Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the Mass Funny podcast. And
Speaker 1: let's skip the usual intro today and just get straight
Speaker 1: into it. What the heck is this big, huge, never
Speaker 1: been done before twist that's coming up on the show
Speaker 1: this week that was just teased. At the end of
Speaker 1: tonight's episode, a brand new phase of the experiment is revealed.
Speaker 1: This is a shot. This is a real shot. That
Speaker 1: is crazy. That is not what I was expecting at all.
Speaker 1: The twist is Temptation Week, where ahead of the final
Speaker 1: Vile ceremonies, each cast member is basically handed an envelope
Speaker 1: from the experts and in it is a letter which says, Hey,
Speaker 1: we actually have a backup match who you're kind of
Speaker 1: compatible with. Do you want to go on a date
Speaker 1: with them? Behind your current partners back? And as you'd expect,
Speaker 1: that leads to some fucking disastrous consequences. Paul agrees to
Speaker 1: meet his backup option and going a date with her,
Speaker 1: but Karina doesn't agree to meet hers and doesn't think
Speaker 1: Paul will meet his, which basically leads to them splitting
Speaker 1: up on the spot once she finds out because she
Speaker 1: says that's cheating the fact he did that, and He's like, no,
Speaker 1: it was just curiosity. Jamie agrees to meet her back up,
Speaker 1: but apparently that guy stands her up on their day. Dave,
Speaker 1: I'm not too sure about. Beth and TJ both go
Speaker 1: off and meet their backup options. Is that surprise no,
Speaker 1: since they're essentially over anyway. According to The Daily Mail, Jackie, Ryan,
Speaker 1: Adrian and Athena also all went off to meet their
Speaker 1: backup options, and the only people to say no, thank you,
Speaker 1: We're quite happy as we are was of course RhE
Speaker 1: and Jeff, who are officially now the saviors of the season.
Speaker 1: And as messy as this is all going to be
Speaker 1: to watch, the thing I'm most looking forward to is
Speaker 1: which of the experts they're going to have try and
Speaker 1: justify this whole task as like a positive thing for
Speaker 1: the couples, because there really is no spin that they
Speaker 1: can put on this challenge to make it sound like
Speaker 1: anything but a final attempt to destroy the relationships that
Speaker 1: have managed to last this long. And also remember the
Speaker 1: relationships that these experts are employed to try and make
Speaker 1: work and thrive anyway. So yeah, that's basically that's the
Speaker 1: final challenge. Everyone gets a let us say and yeah,
Speaker 1: we've got to back up for you. Do you want
Speaker 1: to meet them? And most people say yeah, why not?
Speaker 1: Which does that make this whole season feel a bit
Speaker 1: pointless when we're meant to be watching relationships blossom and
Speaker 1: bloom and then go off into the real world together. Potentially,
Speaker 1: could this then inspire a spinoff season where any of
Speaker 1: these new couples are matched together. Potentially again, I actually
Speaker 1: wouldn't put it past the producers to bring one of
Speaker 1: these backup options onto next season as a brider groom
Speaker 1: and then potentially bring one of this year's people back
Speaker 1: if there is a connection between them. If that happens,
Speaker 1: you hit it here first, Thank you very much, good night.
