Deep Fake Love

This show makes Temptation Island look positively helpful to relationships . (Almost) It's the same premise..couples in relationships in trouble decide the best way to deal with it is to go on TV, and get involved with others and look for a happy ending with their original partner and with some money.

The twist here is that they are shown 'Deep fake' videos of their partner engaged in...being engaged with someone else.

Some videos are real and some are most definitely not but they don't know the difference.

We are in on the 'joke' (is it a joke or game ? ) anyway...in the end the truth of the videos are revealed to the partners but even when they are told what is true and what isn't the doubts are clearly planted by the Deep Fakes so positive endings are in doubt.

And then there's the 'bait' partners ..no one cares about them. It seems that any feelings they may have are inconsequential.

The take from this programme is that Deep Fakery in the real world is scary and concerning.

We definitely cannot believe what we think we see and this show shows it possibly better than any 'news' or political pundit ever has.

Here it's being done for 'entertainment' ...but in the real world it can be used for anything.

My overriding feeling watching this show is it's voyeuristic and essentially very cruel.

It's playing on anyone's deepest insecurities and once triggered and 'proved' (even though they're not) how do you go on from there. It will be interesting to see if another season is done and what happens in the long run to these couples.

I really don't get how human beings can act like this. They literally mentioned they had intentions to get married or whatever before the show started and they act like adolescents the first chance they get.

Also, how painful it must be to see those fake footages. You must start to doubt everything.

And what happen if they are right that their partner is cheating on them?! They get the money, go back to their lives like nothing happened?

They must not love their partners that much to act like this... But I can only guess how one must feel being separated from their partner and facing singles in heat. I don't know...

If I could use one word to explain why you'd possibly enjoy watching a show like this, it'd be the German word "Schadenfreude". The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer defined it as "an infallible sign of a thoroughly bad heart and profound moral worthlessness", the worst trait in human nature. He also said that anyone caught enjoying the suffering of others should be shunned from human society. Yikes.

Now, I'm not sure how much I agree with him. Schadenfreude might be a human flaw, but it is also a testament to our capacity for emotional flexibility, our ability to hold apparently contradictory thoughts and feelings in mind simultaneously. How and why do we enjoy the pain of others - what is acceptable, what is "too far"?

"Deep Fake Love" pushes the dating reality show concept into terrifying new territory. Contestants put their trust to the test as deep fake technology blurs the line of truth and lies in a cash prize game. Sounds like your cup of tea? Grab a chair. It's about to get ugly.

I love me a good trashy reality dating show to pass time. But this one definitely takes the cake in the worst way possible and I couldn't get past the 4th episode. I don't understand why any contestant would be dumb enough to go on this show. While every trashy show is traumatic for any contestant, this show takes it too far and creates unnecessary trauma for these people. I hope they get the therapy they need and It's not worth 100,000 euros. The host is horrible, she's pretty much a robot. 0/10 don't recommend. Too scripted. Too stupid. Not worth your time. Please go watch any other trashy dating show.

I hope this show is not scripted because it's quite interesting. It's a social experiment about testing couple's fidelity showing how couples can have a change of heart when put in a tempting situation. Yes, it's a little harsh especially when participants are shown videos of their partner making out, cuddling with another person, or saying something behind their back. For sure that was clearly explained to them before the show started. It's a social experiment that shows peoples true colors. It shows the reality that both men and women are equally capable of cheating on their life partners. Not recommended for wussy audience like tarazijlstra.
