I think the editing is really bad this year, either purposefully or ignorantly missing out important chunks of one relationship in particular. Let me know when you get to homestays because i have some thoughts. Can't post them yet as they would sort of be spoilers

…oh I’m intrigued as to which relationship that is that important parts are ‘t being highlighted enough, I’ll for sure let you know when the home stays begin…(…I think in general, though…)…as much as I love the Australian edition, I can see that it’s so watchable because they kind of manufacture and manipulate their storylines over actually following the relationships and their development…?..it’s been too many editions now with the cast at the time screaming ‘misrepresent…!!!!!!!’….and it seems to follow those social media labels and focuses of that time…there was a groom a few editions ago, I honestly can’t recall his name but he was such a gaslighter at a time when that was the buzz phrase of the time…and now we have Tyson when manosphere and misogyny is such a growing topic …and then the female group bullying led by Brook and Gia, which seems to be unclear if it’s ’producer directed’….I mean it’s all explosive viewing…but I’m not sure whether any of it portrays any accuracy about the relationships …many of them seem to flow well but then it’s revealed how badly they’ve ended or the opposite of being portrayed as quite emotionally unstable but it’s revealed that they’re still together…I’m still addicted obviously……but yeah, I’m obviously not buying into the format allowing for ‘true authentic selves’ (as they say…)…being shown, either…
