Match Me Abroad

The show intrigued me and have watched it twice but you don't even see the date long enough to even say you watched it. Two many matches.... I don't know of I will continue this show because again, nothing new the next week as it should be. I mean, only 10 minutes with each couple. Come on... way way too many couples. So far I've watched this show for 47 minutes and I have seen Harold and his date at two minutes oNew parts. They are finally in his hotel room. Was on about 4 minutes and I'm sure I will not see them again tonight. Everything else about them was old. They looked at a couple of photos and too pecks on the lips. He walked her out and he kissed her again and drove off. Not much to go on for a whole week waiting to see what happens. Maybe 3 couples would work for the time allotted for this show.

Interesting enough show, but I know one of the contestants personally; therefore know without doubt that the editors and producers took a great deal of the comments viewers see out of context. To the point where the general impression is significantly skewed. Any quirks in contestants are emphasized to the point of making them seem like idiots; other times, small positive traits are made to look like they are saints.

Then again, that is general practice for reality television, right? Have to make it entertaining, have to make ratings, have to name the big money. These contestants were all paid to go abroad with free matchmaking services, paid to date and travel, so of course they had to sign to be alright with however they were portrayed.

Social media is cashing in, the producers even fabricated some scenarios. The line between fact and "reality" is blurred; scenarios might not be entirely fabricated, but they are strongly "nudged" in the direction the show producers want, not allowing for a very natural progression.

Again, this is a given in this day and age for reality shows, but that doesn't make it acceptable.

Seriously how did anyone say "Match Me Abroad" and not get laughed at out of the room? Referring to a woman as a broad might have flown 60 plus years ago but... If this is what Hollywood has to offer without SAG and the Writer's Guild then Hollywood should fall into the Pacific only to be reborn wherever the talent disappeared to.

It's actually pretty offensive. They are looking for a complete narrow view of what men and women from their respective country of choice are actually like. They are looking for a complete stereotype! It's actually pretty offensive and adds to the overall awkwardness of the show.

There is so much wrong with the characters in this show, I don't know where to begin. I have watched 4 episodes of this series, and after the first two, I can tell you, almost every single one of them have some deep personality defect that prevents them from having any kind of normal relationship. They can't even carry on simple conversations, are egotistical to the extreme, are totally delusional about what people from another country outside the US are wanting in a mate. I hate how they keep pushing the narrative that foreign men and women are better than Americans. No. No one from anywhere wants goofballs, stupid, selfish people or naïve rubes for mates.

This show is extremely cringey and uncomfortable to watch! It has potential to be entertaining but misses the mark. Maybe if the producers spent some time showing the sites and scenery of the amazing countries and cities that are singles are spending time in, it would distract from how completely socially inept and icky they are. It's also completely laughable how the American singles have such a narrow view of what men and women from their respective country of choice are actually like. They are looking for a complete stereotype! It's actually pretty offensive and adds to the overall cringey awkwardness of the show.
