When exactly will the name of this show officially be changed from Are You the One? to John Is Losing His F*cking Mind? Will we have to wait until he punches seven more walls and then screams into the abyss that it doesn’t matter how the experts have spoken and their claim is that Julia is not a girl specifically put onto this planet just so he can ogle her from the moment she opens her wary eyes in the morning and sees him staring hard at her?

Yes, the series about finding a soulmate is back and, cynicism aside, there’s no denying that being isolated on an island with the person a team of matchmaking experts decided was perfect for you can actually work. Amber and Ethan met on the first season and they are now married with a baby! Perhaps one of our lucky current contestants will ask that baby to be a flower girl one day! But … Continue reading →
