"I know someone who is coming in soon as a groom. He’s only just been able to tell people he is on the programme. Is a genuine normal lovely person. I’ve only watched the series these last few days as I knew he was coming in and I just cannot imagine him on the show. I used to watch it years ago when it wasn’t like this!"
Hope your friend dies better and is not matched with anyone toxic.
The show used to be very real and then they adopted the Australian approach.
I am also watching the USA version and the experts really are good. What they say makes the situation de-escalate.
