Most emotional and realistic dating show I've seen

Honestly, the concept is cruel, but I also remember the participants chose to be on this show and that in some sense, many were looking for closure to move on... hence *transit* love. So as painful as it might have been, this was a unique experience for the participants. It's not common to find yourself living with your ex, processing so much, altogether with other pairs of exes! It makes you think a lot, about things you might have compartmentalized or ignored otherwise. I just can't be sure if this process made it worse for some...

Nevertheless, this was also a gift for us watchers. We get to see such a variety of personalities, relationships/friendships, stories, perspectives, and conversations. It definitely made me reflect and process emotions I did not even know I needed to process. The pain I felt watching the scars of a long-term relationship come into the light and their attempt to find closure... ouf, that one got me the most. Oh, I must say, Coco has a special place in my heart, and I loved how her relationship with her ex turned out over the course of their time there.

I really wish all participants came on at the same time so that everyone got a fair chance. I see this twist often in dating shows, and it might be fun for us watchers... but I always found it be unfair for the new (and even old) participants. I felt that even more for this show.

I did not always agree with some participants, but I felt like I could understand everyone... On that note, as much as I like to critique the decisions of some participants, I appreciated how the panellists leaned away from criticism and towards being more understanding of every participant. Ultimately, these are real people who may now experience getting recognized in public and the kind of criticism that can build up in the wrong way.
