Are You the One?

As I was flipping through the channels and shows on my TV guide I noticed that Are You the One? Season Two was on. The show aired last year, and of course I watched it, and was actually intrigued, and wanted them to continue, and do a Season Two, and they finally did. Although the show premiered a week before I recorded it, and was very excited to watch it.

                Are You the One is a competition reality show where 20 contestants meet, and tests and experts as cheesy and unrealistic as it seems have found them there perfect match who is one of the other contestants. They have 10 weeks for all 10 20 contestants to find their perfect match, and if all contestants do they win $1,000,000.

                When I first heard what the show was about I doubted it. How could tests find someone’s perfect match out of only the people who were willing to do the show? Especially since it airs on MTV I thought it was all for the drama, and the views. When I finished watching the show I definitely knew that I was right. Out of all the couples paired up only two couples remained together in the end. All the other couples couldn’t stand one another and their “relationship” had ended badly. The show is something different than anything I’ve seen on tv. So, did MTV create the show for the views and put people on the show that will create drama and spike their views or was their objective in mind to find the contestants “true love?”

                This season they’ve added a twist, because one guy had to “perfect matches.” Whoever the guy chooses as his perfect match, and is right the other girl has to go home. I don’t like this new rule, because I believe it’s unfair to the girl who is paired up with her because only one will end up with their “true love” and the other will pack up and be sent home. This made me question the show once again, because this rule will create and already has created drama in the house, and when one of the girls is picked there is bound to be a fight.

                Although I’ve questioned the objective of MTV I am overall excited to watch the season unfold. Although finding true love based on tests might not be real it is still a cheesy dramatic reality show so of course I’m bound to watch it.
