Speaking about the matching process, Coles said that she and the other experts of the show work hard to bring two individuals together who would seem perfect together. Also, they never deliberately match the couple if they know the couple wouldn't be good together. But, the show has led to some couples choosing to part their ways with bad terms with each other.
However, the show also led to some pairs determining to remain married on Decision Day, and after beyond the show like Austin Hurd-Jessica Studer.
