Finally got around to finishing the US season!
I first started watching when it premiered at the start of the year, got bored mid-season then gave up. But I picked it up again yesterday and managed to get through it. I found it had a different pace to the UK version which took me a few episodes to get used to, but all in all I found this season quite entertaining.
I wasn’t on the edge of my seat as much as I was during UK’s season 2 but I did enjoy a lot of the twists they threw out in the second half of the US season.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the overall cast, although Sammie was an early favourite of mine from day one. I actually really loved Alex/Adam a lot too! Thought it was a bold and clever strategic move for Sean to come out as a catfish to the players, but unfortunately it didn’t work in her favour. I was also happy with the winner - it’s rare for me to genuinely like the winner of any reality show, but I wanted Joey to take it out by about the midway point so was pleased with the result. (Side-note, the men really came through this season! Call me deprived here in Covid isolation, but damn
most of them were fiiiine. Don’t get me started on Ed and that crop top.

An enjoyable season but definitely lacked something that kept me so enthralled me when I watched the UK series. Looking forward to where Netflix takes it next year.
