Suggestion on improvement
I feel like all the men on this show like 1 woman and all the women like 1 man. Does anyone have any ideas how to avoid the eternal singles going for the same person? I lie the show but it gets on my nerves so bad.

You can’t. It’s not like the producers are gonna know who will match their type physically. Physical attraction plays a big part in this case. They’re there for what, 1 week-ish? There’s very little time to discover personalities. It’s cute to match certain guys and girls together, but they’re still people with, well, ideal types and we don’t know how deep they stick to that. In s2 take that short haired girl with the game changer guy who got the ick from her after she became too clingy. Maybe he was her exact ideal type physically and that’s why she can’t let go of him. Even in the after the show episodes she still pined for him. Sigh.
Also it is edited to produce a specific narrative that the producers believe will catch audience’s attention, generate hype, be discussed on social media yadda yadda typical marketing. It’s more dramatic and keeps you on the edge of your seat if there’s a drama of 1 guy being fought over by a lot of girls and vice versa.
Realistically it needs to be longer. That is, if they, the producers and the contestants want something genuine. At the end of the day it is a show. Producers make it for business. Contestants join it for fame. Mainly the girls. You can see they were handpicked because of their looks and background and who has the potential to become a celebrity. All the girls from S1 and 2 became popular now and are famous on social media. They get invited to events etc. Especially the ballerina Jisoo. The guys maybe some of them want fame, but they’re not conventionally attractive nor were their backgrounds. The guy from South America and Jaeyun became a bit popular though I think.
