Perfect Match Netflix Review
This is peak trash TV and I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. If you haven’t seen Perfect Match, stop what you’re doing and get on it. If you can’t tell already, you probably know which way this Netflix review is heading so let’s get into it. Don’t worry, I’ll list off when the spoilers begin so you can enjoy this masterpiece on your own time.
Non-Spoilers
Welcome to the reject show because that’s exactly what this is. Nick Lachey has successfully wound up the minions of rejects and put them all in a location in Panama. All the losers that got rejected on Love is Blind are here. Mix them in with some of the cast of Too Hot to Handle, The Circle, etc and you create the perfect ball of drama.
The Hunger Games of dating in a line used by Chase actually describes what it is perfectly. Only one couple can be the Perfect Match! In terms of trash reality TV, this is about as good as it gets.
Spoilers
For those that have seen the show, we all need to have a chat. I’m just going to list out some bullet points. Feel free to comment with your thoughts as well. That goes without saying that Nick Lachey is truly living the dream.
- Dom
Dom may have won on the scorecards but I’m not sure anybody respects him after the fact. God that was sad. This man was a sad puppy dog the whole show. Literally burst into tears when Francesca dropped his ass. I can’t express how hard I laughed watching his man cry. The sad thing is Georgia took the rejected sad dog, put a strap on, and rode her way to a win. Maybe it was the painted nails but that dude is wack and sad.
- Bartise
I sort of went over this in the Love is Blind post but wow he’s dumb. Did anybody not laugh when he botched things with Abbey? Truly brain dead human. Nobody talks in circles more than that guy. Brain is totally fried. Has no hope.
- Mitchell
Chloe might have a pancake (her words, not mine) but nobody lost their man card faster than Mitchell. Chloe is hot for a British girl (Yes, I’ve also been there). This man really went to a dating show and said he’s not ready for a commitment. You can’t make it up. Not even that, he’s also a virgin and is waiting til marriage. Yeah, that kind of weirdo. I almost felt that someone should have thrown him in the Ocean for his own good. What a worthless human. How did he make it onto any of these shows?
- Nick
Number two most embarrassing moment of the show (behind Dom’s Great Wall of Cryna) was Nick following Francesa up the stairs. Bro, she doesn’t want you. Never did. I don’t think I’d ever be able to look myself in the mirror again had I pulled that move. I’m not sure Savannah wanted him either but he may have actually been able to work his way in there. Really poor judgment by a lame dude.
- Shayne
Nobody spirals worse than Shayne. It’s like watching the Titanic sink every time. You can’t take your eyes off it. For those that have seen Love is Blind you already knew this going in. The sad part is he actually has some chemistry with Chloe, but it doesn’t matter. Guy is such a mess and I’m not sure it’s 100% his fault.
- Diamond
Diamond is a nightmare. I’m sorry but she’s single because her attitude sucks. Why won’t anyone just admit that? I’m surprised her date didn’t just turn around and say no every time. Maybe they can’t for TV purposes but it’s not a coincidence she was on the show for about 30 seconds compared to everyone else other than LC who simply just didn’t get picked until the show was donezo.
- Francesca
I’m not going to lie, I’m embarrassed for my male species. The number of guys who fawned over Francesca is so sad. They know nothing about her. What’s interesting about her other than the fact that she’s an underrated Kiniver? You have to give her some credit. She knows how to play the room and has quadruple the brain power of Bartise if the two were to take an IQ test. Other than that she’s a complete… well… you know.
- Savannah
Had I been on this show Savannah would have been the easy number one choice. If she wants to hollar, tell her where to find me. The lack of interest in her was shocking on the show. The rivalry with Francesa was awesome and she was completely proven right when Dom was dumped for Damian.
- Kariselle / Joey
The fact that Kariselle and Joey didn’t make it after the show is so ridiculous. They were both trainwrecks but they were their trainwrecks. It turns out nobody was the perfect match. Maybe that’s what happens when you put the rejects together?
