Match Me Abroad (2023– )
4/10
Skewed Reality (International Version)
15 May 2023
Interesting enough show, but I know one of the contestants personally; therefore know without doubt that the editors and producers took a great deal of the comments viewers see out of context. To the point where the general impression is significantly skewed. Any quirks in contestants are emphasized to the point of making them seem like idiots; other times, small positive traits are made to look like they are saints.

Then again, that is general practice for reality television, right? Have to make it entertaining, have to make ratings, have to name the big money. These contestants were all paid to go abroad with free matchmaking services, paid to date and travel, so of course they had to sign to be alright with however they were portrayed.

Social media is cashing in, the producers even fabricated some scenarios. The line between fact and "reality" is blurred; scenarios might not be entirely fabricated, but they are strongly "nudged" in the direction the show producers want, not allowing for a very natural progression.

Again, this is a given in this day and age for reality shows, but that doesn't make it acceptable.
