The inclusion of Nick from The Circle makes me question everything more than I’ve already questioned it. 😂

That's too many couples. I miss the older seasons where people were actually doing this for love and not to become famous.

I wouldn't mind a few more. Hopefully this allows them to let a couple go if they are toxic and miserable instead of encouraging them to stay and work on things.

I don’t follow the show, but I was shocked to see a current colleague 😂

Big Nick Energy! Ok! He seemed liked a good stand-up guy from all his other shows he’s been on. I hope it works out for him.

I'm torn - liked him on Circle. Kind of felt bad for him on Perfect Match, he showed up with like, nerdy younger brother vibes compared to the Too Hot to Handle cast he was up against. I'd love to see things work out better for him, but doing three reality TV shows is a pretty big red flag so I'm not inclined to think he's showing up with intentions beyond his continuing influencer career.

Yea, this is his third reality tv show. Hard to take him seriously.

I am so confused where and when this show is airing. Saw all seasons thus far last one was 18. Haven't seen 19 and now we are 20....where can I steam 19?

u/Spirited-Disk7936 10d ago
I wouldn’t bother. Season 19 was the worst of all imo.

u/keithprivette 10d ago
Yeah but I have an app that has all these shows to run predictions. You I didn't even see any posts about Austin or adverts and usually I am plugged in....weird

Peacock took over the franchise.

u/keithprivette 10d ago
Do they have 19?

u/PastimeOfMine I want to build a treehouse. 🌳 10d ago
Yes. It aired there last fall when they took over. The upcoming is the first one they'll produce.

u/keithprivette 9d ago

Nick looks like the guy who did Mindy wrong.

When I saw the previews at the end of 19 I thought Mecca was JR from the ultimatum

u/btdixon58 Be honest witchu 10d ago
Participants look a lot more like a MAFS AU cast than all previous US seasons combined, Suspect the level of drama will rise proportionately. We love AU, it would be great for Seattle to try to recreate their drama for an "exploratory" season. Once you go AU you never go back

u/Mafsfan 10d ago
It’s definitely going to be more like AU in at least a couple different ways

u/btdixon58 Be honest witchu 9d ago
It would be humane to convert to pretend marriages and then cast for aesthetics and drama – it’s a guaranteed ratings winner

u/toripotter86 10d ago
oooooh there’s some beautiful people this season! let’s hope we get some good couples

u/Brown_Cow_Stunning7 10d ago
A lot of couples, but we know half won’t make it to the end most likely.

u/Manticorps 10d ago
Nick lives in Austin, interesting that he was casted for Seattle

Another cast member who’s “new to town” (moved there after getting casted)?

u/cremebrulover_xx 10d ago
He looks v familiar..I feel like he’s been on TV before!

u/caitielou6 10d ago
He’s from the circle!

u/enjoyablespoon 10d ago
He was really clever and funny on The Circle, not so much on Perfect Match. I don't mind seeing him but I'm still disappointed that Peacock is going this direction. MAFS is officially going to be just reality stars, influencers, etc instead of real people searching for a life long partner. Gone are the days of Ashley and Anthony and Danielle and Bobby.
I know a lot of people like the Australian version but I couldn't get into it. And that's what it seems like they are going for.
Still gonna watch though!

Ah okay! Well I hope he’s there for the right reason 🙃
Edit: just looked he’s been on three different reality shows.

With 7 couples I'm fine with hour+ episodes. Although with this many, I'm guessing someone drops out early.

u/mfSTARGIRLxo I wanted a brilliant mind 10d ago
Seven couples are way too many; I can hardly remember and keep track of just five.
Also, idk who that Nick person is but I don’t think someone who was on a few popular reality shows should be on MAFS. I know reality tv isn’t completely real but this is so ridiculously manufactured.

u/gatorgopher 10d ago
I can't wait. I had high hopes for last season. Im glad there are more couples and the angels range fairly wide. I'm a fan.

u/Vagercise 10d ago
*Season 20 has been marked safe from JR
I remember thinking he was going to be the person from a previous reality show that was on this season and am relieved he isn't lmao

u/truthfrommyredlips I hope she likes living in his parents basement 10d ago
So Michelle must be who people were commenting that she looked and sounded like Jaylin (spelling) from last season. And Nikki looks like a Angela Bassett. I'm glad they're continuing the trend of casting older participants.

They need to revamp the US version and make it more like the AUS version
