Yeah No August 30 Share August 30 7 hours ago, Retired at last said: I am wondering if the results of the next season, which is already completed, weren't any better than the last few and they are not sure they want to release it? It's been really quiet as far as leaks or spoilers, which, you're right @kikicat, it doesn't bode well. I read that they've got 2 seasons in the can waiting to be shown so I wonder about the results of the 2nd one too. What if they're both trainwrecks? People online are theorizing that they're editing both seasons to remove anything too scandalous and unsavory. So if and when they finally release them they will likely suffer from looking disjointed, boring, dull and not believable. Way to go, idiots! 2 Link to comment

Perhaps they would be more willing to consider marriage and being more serious with a partner if he dated women closer to his age? 4 Link to comment
Lindz September 18 Share September 18 Cheating? Couple-swap?!!! WHAT?!!! Can't say I'm surprised about the cheating, now I'll be trying to figure out who. Guess it was inevitable since they all meet practically right after their weddings. But rewarding it by allowing them to swap? I disagree with that. I can't see both spouse simultaneously cheating with other spouse unless... Ew. Link to comment

This sounds fantastic! But “I’m Here for the Wrong Reasons”TM The Bachelor. The concept of “couple swapping” likely has a different meaning in this context than it does in, say, that Mormon Moms show on Hulu in which they literally swapped spouses at swingers parties. Here with all of these strangers paired up but spending time together as a group, it was bound to happen that a husband/wife of different couples would feel like they’re better suited for each other and should have been matched up. I swear that within the last few seasons the preview had a husband/wife of different couples kissing each other at some group event—but then it was never shown on the show, as far as I can recall. Does anyone else remember that or am I just making it up?? It could have been from a post-decision day event that I didn’t see, but it was shown all season like it was a part of “the journey.” 2 Link to comment

Most of the guys who come on the show are coming on for the money (probably $25-$30K for the guys, probably less for the women because they probably have more female applicants than male applicants) and do not give an F about the marriage itself. Also, this is a reality show so they like to have a couple of trainwrecks for the drama. The problem is that the last seasons have been so bad because we have couples that are going to be failures right out of the gate and do not even get the build-up to be a trainwreck. 4 Link to comment

I was OK with the show when they had a couple of trainwrecks and failures right out of the gate for the drama. Now it's all trainwrecks/failures. And now nobody is sincere about finding a relationship. At least in the earlier seasons a few of the couples were there sincerely to find someone, now it's like none of them are. Like a lot of reality shows this one has just slid further and further into fake and depressing garbage. These days I need to see something uplifting. If I want to see depressing garbage I can watch TV news, I don't need to add to it by watching this crap. 3 Link to comment

So tired of the quitters wasting screentime. 😒 The problem is that they don't pick any decent people anymore. I think back to some of the successful couples on this show and pretty much all of them were decent, humble, honest, hardworking people. Is that so hard to find anymore? I don't think so. I think they deliberately pick the worst possible participants now because unfortunately they think it draws in a wider audience. It's like the crowd that forms to watch a trainwreck or a car accident. Maybe that's true but in the process they've thrown out any semblance of sincere matching. And for me that's dishonest and counter to their supposed original mission. I don't see why they couldn't have left it the way it was up until the New Orleans season. I felt that after that is when the wheels really came off the bus on this show. Even when they were more sincere about matching they mostly picked better examples of humanity. Of course there were big exceptions like Ryan DeNino, Basement Ryan, Chris and that Basketball player, etc. But at least there were better examples chosen alongside them. The better examples may not have worked out either but as you say it's difficult to match people like this, so I never expected that many to work out. But at least they didn't work out honestly, not because they were deliberately destined not to work out. Now it's obvious that they pick them to fail right from the start. I was a die-hard fan of this show. I was in it even if couples didn't work out. It fascinated me to see how things could go in such a situation and there was always the hope that one or some of the couples might genuinely last. But they crossed a line with me when they started picking such bad examples of humanity to the exclusion of better people. I just don't need to watch people like that or a show that deliberately picks most or even all the couples to fail. Life's depressing enough without watching a show that's guaranteed to be a downer. 2 1 Link to comment
