  • Turkish women would see his bullshit right away.

    To be fair, I’d like to think a lot of American women would see through his BS.

    He’s not exactly subtle about his red flags (“I told you I didn’t want kids when we met because I was trying to f*** you”). She is just in a sex haze and can’t see what’s right in front of her. What she finds cute now will be extremely annoying if they spend six months together.



  • Yes, and also creative editing.

    It’s easy to chop up someone’s sentence so something like, “You always hear about these romance scams where foreigners are using someone for a green card, but I can see how much you two love each other” ends up as “you always hear about these foreigners using someone for a green card” paired with a shot of the foreigner awkwardly staring (that might have been filmed 20 minutes prior to this conversation).

    It’s also been confirmed that they film shots of everyone sitting at the table without talking, then splice them into a dinner conversation to make it look like an awkward silence or like one of the friends/family members dislikes something.






  • Casting agents have openly said that learning that one partner is keeping a secret is more likely to get them cast. I’m sure it’s a direct question when they’re interviewing potential couples (they probably interview them together and then individually).

    Also, a lot of the “secrets” are things that probably just wouldn’t be discussed if not for cameras rolling and needing a big reveal. A good example is Rebecca’s not-yet-finalized divorce- she probably didn’t NEED to tell Zied that; he likely didn’t understand US divorce procedures and it’s not like she was still living with or hanging out with her ex.
