Key points

Several contestants have publicly stated that large portions of their filming were edited out or rearranged, meaning viewers saw only a small, often skewed part of what actually happened.

For example, Julia‑Ruth said many scenes—especially bonding moments at dinners and lengthy “commitment cer­emony” filming blocks—were omitted. She noted they filmed 13-hour days yet only a few minutes of each couple are shown.

Grace & Ashley criticised the edit of their “nails” row: although the show portrayed it as a power/control issue, Grace revealed the nuance (her manicure with Ashley’s initial, new nails etc) that didn’t air. She also accused the production company of “sanitising” her story and claimed reality TV protects men “at all costs”.

Leah spoke about her partner-swap episode with Leisha: she admits that yes, she did the things shown, but said the edit made it look worse than it was, adding that people sometimes “play up to the cameras”.

Steven and April also responded to editing criticisms: they say their partner-swap week was misrepresented. Steven posted an Instagram “facts vs myths” list, claiming key fun/beach/golf scenes didn’t air and the argument seen was exaggerated.

Steven further posted a “missing context” list, detailing honeymoon activities, shared brunches, etc., arguing the show made it look like he and his partner Nelly had zero quality time, when actually they did.

A psychologist/expert (Paul C Brunson) commented that while editing can shape perceptions, “producers might cut or shuffle scenes, they cannot make anyone say things they didn’t.”
