Not even host Yvonne Orji's (Insecure) lively energy can save this awkward and chaotic live show. Go to Full Review

A S @RT10379022 Jul 29 People need to stop acting like the YT version was some wholesome show Netflix ruined. It's entertaining because it's a bunch of people in Shein dresses with Channel standards. Men judging woman for having multiple baby daddies, yet forgetting to pay their child support. And a whole felon who was charged with lying to the police to extort money from an MLB player looking for "love". It doesn't feel forced, and that is what makes it addictive. The Netflix version is awful because the constants are all D-list celebrities looking to pump their IG accounts, especially The Johnny Bananas episode - the guy is 60 and requires the same amount of attention as a 7-year-old. Plus the host is trying way too hard to eat the spotlight and overpower the daters. It went from comedy to obnoxious with the obvious favoritism of some guest and picking on others, it takes away from calmness Arlette brings.

See more Stella W @RT97952540 06/04/2025 It's nice but it does not seem as real as the pop the balloon on youtube. When I watch it I can't tell if everyone is really out here for love. It seems more just like a show or performance that people are trying to put on. Seems like they are only on there to promote themselves and there business.They need to find people who are seriously looking for love. These people need to be serious about rather this is a potential partner who they can talk to with after this show and marry.

But then gave it another chance and got better and love it now 💗 See more Angela A @Ang1234 05/02/2025 The first episode was absolutely terrible, but I gave it an another chance and the second week was a lot better!!! The host is fun and the daters ask some very interesting questions. See more Read all reviews
