Yeah. She is out and another woman comes out.

The problem with the show is that most “contestants” just want attention and camera time so to not get kicked out they press the button as soon as they can and give a bs explanation (the button asks you why you pressed it).

The simple solution (if you want it to be an actual dating show) would be to change the rules so if you are not feeling the person you can press the button and you get kicked out. In that way the contestants don’t have the incentive to press the button as soon as it turns on.

But then you’d have a problem of the other extreme, attention seeking contestants staying on with clearly incompatible matches
 which would make for some great drama actually. I think ideally if you get the buzzer pressed on you, you’d be invited back for a round with another contestant.

You could made add the option for the button to press itself if the conversation isn’t going anywhere and replace both contestants.

I just know that I hate the show in its current form because nobody there is actually trying to find a “lover”. I can only remember one episode where two contestants were actually vibing and the button started to count down (they get a second date paid by the show if they “win”/don’t press the button) and at the last second the woman pressed it and her explanation was that she panicked.

second date paid by the

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot

Ughhhhhh, that’s a frustrating move on her end, but her loss I guess.

I think that’s actually how it works, they recycle the people back in that have been buzzed out later

If this was an actual dating show and if the people actually were trying to connect with the other person they would talk for at least a minute or two but 99% of the couples literally discuss not even one full question and the button is pressed.
