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