I watched Are You The One? The Perfect Match and this is what I thought

Are you the one perfect match

Yeah, this was of course a bit to be expected. Last week I watched Are You The One? The Perfect Match for the first time and before I knew it, it was Sunday again and I was installed on the couch right at seven o'clock. I still don't completely feel like I fully understand the concept, but at the same time, I also feel like that doesn't really matter. I mean: they only have one match so it's not like they actually have a chance at that €200,000 yet. No, I'm just watching for this delicious drama and people who only throw words like ‘sincerity’ and ‘feelings’ into every conversation. Yes, so even in episode number six, I had quite a few thoughts.

1. I'm really not mathematically inclined, but

2. Those names are really something I need to get used to. I thought last episode that Dividivi was the highlight, now I'm getting to know Rabia and JB. Is there really no one named Sanne anymore? Manon? Ilse?

3. #durftevragen: everyone talks about feelings and sincerity, while the only reason they want to find their match is... That €200,000, right?

4. Just so you know, Yasmin is really not going to be a third wheel, okay.

5. Idea: give all participants of these kinds of programs a course on proverbs and expressions before their participation.

6. ‘Are you fucking stupid or something?’ says the man who five seconds ago was still saying that everyone wants him and wants to be with him. Oooookay.

7. No idea yet who the one is that was born with a crooked head, but can we see those baby photos? Pretty please?

8. Too bad the question: ‘Who is only participating for the Insta-fame?’ isn't part of this game.

9. Aaahh, so Dividivi is named after a crooked tree. Not after the Antillean budget airline. Learned something new.

10. I have the feeling that there are some things bothering Ivo. From being jealous to ‘do you know that I want to get you out of the villa as soon as possible?!’. Really mature texts are being spewed here.

11. HAHA. ‘Just fuck off, with your... With your HEAD.’ There. That hits.

12. ‘I have not kissed him three times but I will kiss him again if you don't mind.’

13. Honestly: love these edits. In the previous scene saying that you really don't want to be in a kind of love triangle and that's why you're not going to kiss. Next scene: full tongues.

14. ‘F*ck it, I don't care.’ He definitely wouldn't have said this if he had spotted Rabia. I wouldn't want to argue with her, you know.

15. Sorry Yasmin, but: RUN. That Ivo is only going to bring drama. Didn't you pick up anything last night?

16. What did you say, Kaj? We're already at the halfway point? And only one match? Ooooh, this is going completely the wrong way.

17. It's really nice that people can go to the troet boet again. You should also have a troet boet in real life.

18. In fact, MTV, fix this: troet boets in real life. I think many relationships would benefit from that. Idea for the suggestion box.

19. Everyone is really so continuously on edge in this program. I'm really tense the whole time because I feel like one of them could explode completely in a millisecond.

20. YAAAA. A. Perfect. Match. I still don't feel like they really have a chance at that prize but I think this is totally fun. I think they are also the two most drama-free people and I find them super cute together.

21. Did I just say something cute about Are You The One? The Perfect Match...? It can't get much crazier.

22. HAHA. I take everything back. That inspiring speech from Boudewijn was really the most cringy half minute of the entire episode.

23. What if you really get into a huge fight in that Honeymoon Suite, or you find out that you actually don't like each other that much? Hell.

24. Hatsaaaaa. Two matches. A record for this season, right?

25. WHUUT. Three. Yeah right, getting ten matches is really impossible.

26. Okay, and that was it. Three out of ten matches. I was just very enthusiastic because they only had one last time, but this is of course also just an incredibly bad score.

27. Are we back again tonight? Of course. My Uber Eats order is already set, the heating is on, my alarm is set for 7:00 PM. I'm back with you, MTV. See you soon.
