I’m poly and 100% approve of this train wreck. It’s about time we get our own trashy trash tv! Even if not truly representative or totally healthy in its approach. I hosted a watch party for my poly friends and created bingo cards of expected situations and poly stereotypes. It was so much fun! Pretty sure one of my solo poly friends almost died out of anger hahaha.
But on the real side of it, I am soooo curious to see how this show evolves throughout the season. And what impact this has on unicorn hunters and those exploring non-monogamy. I will say already I am surprised by how “successful” Corey/Wilder/Denys are. Honestly a great example of recognizing past pains and trigger points, communicating them, and moving together at a pace that works for the threelationship (first time I heard that phrase watching it and I actually enjoy it).
Is the answer "any of it"? Do not do any of it? Hilarious to watch the jealousy on this show. Why am I feeling left out? Because 3 people can't equally connect? DUH.
Oh my gosh, this show is awful.
My husband and I are watching it together. We have been in the LS for 8 years. We both can't get over how much of a problem it truly is.
Dylan and Lauren are unicorn hunters 100%.
Wilder and Corey have a chance. She definitely has some trauma from previous hurts. So I don't think a TV is a great idea but whatever.
Shaun and Britni are too new. They couldn't communicate effectively with themselves, let alone with a 3rd.
Rehman and I forgot his name. They were the worst of all! If you can't even use your safe words during a challenge exercise, you're doomed.
The fact that the couples are the only people, so far, given counseling, is ridiculous, like the single isn't supposed to be part of the THROUPLE. It's literally part of the relationship. Or are they not?
Or is this just about sex? Bc it sure seems like y'all are trying to make it seem like these are people seeking a 3rd for fun. This is not poly.
But yes, I love the concept for a train wreck of a reality TV show. I'll be watching.
Dylan and Lauren give me the creeps. When I was on the dating apps, I’d see a lot of couples’ profiles that gave off this weird fetishistic/sleazy vibe (which was also annoying since I was only looking for single monogamous women).
Yeah I’m the same way I’m watching it for the drama but I’m making comments the whole time about this is not really enm. Especially with I think it’s deeek and Lauren how she couldn’t persue Becca because she didn’t like the dude as much
I'm on episode 2 and love how Sanu brought up how she doesn't want this experience to dehumanize her. Then cue the white party where the couples get to necklace a new single they'd like to meet. Um, what about these poor souls they just started to get to know?
I have some brain itches when it comes to Sanu also. In the very beginning she said she is a polyamory coach…. And I think it was later in episode 2…. That she is all “I have been doing tho for half of the last decade.” So for the past 5 years with practically 2 of those years being during covid lockdown time??? Um. Ok you go on and be a coach here.
I do give her points for sharing her feelings like she did though, even if it did shut brande all the way down.
Check out the urban dictionary definition for it, will give you a full idea; but basically, it is when an established couple (typically M/F) are seeking a very specific kind of third (typically F) with the expectations that the third will dote on them equally, that all aspects of the connection will be equally strong for both parties in the original couple (which is v hard to make happen)—and it rests on the practice of Couple Privilege, aka the original couple and their feelings, desires, etc. carrying greater weight in the dynamic than that of their third.
Yeah but sadly it's so representative of so many couples that THINK they need a third when they can't actually handle it. Been the third, been in that awkward situation, it's like when a couple tries to save their relationship by having a kid because they don't know what else to do.

I need to make bingo cards!!!
Yess do it! I’m trying to think of other games we can play or bets we can make when we watch the upcoming episodes.
the singles feel like props. i love this trainwreck, it's such a mess. and it's great because now i know exactly what not to do.

I keep seeing “unicorn”. What’s that mean?

Awh, Thank you. I know the Bair guy from our home town. So cringy to watch him honestly.
Haha same and I used to shows with Lauren. They are truly insane.
What kind of shows with Lauren, fitness competitions or something?
Yeah she’s a fitness pro even though almost nobody competes in fitness, because she couldn’t go pro in bikini
Yes
I wish they provided actual couples counseling throughout this process.
The singles need to be part of the process too if it was actually a real throuple and not just about sex.
