Perfect Match

I love trashy reality but this show is just awfully boring. Everyone is there to promote their OF or boost their instagram profile. The challenges are what we saw in other shows so many times, dialogues are boring. The only reason to watch it is if you are really into one of the contestants, as all of them are from other Netflix shows (The Circle, Too Hot to Handle, LIB), but even though I really like Francesca, in this show she's not nearly as fun as she was in THTH.

Everyone looks uninterested and tired.

Tldr: the show lacks authenticity and is made to recycle the same old Netflix reality stars.

The show doesn't truly depict what all if takes to be in a real relationship. So in that regard, I do not take it seriously as such and I feel like viewers who watch shouldn't either. It is a "fun and games" type of experience. Most of the cast from season 1 and season 2 are people who are known to get around, which I feel like is more of the premise of the show. "Let's see who can stick together the longest of all the cast who mostly gets around." It's like a millennial surface based survivor show based around coupling, but not true love of course. So I recommend not taking this seriously for that.

The issue that I have is with regards to season 2. Season 1's cast was slightly older and thus more mature, however, season 2's cast was much less mature overall. There were things done behind the scenes that caused the final vote to be one that wasn't deserved and a total surprise. I think they should rethink their voting system for sure to avoid this from happening again.

Fake people and a fake outcome.

This season is the cherry on top, highlighting just how dumb this show is, with most of its content being fake and scripted. It's a bunch of grown-ups behaving like teenagers, and most of the interactions are staged. What bothers me is that young or desperate people watch this show and believe that a perfect match is someone who doesn't care about them, fools around with others, and then comes back the next day claiming they care. It's fake. And it's toxic.

To see how bad this series is, just look at who won the prize. The winner clearly reflects the lack of authenticity and the superficial nature of the show. It's disheartening to see such a misguided portrayal of relationships gaining popularity.

1) Totally unoriginal. Love Island with little love and mostly ego.

2) Clearly trying to build on Netflix brand reality shows (all the singles are from other Netflix shows).

3) "Couples" are given little time or opportunity to build connection. Because of format, they are always in survival mode. Love shouldn't be chess, but it REALLY shouldn't be checkers.

Basically, this is "Netflix Reality All-Stars" or "Shallow People Hookup". Not Perfect Match.

Let's be honest...most of these shows are thin. But give me something or someone to root for. Anything that gives me hope that these beautiful people aren't manipulators and want the best for themselves and others. I think all these people should stay single. At least until they no longer have reality shows or followers. Then they might finally have a chance at finding love.

I understand this is a reality show, it's purely for entertainment, and does not matter BUT.. most of the men are PAINFUL to watch. Joey Sasso has manipulative/abusive energy, gaslights the heck out of Karoselle, and all around is so emotionally immature.

Shane from Love is blind is psychotic, the man is OFF and again, is NOT mature enough to be on these shows.

Nick was pretty aggressive the first night and does not understand social cues, but i think he will level out.

Truly, the show is painful, but I know that is not surprising.

Also, it is kind of confusing what the game is and the end goal? 'Are you the one?' on MTV made so much more sense but this one is a bit more muddy. Clearly they are just banking on the drama along the way rather than the competition of it.

It's also pretty boring.
