Netflix’s Wildest Dating Show Is Blowing Up Over One Scandalous Kiss
If there’s one thing you can count on while watching a dating show, it’s that, if there are two sides to some scandalous event that might or might not have happened, the producers will never tell you who’s lying. Take, for example, this week’s batch of Perfect Match episodes on Netflix. Did perennial F-boy Harry Jowsey actually kiss Too Hot to Handle star Melinda Berry during a guys’ retreat, despite being in a relationship with Love Is Blind alum Jessica Vestal? Or is Harry telling the truth when he claims that Melinda made it all up to cause drama? We, the confused viewers at home, might never know!
For the uninitiated, the premise of Perfect Match is simple: Dozens of oiled-up Netflix stars gather at a gorgeous villa in the hopes of finding a partner. Each night, they must choose who to “match” with, and in the morning, the couples face compatibility challenges. Whoever wins each challenge gets control of the boardroom, which means they can send fellow contestants on blind dates with new people. In the end, the couple voted most compatible wins bragging rights and a free vacation.
During his time on Too Hot to Handle, Harry made his name as a player. At the start of his run on Perfect Match, he bragged that the winning couple from last season—Georgia Hasserati and Dominic “Dom” Gabriel—broke up after Georgia cheated with him. He now claims that he’s healed himself through therapy and self-help books and is ready to find a real, lasting love, but his actions tell a different story.
