Brandon and Taylor argued frequently on the show's tenth season, which is about to air its "Decision Day" episode on Wednesday, April 15.
Tension between the pair heightened during the couples' retreat when Brandon essentially quit the show and insisted he was done with Taylor and their relationship after she spent the night in a hotel with friends.
Not only did Brandon yell and swear at Taylor -- which Married at First Sight expert Pastor Calvin Roberson called "infantile" behavior on Unfiltered -- but he also had a showdown with a producer named Leif.
After smugly removing his microphone to make a statement that the show's producers couldn't control him, Brandon taunted and berated Leif.
"We were having an argument and then I thought he went off. I didn't know he was also fighting with the producer," Taylor said on Unfiltered.
"Everybody was desperately trying to calm him down, but it's just like I went in there with such good intentions."
Despite Taylor's attempts to calm Brandon down and talk thing out, Brandon chose to leave the couples' retreat early and never return.

Taylor and Brandon's relationship seemed destined for happiness and longevity in the first week of their arranged marriage on Married at First Sight, but Brandon lashed out at production and Taylor at the end of their honeymoon in Panama, and the couple could seemingly never recover.
Taylor said she felt disrespected on a daily basis by Brandon's lack of effort and desire to spend time with her, but Brandon believed Taylor wasn't really ready or willing to be a wife.

Brandon also claimed Taylor's priorities were off and she cared more about hanging out with her friends and using her phone than making a relationship work with him.
As the process continued, Brandon became increasingly more paranoid and frustrated in regards to the documentation part of the process, which bled into his relationship with Taylor when he started to believe Taylor had only signed up to marry at first sight to gain social-media followers and become a reality TV star.
Following the couple's retreat and Brandon's meltdown, however, Taylor later informed viewers she and her husband had reconciled and were trying to get their relationship back on track once they returned home to the Washington, D.C. area.
Taylor agreed to spend time with Brandon off-camera and work through their issues privately.
While Taylor maintained "hope" her marriage would continue after "Decision Day" and she and Brandon would choose to stay together, she wasn't even sure if Brandon was going to show up to the final meeting with the show experts.
