I'm Asia and we are here to talk about season four, episodes six and seven. We' got a nice little small drop here The week before the finale, you know some quick quick coverage here of this year show. And we're excited to talk about it. And I'm not here alone. I'm here with two amazing co hosts. firstirst up, we have Krsa McKinnis person how are you I'm so glad to be here talking to Youu about this show. I'm re pretty annoyed with Netflix because what do you mean five episodes, two episodes, one episode? What are we doing here? Like at least do like four, three, three, or just give me all eight, honestly. They gave us all of Temptation Island did one drop and it was fine Or even like yeah, like a three, four, three like No, it almost feels underwhelming when we had that last week and we have one episode Yeah so yeah. And I know it's because I don't want people spoiling the finale when people have watched less of the show, but like We've got to make it make sense. This is absurd. Yes, exactly. U and to give us the male perspective on this podcast, we have Jason Reed, Jason, how are you? Is this how you do your fan or do you put your whole arm into it? I mean,, you know, you got to put you gott to put your back in it really. You gotta got really on both sides fromr both like the upper part of your head and the fan itself So really get those headwinds going, you know what I mean That's I know Jason has a USB battery fan manual. Come on a look thisy It's got a little clip on it. I can clip it inside whenatever I want Get a directional. So,'m not I'm not big on the fan etiquette. so I'm not really sure how to work this U It's all on the wrist. It's on the wrist It's on the wrist. I get out like I got to get Alison on there on the TikTok to show me how to how to do fan stuff Oh TikTok TikTok. TikTok. Whatever you call it? What do your kids call it nowadays? At least he moved on. He used to call it TikTok Yeah I'm glad he graduated that. Yeah. But happy to be here with you guys to talk about. these's like really just And like you guys mentioned it, The two episodes and it really felt like It was just like a drop of of a show. J a drop of it was like is a little bit just a little bit of story development And it really does feel like notot much happy We' get in. Yeah. So before we go any further, make sure you subscribe to the loveove at first sight feed as well as the hot dummies on Islands feed. so you don't miss any of these podcasts. Also subscribe to the RJP YouTube channel We will be showing the pictures if you're watching the video version of this podcast. But but like Ive said, on a recent podcast We know podcasts are for audio format. Did you see that TikTok person where the girl was like complaining? It' like, podcasts are for audio. Why is it always okay, audio listeners, there's always that caveat. Hey, audio listeners, this is what we're showing I have not seen that TikTok, but I have seen that as a huge source of discourse on threads. So I'm assuming that like Someone on threads saw that TikTok and then posted it, and then now everyone's trying to rip it off to get engagement on threads. Sh people get paid to post on threads? Not me. I'm in it for the love of the game. I do have a price. And is that based on their Instagram following No clue, probably So I guess can I take this opportunity Eone can, please go follow me on Instagram and Kerson said What? so I can get paid to post on the I don't know I have been on threads a lot more often recently. I will say more than even like Blue Sky or that other app because Threads is like the hub for women's basketball content He. So there's so much there. The players are there, the team admins are there. So it's a great spot So I'm all about thads right now So shout out to Birds Here's here's my experience with threads, right uh first of all, my Instagram usage is limited to be a perfect match Instagram account, which is be an agent podcast. That's placing my Instagram. and then I'll accidentally hit something. that I think is a video and it's actually it should lead me to threads, but I don't have threads. So I'm just like, I guess I'm not saying whatever that video was. That's my I guess what I told to see it Now, exactly. Not for me. It's not meant for me then, it wasn't in God's plan for me to see that because I'm not sign up for threats I Yeah. So yeah, everybody go follow Kon. N Mr. C anyways. Anyway, backect Mat. Yes. So this, okay, so this drop, we didn't get a boardroom We got one challenge And we only got One Match, like night where everybody matched up No real shakeups. We had we had the opportunity. Well, we did' have one shakeup We had oppun. I was say there's one shakeup. Yeah. We have an opportunity for multiple shakeups But it was just like, Not really L like there's's there's one mini shakeup And then they're just a new couple for because no one else wants to shake things up Can I stand ten toes down and tell you who I think the winner of pererfect match is going to be Oh, okay, yes Kaylen Weston. Y, That's exactly what I was to say. That's exactly what I was thinking The most nonsensical answer is the right answer Because you would feel with especially how things transpired this episode that are these two episodes that the two that should be a shew in would be Jimmy P and Allison right? Yeah in a different universe. Yeah,re they're the strongest company. JimS. Jimyes Blimmy as I call. strong the strongest couple But what does that even mean? Like they're just like is just he didn't cheat on her when he had the opportunity toither did cheat on him? So I was like I think they like I think Allison and J Barslow but other I think that them, I think Dave and Sophie could be a contender, but I actually like them so I know they won't win Mhhh. Oh yeah, Leson's going to swoop in like a cowboy on a white horse and take the win away. I Yeahp, you probably are not wrong becausecause this show does not know how to create a winner No what For one, everyone shouldn't be voting No Dan. Danny you get to vote. How do vote? here..' Sorry, Danny. Listen, Danny shouldn't get a vote actually like in real life either when he went a year and a half without washing his hair. I'm sorry that man wast you're right. That's disgusting. And why are you pulling that out as like a fun fact? As you're trying to get to know a girl Like I' kind of look awkward When do you think I last wash my hair All, she's like a month M Try longer L to flex. Guess how dirty I am It's like not sexually, just just hgene wise. Guess how dirty I like. I'm once again begging my fellow white people to clean your asses and your hair and just like please practice some basic hygiene because I am sick. of being lumped in with y'all. Because I wash myself and I think we should all just be washing ourselves including. Why why people so dirty this keep H Yeah, it's bright red. I do think he was trying to like, okay. let's say not I think. I hope He was trying to be technical because he did specifically say, I haven't shampooed my hair in a year and a half. Maybe he is a guy that co wasashes extensively. I think I do You're giving too much grace to Danny in this situation. No, I said hope, I hope that he is because you know, it is a thing like, you know, you can wash your hair with conditioner in between shampoos. Maybe he has just gone full throttle coash. Do you think He Is his real job a barber? He might have been a barber originally. So like he might know about hair, he might know all yeah, if that's the case Yeah, then he's definitely doing something He is not a year and a half. that's wild. But even if that's the case, right Stop saying stuff that gives the implication that you're dirty. We really get like it doesn't have to be the hygiene Olympics. It doesn't have to be fourteen soaps and body washes and lotions It's not you could just use regular sow Washcloth moisturize. It could be simple. It doesn't have to be complicated, but it has to exist. we can't stop acting like We just don't wash our hair. or or legs or any other part. whole thing, head to toe, clean is within every each twenty four hour period, at least one time This is an educational podcast. This has been a PSA. The more There are many on TikTok that can teach you how to shower properly if nobody taught you how. There's lots. Someone out there said legs You you actually like scrum? I our legs, ourur feet too I mean the stone legs down No No, no, no, get in there Bent down a little bit. down, stop being lazy et the scrub. Get it M you have to sit down, sit down. Sitting down in the shower is great. I like whoa Wh. Oh, I did see a TikTok of These friends were mimicking They were getting out of the shower and showing what they how they dry off And I saw that too mind Why are you starting at the bottom? Go with like if you're good, the water will drip, start at the top Anyway, and this is how you can tell we did not make love these episodes's perfect matters. becauseuse we've been talking for five minutes about shower etiquette. Yes. Well, okay, so we yes, we to start off this drop, we had the women's mixer and the men's mixer. So yes, we found out this riting information from Danny at the womomen's mixer. But I feel like the main storyline of the women's mixer was the fact that Allie in Hashim We're kissing. as well as Chris and Sophie So those two couples really hit it off. likeike Chris and Sophie even had their own little date kicking a soccer ball and stuff and talking about how he can pay her bills. I love this conversation of like Soophie's like, I want more than just someone with money do have to be able to finance my lifeif I want to like them as well as profit paying my bills. Standards. That's what we call standards. Exactly And Chris was like, lookook, I'm a flex a little bit. I don't have to work another day in my life I'id What is he How did he he this money? What is when he was young I don't believe him. What is it about? like I justt Well, it yeah, it's because of We've now this is our second show experiencing him. So it makes us think really, but he did Because someone he was recently asked on a podcast, I think. Yeahah on a podcast about the relationship he had at eighteen when he was eighteen and someone was forty eight or something like that. T star. Yes, the reality TV star. So he said when he was eighteen, he went into business with somebody that was on Survivor, who we know is I can't think of his name Um, he's a guy that I think we didn't we talk about it on age of attraction coverage, but Chris wanted to Rodney's friend. Rodney. Yes, yes, Y.. Yes. So he went into business with Rodney And One of Rodney's Like in Rodney's circle of people that he knew was that forty eight year old woman. And so I don't know what kind of businessama He was making a mama. No, he said it was he named a few shows. So he was trying to say like they're not specifically from Survivor I'm sorry His business partner is the man who drinks his own pea and I think is into the like getting the sunlight. whereere the sun's not supposed to shine situation And probably definitely heavy into the mananosphere stuff Yeah That's my question That's whyreek. Yeah. There's no way he has enough money that he never has to work again. That's Well, that's in So I that's why I was saying I say all that to say is like he went into business what if I was eighteen. I was eight years ago for him. I don't know what kind of businesses was. Did they sell the business? Was it just a like you know he's set up for a while or is it what he's actively doing now? Or does he just not understand how long money can actually stretch? You know? There's way too few details and the only details we have are very suspect. So I don't like it's not giving what it's supposed to give Well and he brought the Louis Vuitton wallet to give on the first night. So I'm like, if you are just giving gifts like that How much money do you have have a lot of money to actually do that. And I don't think that you can make that amount of money in six years in an ethical way and the fact that you have that amount of money, yet you are still here on Reity television L, what is it doing here What is the raer? For what? Like what like I feel like mostly people come to these shows. for money, like money related things We may just allers to doers Okay, like that's where he wants to stop. Yes. I don't understand the motivations. He's like, I don't need the brand deal What One day he might need the brand deal, and I've worry it won't be there for him What was he talking about when he tells Sophie I have four to wear in the house.as he talking about a watch? Hey it's my watches. Okay That's psychopath behavior. Like I understand you think you're like stunting with that with that statement, but why would you need to have four watches wear house? Like are you just changing changing watches a couple hours? Like what are you doing Some people are like watch people and they like to have a huge watch collection I think for someone like Chris, he's using it to project a certain level of wealth that he may or may not have but I didn't even clock what his watch was. like I don't What's he even wearing? Okay No glue Yeah. But yeah, so they seem to hit it off We even see when Sophie gets back to Dave, she's like, no one makes me feel like Dave. So Chris Chris Smish He's like, I'm not thinking about him. They dangle this bait in front of us. and like, ooh, look. Sophie's distracted over here. it's like, yeah actually never mind. Like they do this so often. it's just like, wow, look over here like, oh, you know what? actually not Well ye, it's like because really nothing happened from either of the mixers like at the men's mixer. they wouldn't even play spin the bottle these boring losers like I don't know Do y'all know why you are here like Do your job You're here to create mess. you're here to create drama We don't want to see you just sitting around doing nothing at the mixer. What we What are we doing here? Giving my book kisses on cheeks. Yeah, like come on, you're here for a reason. Do your job. I thought it was hilarious and Catherine was like, what is this Prude Island? Like what's going on? Dave said, look, I'm kissing everybody. So y'all could do what y'all want. Krirsten, would you be into Prude Island where they're just like they're just they're they're prouds. We're going to see how we can tempt these people. Maybe we get maybe we get the bombshells to come in and try and get the most prudish people to engage in some shenanigans. I mean, I think that was a thing it would already exist. I think that the key is trying to get horny people to act like prudes is a lot more compelling I e too odd to handle. But even then the best parts of the show are the rule breaks. I like I think you could cast me on Pude Island For sure And I would be good at being a prude But would it be good TV? No, it would not be good TV Yeah, I feel like with crrude Island, you have to focus on the personalities. likeike what what are they what are they giving? Like arere they just an entertaining person to watch You can't look at it as like a love show. I'd be the star of Pre Island actually. Put me on it. I mean, I feel it was just like it would just be like like you setit them in front of like, you know, maybe exotic dancers and just watch their face be like just watches are so just watches they get so uncomfortable as people are twirking in front of them and like taking off clothes. like I actually think This could be a very successful podcast of Like a too hot to handle rewatch podcast, but like with like the show on the screen with the like podcasters more like are like the podcasters' mothers our fathers like Wh Wh is this tongue? Why are their tongues like that? What are they doing? That doesn't look good This really wellar idea. Right U, u so yeah so Dave We learned that he had his first kiss in kindergarten and he's like Doesn't everybody Some kindergarten teacher in Australia needs to be put in jail immediately for allowingge. I think that probably a lot of young kids end up like experimenting with a little like Noah, like a smooch. I don't know if it would take kindergarten Yeah pl, I tried to kiss a boy and got ar in the bottle Now's been the bottle That's a little much. L spin the bottle is a little much. we're like having if we're supposed to having a nap timee instead we're Wait, whyy are you jumping to spin the bottle Thats he Dve just said he had his first kiss in kindergarten Well they said they playing sp the bott of kindergart What No. that's not I think that you cross They were playing spin the bottle when this confessional came up, but Dave was like, I have my first kiss in kindergarten Sword is. I Listen, if Dave got his firstro kid during spin the bottle in kindergarten, that's crazy. Maybe I don't even remember who said this last badge, but maybe whoever was like, I don't know what they do in Australia. Maybe they were right about that L G your first kiss in kindergarten during you spin the bottle and then you don't lose your virginity until you're twenty. That is he's an enigma. this is why I love watching Dave. He's an enigma.. So u Yeah, did y'all think that Jimmy S's resistance to kissing like The kiss is on the cheeks Okay. I think he I feel like in his mind, that's innocent. I'm still respecting boundaries But if y' significant others was just kissing multiple people on the cheeks, like, let's do I wouldn't want that. But our significant others are not the same as these significant others in this situation. Like I think with in the situation that Jimmy E is in, He had it was a good hedge for him to be like, all right, I want to be in the spirit of what we're doing here, but I also don't want to, you know, mess around on my match here. So I'll I'll give you the cheekiss. I think it was perfectly acceptable for him to do what he did here Well, and it seems like he and Allison like specifically spoke about what their boundaries would be So like if If this is what they agreed then fine, I guess. But like, why are you acting like you're married? This is perfect match. It has been approximately one week and you will you could win a vacation. Like can we please have some fun Yeah. Right exactly. They did tease us a little bit with Breee and Dave because they enjoyed their kiss they had so much during Sin the Bottle, or I think he just unpromptedly kissed her. And then they had a conversation where they were just kind of like having some banter. and he's like, you sound you said that and you sounded British. She was like, well, I'm Caribbean But it seemed like, hey, oh, is there something here but that grew no leg. the moment when He says he's been to Jamaica and she says she's never been. and he goes, I'm more Jamaican than you. I saw her get the ick. L I saw her leave her body because I know that was where Dave lost me as well. I was like what are you talking about He says a lot of things where he's just talking to talk He's just notking to talk And maybe he could try being quiet I mean, try being quiet. Proomis Dave, Dave was the only person that was really like participating in the answer of it all He's here to have fun But I think the main storyline, which we did get some a little bit of drama from this, was the fact that Be has finally made it into the house, right or in the proximity of the house and now is confronted with actually having a conversation with Demari And this conversation when they finally like hashed things out was so interesting because They clearly have you can see why like Demari said that they argued They got along like once every two weeks. because they are just not hearing each other or not listening to understand what the other is saying So there's always gonna be, you're always gonna be butting hs It seems like a recurring problem with Damari that he's unable to listen to one apart say denominator. notot taking people's feelings into account, not making people feel heard. you know, it's something that he's good at apparently. I felt like she was clearly articulating why it hurt her that he ended things after her grandmother passed, right? She's like, I brought your gifts from all these holidays. He's like, well, I broke up with you after your grandmother died because we still have the same issues them before that happened and I'm just like Okay, but you just l wait wait a week She's just so ridiculous. you did not hear how that made her feel whatsoever it' it was it's problematic that he gets into the same argument later on down the line with Barissa. Like, I don't know if it's something with Damari where he can't just like comeome on shows and I don't know, just have fun, but he's just like, how did you get into These are two arguments with people where suppos have been married for like twenty years. which just like what is it about you that you just are inspiring these arguments that you act like you've been in this relationship for so long. Like you're supposed to be here for like A short, good time It's because he I feel like he's one of those guys that or one of those people because there are women that can do this too where It's in a relationship, you're in the relationship with him And so it's he is always prioritizing his own needs, his own wants. and it's not like he can ever step outside himself to see, what can I do for this person Be for him to even say like, you were not emotionally available to me Well, she was going through a very tough time in her life where she just, she probably just needed you more than oh, being able to cater to you at like she did and I'm sure in other parts of the relationship, whenever he enjoyed that So it's like It was all about how he felt through all of that And that was the most important thing to him in ending things Yes, and It feels like when it comes to conversation, it's very important to Damari to win the conversation. And so He's it seems like he's unable to Like accept that Someone's feelings are hurt and maybe he caused hurt feelings, maybe he didn't, but also you can cause her feelings without ever intending to hurt someone's feelings And you have to be able to step outside of them and be like, I'm so sorry that you're feeling this way and I understand Like how the way I communicated could make you feel that way and like let's move forward in a productive manner. But it doesn't seem like he ever gets to the productive manner because he just wants everyone to be using perfect logic at all times But the joke is he's not using perfect logic. He's also driven by his emotions. He just thinks his emotions are logical and everyone else's aren't So annoying Like don't get mad at her for taking things to podcast or posting about it on the internet when you're the one that broke up with her. Like it'd be different if y'all tried to work things out and then that y'all came to like a mutual understanding that this just wasn't a good fit But you ended things on terms that she was not fine with So let her go vent wherever she wants to go vent. Y'all met on a reality show. You can't think all of a sudden now. that Big breakup because you've been together since the show would not be something that would be peopleeople in the public wouldn't want the details of. So I don't blame her for going to event wherever she wants to He's just mad, he doesn't have anything to properly vent about It it just like D Mari talks talks a big game about relationships and how, you know, he really wants one and he really wants to find that person. But then when the slightest slightest bump comes along in that relationship. It's he catastrophizes it. It's like, oh my God, like you are arguing with me. How we can't never argue. You can't never have an argument in a relationship. like, well, that's like something Yeah we argue I'm done. Okaykay, that you don't know conflict management. You don't know how to be in a relationship like because that's a part of it. Guess what? Like, you know, there are going to be times where you want to have hurt feelings. youre going to have arguments and he acts like its the end of the world when some has a has a hyper emotion or talks passionately or you know God forbid interrupts at any given time. Yeah. He did also show interest in Kayla and also said that he liked Cassie Oh We did get a little sidebar of Cassie venting to Jimmy P because it was like he he broke things off with her the day before as if he wasn't going to see her again. She's like, wait a second. You had me feeling like you were going to match with me Yeah. she's like, please give me the clarity on the situation because I really feel let on U a conversation to Marie can never exactly. He would have been shaking his boots. Oh my god. But and this is why I love Cassie because she will just As the question, have the conflict. And I think she's probably grown a lot since she was constantly blocking and unblocking her ex on Instagram Jason, what were you going to say about Kayla and DMari you look like you're No, you look like you're about to say something I was not But I don't want you to feel silenced like Demari fs in conversations. so Um No, I wasn't going to say anything about it. I'm trying to I'm really trying to remember Okayn D Mari like, mixer interactions. I don't There were just conversations like o and then conversations about their conversations because they're like, you really go back and forth really well. That's this whole show. Yeah. like, o you I hung out all day But they said nothing about anything to each other. like, o we get along so well. I's like, okay, sure. if you say so Yeah U so after both mixers, it was, you know, everybody had to come back without the singles and kind of understand what happened at the mixers, right? So Allison and Jimy Yes, fine. They respected each other, they didn't do anything. But Dave and Sophie was funny because Dave was like, look, these are the people I kissed. I'll name them off to you And so if he's like, okay, well I kiss Chris And they were fine. That's That's the best way to tackle this. right? We We've seen many different strategies over the seasons about what is the etiquette of coming back from the mixer Do you try to convince everyone else that you were at the mixing with to be quiet and don't tell them what you did? Do you comment at it from an honest perspective? likeike List, this is what we' I mean, maybe they probably had a conversation beforehand of like, listen, we're here to explore, we're gonna to have fun We'll just do that and be cool with it. And they came back. we're like, Hey, we had fun. That's what we said we're going to do. Bom, we're good. So they came at it with the best strategy you can Yeah. I loved when she's like making fun of how Chris kissed her and then there's like does it to him It was that after the kissing challenge? I don't I can't remember. I feel like it wass in this moment. And made laugh The night the night they came back from the from the micters they're going to bed I think and that's when she was like, messs about it Yeah. Natalie and Yaman, who we've heard very little from so far, came back and were like, Oh, we didn't do anything. We're like, oh yeah, I forgot y'all were there. I saw Natalie and I was like, oh my Godd, I forgot Natalie existed. Ig she was here D didn't say to be such a hot commodity too to For like there were multiple other guys who were interested in her and now she's like so locked in with Yayman Did ten words? Did she say ten words in these two episodes? I don't think she did. I don't think she was there for a full cumulative minute truly of airtime. I do need to take this opportunity to apologize to Yeaman because I slandered him last week. He has been on another love show since Perfect Match where he did meet his current girlfriend is a black woman. so I apologize for Being behind the times on the discourse, I totally forgot that he went on Love Island UK And I'm even more behind than you because I just keep up with these people through social media. likeike I don't actively watch the shows. like mostly li Iol loveve in the UK. I didn't even realize she wasn't with the guy. that she met on the other loveove Island anymore. Like the guy that was like cooking for her all the time, like they always posted those TikToks Was that like a bad breakup or something that happened I have no clue of the quality of the breakup. All I know is that her ex and I don't know if it's that ex or a different ex is now dating Brie in real life. So so that's who Brie is dating I know like Bree, I think has been really good about not exposing her relationship 'cause I'm sure they're under contract with Perfect Match. but I think it got like leaked by a Love Island blogger or something. Oh, I see. Iuring this drama. please in the comments on YouTube, please correct me No, that is him. I just looked at up that the guy that Jemman's current girlfriend is with is now with Bree. That's wild I didn't know they broke up. So But I also have just never seen an episode of Love Island UK, but that's wild But yeah, Yeamman publicly post like after we podcast the last week went and look, Yeamman publicly posts with her as if he's not on perfect match actually because he filmed Love Island after he filmed perfect match. So like everyone watch the relationship form on TV? What's he supposed to do Yeah? Well the problem is Netflix's release schedule needs to speed up Why is there a year in between. what was interfering with all the stuff that drops on Netflix? What was interfering with Perfect Matt dropping in like November That would have been so nice? Yeah, It's not like it's CBS where you have something at the eight o'clock time slot where you can't interfere Like it's streaming Uh so that's yeah, that's the reason we get, you know, spoiled and stuff Um, so anywho R Marissa does admit that she kissed Weston during like the Marissa is so interesting because she's like At the mix she's like, Ohh my Godd, I came with my kiss Weston. Damari's gonna be so bad. It almost feels like she wants a reaction from Damari She wants to she wants to know that he cares and like he doesn't want to lose her. L she's looking for that yearning from him to her And I think she's kind of bum, she doesn't get It's like she tells him about. he's like, wow, like that's that's disappointing But okay Like's like thiss like no huge outsize reaction. I feel like Merca really wanted some outsize reaction to like to to make her feel like he values her Like a declaration of love or something. Not like love, but like J just something to really show. I think out of maybe love, hning versus like maybe that's what she was looking for I did see a TikTok that Brie filmed, I sent it to you guys with a podcast, Listeners M not know, whereere Breee's like, Well, if I had known that Marissa was terrorizing that man, like we could have done it together. L that's so funny. She was terrorizing him the whole time. She said we could We could have friend. Yeah U it's so let's see. Oh So during the women's mix era, Ali and Hashim were kissing and stuff. they really hit it off So when Allie comes back and has to tell Jimmy This is after they have slept together. Yeah And like that was like it was such a thing that even Sophie told Dave like, o last night, this happened and then now she kiss in Hashim and so They've also already had a conversation in the last drop that they wanted us to be exclusive She wanted to be exclusive. She wanted to be exclusive. She never agreed with that. Now he was just he didn't say anything. He just was silent. He was like, oh, oh yeah, want be you want to be exclusive Oh. interestnteresting. Like o, okay. So she took that to mean I guess I can just do whatever I want. And now Jimmy's got a problem Yeah So we did get a compatibility challenge, which I thought Hey, I feel like this is one of the better little things they've done where I was actually like, okay, that was a cute way to introduce it. They made it seem as if they were going to get these mysterious things dropped on them. out of these buckets But when they all go in place and they drop they pull the string and the buckets flip over, it's actually the blindfolds and the headphones for the kissing challenge It was It was so poorly done. like it it was poorly introduced because they they're trying to sell to us the audience as well But they're not explaining anything about what this fake challenge would be They're just like, you're literally just going sit in these buckets and something gross is going gonna to fall on you. So how would they win the challenge? What the details of the challenge? I thought it was whoever could stay the longest with that with the mysterious Whatever Let'esss like just say it's the kissing challenge. what like we really have so little to show that you have to use ten minutes setting up this challenge It was it was I liked it because I was they because they legit were ready for whatever this was about to be. And then it was like, no, it's just the kissing challenge that youall probably suspected anyway It was way too much setup. The setup was was so long and tedious Listen, we are so hard on this show that I want to give them props when they can find actually get props. And I've personally given them props for this fakeout. I thought it was cute. I What I loved was that they gave the the singles with the three highest scores got to come into the villa I thought yes, that was a nice tw fun twist Um Listen, I've watched so many hours of people blindfolded, wearing noise canceling headphones kissing each other at this point that I just like it means nothing to me. The only really notable moment was Chris being so fucking weird Yeah. He was like he was like, I wantna kiss not only your lips, but just all over you. And I just loved B in her conffessional like, this does absolutely nothing for me understand like if you're having a makeout session with someone and you're both like fully present and can see and touch each other, Do a forehead kiss, kiss the neck, like get creative folded with headphones on,. you can't even find each other in this. Like, please He wass probably kissing someone's eye and like let me get an eyebrow. You have. That was a lot. It was troubling. Yeah. but they like sped through this. L it was like, all right, round four ' you can't even really tell who's kissing who anyway. No. But the biggest thing coming out of it is these ratings. And I loved how they did not waste our time and go through every single person and be like, y'all rated each other at tenend, y'all rated So we find out all of the original couples raed each other ten, except for one person, which was Jimmy Pee didid not rate Alotin. He wre there like eight point something Apint something's crazy because you definitely know it's her some sort of signal. Like everyone came up with a signal and tell them that this I think you just you've kissed someone before I would like to kiss them again. But honestly actually I know Jason hasn't seen this. Asa, have you seen this Michael guuy on TikTok who does identifies all the drinks? Yes I talked about it Yes. like Sometimes you just cannot like he can't even tell what the flavor of something is without seeing or like knowing the color. Like he'll be like Oh, yeah, that's green whatever. when it's like, it's fruit punch, dude. U And so maybe when you are blindfolded in headphones, you can't always tell that it's your person. But Be and Damari definitely knew They were each other. Like that was a we're not going to get a chance to do this again and this is a trip down in Marie Lane and Yeah. But I feel like I feel like we've had this issue in the past though where people have not known it was their person and they rated them poorly. But the fact that every couple rated their person att tenend maybe think like We don't s like let's all set up a system and Jimmy P did not get the message at all. I think they need to not allow them to use hands. I think you run the like using hands, youn you can you can feel hair, you can feel facial like you Every single person knew when they were kissing Weston But that's, I mean, that's what his mus says But I feel like with the hair with the women, I feel like the guys, that's why I was so shocked by Jimmy P, like if you know her hair likeike you're going to brush it or touch it while you're kissing Like they need to have their hands tied behind their back Well, but then how are what the producer has to push them together now Yeah. what are you doing? Yes No, actually it should be Nick Nic cle, every person So yes, I love the twist that the three singles at the highest score came in. so Weston The highest score with Marissa Hashim got the highest score with Natalie And then Kayla got the highest scward D Mari I kind of wish that whoever you got the highest score with was the person you had to take on a date. likeike you couldn't you had to go on the date with them, which is what I thought they were doing at first But then they were like, oh, you have to pick your date, which I thought would been interesting to see like, all right, let's test our compatibility measurement to see how you do on a date I Yeah, that would have been better Jason on production, man. Yeah Uh, so we did get to see, um, The three dates U where Weston took Marissa, Kayla took Demari and Hashim took Allie And so I thought it was funny, like right before the date, West and Marissa are talking and he's like, all right Well, we got honey, we got darling, we got baby girl. like, what do you wantan to go with? She's like, I like honey I thought that was funny Sarah call Sarah calls me, honey cute What's your what's your your pet name you receive? person. I feel like we were a babe household M. What about you, Jason idiot is my usually what I receive U Iidiot Dummy Get over here, idiot, know me me He hey, dummy hey idiot. No, but we're I think we're majority babe households Mm There' nothing crazy. Nothing crazy over I usually I usually try to annoy my wife as much as possible with terrible pet names based off name She hates being like called any variation of her name. so I do that every day Y'sa life goes. No wonder she's calling you an idiot It's a term of endearment. It really is U, so nothing really toooo exciting on these dates U Except I think with Marissa and Weston, she've got a deeper level of conversation than she usually gets out of Demari. So she was intrigued by that It seem like he actually wanted to talk Right, yeah. like you can have a conversation. there was just like this moment of like because she's like, you know, I have a fear of failure. He's like, is it a fear of failure or fear of people are you people seeing you fail? I was like, o L that's actually like, that might be the most insightful thing anyone's ever said on this show, period And she was blown away by that. She was like She Wow. I've never had a conversation like this with anybody ever But that's I mean, that's real That's real. Like it, I mean, and I think that can that could be tied back to enograms Yeah, I mean, listen, if this relationship don't work out, you could have very at least be my life coach You'll listen to him talking a podcast. Another man with a podcast might Oh my God, get them off the microphone. I've had enough All right, I'm going see you. Chase the exceptions. right. Did y'all get any real chemistry from Hishim and Ali Con, Miss Con, I have a question Oh my God no. U haveT Eam in action Does this man have any semblance of personersality, a sense of humor, just anything because I I can get nothing from this man. like It's blank slate. ld to ask me if I have any perception of this man.m because I don't remember him. So I think no I think he's just hot and probably good at kissing. Yeah, like how did you end up in this world? If you have like Nothing to offer in terms of anything he's kind of like this the Android that is like filled with us the most like Sensical statements. I'm like, hey, you kiss good. Like I so Um I just I don't know He was they had the massage date, right? It looks like he gives a good massage. So at least he has a marketable skill And to be paired with Alli who is such like this like ball of energy and he's just kind of There Like's that's how I describe him. He's there Yeah And I mean, I feel like he's try he's trying to do these like pick upp like pick up lines like, Hey, I can kiss you without touching your lips. And he just does it. He's like, o, I failed. She's like, o, that's so funny so strange. Yeah, it' it was really giving nothing. I was not really sensing a real chemistry. I think the I think that Ali is very enamored with being with a man who's like big and makes her feel small and like can pick her up and carry her around, maybe throw her around in some context. It's like I think that's all that's there Yeah U then with Demari and Kayla, they get they they had this date where they had like what chip squac and oysters and They're just like They're having this like I guess good banter or he he was he really likes her confidence. He really likes her eye contact I mean, I think they both just genuinely think the oth is attractive. And it seems like they're riding this line of Is this something that we could pursue, but we know there's like The Marissa on his shoulder like Come back to me might actually be over his shoulder. She might have actually like sp day with Weston and went over to wherever they were at youre like, donon't you dare do because she like warns him before the day like, don't get tooouch you feeleilyly like I Yeah Right thing like we do our banter is so cute. We just pretend that we're jealous of each other and it's like pretty yeah. It' like, are you okay No, you're right. Spoiler, she's not Yeah. we don't see too much of Allison and Jimmy S But we did get like a little in between shot of him beatboxing on her legs He's like, y'all, she's my eight to weight. Y'oall, she's my eight to weight. I don't. I choose to not perceive that. Why did you remind me of that We've done disservice to our listeners So so there was that. So all the couples come back and so it's finally time to test what's gonna to happen to see what matches we end up with the rest of with for the rest of the night A So a couple of them were pretty easy Like Dave and Sophie they weren't They weren't tempted by other people. Dave's actually intrigued that he's only focused on Sophie, so that's what kind of is likeike, hey, maybe she is my perfect match because I only want her out of Isn't he thirty seven years old? likeike yeah, what is he really? Yeah? He's the oldest one of this group. How is Weston? Weston I get the vibes off Weston but he's like this forty something year old man that's here with these like babies. Like I'm like what do you here man? I think He's in his thirties for sure, but how far he thirty two illy Oh gosh. Younger than two thirds of this podcast. No no, two thirds of this podcast. Th U Listen, I'm not a mathemagician W With Dave, is the fact that he's so enamored with Sophie or is he reading The te leaves, I'm like, there's no movement really here Like I I'm fine with what I got. likeike I'm not even going to Try anything else Yeah, I think he's good with Sophie because now he's seen the whole cast and he's like,, I'll go with her He's kissed everyone. She's probably added to him Yeah Yeah, he's like, I'm fine kissing her and Dillian. Well because we what we have like three, two T days left until most. Yeah. because there was a certain point. I did catch the three days left U So Dave and Sophie are easy Jimmy S and Allison, of course, are a give in that they are going to match up. as well as Natalie and Yeaman. so much so they didn't even get their own little match segment. We just saw them go to bed. Yeah, well they no, they did because she was like, they were just sitting there' like, Hey you want you want to match? It was like, Yeah, let'satch. They they did the whole thing. It was like, but it was nothing. Like those three couples were just like, all right Gibbvenons, let's just move with and move on to to our main events here. Yes, exactly U, so We kind of we we get one main storyline that kind of helps shape and the others, two or the others is the whole Marissa Demari of it all, right? Like these two cannot get on the same page and you know, Marissa comes back and is like, wait a second, why is Demari needing more time to figure out if he wants to pursue Klo because I'm coming back from my dayate with Weston and I know that I want to continue with Demari And it's this situation where they just canannot getet on the same page in this conversation But Demari is so stuck on the fact that he says that she always interrupts him And so she stops herself from interrupting him She says one word. She's like, Ohh, I stop myself I actively stop myself. He's like, no It's the principal. you still attempted to. because she's like, it's hard for her with her ADHC And so she kind of goes around and' like How do I approach this with him? because I have ADHD And I just I'm not trying to interrupt him on purpose. I'm not trying to disrespect him, but he's taking it as she doesn't respect me. No. Is Damaria a neurotypical person? Like I'm just not used to interacting with neurotypical people. So I'm like, oh, is that what it's like? because Whoa, just what a total lack of understanding. Well, and here's a here's the thing, right? Is it is the fact that He's maybe not as into this relationship as he once was however many days ago and he's now really looking for kind of that way out. Is he looking for is he picking the nits of like how can I make this her fault? How can I make it her issue that I need to get out of the relationship? And I thought that this was his way of taking an easy on ramp of being like, you're disrespecting me. I can't do this anymore. But he proceeds to then like pout the rest of the night Y was like the love of his life and he's, you know, they're now on the on the verge of breaking up. so much so he's not even taking the time to try and talk to Kayla to like his possible other match. I'm like so you you really acting like this was like a five year relationship that you are now just like that is now a sinking ship. Y'all met a week ago, like. It's so bizarre to me. Like they're acting as if they've been in a relationship for years at this mom. Yeah. And I'm like and that he's like having no grace for the fact that she's trying to accommodate his need in the situation of not being interrupted because it's not that she's trying to disrespect him by interrupting. I think that she is just being a very listener so like he's saying something she want to respond to, shes responds in that moment. And so then he's taking it this a sign of ultimate disrespect. and it like this conflict shapes the rest of their evening because he he in his mind is thinking, okay, I still have Marissa or Kayla. And when he finally goes to talk to Kayla, Kayla's like, Ohh, absolutely not. I person. I was so. I said, yes, Kayla, No wor. it. She dropped to the top of my list of people that I like in this show. like, yeah,, thank you. St up for yourself,. Do not take these man's breadcrumbs of like Well, I guess I guess you're it then, right? Like other night of like, all right, well, I'm not down. I'm not with the ones. me and you, right? Like No. the way that the way that she saw him acting that night, the fact that that was like it for her, like no, like I've you acting like a baby, you're acting like a little child right here. I'm not for it. I was like, yes, than you I clapped. I like, thank you so much too. And I like also in the midst of all this like Marissa doesn't really do a good job of like trying to get Weston on more because like she doesn't want Weston. She just wants some Mace. like, meananwhile, all this is happening. Weston and Kayla are like, hey I like you. We're having good conversations. I feel like neither of us want to be someone's second choice. So like What if we just gave it a try? and like Well, so you're still both somebody's second choice each other But that's fine, you know, what But these are more fun more theseese are more fun second choices because these other first choices are bummers. because's like's like it's like you're on vacation with a divorced couple and they're like rehashing all their old stuff's like Wow, like this is this is crazy. whyy don't we get together? That would be crazy around I know we came here with they are people, but they're acting crazy. So l' me and you, w me and you link up. that was that was fun And that answered our question from last time about like, can the singles just go ahead and get together? Because that's what I was thinking was like, oh, Chris and Kayla, this is y'all's time to shine, but Chris then come back in. And then it just seems enough her to come back Yeah. It seems like that, okay, that's that ship has sailed because now Kayla has moved on. and yeah, she matches with Weston. So it was like, all right, cool. Yeah. I'm okay with that. Like as as Marissa and Demari are like just imploding like And Ma Mera's just like You know, like she she comes back to like, actually, you know what? I do need a lot of grace. Like I am I have severeityDHD, like so I'm going to need a lot of grace. And like I'm on board I'm on board with Marissa, right? I'm, okay, I'm following, Marissa But then she starts getting like she starts getting a little she's like, actually, I don want need you just not ever be upset? Like Im. donon't be upset I don't know if that's the way you want to go about them. The conversation is so absurd And like don't love the way either of them are acting. But then now watching the people watching this show act as if Marissa is like the devil incarnate when we have seen actual like horrible people on these shows. and I'm like, no I stand ten toes down from meight. Do do I think Coming on this show particularly was a good idea for Marissa. Not at all. Not at all. This was not the show for her to come on. if she first of all has all these, you know, all these issues And we saw her on Lo as bllinds. Like we know Uomis is She falls hard, she falls fast. It like this is a show you want to come on when you have temperament in a relationship. It's good for us because we get to see the drama, the implosion, but like For your well being I think maybe we can stay away this from this show Exactly. Like it's just every time they talk, it feels so toxic and it's like, this is not what you want And I think Marissa feels that. like even through her professional, she's like I have been in past relationships where I have felt like I've been made to feel smaller and I'm feeling that in this. I was wondering if like I'm wondering if she's talking about No in that her last relationship. But I was I was trying the gu she was very serious with to break. I was just trying to think from a production standpoint, are they trying to make us think that that was like if they're trying to make us follow the linear story like doill they want to think she's talking about Ramsys in that in that moment or another just some other relationships I was wondering. Yeah. Well yeah, in real time, it's that other guy. So So yeah. so but then of course, just like last time, it's do wantna match Yeah,ike' snow. Like, don't do that. L They should both leave They It almost felt like production was like we said there were going to be six couples. there will be six couples ending this night. So whether you like it or not, you're going to be matching tonight. And they're just like, all right, fine. do you want to match? Yeah, okay, let's match. And then they get in the room it' like, you know what actually I'll leave row Right, I was, what was the point of Yeah're held here. they're held captive. Like Nicoe Nicoe said there would be six couples. So there's gonna to be six couples. Okaykay, y'all are not allowed to leave. L that's it Yeah But we saw the opposite happen with Allie and Jimmy P because Allie strung Jimmy P along the rest of the night Wh whileile she snuck away to make out with Hashim And then finally, when she's talking to Jimmy P again, he's like, lookook, I want to do this. And Hyishim comes over to steal her and she's like, okay He's like, okay, I'm leaving because it's like she snuck around As if she didn't do it in front of his face multiple times. Yes is likeike there are so many frames with her kissing she in the front and Jimmy P in the background just looking like he wants to die. And she's like Okay, I'll come back and talk to you after. And Jimmy P iss like, I'm done. What are we doing here? You are wasting my time. Like What is going on? It's not like the ultimate like karma for Jimmy P of like, you messed around. You thought you were going to play the field. You didn't want you didn't want to be exclusive And now look where you are Like look what happenens? Like Well she brought that up 'causeuse he was like, 'causeuse she was like he's like, I didn't kiss anybody at the mixer. She's like, but Like but you literally kissed someone yesterday. So like the big deal, youre to kiss someone in the mixer, probably becausecause no one wanted to kiss you. Like you make this big deal out of like, Oh I didn't kiss anyone? probablyably because no one want to kiss you JBP was like Yeah, a big hero, but I didn't kase anybody. Good job Yeah Yeah, this whole thing time' been like, Oh I don't want to be an exclusive. I want to be open. I want to like, but no one, no one else wanted you though. And now someone else wants Allie and now it's a problem for you because now you are You are the person without a chair in the game of dating musical chairs, just Yeah So he leaves and then H sham and Allie Make out in the exact spot that like It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life because I was like, oh, she seems upset that Jimmy P is leaving. Was she actually gonna pick Jimmy P after after all that? Like what? Listen You get the confessionals from theem and' like By I'm not used to losing. I've never had to fight for a girl before, but I've also never lost on getting a girl. Because you have so much riz 'cause you have so much personality and charisma and charm. I was like, o man. flips back and they're making out, but Jimmy's not even out of the frreaking house. He like looks back. I think he thought, oh if I leave she'll ask me not to go He looks back like, oh, is she gonna ask? Is she gonna ask makeaking out Hung in another man's thrroone. It' Well, and Allie was obviously very like inebriated then the whole night. Shes She's crying to everybody like, I don't know what like I know she's a five year old. I don't know what to do. I don't know. And I love just a back and forth And like I love when she's like on Jimmy's lap. Hashim is like, I'm taking my woman It's like Hey guys, like can I I sneak in here and Jimmy's like, give just give me a second man G me like two minutes, Give me five minutes, okay? He's like, all right, all right, And they're like, actually no. Like kind can I talk to her? And it's Jimmy makes the big proclamation. All right, all right, you know, I'm out here. I'm gone. And you can just see like he takes five steps. He looks back. like you're not going stop me I'ope. She's good. I got to come running to me because you help her make the decision Yeah. That's definitely what he thought was going to happen. of like you you're not you're not going to like trace me like No. I m make it out with this hot This hot guy over here. So no, you go do whatever you got to do But I think So we end up with a Hashim and Ally Matching and then Marissa and Demari. So we have six couples. We know the six couples are heading into the finale. We got some preview, some little sound bites. So it seems like it could be interesting unless they just over edited it to be like Yeah, at So do we think Mer is actually actually leaving next episode? it seems like Bri and DMari are on a date. You know, for the next episode at some point. M. I don't can know Yeah that I feel like they're just gonna find one more opportunity to bring back in the singles They made it seem like Bri and DZamari were like going to get back together like in this batch too, and then it ended up they were actually having a horrible fight. So I don't have any peith in the preview. Yeah So that's our episodes six and seven. We will be back next week to talk about episode eight, which is the finale.
