Dated and Related

I love me some trash tv. THTH, Love Island, I love all that stuff. This show though? Uncomfortable. The further I got the more incestuous things turned. Comments such as "she's just like my sister: they're both fit, warm, kind, and I think that's what attracted me most" or "my type is my brother's personality in a tall, dark, and handsome body" are made. There are challenges involving convincing other teams that you have to go off and do something borderline inappropriate with your sibling. It's just getting weirder and weirder as the episodes go along. This trash tv is just a little too trash for me.

The concept of the show is interesting: Going on dates when your sibling is present since it introduces an additional awkwardness during dating that isnt usually there.

However that is where the positives end in my opinion.

The host (Melinda) is super robotic, I like here energy but it was painfully obvious that she was reading verbatim off of a script.

The contestants talk a lot about getting to know one anothers personality and having 'deep' discussions, but the show never shows them talking about it or being themselves. Ive seen more discussion on physical appearances than stuff like hobbies, opinions and long term goals.

The emotions on the show were painfully fake as well. After people get eliminated tears start flowing even though they have only known this person for 1 maybe 2 episodes, they also seem shocked that it is the host on the phone even though she is literally the only person who calls them.

One more thing is that the sense of time is unclear. Do they spend a couple hours between episodes? A day? A couple of days? I have no clue.

Overall I feel like the concept makes this show good enough to give a shot if you are really bored, but if you dont like it after the first couple of episodes you will not like it by the end.

This dating show was just a bunch of hot people hanging out by a pool and working out. All of the relationships and friendships were casual and as flimsy as a flip flop. And just to seal the deal that this dating show is a sham, there is miraculously - a cash prize! Like what even. A few good drama moments and definitely hot bods, but a very pointless show.

Reality show used to cast humans that looked liked humans

go anywhere get 100 random people and see if they look like the people here how can anyone related to that ?!

Its like too hot to handle but not as good with a tenth of the budget

the show is simply bad boring and blantly stupid nothing special nothing new

all they do is copy other much better reality shows they dont bring anything new

casting for reality showes used to be done with interesting people or humans that other people can relate to

it looks like the only direction the casting managers had here was "hot twins"

there is a absudrly rediculrs prize in the end that each one of this actors "lets face it all of them are working as instagram models" gets more of monthly on their instagrams

and just nothing happens

ps* i love the idea to bring couples from france, england, iran, etc but the frensh people dont look anything like frensh the british really dont look british and the Iran girls...lets not even get into that (what was the show runners even thinking ...)

so 1/10 is the lowest i can give it deserves less.

I thought I could like this show. Maybe. The concept intrigued me. I just feels so awkward with most of the contestants. It's not edited well. The show is a little boring. The games are stupid. But what's w the secret mission bubble bath mission? That's sick and doesn't make sense. Trying to be Love Island or BIP but not hitting the mark. Give out some date cards or something. I don't think you have enough people on the show. It's actually weird. But to be honest the worst of it for me is the Host, Melinda? She is making it hard for me to watch. Why doe she talk like Alana from too hot to handle? Does she understand Alana is a computer and is supposed to sound like that? Melinda sounds fake AF. It's no secret Melinda thinks Very highly of herself. Instead of being humble and down to earth, she's cocky,fake, not genuine. Not authentic. And she's too damn LOUD. She acts like a princess and that's So Annoying, she's a turn off. So, I had to turn it off. Sorry Melinda, I don't even know who you are. But, you need to get over yourself.
