Dans la famille Sexy...

1 episode in. This show is not your typical cringey dating show. It's awkward to watch on new levels. Pairs of tiktok/IG-influencer-looking siblings (and one pair of intolerable cousins, for some reason) try to either wingman/woman their sibling or expose their sometimes pretty messed up enmeshed sibling relationship on TV. Some of these pairs look like they belong on a specific category on a specific streaming site.

However, some of this people are actually quite watchable and the levels of cringe shift between unbearable to watch to car crush TV, so I'll probably keep watching. Also, the episodes are too long for what this show is, which makes it less enjoyable to binge.

What a snooze fest. I was using it as background sound as I was playing video games and wow, it was just boring. Nothing happened. There is no stimulated action from the producers like challenges or something. What small events happen are cheap and also boring. The players were all so obsessed with their own looks it was like they were posing the whole time. I dont feel like anyone actually liked anyone else romantically ... it was just THAT superficial. Nothing particularly funny. The narrator and MC was also just meh. Also surprisingly cheap. Sure, the location itself is probably a pricey rental ... but they obviously didn't spend a drop more since most of the screen time seems to be spent watching these narcissists self groom. Netflix has other reality shows in the same "genre" that were way more interesting than this. This was just tedious.

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...)

So for a tv show with an MTV vibe I was expecting 8's and above which a few of the contestants fall short for that. Most notably the Texas sisters. Their facial features are awkward and to that they are socially awkward as well. The first ten minutes of watching them attempt to flirt is almost painful to watch. Nothing against Texas there are lots of attractive people in Texas which is why I am baffled they went with that pair. I have a prettier face and I am no head turner so that should say a lot. The best by far are the London and UK pairs. The Americans don't hold a candle to them. So pass!

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.
