I usually love feel good reality tv romance shows like love island, so when I came upon this on Prime I was very enthusiastic. Unfortunately I was quickly disappointed because the "twin experiment" concept ended up interfering way too much with the romance aspect. The problem is that in order to maintain similar twin house, when someone is eliminated, so is their twin in the other house. This always forces participants to either date the same twin, renounce their own love interest or break the relationship of their twin, leading to broken couples, tears and a "feel bad" experience for the viewer. At some point the producers realized it was not working and changed the rules in order to try to salvage the end of the show and avoid having to break more couples, but in the end it feels like for most successful couples there are twins who must enter a bad relationship to match their twin's, breakup and suffer, which leaves a very bitter aftertaste for the viewer. Again Amazon Prime disappoints when it comes to romantic reality TV.
