Dated and Related

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 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.

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.

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.
