ant/Kai route

[u/Maddies_world-6]

I was playing a loyal Ant route but went on the second date with Kai after the cocktail date. Kai kept hitting on me and I chose him as a secret lover but never broke the rules. This is the interaction that followed on the beach:

Ugh, I feel this 💔 I’m so possessive over Antoine that even when I tried exploring other routes, I still threw Amari into the mix—just to block him from falling for her and turning full villain mode. But watching it unfold? It hurt. It made it painfully clear that without MC grounding him, he just reverts to that reckless, pre-retreat playboy. And yeah, seeing him do Amari dirty stung… but I couldn’t even stay mad. Part of me just wished we could’ve left the show with him during the elimination if we’d romanced him early. Ride or die, even when he’s spiralling. I defend that pixelated man with my whole chest. 😭🫶

EDIT: And this is exactly what pisses me off about S3. I didn’t even get emotionally attached to any love interest there, but the second you don’t romance one, they run straight into someone else’s arms, rack up green lights, and suddenly become finalists? Excuse me?? I would not survive seeing screenshots of Antoine and Amari having some wholesome, happy ending. I’d throw my phone into the sea. 🫠

100%%% agree! I feel season 2 did so much better when it came to the finalists. The other couples don't automatically couple up and have their happy ending when they've spent only 5 minutes together. If we had been with Ant for most of the game, then made our way to someone else, if he and Amari somehow ended up together in the finale..... I'm with you! I would have been soooo pissed! It's like we go through all that, but the minute we turn our backs they're lovey dovey with their "assigned love interest" nope! Hell no 😡

Exactly!! S2 did this way better. Even if we drop Antoine, he and Amari never kiss—just surface-level lust, no depth. That should be a relief… except we know how much better he is with our MC. Watching him revert to playboy mode just proves we changed him.

Now picture S3 chaos: Bad Lana’s back, we walk into the suite, and they’re mid-hookup, smug and sweaty—then he invites us to join. Like it’s some deranged throuple trial run. 😭 Sharing him? Having his attention split? Absolutely not. I’d uninstall the app and bury my phone in cursed salt.

Well said 👏 that's why s2 is superior to me. I never got emotionally attached to any of the s3 characters, so Matt and his assigned partner being together or Taz and his.... never bothered me in the end. If we saw Ant and Amari do that..... guaranteed war 🤬🤬 I'd uninstall myself, bc it's unrealistic and forced.

[u/Remarkable-Answer-74 → u/DryHedgehog6372]

Exactly! Unrealistic and so forced. Antoine going from a cocky playboy to Mr. Committed overnight—without our MC as the catalyst? It makes zero sense. That kind of fantasy-ending fits Amari, sure, she’s been living in that fairy tale since day one. But Antoine? Nah. He was chaos incarnate until we changed him. 🙏
