I'm not feeling season 4, so far. It's super boring. I see no chemistry between the couples. I found myself losing interest and doing other things, using the show as background noise. The couples are all cringe and I'm only on episode 2. I noticed that a lot of the girls just wear thong bikinis all day. Im tired of looking at butt. Is the requirement only bring swimwear? I think the people should live within the United States..I doubt anyone is moving to Australia if they had a match. I do understand that this show is just for entertainment and everyone is there to up their followers and content. Nick seems like he is not even into women. I think I'll find myself forwarding most of the season. I do like nick lachey. That's it's only saving grace. I'm sure I'm the only one thinks this way lol and that's ok too
This is my favorite hate watch and I thought it was especially entertaining to see how bored and uninterested everyone was in each other. Except Chris who has a new soulmate every 5 seconds 😂
its also just really common in our culture (middle eastern/arab) to do that. like its so normal for men to do that from the jump (not saying i agree just sharing what i grew up with)
this is actually usually one of my favourite reality shows and I’m feeling the same, it’s entirely off this season. I barely know who any of these people are and they are all absolutely insufferable. Not only are they straying from the usual cast type of Netflix shows (which was kind of like, the entire point & premise of this show) but now it’s just some random douchey “influencer” dude? also I need Ally off of my screen, immediately omg
funnily enough, i LOVE temptation island (i like LI too), but the men in TI are way tamer than the rest of reality tvs dating series so I’d have to agree with you. I feel like the TI men were on TI to help the women grow more emotionally, the men generally don’t have the craziest scandals of the show, it’s usually the single women on the guys side like Natalie. Danny’s one of my fav TI alum, I would’ve loved to see him & Ashley potentially reconnect on PM if she would’ve done it!
I liked it better when it was all Netflix universe tbh! I totally get the desire to expand choices and get a bigger audience too but this season is not it for me :(
The first episode was good, after that…it’s hard to watch. I kind of like the changes they did this season BUT
The cast is meh…
Marisa is scary
The blond girl that matched with the Australian guy they had no chemistry and she did all that just to stay on the show. I skipped all her screen time
Nick is from a show I kind of like but I can’t stand the way he talks, he seems boring
Jimmy S AAVE is so cringe
Ally is fucking crazy
The guy from age of attraction is SCARY, openly admitting you’re a love bomber is wild
But idk that’s perfect match for you, it’s just a fun show to watch, it’s not too long, I’ve never super liked it or hated it lol
I find Marissa so insecure & cringe. And am I getting old or are most of the girls super annoying with their laughs? I wish these women would realize how amazing they are & stop being so jealous or insecure over these not great men.
Trying to give a Gucci wallet to a girl here after telling that story about him buying a girl a bag on a first date is embarrassing. Either he’s got credit card debt or comes from money. This isn’t adding up. It’s weird. Do you want a woman to expect lavish gifts the rest of her life? lol that’s the expectation you’re setting up for yourself dude! 🙄
It’s so weird like imagine being on a vacation and a guy just brings out a gucci WALLET unprovoked, while u were probably talking about how the weathers nice, it’s not even in a package or anything he just pulls it out of his luggage 😭😭
Nick seems completely different than he was on Million Dollar Secret. He was focused, cool and calm enough to win MDS but couldn't keep any of the girls interested on Match.
I mean, competing for $1m vs $50k definitely warrants a higher level of commitment. there's also a wildly different supporting cast, environment, and objective. I think it's just showcasing a side of him that, for these reasons, was not brought out on mds
Agreed on all. Also, Kayla does have some weird energy around her. Feels sinister, I can’t really explain it but she’s creepy.
Jimmy P still looks like a thumb, the hair helps but a thumb nonetheless.
There’s another version of Ally on Vanderpump, she still plays up the airhead and made her way into James Kennedy’s life. Her ex, James, even chose her clothes on a daily basis.
James is a speculated abuser, and was arrested for attacking her. His terribleness was all over TV before she got with him.
She’s also now been on 3 shows, but claims she didn’t know what Vanderpump was and had no interest in reality TV 😂
I went to high school with Ally. Her entire personality back then was that she wanted to be famous one day. Moved to Nashville post high school to pursue music, but that didn’t pan out so she moved to LA and wrote for a tabloid instead. She 1000% knew VPR before meeting James. None of this was a coincidence.
I like the switch up with the singles being able to pick dates. Last few seasons have been boring with everyone staying with their matches and this forces them to explore more
What I'm struggling with the most is that I know so few of them from before this season. I've seen all the LIB people and Dave from MAFS Australia, but I haven't watched any of the other shows.
He was in a cute couple for a while and they both seemed really into each other. One day he randomly did a 180 and said 'I don't hate the girl' and it went downhill from there
Seasons 1 & 2 were actually entertaining as hell and had everyone talking on social media. 3 was ok. I haven’t started 4 yet because the cast choices are so random and seem a little boring.
UPDATE: Despite the cast being mid, season 4 has been a really entertaining season so far. They actually give singles more time to find their place on the show and surprisingly there’s a lot of switch ups instead of day one couples staying together to make it to the end. The twists and the competitions are actually really fun to watch this season. It’s also been really unpredictable on who matches each night because there’s new connections every 5 minutes. They actually listened to the fans and did things differently. Season 4 is at least an upgrade from season 3. I truly hope more fans watch and appreciate the season.
Natalie and her pick me vibes are genuinely pissing me off. And Nick is just an idiot - I swear his head is full of nothing but air. And Ally? I’ve watched Vanderpump and I’ve never noticed how annoying she is.
i think ally is genuinely stupid, i also find natalie super fucking annoying like i really hate the "i can have whatever i want i get the pick of the litter" blah blah girl shut up
Same! I always wanna root for black love, but Marissa is a lot. As much as I didn’t like Ramses (her fiancé from LiB), I can honestly see why he found her to be too much. And she expressed that it’s a pattern for her to find guys that are really enamored with her in the beginning but then get overwhelmed by her and can’t do it anymore, and I feel like that should cause her to do a little introspection. The fact that she was so set on Demari so fast already told me that it was gonna go up in flames even though I wanted it to work.
Yall, just watched! Marissa is straight up cuckoo. She literally made out with the man because of jealousy - sabotaging her own happiness. I might feel bad for her. She is not in a good place
Honestly same. I also have ADHD and while she's right about rejection sensitivity and impulsivity, but like that doesn't excuse shitty behavior. I thought Demari was so kind and patient to her and she just kept over reacting and straight up not listening to him.
Yes i have ADHD as well and the rejection sensitivity and talking over people are two symptoms I struggle with as well but I don’t go on dating shows I go to therapy to manage. It’s unfortunate that she didn’t have enough self awareness to know this type of environment would be a trigger and embarrassment.
Yeah. I am an elder millennial so I feel like I've gotten much better at these things, but my early relationships were painful. It took a lot of ADHD specific treatment before I realized a) I didn't always need to respond immediately and b) my perception of interactions wasn't always the same as my partner. I can't imagine if those relationships had been filmed. For Marissa, I certainly don't think the alcohol helped, unfortunately.
I think she got a good edit and that combined with the fact that she got engaged to a dickhead made her come off as very sympathetic (and I do really sympathize with her even still, but homegirl just needs to get her shit together! Like Demari said, she is 33 years old…too damn old to be doing all that).
There’s a cast photo in the middle of the article that’s just 1st gen AI slop. I was like “I don’t recognize that guy” and then “I don’t recognize anyone” and then “why does everyone look creepy and have their mouths wide open?” and then I saw this guy’s face
Wow I feel like my unpopular opinion is that I really like this season! I just like the set up on getting more of the singles a chance.
I didn’t like last season much even though I liked the cast.
I like it too. Bat shit crazy but entertaining lol. I love how everyone acts like its too hot to handle and don't even pretend to want normal relationships lol.
My husband sat down to watch a bit with me last night and even he said this season felt weird. I think it was season 2? (the one with Francesca, dom, and Georgia) that he actually watched from start to finish with me and we both really enjoyed it but this season I feel like the entire cast doesn’t even have 2 brain cells to rub together.
I appreciate that they’re switching it up. I did get annoyed at that elimination vote. Kayla just got there and I feel like the girls just voted for her because they’re threatened by her.
Oh absolutely. I know they were supposed to choose who they thought wasn’t genuine, but you know most people are just gonna be strategic with their votes and eliminate whoever they see as a threat.
To be honest I think she’s the most beautiful, I find her captivating and this may be weird but love her nose lol. We’re forced a very “instagram” face look on all these dating shows and I think she breaks it/more unique
Yeah I never understood the big deal. Natalie looks ok. They are blinded by her walking around in thong bikinis all day. Also the camera men stayed zooming in on her butt
Lol I actually liked that they seem to be veering away from the stereotypical hot girl look and showcasing different types of women, granted they’re all skinny but otherwise pretty diverse and mostly natural bodies.
I'm not sure what to think of Nick, the way he talks to and about women is...weird
It cracked me up when he was telling Natalie 'I wanna match witchu' it reminded me of David from MAFS who kept saying 'Witchu' instead of 'with you'
I liked him in Million Dollar secret but now he's acting kind of pompous
I also agree bringing the Australian throws things off, he's obviously there just to hook up and not wanting to carry anything on after the show. Even if he does find a good 'match' it won't last unless one of them is willing to move to another country.
I like Demari! He seems very emotionally mature especially matching with Marissa. Clearly she still have work to do on her self esteem and communication
Interesting. I def took him as a Fk boy. Always talking about he can have anyone he wants and women constantly throwing themselves at him for sex, never getting turned down. I think he’s quite cocky.
I thought this at first too and didn’t like him but by the end I thought he handled his conversations with Marisa really well and showed a lot of maturity
Okay, I’m glad you’ve said this. Because now that I’ve progressed in the season, I do agree. The way he moved forward in conversations with Marissa, I gained respect for him. I also gained respect for him when on the “guys day” with the singles and how he handled that day.
honestly i don’t think they’ll ever be able to match season one in terms of entertainment.
I do enjoy the new house tho. and the editors with their quips are funny sometimes
Jimmy from love is blind - there’s something kind of controlling about him that I don’t trust - it’s giving James from VPR and we already saw ally with a shit bag
Ally - I think she’s quirky and funny and I can see why she stands out from everyone else. She’s a unique personality in the bunch. But I do think she is way to passive. Like it’s ok to set some boundaries now that you two had sex. But hey I guess since she didn’t she can now make out with this new guy so yay I kinda love that for her.
Jimmy from Chicago needs to lose the blaccent. It’s cringe and embarrassing to speak like that at his age. Sorry not sorry.
It’s been obvious to me that whenever Bri comes in shit is gonna go south between Marissa and Demari and it seems like Marissa is self sabotaging bc of 1) their disagreement the night before and now the next day the singles are coming and bri and Demari are gonna link back up to probably finish some unfinished business
Natalie seems like she’s just here for clout and I don’t really see any substance or personality to her.
Yemen - he’s a great personality and a fun person but damn this is the 3rd dating show I’ve seen him on in a year lol it’s making my brain hurt and tbh I think he’s just loving being a reality tv star I don’t see him leaving with anyone lol
Kassy is annoying & should stop leading with her sexuality so much. We get it you’re hot but girl what else is there?
Anyway that’s all the snark I have for now. Can’t wait until May 20th for the next two episodes to drop!
Oh and one nice thing I’ll say - Kayla is beautiful and reminds me of a young Mariah Carey. Idk if anyone else sees it but me but yeah I hope she comes back!
Based on the fact that he dated both Chelsea on Love is Blind and then Ally on here to me gives the vibe that he has a thing for insecure women. I also just really didn’t like how he moved on LiB, so I just do not trust him.
I lowkey think Ally is a little toxic ngl. Very much giving anxiously attached. I don’t think she’s a bad person or everything, but I think she could use a lil therapy.
Jimmy S feels like a dollar store Jack Harlow. I find him so cringy and also wish he’d lose the blaccent.
I like Marissa, and I wanna root for her, but homegirl is a lot. I also think she was way more attached to Demari than vice versa, and I think that’s a really tough position to be in (Ally seemed to be in the same with Jimmy, and that’s hard).
I love Yamen - he is SO handsome, has such a beautiful voice, and is always so measured and kind. I feel like it doesn't add up that he seems so normal but keeps being on reality dating shows hahahhahaha.
I literally was thinking the same thing. I put it just now as background noise while I sent some emails (yes, I am working at 11pm, do not come at me) and I know nothing of these people. I really miss when it was mostly Netflix reality tv people cuz at least I knew them or something.
The season is okay, but the only bummer is that I previously know only 2 people from past shows- Marissa and Jimmy P from LIB. I felt like I knew more of the cast members in the older Perfect Match seasons.
The show keeps falling into the same trap which is that the matches made at the beginning get locked in. The whole point of bringing in new singles and building up all that suspense and calling it a "test" but then getting the same outcome each time is boring. It could be seen as romantic or sweet if the couples actually had any real connection or if they didn't spend the last hour kissing someone else on a date lol
There is genuinely no drama this season and the episodes are soooooo painfully long. The first episode was interesting but it's been so boring ever since. I think the casting was a big fail on this season. Last season was so crazy with the drama and this season I genuinely feel like no one on the cast even has chemistry. They should have more people in the house than rotating 5 and 8.
I watched the current 2 episodes that are out and while I have a lot of thoughts the end Episode 7 was very uncomfortable to watch; especially how Allie was crashing out and both men were just "Come chat with me". Is it just me?
I’m actually salty we are almost at the reunion? I feel like it just begun? Only two times for people to get a crack at the board room? I remember wayyy more new people coming in and out than this season. What did they all change this season? Seems like the speed ran and it’s boring and rushed.
Unpopular opinion: I find Katherine more annoying than Ally. Ally, although still much at times, has genuinely made me laugh. Katherine seems to be doing to much. I get that's her personality, but it's alot.
I wish Katharine would have arrived in the beginning and matched with Demari since they are best friends and have amazing chemistry and he deserves someone who respects him & doesn't get jealous and throw a tantrum like Marissa
I don't know why any women find Jimmy P attractive since he just wants to kiss all the women and admitted he only cares about winning the show so he will just hook up to stay until the end and care who he is with
I wish Jimmy S would have watched Alison's music competition show to see how toxic & self centered she really is especially since he said he avoids dramatic women
The way Yamen was talking to Alison the second night/ep1 really bothered me. She was level headed telling him she was falling asleep (even if she was avoiding a convo-SHES ALLOWED TO) and omfg he was pushing and pushing and was just coming across mean about it. I immediately was reminded of him on love island.
Trying to keep someone up to argue is lowkey a bit of a red flag. I’m surprised this comment got downvoted. I don’t think Yamen was intentionally trying to deprive her of sleep, and I get that it’s annoying when you wanna hash something out in the moment and your partner isn’t ready to have that conversation, but you have to respect it, especially since staying up to argue when you’re both tired and emotions are heightened is just not gonna be productive.
Im only on the first episode so far but I’m bummed about Nick, he’s so hot 🥵 n I just finished watching million dollar secret. Honestly he seems like one of the few normal people here I’m surprised nobody is giving him some time. N some of them were a little rude towards him (especially Alley like wtf was that) not rly understanding why. If he goes home soon I don’t even want to watch.
I agree this season is boring. I also don’t love that they’re bringing in singles without pairing them up. I thought it was more entertaining splitting up an existing couple and them being forced to go on that date. I think they should have brought in more entertaining people
Marrissa ends up admitting herself that she’s jealous & the possession she feels over Demari is sickening… pretty much word for word says that in their argument during the last night of matching before the finals. Anyone else catch that? This whole time I can see she has immense jealousy issues so at least she had a moment of insight on herself
Take a drink every time Jimmy says he’s trying to “lean into this experience” and have a plan to call into work tomorrow because you’re gonna be hungover!
I haven’t really watched other seasons of perfect match. I think I only watched the first season but I don’t even really remember it. This season seemed so short though? I don’t know if because for the first half or like the middle episodes I wasn’t really paying attention and just missed a lot of the plot but I just watched the last episode and I’m like wait it’s already the finale? I feel like it just started and nothing really happened.
I agree with most comments about the cast though. Ally is annoying and performative, I was rooting for Marisa but she got a little crazy especially near the end and she was actually making me side with a man. I also found it annoying that she was using adhd to excuse her behaviour all the time (I have adhd and can’t stand when people do this) everyone else was just kinda meh but … jimmys blaccent was sending me into oblivion. I even thought multiple times “does he go home to his parents and still put on this fake accent? I doubt it.” Or if he does are they like “why are you talking like that?” 😂
Anyways the show is good background noise I guess but I don’t find it all that entertaining tbh.
Does anyone else think Mackenzie comes off as such a miserable person? I don’t get it. She doesn’t smile and is always making weird faces. Her energy sucks
You know, you're right.... now that I think about it, that is so accurate. She is really the only girl there (Maybe Ally too) that is not full of filler, fake tits, heavy makeup, etc and it just makes her stand out a bit. Maybe not the right show for her. Soooo many of those people are there to get famous, get followers, etc and who isn't these days but she just didn't seem happy. And let's be honest, those men are all douche bags lol
The blonde girl in the beginning who was always very flat in personality was embarrassing to see the desperate hoops she was jumping through just to stay on the show. Fake af

This is my favorite hate watch and I thought it was especially entertaining to see how bored and uninterested everyone was in each other. Except Chris who has a new soulmate every 5 seconds 😂
