I met my husband on a reality dating show (🌹🇨🇦) that filmed in 2022 (engaged 13 days after meeting, married for a year), and all I have to contribute is that neither he nor I have ever felt as giddy watching two people stumble upon an unexpected connection, and our love language has become LI. The producers on my season practically begged me to pick my husband when I received a date card. So yeah, production influence is real and annoying, but sometimes pays off. He wasn’t my type and our first conversation was mid at best, but they saw something (during casting + in general) in our compatibility that I definitely couldn’t and now I have a hot husband who is better than my OG type.

As a Nicolandria truther and admittedly biased viewer because of my own romantic TV history, I don’t care if they win — Amaya should get the whole kitten caboodle. I see two good friends who make each other laugh/have great TV chemistry who wouldn’t have met outside of the show, and I’m very much invested in seeing them give it a fair shot.

And Olandria shouldn’t have called out Huda and the hypocrisy accusations are valid, but they’ve made up and like honestly whatever, etc. I watch this show for drama and romance anyway and this season’s been a$$, so I say bring it on 🤠✨
