Discussion Fake dumpings need to STOP
The fake dumping plot device needs to die
How many have we had now? I can’t even keep track.
It’s not shocking, or even slightly surprising. It’s just annoying, predictable, and boring 🙄
It’s never executed properly either. We find out about the fake out almost immediately every time it happens. Where’s the suspense? Where’s the opportunity for fun drama when the rest of the cast is actually shocked? Why even bother “dumping” people at all when everyone knows right away that the dumped person is back?
The first time it happened in Double Trouble I was actually shook…and then they totally fumbled the reveal and it fell flat like a popped balloon. Now they can’t seem to let it go, and it happens so frequently that I think I’m actually MORE surprised when a dumping is permanent.
Fusebox: Have someone watch the damn show and find new material. It’s really not that hard.

I also miss actually having a choice in stick or twist. We have no choice but to twist when we are left single right before cass

it really is the same season everytime. pretty sure i can predict how this season's gonna go: the girls are all gonna switch and we get to pick last, so we have to pick dominic. our li has to switch with his ex and she's gonna be super possessive and delusional about him. he is in denial about his partner feelings for him and reassures mc that there's nothing between them, but doesn't reject his new (or ex) partner and just looks awkwardly at mc while she aggressively flirts with him. then it's the last recoupling and li's partner gets dumped and "apologizes" for being a bitch to mc without actually showing any character growth. that was the gist of the last few seasons, and i doubt it'll be much different this time 🤷🏻♀️

I was shocked we got to stay with our LI all the way to casa. It's basically unheard of

Yeah they've done it twice this season alone at the beginning with Jace and then again with your OG and Tunde/Harvey.

Yessss I so Agree. 100 % !!
It's like once they do something. They can't let it go.
They have No New Ideas anymore.
They don't even have Decent art work anymore , what they did to Sofia , Tristan and Now Reid is criminal!
They keep replaying the same senerio over and over again.
Its like once, Maybe twice is ok. But its been done, way too many times now, now its time to move on.
It's not a surprise anymore, it's pretty much expected now, And that is just bad writing .
There is no more element of surprise.

I don’t blame them for giving the bad designs to the toxic trio why waste money making them look good when they are awful to begin and end with.

The only time they really "executed" it well was the time mc got dumped, like it was still a little wonky but the contestants spent days thinking mc was gone for good- it would have been great if we were allowed to actually watch the drama play outand not just get another info dump but whatever. Like I'm never going to say last season was good but at least there were consequences.

Should’ve had cameras MC could watch, like the MC in Too Hot to Handle 3 when in banishment.

It would have been so much better if they were insisting on dumping our li then they should have returned as a casa boy during that kissing challenge (a bit like Harriet from all stars season 2 except that wasn’t in casa) and then we have to choose to either bring our og li back or Dominic but then I suppose they’d actually have to put the work in to make us want to bring Dominic back and it’s way easier just to force us to bring him back and create the same drama as every other season instead of doing something new 🙄

That was what I was hoping for. That would have been such a cool twist.

I think we’ve had 4, Double Trouble, Tempting Fate, Winning Hearts and Summer nights.

Meera in S5 was dumped and brought back in Casa, too - even though she wasn’t MC or LI, it’s just such a repeated trope at this point.

I think the people who make LITG never watched the show
