Married at First Sight Spoilers- Derek Sherman Says Katie Conrad’s Ex was Competition

Viewers know the back story involving Katie and her ex, who tried to stop her before she walked down the aisle with Derek, and how it might have influenced their relationship from the start. However, it seemed that maybe the couple had gotten through the idea of Katie getting back with her ex. On the other hand, in an interview with In Touch, he let his true feeling show during that time, expressing that he felt like he was in competition with Katie’s ex throughout the whole process.

However, just as viewers suspected, he did not want to give up on his relationship with Katie. He confirmed what some viewers suspected, which was that Katie’s feeling for her ex played a part in their marriage. As some viewers assumed that Katie only treated Derek the way she did because she still had feelings for her ex and may have regretted getting married to Derek.

Derek admitted that he was being compared to Katie’s ex constantly, which could not have been good for his self-esteem and may make viewers wonder why that was not included in the filming? Especially since viewers already knew about Katie’s ex.

Derek commented, “Going into this, I promised myself I would blindly follow this process and drink the ‘Kool-Aid’ to see it through to the end. I wanted to believe in the process, so I threw out any expectations I had and ignored anything my gut told me. Because at the end of the day, maybe the reason I haven’t found love yet is because I was looking for the wrong things.”
