I can see why most of these participants have to make do with online romances. One-on-one they all seem to have PhDs in misunderstanding words and intentions.
I'm no big fan of "Sean" the dodgy Japanese dude, but Victoria-Emma seems to interpret all his actions and most of his words the wrong way. Her social filter seems to be set on "this is deliberately designed to hurt/affect me. How can I misinterpret it to further my victimhood?"
The less said about Richard Porter, the better. A perfect lout who for some unknown reasons thinks he's a great catch. The negativity associated with "mail-order brides" can be ascribed to predators like him.
Shaun is just pathetic, he expects us to believe he got out of "cleaning management" because of the "pressure of the job." Now he's back to just cleaning, at a vastly lower salary and he still has trouble doing anything other than telling long-suffering Christine that she's his everything, he loves her. Does he have any interests other than whining and sobbing how much he loves Christine?
Kadie is doing better than most, but her accent is so broad, I wonder Alejandro can understand her. She did bite the bullet and go to Mexico but her fear of any food other than fish and chips and sausage rolls makes it seem she won't be very adaptable in the long run.
Emma, I just don't get it. What on earth do she and Hossein have in common, other than his wish to live in the UK?
I'd write more about Marvin, Calum, Sam and Pat, but their stories have barely got off the ground and according to IMDB, the series, at 12 episodes, has already finished. Surely they have to come back to tidy up the relationships, bring all the participants together, at least? If we have to wait until 2023, I think I'll give it a miss.
