90 Day: The Last Resort aims to fix marriages, but the latest episode might have hurt Shekinah and Sarper Güven instead. The counselors organized a trust exercise on a mountain. The pairings seemed aimed at sparking tension.
The setup allowed Sarper to assist Thaís Ramone. She is the same castmate who clashed with Shekinah earlier this season in a fight that almost got physical. When Thaís went into a panic partway down the mountain, Sarper stepped up, calmed her, and guided her the rest of the way.
The group applauded him for rising above the drama. Shekinah did not. Thaís was the last person she wanted her husband to show kindness to. She saw that moment as a betrayal.
Why The Producers’ Choice Raised Eyebrows
The pairing itself is what has viewers talking. It was clear that keeping Shekinah and Thaís apart was necessary after their earlier fight almost turned physical. The show did the opposite, placing Shekinah beside Patrick and sending Sarper to help Thaís down.
That’s either bold therapy or just production design. With this franchise, it’s usually smarter to bet on the second. The Last Resort promotes itself as marriage repair. Yet, the exercises often create the tension that makes for great TV. Putting Sarper and Thaís on the same rope was never going to relax anyone.
Is This Couple Actually In Trouble?
Shekinah and Sarper seem to be facing serious issues. They might be the next 90 Day couple to split. Shekinah has pointed to the show as a cause of their marriage troubles. This claim feels even stronger after scenes like this one.
There is a caveat worth keeping. This couple loves to stir up their audience on social media. So, it’s too soon to write off their marriage completely. They may be genuinely struggling, performing, or both at once.
The Bigger Problem With The Show
No matter what happens with these two, the episode shows a pattern the franchise can’t escape. Couples with real issues view The Last Resort as a quick fix. Meanwhile, the show focuses more on drama than on healing.
The track record is not encouraging. A therapist on this series once suggested that Jasmine Pineda and Gino Palazzolo try an open marriage. Recently, they finalized their divorce. Shekinah and Sarper had two full seasons to learn how this worked before signing on. They still chose the cameras over private counseling. No matter how their story ends, this episode shows what the show really is beneath the therapy branding.
