The One That Got Away

Novel concept and great addition to the world of dating shows. Unlike the cheesy fairytale known as the bachelor, this show actually pairs people who, in most cases, know each other. Tune in to see if an old fling can become your new thing. Sometimes you meet the love of your life at the wrong time.

There is 100% no science based facts that you meet the one by the time your 25 but don't know it. Most Millenials get married and have kids in there 30s or later due to wanting to experiencing life and with life expentancey at an all time high, they should experience life as long as they can before settling down. A trainwreck of a show forcing people to be together before they are ready to be together or were no right for each other in the first place.

Three days into Covid-19 isolation, I stumbled upon this train wreck full of attractive people praising and cursing a "Portal" for bringing them people from their past. Not all of the contestants are the worst, but there are some deeply awful people on this show. Also- it's clear that the entire show's budget was spent on dry ice.

Silver linings? Betty Who is effortlessly delightful and people exercise together with a 20lb wheel of cheese.

I agree with the other review that this show is a classier version of Ex on the Beach. I think that this show could use a bit more work, but it had an interesting first season.

The casting for most part is fantastic! I really love Anthony. Give that man his own show! He's so fun, entertaining, hilarious, sassy, and amazing. I love every single appearance he makes on the screen. It's also nice to see more representation on a dating show, and hopefully there will be more in the next season.

I like to see the interactions between the people from the past that show up. I like to see the friendships that form on reality TV.

I am not a big fan of the host. She's meh. Not bad, not great.

The main cast is okay. I enjoy watching how delusional Alyssa is, and her cringe dates are amusing. It's so obvious that she's not getting people she expected to see. I am not a big fan of Ashley. She definitely needs to work through her insecurities. She gives men mixed signals, and gets jealous over men she's not even into. I am not a big fan, but I guess it makes for some entertaining drama.

Give this show a try if you have watched all other reality TV, and are craving some more. I hope there will be a second season. I also really hope Anthony gets his own show because I will watch all of it!

What can one say about the show that is obviously created just a philosophy created just to fill a slot in the in the millennial bracket?. The contestants on this show are all shallow, self involved, self-promoting people of a very distinct demogeaphic rqnge - upwardly mobile, confident, pretty Millenials.

Of course they have the token gay man and Asian woman, but they both qualify for the same bracket. These people aren't really looking for love because they all seem to lack the mental maturity for any real connection, they are just looking to fill a slot in their mental picture.( Pretty, upwardly mobile spouse to contribute to our life goals - check!!) For almost all of us real love comes when you aren't ooking, aren't expecting it and open your heart to it, not when you are just looking for a business partner. These relationships are doomed to fail before they start, maybe not in the space of this show but within 5 years, tops. But hey, at least the setting and people are pretty.

Want to run a real show like this? Pick people of all walks of life, with a ton more diversity and age range. I'd love to see this show for 30-60 year-olds, with most in their mid-to late 40s. These are people that have actually lived, have regrets and wish for a do-over (but I know those people are out of the 'prime spenders' category *sigh*).
