Jesse promised us a twist this week and he definitely delivered. “The Split” might seem familiar to fans of other dating shows, that’s because they basically pulled it directly from Love Island. How do Jared and Kay feel about this you ask? 10/10 – Jared wants them to go even further and steal elements from even more reality shows. For once, it feels like the producers played their cards right. On the other hand, they also forced us to watch this clearly orchestrated situation between Michael and Danielle for far too long. We already know the producers have a heavy hand on the show, at least hide it a little better. Jared and Kay finish the episode with the most dramatic moments, weekly awards, and hopes for what the rest of the season looks like.
