Ben and Ellie… who would buy his ‘I heard my newphews on the phone like I probably have millions of times before but this time while in a reality tv dating show, paired with someone who wants kids it made me realise I want kids too even though two days ago I didn’t’ bs… Ellie’s not a dip shit, at this point she’s in it for longer air time and is getting a great victim edit which she plays into. Ben is bland and his pod cast would be equally as bland. Also why hasn’t anyone grilled him more on his crap about her being ‘sensitive’ and ‘emotional’

Eden & Jayden… genuinely into each other, I get his I don’t regret things but wouldn’t blackmail my ex into a revenge thing again stance, but I’m curious why the producers didn’t include more of the storyline in their edit

Lucinda & Timothy… why is the pressure always on the more reserved person to adjust to the one who’s super out there? Why don’t the experts tell Lucinda to back up and chill out a bit? Neither of these two are remotely interested in the other and Lucinda is undercover mean (which I love haha), coming out with little digs at Timothy whenever she’s pissed off. I wanna see more of her pettiness

Sara & Tim… she didn’t wanna do the phone swap cos she definitely had mean texts about him to her mates… Tim is like Ellie with the victim edit, also how could Sara cry at ‘Tim yelling at her’ it wasn’t remotely aggressive, it was comedic, like when you do pull a ‘oh no you didn’t’ on a friend. They can’t stand each other but Tim is better at pretending.

Tori and jack… miss understand the brief completely, they’re not supposed to be battling the others or trying to compete with them, they’re supposed to be trying to build a relationship lol, again not interested in each other at all, but at the end of all this she’ll probably train at his gym or something.

Andrea and Richard… defo have the feels, I’d like to see more of their long establishment relationship patterns come out, reckon that’d be interesting

Cass & Tristan… she’s nice he’s nice & funny, they both into the ‘analysis’ of things probably watch self development vids on YouTube, I think they’ll be life long friends but not sure they’re interested in each other.

Lauren & Johno… bad match for sure, I love Lauren’s perspective on other couples and things like that, I get where she’s coming from when she wants more of his genuine perspective, he’s defo a people pleaser, he didn’t think the eye gazing was a garbage activity but was placating her, HOWEVER, she’s going about the mission of his honesty all wrong.
