If you were responsible for coupling the current participants who would you put together and why? Given that the experts don’t actually match on likelihood of the couples finding a long lasting partner that doesn’t need to be your decider either (lol)

Here’s my turn

Andrea and Richard based on their connection and adventure/effervescence for life

Sara & Jacob (aka temu teeth) cos maybe they’d be able to reflect on some of their own behaviour by experiencing it from someone else *** also under strict supervision of Alessandra

Lauren and Ridge- I think they’d have a good laugh and good chemistry and he wouldn’t be uncomfortable with her trash mouth jokes (which I love)

Natalie and Ash- he seems gentle enough for her personality type and genuinely interested in finding love

Collins and Ben- so they can start a comedy podcast together

Tim and Ellie- They both seem fairly interested in the process

Madeline and the cows cos she seemed to love them so much

Lucinda and Duncan (from last season) cos why not give her a hot respectful mature bloke who can match her insighfullness and take her to the club

Johnathan and Cass- Cos they’re both fairly good at thinking and talking through things and he’d be less reserved in her presence

Timothy, Tristan and John Aitkin (under supervision of Allesandra) so they can get some serious deep dive therapy for the whole time

***Or Timothy and a bus cos I’m just watching last nights ep and he’s still banging on about busses and busses probably won’t care if he’s not affectionate lol

Michael, Stephen & Tori, so Tori can feel like she’s winning and see what healthy conversation looks like

Eden and Jayden cos they look like they’re actually interested in each other

Jade and Hugo (from last season) cos he got messed over by Tasmanian Tayla and literally slept on a windowsill for her
