Love Allways

They're just too young. Hearing a TEENAGER who legit just graduated high school say "I've had my fun, now I'm ready to settle down" is so weird and gross. They mostly look 12 and can't even drink yet, why are they trying to get these kids to find their soulmate lol And having grown people "coach" these kids is also creepy. The premise alone is alright I guess but I think the contestants should at least be a decade older.

It's also worth mentioning that it's nice to have a bachelorette who says she doesn't care about gender but yet, it's only femme cis girls and masc cis (all straight but one) boys, not all that "groundbreaking".

For me, this show falters on two fronts, as of episode 3.

First, its cast is 18-22, meaning that maturity level is a big factor. I'm 36, and perhaps a younger viewer would feel differently, but to me, a lot of the participants lack a well-developed personality. In the case of a few of the guys, it's almost like watching children go about their day. If these people were maybe 5 years older, I think you'd have a much different dynamic.

The second is that the pace is too quick. There's an elimination each episode, so there's not a lot of time to get to know these people, or for them to get to know each other. For me, a large part of the appeal of reality dating shows is to see friendships and relationships blossom. Love Island does this very well. Here, it feels rushed.

All in all, I don't know if this was a swing and a miss, or a cynical cash grab, but I think the execution of an otherwise interesting concept isn't very good. One of the two dating coaches is 29, so still very young, and seeing him interact with one of the contestants in episode 2 comes off like he's parenting a child. If the contestants were older and more mature, and the show had a slower pace, I think this show could be great. As it is, I couldn't get into it.

All the guys had the same hairstyle/cut Right off the bat you're like "Oh god this is a highschool play" where everyone looks the same to fit in. 3 episodes in I thought it was a play. Some of the guys acted and talked as if they were on a script. The women are beautiful as usual but I'm in episode 8 and they all bore me.

Lexi is gorgeous but she looks lost alot of times.

She has people compete for a date or 1on1 with her yet throughout the show you see her randomly in the house with contestants and in the "confessional" How did she get there? Why is she there with a contestant? It's terribly put together. Almost like they put a group of teens together in a house with 2 shaparones and let them do whatever and hope the cameras and editors can pick up some good stuff. They don't.

I probably watched the show for the wrong reasons. But there was interesting dynamics between to exes. And they are trying to manage their feelings while competing for another person. Their story was more interesting than the whole point of the show. Most of the story was not shown because they're trying to make the show about the person who was trying to find the date which makes sense, so it led to the misrepresentation of some participants. It's reality TV show I guess that's the risk you got to take. Overall good show to kill the time definitely has drama and it's interesting new version of this type of shows.
