I couldn’t see another thread on this. Anyone watched it yet? There were a lot of uncomfortable aspects particularly with the vlogger dad & his wife. It was fascinating to me how he was a Christian & very open about his faith while then leading a double life. I found the pregnancy test thing incredibly weird.
I’ve seen all the episodes but wary of giving too much away!

Very disturbing. I think most people were sorry they got caught, not for cheating. Sam was beyond weird, and how could his wife ever trust him again. (And I did not know they actually named that frozen routine themselves, how vain!)

Just finished it.
It's made me glad I am not married. I saw myself in that poor young wife - realising men are just like this and nothing you do will make a difference.

I also didn't buy his crocodile tears, the nervous twitch checking camera, then wiping his face and looking up...bull. He's still at it.

I had a binge watch of this last night. Also couldn’t stand Sam, so insincere. Also Noel the AM CEO… felt sorry for his poor wife.
I did like Evan - the big sales guy from AM in the pink shirt - I thought he was funny and quite straightforward.

chocolatecoveredpeanut · 21/05/2024 13:16

I keep on singing "Love is an open door" and thinking how he must have taken that very literally at the time...

Candleabra · 21/05/2024 19:29

I’ve revised my opinion of Sam after the last episode. He’s even worse than I thought! What a complete pig. The entitlement. His poor wife. I can’t believe she stayed.

Me neither. Especially after he told her that he had lied in the 'confession' they made on video. She took him back after that? Having married him for his 'Christian values'?

And I very much doubt he is faithful to her now.

I expect the counselling they had was church based and she would have been told no one else would want damaged goods and she should work on being a better wife so he wouldn't stray again.
She's had years of being groomed to be a good Christian wife and has no self worth of herself as anything else.

True. She was barely out of her teens when she married him and got pregnant straight away. He is all she's ever known.

That's why I would be very surprised if he's not cheating on her again. He knows she'll stay with him no matter what.

chocolatecoveredpeanut · 22/05/2024 12:55

I honestly thought he might come out as gay. It's not that he acts it but that I wouldn't put anything past him at this point.

I know! Did you see his face when they asked at the end if they knew AM was still going?

He's a good looking guy and a minor celebrity. He'd probably have no problem finding willing partners even without some dodgy website.

I can't believe it's still going however. Who is going to pay money to join a website with a terrible security record, just to chat with a bot?

MeepMep · 22/05/2024 19:08

Can't believe that woman stayed with him what a slimer.

MrsDTucker · 22/05/2024 21:12

I don't understand how they couldn't find out who leaked it?
Is the CEO still with his wife?
If everyone knows there weren't many women signing up why are they still joining?

Because men.
You'd have thought special pants Christian would have figured it out when the women in his area kept ghosting him and he had to "move further out" as he said.

Seems to have been used as a blueprint for a few dating sites too - wasn't there something about most of them having AI talking to men because women don't sign up? No wonder men have high expectations of who they can date if they're getting AI chatting them up all the time😆

Netaporter · 22/05/2024 21:55

watched it yesterday. I am genuinely baffled by those who follow any family/mum of 21 kids types on SM or you tube. I felt sorry for that wife and also the New Orleans wife (beautiful house) whoseDH had taken his own life. I reckon the hacker was part of the set up somewhere. Obviously not the CEO unless he was a dick and gave the hackers access to the system?

I remember it happening at the time. Terrible if you found your other half on it.

Haha I thought that too. No wonder my musings on music and literature are falling flat on tinder if they’re really looking for someone who’s opening line is I’m bored at work fancy some sexy time

Apparently, the former CEO, Noel Biderman is still with his wife.
I can't get my head around how you process that level of betrayal and remain married to the cheater!

Girliefriendlikespuppies · 22/05/2024 22:55

I watched this with 18yo dd Ystd and we were both disgusted with all the men on it. I lost all sympathy for Nia when she took that scumbag back. I hope she makes him get checked for STIs every week 🤢 the fact he came onto her friends and she still forgave him?? Ffs.

How did AM not get done for fraud when they were clearly lying to the users?

My guess is she knew or at least suspected all along, and was just putting on a show for the cameras.

But yes, staying with him after he so publicly made a fool of you! It's as bad as the 'Christian' lady.

MrsDTucker · 23/05/2024 08:43

And knowing he asked for 18 and 19 year olds to be "sent" to him!!!

Didn't he ask for a 'viewing' of a few so he could pick the one he preferred?

They quoted from an email where he said 'I'm interested in Anna.' Poor Anna was probably his children's age. Imagine that being your husband!

MermaidEyes · 23/05/2024 09:42

Binged this too. Personally I couldn't stand either Sam or Nia, a couple of talentless boring exhibitionists who only seem interested in fame and celebrity, and he sounded a bit thick as well. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Him pretending to be upset was hilarious quite frankly, crocodile tears, and she's a fool for sticking with him. The fact he hesitated when the producers asked if he knew AM was still going tells you he's probably already re-signed up.
Some of these men must really see themselves differently to how the rest of the world sees them. A huge number of them are middle aged, fat, balding and unattractive, and yet these beautiful stunning flawless young women are interested in them and want sex?! Anyone with half a brain would realise they're being scammed.

That's men for you!

Women like the ones in the profiles would have no need to sign up for a sleazy website to meet sleazy men. They could just go down to their local bar and they'd get loads of offers from men they'd be able to actually meet in real life.

That's why I'm amazed the site is supposedly still around. Fool me once and all that.
