Nah I think that's something else this one is all Americans. They get married at the same time they meet for the first time and they are matched by "experts"

I watched the first episode of a Netflix show called "Another Life" last night.


I didn't think it was very good tbh, don't think I'm gonna continue it.

I’ve watched this in previous seasons, Love is Blind, and a few Batchelor/Batchelorettes with the wife, and I’d take any of them over a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Oh yeah I forgot about Love is Blind. That show kinda annoyed me because they made this big deal about them making emotional attachments before meeting or seeing them but it didn't really seem like they actually talked that much?

This case of an intraperitoneal zucchini is unusual, and does raise questions as to how hard one has to push a blunt vegetable to perforate the rectum.

Too many hours for not enough money, just like the rest of us.

It's bathwater of the famous streamer/influencer "MoonMoon".

I wasn't watching that closely but I think you're right. It was a couple glasses of water with crystals in em and they drank it the next morning.

They are still fighting like every 5 mins so I don't think it worked...

As a poweful Wiccan* once told me a lot of people dont properly collect it because they dont take water untouched by light before bathing in the moonlight so its possible she didnt do it right.

*They once claimed they had a never fail love spell but Im pretty sure that was just their Grindr account

Hey, so I worked on several seasons of an international version of this show. If anyone wants to ask anything about it fire away. I'll answer as best as I can without opening myself up to legal action.

Lol yeah it was just a couple glasses sitting on the counter with their candles and burning sage that doesn't sound too legit

It's not scripted but it's not real real either. If the executives want a different match up to the """""experts""""" guess who wins? And you can probably guess whether the executives want 13 weeks of normal happy couples.

Then you've got a bunch of people forced into a highly stressful and completely unnatural situation, with a team of directors and producers who are all skilled at manipulating people hanging around constantly.

THEN you can manipulate the poo poo out of everything in post production.

So, no one is told what to say or do, but no one behaves as they normally would either.
