Appearances
You want one or two people to fall in love per season, but you want the rest of them to fight, otherwise the show is boring.
On the most recent season of Maths America, they paired up a very career-focused woman who was really set on being financially independent, doing well for herself, working very hard.
They paired her up with a man who lived in his parents' basement.
Oh man, it's so cynical and so gross.
Yeah, it's so cruel for both of those people, right?
Because she's going to be presented as shallow and superficial and he's going to be presented like, you know, a loser.
This is intentional, right?
They need conflict.
Otherwise, no one's going to watch the show.
And so what happens when couples don't want to go near each other?
I would honestly describe this as a process of gaslighting.
And it's not just women.
On the most recent season of Max America, a man expresses incredible unease with the fact that his onscreen wife keeps trying to initiate sex with him and he doesn't want to have sex with her.
They're encouraged to work through their issues.
They're encouraged to try and find things that they find attractive about each other, see if they can make the relationship work.
And I would define that as actually very coercive.
These are people saying quite clearly,
I'm not attracted to this person.
I don't want to have sex with them.
And instead of producers saying, okay, well, this is clearly a bad match.
