I can’t tell if the producers are just picking couples that have major secrets for the drama. But I can’t imagine being in a long-distance relationship in which all you can do is talk on the phone — and yet when you start the 90 days you are only just finding out major life details about your partner??
- Gino didn’t tell Jasmine about quitting
- Jasmine lied about the butt implants
- Nikki only admitted she was trans during a fight
- Sophie hadn’t told Rob about her ovary cyst surgery
- Ashley didn’t tell her fiancé she was a witch
- Her partner (sorry forgot his name but would never forget Rico MFing Suave) lied to his family about where he was
There might be more as I’m only a few episodes in. It’s just odd to me because I could never keep major life events like that to myself in a relationship. Is that just more normal than I realise??
The production company seeks these dynamics out. One of the questions on their initial application is something like, “Do you have a secret you haven’t told or are afraid to tell your partner?” It makes me think that people are encouraged to create secrets if they don’t already have one ready to spill.
