Ashatic Neti is crushing it on there as well. And I will be out with the next summer house episodes as well. I think we've got the finale and then three part reunion, which is going to be It's going to be interesting As you can tell, I'm obsessed with Scamanda if anyone listened to the solo twibbin that I did last week Um focused heavily on Sierra Miller and how she has risen out of that scandal And that is all our business Now for the top ten moments, I'm also going to give my dump awards as well T most important moment from Perfect match season four. cururrent couplplees list. So If you haven't watched all the episodes them this is going to have spoilers for Episodes one through five. cururrent couples are. Gaman and Natalie. they are In a friendship couple, it appears to me. Natalie's like, no, we're friends to lovers, but I don't know. He's been doing a great colorful narration this entire season see U has mostly been letting people come to her she can Um She also revealed that she had had a five su with her friends and one of the most recent episodes. The other couples are Marissa and Demari, powerower couple. who have won both competitions We also have Jimmy S from Love is Blind and Ally from Vanderpump Rules We will talk more about them as well U we have or sorry Ally Oh my gosh Allie and Jimmy P. from Lo is Bind. and then we have Allison and Jimmy S all the Allies and Jimmies Um So Jimmy As is the influencer And then finally, we have our international couple, Sophie from Lov is byy UK and Dave from Maths, Australia. Um, You can tell that there's some disappointment in some of the people that have been kicked off for me going back through. But that is our number nine top important moment is The casting from this season. We have heavy on the Temptation Island, we have heavy on the too hot to handle That's pretty traditional. and there is no bachelor player We have two internationals and Sophie from Loesland, UK D from MS, Australia We have a bunch of new shows that are on Netflix Nick from Millionaire Match, notot millionaire Matchmaker. Secret millionaire We have Allison from Building the Band, Mcenzie from Squid Game, The Challenge, Chris from Age of attraction However, there is still a huge advantage to be one to being one of the OG cast members Um, I would have personally casts Kit Kat and Cassie as OGs Also, I would have brought someone specifically for Nick Um, but we'll get to it. Number eight, top moment from the first perfect match dump. we have Jimmy Sotos. This is the first influencer who has not been on a show who is cast in the show G is doing what appears to be a black set. He is using AAVE as a white man H I' like I I get why he's cast. He first of all, I think this is controversial his accent. I did go down a rabbit hole of it on TikTok and there are people sharing clips where he is talking to his dad and code switching in that clip as well as another one where he's talking about art Do without what you will Uh, I think posossibly one of the reasons he was cast was to be kind of controversial And U he also is Oh my God. I saw um Storytime with Ricky U ost it because I was like, he reminds me of like from something and I couldn't quite place what it was I was like It seems kind of like he's doing a bit And Storyime with the Rickyie remind me of the character that He reminded me of, which is Malibu's most Wed Excellent, excellent parallel He is a very entertaining player. He Is You know? entertaining a lot of different matches. He is pretending to not know who Nicolase is, who is this guy? I laughed out loud very curious. what the fourth audience's reaction is going to be once. more people have caught up on this dump Our top seven moment from Perfect Batch. Dump one is We had the dates So Demar and Marissa They didn't win a date on the first challenge, which was new But they won a second challenge and they got this hot tub romantic date with a view and they kind of like lay in these kind of easaster eggs to like maybe there's gonna to be trouble in paradise in their relationship. on talking about exs and like whether they whether they could fake a relationship, etceta. We have Kaylen Crisco on this artistic expression Date where They paint a surfboard with their butts and their abs. David Mcenzie do this adventure roughing it date with. Baking bananas thousand en to me S do a one in room going around to these different shops. Catherine and Jimmus do this U We finally get the three the three baddies come in Katherine, Cassie and UK Sophie Cathine and GBS do this floating date And the person that teaches them how to do this intimate floating was my Jorge Mino, bystander of the Dump Cassie and Jenmy do this romantic truck picnic, Sophie and Dave chopping stuff or Tasting alcohol somethingomet like that And Our sixth top moment from this dump is Chris Dlin and Kayla Richard We're Chris Allen is from Age of attraction, Kayla is from I want to say too hot to handle And they were voted as the least compatible Basically most fortyWR coupled by the rest of the people Chris Hyde with Jimmy S or Jimmy P Jesus. Jimbo I'll just call him Jumbo as the male player and then Marissa and D Mari then get the tie breaking vote Our six top moment is Chris Dolin from Age oftraction and Kayla Richard from T hot to handle are voted as the male and female player who are basically the most foryWR according to the rest of the crew They even though they're Supposedly in a perfect mash together, they get eliminated He is described in the actual Episode desescriptions as a love bomber And She's not an OG, so obviously, she's going to be at a deficit. Chris tied with Jimbo Jimmy P Oh for the most for TWR. male player, but D Maria Marissa got to issue the tie breaking vote Um It's I have My runner up for error of the dump is Chris trying to give Mackenzie a fancy wallet on night one But my error of the dump actually goes to Jimmy P AK Jimbo saying that he was forteen WR right before they do this vote off wild, wild play We Then Fifth top moment from the perfect match Dump one. Y. My chaos king, Nick Palechia. I was excited about this player from going through the Instagrams Um That was Last week the episode before our Twibin I went through all their Instagrams. I had not watched Secret Millionaire here is so entertaining Everything he's saying on camera. He is not good at a finding his first audience, a romantic partner. Um I wanted to see much more of this player Unfortunately, He does get kicked off And I'm hoping he can come back in because he gave me some of my favorite one liners from the show. like basasically saying that unless Timothy Salimay, Christiana Ronaldo are in there, he's going to be fine. and he keeps calling Aliceon Claw eyes, I guess based on her eyeliner. So I have been calling Aliceon Claw eyes for the rest of the show. has an homage Um, incredible reality talent and He's making some incredible social media with Natalie as well And I thought maybe he would be fine because he does pair up the first night with Natalie and they engage in some volunteer and unity play Fortunately not My summer calendar has suddenly become There are dinners, weddings Fishing trips, my new Burning Man AK, the Minnesota State Fair And every time one pops up, I think, what am I going to wear That's why I always end up on revolve Revolve is my go to when I don't want to overthink it everything styled in a way that makes sense. so it's already curated. I'm not endlessly scrolling, trying to put together an outfit. I find one dress I like, and then Revolve immediately shows me similar styles matching pieces, other looks that fit the exact vibe.

Start advertising on podcasts by visiting acast. com slash advertise. ur fourth top takeaway is It's Casa Aore. No. It's split We get the states. No. It's the male and female mixers This is the part of the show where They split by gender and go hang out with All of the people who haven't come into the show yet or the people who have been kicked off So for the women There's only one player who hasn't come to the show yet is Brianna Barum who is Damari's ex. They won too hot to handle together She also played on Battle camp, which Clues and I are the only two people who watch that Neflook show And She's an incredible player She's at a disadvantage because Tamari won the first two rounds Although I do have a secret theory that maybe they're secretly together. and he's just waiting to pivot I also have that theory of him and Katherine And We'll see how that plays out. She has refused to hug him In episode five, that's all we've seen of that. dynamic. There are a few guys that we haven't seen before There's the cowboy who lives on a plane uh, from Love Island season one, I guess. We've got Temptation Islands Hashim and Temptation Islands Danny. And They know. known natally. I don't I don't know how well they're going to do. Sheam seems to be going for Allie who is pretending to be open at this point Um Actually that maybe that was one of my errors as well. Jimmy. OkayK Jimbo issuing an option to open the night after he consummates with and she had tried to play in all egs one basket Brings me to our third top moment from the dump. We have Allie from Vanderpump Rules, Ally Lubber and Love is Bind alum Jimmy Presnll AK Jumpo They seem an unlikely pair. She is wilding out. She's really leaning into her astrology thing. She is leadeading into her jealousy play as well as musicals, which I love And I have two competing theories about Allie presenting so differently than she did on Vander Prump Rules One is that They caught her personality from Vanderpum. or it faded to the background because she's romantically paired with James DJ James Kennedy, who is onene of the greatest reality players of all time U O She got feedback from her time on Vanderpump that she was too boring and she has cultivated this new character that she is using on the show. It is so entertaining to me. the bombastic playstyle that I was not expecting from her. I was expecting more girl next door Play But I love it and she It has secured her some of the most screen time of any player on this season Jimmy is not playing well, I would say, Jembo. He has He essentially openly stated that he was forty WR in this meeting with Nick Liche. where he's like, well, yeah, the romantic connection is important, but you know, the friendships and the other things that we're getting out of this experience are good too. It's like, no, you gott to go fall for TRR. you gott to be like finding my perfect match, the title of the show is my main reason He has engaged in experimental hair and body playay Makeover going into the season. And it seems to be working for him. He has teamed up with Ali who is one of the superstars And they in the last episode or maybe I guess it's between episodes They made the first consummation play And again, he makes this error where She all Eggs one baskets right before the consummation The next morning When they learn their split week, he says, options open, no boundaries. And so we basically then see Allie you know, pretending to be possibly interested in rematching with some of the new people She's making out with Hashim doing some he's forklifting her. And I'm He's just not he and his and he's also doing jealousy play, even though he's options he keeps options opening can't really do. you kind of got a pickleine. Our number two top takeaway from the first dump is Dam Maria Marissa, this is our power couple They It seems like they are trying to recreate the magic that you had with an AD and Ollie, AK the womb Raider. But The the spark isn't quite there in my opinion Marissa is engaging in some jealousy play. that And I think it's ' she can sense. that maybe she is a placeholder for someone else coming into the game at this point, but they are getting in some fights. he is doing eye role playay when they're picking Three of the four. female players to enter the game. Dem Mari does like It's not saying he's like super reassuring her. He's like, Yeahah, we can pick my exor Catherine, who will probably go for me. which I probably wouldn't say. E if you know it to be true, And I'm very curious what the Demari Be reunion will look like if Demariia Emarisa will be able to patch things up is good in this game, generally speaking to be one of the longest running couples in order to win, but it's like What is the prize for winning this game? A trip value at one hundred K Um The real prize is social media followers. I don't know that we're getting super huge gains for anybody yet. U I'm very curious about those numbers. Mbe Clues and I will look at that in our Tibin But As far as having an A couple for the season, I guess they would be it. and they have won two compatibility challenges. But mayaybe trouble in paradise. I don't know, but maybe this is just a wall they will overcome And they'll win. I don't know Um All top takeaway from this dump, however, is They have rem mixed the format of perfect match someomewhat I think they have seen that there are some flaws in some of the earlier seasons. You have the one season where All of the people who were kicked out of the house just voted for the new couple who were the the people who had been together the least who were their friends we have Presumably them'm trying to fix The problem which I feel like was the main problem with season three, which was that couples Oji couples would just stick together Find whoever you can get. And it was pretty boring because there wasn't a lot of movement there And the way that they did this was I think there's fewer total cast members. They're not cutting people immediately on night one. They are giving people a chance to more feel it out, disincentivizing the whole couplees just riding it out. and Yeah, this wrote of for T WR, which Still kind of goes, hurts hurts the hurts the non OGs, hurts the bombshells, but They're at least attempting to kind of finagle the game mechanics to make it. a more entertaining season. I'm curious The dynamic will be from the mixers. I hope they let all the people back into the house. and allow like brand new couples to form because you know, these games that don't have the The attrition, the way that a bachelor show does, tend to fizzle out towards the end when it's just like, o, There's these five couples and they stay together always. And we don't really believe that any of them are really going pivot. Some rituals start with a candle. Others with a deep breath.

So yeah, I enjoyed that they they are going for it and messing with a format willll never really We never really know for sure what the numbers are on Netflix views, let's see if it's in the top The overview says it has generated a polarizing response. So perfect match is in the top
