Dated and Related

I watch a lot of Reality TV. Love Island (all countries), Too Hot To Handle, The Bachelor(ette) Franchise, Ex on the Beach, 90 Day Fiancé, The Circle, etc. I even watched a few random Reality Tv shows on Amazon Prime. This is probably the worst one out there.

The cast is horrible. There is no chemistry, and no one to root for. It also tends to focus on two girls that all the men seem to gravitate towards. Didn't they try to see what the contestants like to ensure that there is some fair play on the show?

It almost felt like the contestants had signed up to be imprisoned in the villa. It's a beautiful location, but you barely even see it. They never leave! Dates are lame and pretty rare. No fun activities or any space to spice things up or to even create any drama. So, there's no entertainment value.

The contestants, except for one girl, are quite boring and have very shallow/ superficial connections. If they are not boring, I didn't have a chance to see any personality because the show is heavily edited.

The finale was boring too. The host is really cringe, and has no charm. Every time she calls, the contestants act all surprised as if anybody else ever uses that phone.

I noticed some posts saying that the show is borderline incestuous. I didn't necessarily think that, but there was one particular "challenge" regarding a bath that may have crossed a line for many people. I didn't really think the siblings were acting odd, though. They seem very close, and nothing wrong with that.

Literally, pick anything else to watch. I still question my sanity, considering I finished the show.

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.

Now this section is dedicated to IMDb. I'm making this a very, very, very, very long review because of the new rule established for review character length, courtesy of the IMDb staff. I'm glad to report that you can absolutely trust that this review is credible and relevant based solely on the fact that it contains at least 600 characters.

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.

Obviously, this is a copy of THTH. But it's a cheap copy. THTH was so much "deeper" than this. Melinda, one of the most attention seeking people in THTH, is just annoying and it looks like she is constantly self-advertising for future jobs. And even hearing her talk about "true love" and rating other's relationships... just stop it. Everything, showing a real connection and relationship, not being exciting and with drama, is simply not put to display.

The only reason, why I'd give 2 stars, is that the prize was awarded for what came closest to an actual deep and genuine connection. (I even feel like I shouldn't use that word because of how it was literally destroyed during the series...)

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.
