This time (overdoing) or dying.
In the new reality series "The One That Got Away", a group of singles will be sent back to the date drawing board. idea? To see if the sparks fly — again — miss the connection from the past.
Premiered on June 24th in theAmazon Prime video, hosted bysinger Betty Who, the show will follow six contestants. Each faces the "portal". This is the entrance to a cloud-covered set of dry ice for the biggest drama.
As each Wannabe enthusiast waits nervously, water echoes in the background, suspenseful music plays, and someone in the past emerges from the fog — a childhood friend, law school. Crushing, flirtation from work meetings, old college colleague.
"I'm already suffering from anxiety, so when I was walking through this ridiculous scene of fog, my heart was definitely throbbing. I was ... waiting for people to arrive there the moment I was standing, "said New JerseyTwitch Streamerand Kasey, 28, one of the show's singles. Told.
"It's horrifying and very mind-boggling. You can only see the silhouette of a man. It's like a horror movie. You ask," Who is this? He Are you here to kill me or are you trying to love me?'”
New York-based travel blogger Jeff, 28, is another single on the show.
"I've never seen anyone do a show like this," he told the post.
"For example, if someone participates in"The Bachelor", it's all new [they date]. All the people who came for me are established connections. I may know their family. So we play the "What do you do for work? Where do you live?" Game. Skip the first three days of conversation and jump into "Compatibility" ... continue. It was a really intense experience.
Jeff's connections ranged from childhood friends who knew him before he came out as gay, to men who went to clubs on vacation, to acquaintances at work.
"Some people [come through the portal] I knew longer, some people knew a shorter time, some people I knew only one day." He said.
"The period wasn't that important. I was like," Where are you today? " I wasn't the same person as 5 years ago, I was straight 7 years ago! So it was interesting to see how they differ and get their perspective on how I differ as a person. Just because you didn't connect many years ago doesn't mean you can't connect today.
Singles such as Jeff and Kasey are given the opportunity to go on a date with a lost connection and see if there is a spark. But every time a single gets into the ditch with the person it's dating, the portal spits out someone from the past and shakes things.
"I've always had a serious monogamy relationship, so the whole idea of finding a lost connection from the past is It was very attractive. I was 16 years old, "Casey said. "The longest break I had during the [relationship] was probably 6 months ... maybe there are people in my past that I've never seen again. I think it's quite possible. I think it was a better foundation for future conversations, thanks to the same school, the same job that connects us. "
Casey wondered who would appear in the show, but the result was He said it was unpredictable.
"Some people were surprised at all this effort when I appeared," she said.
