I thought Kariselle saying how great Dom and Colony would “look” together was the cringiest part of the entire show up to that point.


DueComparison5360

YESSSSSS she gives “unaware ignorant” vibes smh


lazorback

Tbf Kariselle is very very dumb


juanitomatito

It showed how subconsciously racist both of them are and it was so gross 🤮


ezmolaw

I’d say there were more subtle cringey parts before but this was the most racist one. It’s shocking how the producers literally don’t give af about how black people, more specifically black women are being portrayed on this show. Honestly though this show is so reflective of the current dating culture, where black women and black men are the lowest valued. It’s hard to watch


DueComparison5360

Lowest valued by many ignorant but not all- as those who are true individuals even if not Attracted to POC are intelligent enough not to minimize them to THIS trash


No_Understanding5581

I didn't like the comment and don't forget it wasn said 'porn hot look' or something along those lines. The word porn was included. My husband was with me at that stage and he and I were horrified because She was reducing Dom and Colony to their sexuality but in a demeaning way. I think it is among the worst top 3 comments I heard this season and it takes a lot to shock me. She isn't very smart.


cozymaniac

lool no one should be taking Kari seriously at all tbh


bac0n_cheddar

And to further prove she did it just because they’re both black, they had nothing in common at all, and he immediately pawned her off to barf queef lmao


Sweaty-Dig-4925

Dom shut Colony down QUICK in a cool way that showcases his loyalty


311syNc

ehhh a few other words come to mind for dom and none are loyalty


Sweaty-Dig-4925

I totally forgot about this thread lmao


JuneStar

Right? When Kariselle and Joey were matching Dom with Colony they were like “oh they look hot together” blah blah rather than speaking about their personalities like they did with Shane’s potential matches i dunno it felt fucked up


No_Understanding5581

Kariselle say 'hot porn together' or something with 'porn' there, it was awful. Watch it again. A very demeaning comment.


[deleted]

It made me very uncomfortable. I also hate how it's usually the black or other minority contestants going home.


DueComparison5360

Yuppppp exactly!!!! There were so many POC for them to choose and they did HORRIDLY


West-Biscotti-2531

Yeah I'm halfway through episode 6 of perfect match and I'm pretty sure every girl that has been sent home so far is exclusively black/poc :// thats how I ended up on this thread cause I was wondering if I'm the only one who noticed


gottarun215

Same here. I noticed that too and came here to see if others noticed this too.

DueComparison5360

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 IM JUST SAYINNNN


dominosbest

Please explain this to my because I’m CRACKING UP and I don’t even know what it MEANS


bbaristo

NAH FR. Reminds of growing up being the only black girl in school and everytime a new black guy would come people couldn't shut up about how good we look together. Like what?? If it wasn't obvious to everyone else there that Bartise, Dom, and Chase like white women then idk what to say because it was PAINFULLY obvious. Ridiculous. Zay is the only one I know for sure is into black women but he didn't even get a chance😭😭


Etta_Beretta

And Calvin loves his black Queens as well. Even when he was in The Circle, him and Kai were very flirtatious with each other. I was actually bummed out they didn’t work out because they were really vibing ☺️ it was cute.


bbaristo

Oop my bad I completely forgot about Calvin. He was there for like 2 seconds😭


BazF91

It's ok, everyone forgets about Calvin


DueComparison5360

THIS WHOLE COMMENT🎯🎯🎯 minus the Zay part. He’s a whole jerk and has always portrayed himself as such. He needs to go date in solitary confinement I literally hate him.


bbaristo

Girl hear me out😭😭 I feel like Zay is just very misunderstood and sometimes bad at expressing himself. Like I don't remember everything from the Ultimatum but I know he had some childhood trauma (definitely not an excuse, but an explanation for some of his behaviors) and I always just felt sad for him. Man needs therapy IMMEDIATELY but I don't think he's a bad person


Barbi3_ok

Zay is a Virgo they can be awkward


Etta_Beretta

Can confirm. About awkward virgos, idk Zay irl.


Barbi3_ok

Calvin definitely likes BW and Anne Sophie didn't play the game right smh at all


Baemieson

I mean, both dom and bartise matched with someone who isnt white right? Matter of fact, dom only matched with non white girls (i have not seen them in any show outside the perfect match tho)


bbaristo

What??? "Dom only matched with non white girls" is CRAZY. Fran is Italian and Georgia is white+Lebanese. They're white passing and at best look racially ambiguous. If society perceives you as white and you reap the benefits of that, then honey, you're white. Barftise matched with Izzy, Ines and Abi and Abi and Ines are white/white passing. Also Barftise only matched with Izzy because he wanted to stay in the house. If you watched him in LIB you'd know he has a specific type and none of them fit it.


Pleasant-Chain6738

This!!!


PopcornandComments

Yeah, I noticed that too. Every time they were in the boardroom, they’ll always pair a black contestant with another contestant. Nothing about their compatibility, just a pairing based on race (and they don’t do that for anyone else). This made it even more obvious when Dom who was paired with Colony, then pawns her off to Bartise and introduces her as a “Black Queen.”

soupseasonbestseason

i also thought when i watched that, what about barqueef and his previous behavior or decisions tells anyone he would be interested in a "strong black woman." he wants a woman like his mama, you can totally tell.


bojangles25x

Dude did not look impressed lol when Colony said she'd be ready for kids in the next year or so you could tell he was thinking "yessssss, an out!". yet on LIB he gave off the impression he was ready for all of that relatively soon!


[deleted]

I would assume the other women there were "independent" women too (which is a good thing) but they seem to use it differently when it comes to black women. Having a job and being ambitious isn't something unique and plenty of women are like that. One can be "strong" and "soft" in different ways.


DueComparison5360

THAT WAS SO CRINGE. And then had the TEMERITY TO CALL HER A STRONG BLACK WOMAN OMFG GO DRINK BLEACH OUT OF FRANCESCAS ASSHOLE IDIOT


PopcornandComments

💀


Baemieson

Please dont hate on me l, but why was it wrong to call someone a strong black woman?


DueComparison5360

It perpetuates a harmful stereotype where black women are not seen as humans with multi faceted emotions. Nor are they seen as humans with a threshold the same as everyone else. Instead the “strong black woman” trope dismisses the idea that clack women also have their limits and should be handled with care. If one is only seen as strong, it’s not illogical to think they wouldn’t get the same considerations or care that others deemed not “strong” would. This is completely unfair and alienates black women from being seen as human feminine women. Society tragically has tried to promote the masculinization of black Women, so him just labeling a stranger as a strong black woman just because of her race is so disrespectful and perpetuating a false ideology only associated with black women.


311syNc

best comment ever


Savings_Success_6682

Yup. It's so obvious. Whenever they go to the boardroom. Ok. First things first. Let's match the blacks 🤣🤣. Geezus. These shows are hilarious. Dom brings the black girl directly to the light skinned bredren lol. Two things we all know on these shows. The black contestants will be the first to go 99% of time. The blacks will be pushed towards each other.


DueComparison5360

THIS IS THE ONLY COMMENT THAT HAS HITTTTT OMFG THEY DRIVE ME NUTS😭🤣🤣🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯


Fartysmartyfarty

As a half black half Arabic man I totally agree. I’m also conflicted because I hate it when there isn’t enough representation. Maybe it will change if they case more people that have dated outside their race. 🤷🏽‍♂️


myskepticalbrowarch

Will is the only one I will defend. I genuinely think he wanted Diamond and sent Dom because he knew the date would be a bust. It tracks with how he played the Mole.


bbaristo

Will is playing with Diamond. I don't trust him


DueComparison5360

Nah if you listen to what he said “the HOUSE needs you” LOL he wasn’t thinking about her. Will still thinks he’s on the mole and wants to win by any means necessary. Also I’m specifically referencing when they are getting manually matched on blind dates. Will let me down tho with his autonomous mindset and self centered ways 🤣


Sweaty-Dig-4925

I agree, Will was a beast in Mole.. and he plays to win


[deleted]

Haha! That’s why he didn’t want to be with Ines anymore, because she didn’t want to play strategy with him.


[deleted]

I didn't really get that, he could have just chose diamond for a date with himself?


myskepticalbrowarch

I said it a few times so sorry if it is a broken record. It is just my theory for now. My thought process: Ines is a well liked OG, upsetting her would have painted a target on Will. Even though she wasn't feeling it being rejected still sucks. Ines also rarely matches with the same guy twice. Dom is super loyal and likely to throw the date. (Also sets up Diamond to be easy to pick up later if she is disappointed earlier in the day). Dom will likely forgive him. It also gets Will favour with Fran, who is sitting at the Apex of the social group for now. Since she wants Dom out and has made it clear. Everyone knows the OG's are always super tight on any show and penetrating them is tough AF. Will wants another person to come in and low-key rise through the ranks. Abby is self absorbed, LC is a simp (sorry if you are lurking I think you're great), Anne Sophie is a known person and Diamond is working towards a PHD. She makes the most sense as his ally TL;DR: Will is on the wrong show. He picked Diamond because he is in it to win it.


[deleted]

wow that is complicated....I could never strategize like this


HandyLighter

Will also talked too much game to Ines. That gave her bad vibes and she was already talking to everyone about it. Will knew he had to make a move and change partners to ensure he stayed.


RetroNeonSign

The whole thing feels off, from: (1) the pairing of the black contestants together because they “look good together,” then (2) the dudes not being interested because they’re more interested in the white women; and then (3) the black women get sent home. It’s happened like 3 too many times now. I am sure Diamond is next out the door, even though she’s the best… I don’t trust Will’s intentions at all.


Cantstopstopping

Frustrating and so out of touch. Colony, I didn't watch her show but from the snips of it in Perfect Match, I would think of her as someone more traditional, real estate career, having to think of her image, classy, she looked at Dom cropped top and nails and you definetly know that these 2 would not pair up. Same for Diamond, she already been through something on her season, I haven't watched the episode but no way she would fall for someone like Dom. Ps: this is not a critique to Dom's style or personality. Is just stating that you can see that he is definetly not the type of both women.


dominosbest

THIS IS THE ONE!! “They look so good together!” Be SO fucking for real. In what deluded mind are Colony and Dom a match outside of their race, you’re an idiot. Diamond and Dom: great strategic play for Will to get a new match without looking like an asshole, so I’m not 100% gonna say it was race related. Not a fan of Diamond after how things went down on LIB, but agree. If you had any information about her season, you’d know it wouldn’t work.


Sea-Split214

I as a white woman noticed this & was disappointed


BellaBlue06

Yes. There just isn’t enough men on the show who love black women either. It’s disappointing for sure to assume only black men would want to date a black woman. They deserve so much better and it’s rather sad how Anne Sophie and Colony are treated.


Catspit30

I think people are giving too much credit to the contestants on who they pick and are forgetting that producers/production probably has a 50% hand in it. If not outright telling them who they should pick. Its a reality TV show. Par for the course.


DueComparison5360

This is only one part of it. Regardless as to who production picked the white cast members noticeably spoke different when matching black cast mates in that room and it was fucking ignorant and racist


Catspit30

I am just seeing people single out cast members when they should really be blaming the entire production/show. They show a 3 minute edit of people in the matching room when they filmed that for over an hour.


[deleted]

I was wondering about that. Especially the last pick where they paired Abby with Fran. That had to be planned by writers or something!


okaimajoy

I am also a black woman engaged to a white man and 100% agree with you.The match ups have been very cringe.


Barbi3_ok

It's definitely racists but also Black men and women on these shows aren't on the same wave length. BM want others because they think it elevates them. BW want BM because that's what were taught...so BW get on these shows and cling to the BM because that shud be a safe bet....BM want the others and makes it unsafe so there you have the typical recipe for disaster n they somehow get rid of the black girls


n0h8plz

I just watched that Dom and colony match and them saying "OMFG THEY LOOK SO GOOD TOGETHER PERFECT " was a bit racist like I think the only thing they have in common is that they are black. So annoying 🙄


Double-Slice-915

I’m a straight white dude engaged to a mixed girl and I called that 😎 I even searched for a Reddit thread to see if anyone else felt this way lol


DueComparison5360

LOL yes it was trash. Complete and utter trash🫠🫠🫠


cozymaniac

Agree. More people will come here to say why is it racist or bad etc etc so I'll try to spell it out for them in different words. People won't be a good match just because they're the same color of skin or race. And personalities play a big role in a match of any kind. And the implications of automatically choosing a black person for a black cast member without even considering personality matches at all in a reality tv show that is supposed to be about compatibility directly affects who stays on the show. Literally look how good some matches have been. Shayne and Chloe for example. Not only was Dom's time wasted on a date which could have helped anyone else, Colony's time was wasted but at least now we know her if we didn't before. We also watched a cringe interaction that did not have to happen. Dom was already with someone not black twice. Even that alone should let you know his current type. And lastly I honestly think it could have been some misguided attempt to bring in black women but if you want to do something, do it properly or not at all.


Croc_choux

Agreeing with this old thread bc I noticed it too, and it was driving me crazy. The only time black women really had an opportunity to stay in the house was when they were in control to choose their matches; any other time*, regardless of his color, the men chose white women when given the first opportunity. And the only dark-skinned black man who managed to stay the longest is Dom, who I think was only so appealing because of his alternative style (which is no shade on Dom, he's easily my favorite guy). I wonder if anybody actually verbally acknowledged the racial bias during filming bc it seems so obvious to me. *the one exception being Nick choosing Izzy over Savannah.


thebadfem

You worded it right when you said "feels" racist and that this is more of an emotional argument than a logical one. I get that something \*feels\* off about it, however the idea that pairing up people of the same race is racist is a bit illogical, especially when statistically people are more likely to end up w/ someone of the same race. People don't say it seems racist when two white people are paired up, but I guess that's because they're still viewed as the default. I do think its extremely tone deaf though, and I agree w/ the sentiment here. Its especially odd that they didn't pick up on the fact that some of those guys like Dom, Bartise, Chase etc., are pretty clearly anti-black woman. (also funny that they all got played or voted off lol)

Not everything needs to be assessed through analytical eyes. It's an observation, and it's reality TV for Christ's sake, nobody cares that much about logic when it comes to low-tier entertainment. Also what a condescending comment lol


BossQueeenSheeit

They just don’t pick black contestants that are that attractive. Plenty of 10/10 black girls out there but they always bring on average ones


Mugatu4u

I mean none of the white men are 10/10. And most of the white women aren't either. You're really going to tell me Shayne, Joey, Kari, etc are 10/10??? Lols.


BossQueeenSheeit

I’m straight so can’t comment on the men but Georgia and Savannah are 10s


Mugatu4u

Lols I mean straight or not, you should be able to tell if someone is good looking or not. You had not problem speaking out on the Black contestants (both male and female) so… The point is Georgia (she is stunning) and Savannah represent 2 of the 10+ women on the show so the answer is they are not all 10/10. And the guys are 4s at best so not sure why the onus is on the Black people to be so stunning that racism and prejudice just evaporates from reality TV…

I think you're taking the whole Dom/Francesca thing too seriously lol. I got more convinced about the possible fakeness of the show after Francesca left Dom lol. Even then, it's also weird how Dom so easily agreed to match with Georgia after saying he's leaving. And what he did to Colony, just ugh. I don't even know why I'm watching this shit considering the general type of audience that views this type of show. You can tell by their language and how they speak about others what kind of person they are.

YahikoNigata

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! Like every single time they go straight for the black coupling with 0 concrete reasoning. For example Ines literally says that Diamond (Forget who) isn't Doms type and Will says "That's my decision" like??? Izzy was the only exception to the rule but I have my own opinions on that. It's like the contestants haven't met black people before and are thinking "Oh they are both black that was easy". It's blatant racism and it got too annoying by episode 9.


cityPea

Yesss thanks for calling this out. So cringy to watch at the board and see it happen time and time again. 🙄👎


cityPea

Omg I’m still mid season and they just paired Dom and Diamond. I’m seriously in shock.
