My homeland’s greatest export, I have to say. Nothing beats it! Although I hate how many times the phrase “neatly tucked away” gets said about vulvas lmao.
Wow, you really sold me on the show!! At first, I was skeptical and like, “Surely there’s no fat or trans people,” but you came and slapped me and said, “hell yes there are!!”
Would you say that marginalized bodies tend to be eliminated more quickly than others, though? That’s the only part that would be a bummer.
The only thing I've noticed is that I am never, ever correct about who the person picking a date is going to choose! I'm ALWAYS wrong, and bodies that fall outside of what I assume a say, 22-year-old white straight cis guy might choose, win about as often as every other kind of body.
I gasped when I saw this email because I LOVE THIS SHOW AND I LOVE TO WATCH IT WITH MY FRIENDS!! There are def a few weird quirks though: there seems to be a real hatred for pubic hair, they always call vulvas vaginas, and they say "neat and tidy" waaayyy too much in relation to people's genitals. Other than that the host is a literal angel and it really gets good when you start recognizing repeat contestants.
omg i'm so happy you love this show!! and yep "neat and tidy" is 🤮🤮 🤮 And WHAT i had no idea there were repeat contestants, obvs i am not watching carefully enough!
From Wikipedia 'Numerous complaints about the programme were made by viewers to the broadcasting watchdog Ofcom due to the full-frontal nudity that is featured in the programme. Ofcom chose not to investigate as there was nothing that breached their rules: the show was purely a dating show and did not contain any sexual activity, and was shown after the watershed. It caused controversy when released in the United States.' 😅

I'm interested in what it says about British culture (and maybe the politics of programming etc) that we have this show!
ME TOO, like howwwww do you have this? How is it aired during normal programming hours?? it's incredible to me!!
