I struggle with severe anxiety and I love these dating/reality show so much. But when I watch it sometimes it can trigger my anxiety bc my little heart just can’t it. I watch spoilers all the time bc I have to know what happens next. But watching these along with you has made a huge difference in my daily anxiety. It’s not so scary watching it with yall and I don’t skip as much! So thank so much for all that you do!!🤍🤍
I skip all the time, too! No shame ❤ As much as I love people-watching, I have to skip some of those moments, they can be sooooo much! I love the parasocial watching together, too, though, for sure ❤
This is literally the best comment we could have gotten. Weve both suffered from panic attacks and anxiety and now are mostly past it. Im so glad that you feel comfortable watching with is ❤️
I can relate to this. I feel better knowing the outcome, almost comforted. I like to process. Wow. I just figured out how people get time stamps o n their comments. No lie. 😮😅😊😊😊
VANESSA is the most beau human being. She deserves all the happiness in the world. What a sweet person. I’m so glad the producers cast her in the series, not just unbalanced, petty, bitter women who were also cast. I hope Brazilian tv or media give her a chance to share her great persona and infectious happiness!! Brava, Vanessa!!!❤❤❤
Ariela is giving me strong soap opera actress vibes she's very dramatic.. I think if her trust issues are not great as we are seeing here she should have left the way Andre did previously because he knew this wouldn't be good for him this time in his life. Keep seeing poster comments on here running her down big time so things must get even worse than this episode and not better with this couple. I didn't like how Ingrid got sent in to basically ambush Leandro's family because it does not give her a fair introduction like the other couples.
This was not a Trevor situation. Ariella has trust issues and is projecting. Evandro was indeed honest. He texted the girl he used to hook up with "I'm going on love is blind Talk to you after," and he told her he found someone and was engaged. He couldn't say "going on love is blind don't ever talk to me again." He ended things when he had to.
Yeah the majority of people who go on the show don't make it out of the pods. I even think if it was a friend-with-benefits situation that a more secure partner would be fine with some amount of contact between them, so "going on a reality show, goodbye forever" wouldn't make any sense for him to have said. It's kind of like saying "I'm going on a first date, never contact me again." "Red flag" is too strong, but I'd think that was pretty weird if I found out someone said that.
I think Ariela does not trust easily and her biases were confirmed by Evandro's post-pod disclosures and she is pissed about that. She feels like she chose very, very wrong and is upset that she messed up. She built a connection with a version of Evandro that is not real. Also a relative basically described Ariela is either really, really happy or not. Another said she is very emotional. Not sure why no-one stopped her from applying to this show.
Ariella is so so toxic - sure we don’t know what went on behind the scenes but if you fight and create the drama with everyone, it’s a fair assumption that the problem is you and not everyone else. She seems to create issues out of nothing, is incredibly self-centred and not able to truly reflect on her own accountability or actions. Even her own family have warned Evandro about her… she would do well to sort herself out in therapy before trying to get into a relationship of any kind.
You made me want to binge the rest of the available episodes so I could be in on the action with your comments. I prefer the original Portuguese voices but i understand people wanting the dub.
Have you ? (I got all excite by reading your comment) I watch all 8 episodes with the original Portuguese, it was easier for me for the feelings and the pronunciation. Now, I can keep up with a few words here and there :).
I definitely prefer subtitles , dubbed version feels so unnatural 😅 I admire how much grace you gave Ariella. These days people just throw out diagnoses left and right, it’s so stupid and stigmatizing to people with actual issues. Imo, Ariella was definitely out of line. Even if her feelings stem from previous bad experience or/and her insecurities she shouldn’t lash out on him like that. I fully agree with you that at one point no matter what that man would’ve said- the only truth she would’ve accepted was her assumptions about him. I also think he wasn’t completely innocent. He didn’t clarify this relationship to its full complexity in the pods, he tried to brush it off like “past is past” and I understood her hesitation in the sense that how he treated last girl he had “situation-ship” with could indicate something in his present relationship. For me, it would be just like a little note to be careful, not a full yelling session.
Ariela just doesnt like the fact that evandro is a black man, she also told that her mother and grandma wont accept this relationship . I mean she is just looking for an excuse to end the relationship with him . Also ariela ended up with a former cast member off this show from the previous season and he is THE chernoboy . Hugs from brasil .
when you listen to the Portugese with subtitles, you can hear words here and there and it's a beautiful language. Subtitles please! Enjoying your discussions!
Thanks for the video, so thrilled you’re reviewing the Brazil version! I highly recommend watching the previous 3 seasons of Brazil, great casts and beautiful honeymoon locations. From what we’ve seen so far on S4, I preferred the previous seasons. About the language, I like the subtitles. As someone else said in the comments, it sounds like another show when dubbed 😅 But maybe I’m not being fair because I speak Spanish and it’s similar to Portuguese, so for me it’s easy to watch in the original language with subtitles. I do that in general with all shows anyway, I feel listening to the original language gives a better sense of the emotions. But of course I’m all good with whatever most people want and works best for the channel! About the honeymoon night cam, I’d prefer they didn’t show it as much or at all. It’s the only thing I don’t love about the Brazil version. As far as Ariela or other participants maybe being unsure of how much would be aired, if they’ve watched the previous seasons they’d know beforehand what to expect because it’s been the same way since S1.
I appreciate your compassion with Ariela , I think a lot of people are going to throw her under the bus. I know what it's like to spiral out of my rational mind like it appears she is doing. I agree, she's just not in a good place to pursue a relationship like this right now in her life. I have compassion for her because it's a feeling that literally takes hold of yourself and it is very hard to get out. I hope she's doing better now.
I watch with subtitles so I don’t mind if the review is dubbed but they sound so weird 😅. About Ariela, I am uncomfortable with her behavior. It doesn’t look normal to me. I don’t want to be rude but she scares me a little 👀.
I personally LOVE the dubbing because you two are my “house chores buddies” lol, so it’s super helpful when I don’t have to rely on subtitles and can just listen. Thank you! 🙏🏾🫶🏾
You guys have become one of my favorite RU-vidrs to watch… sooo relaxing, chill, and Ashley you are gorgeeeeeee! Beautiful couple! Keep shinning Queen and King!
Looks like Ariella has problems similar to borderline personality disorder. She admited previously that she ended her previous relationships because of her anxiety. Looks like this is her pattern to “ avoid danger of being hurt” so when things getting too serious or too intim - she is dropping the towel.
Aww, thank you. We mean to, and will. I get uncomfortable self promoting, and dont want to do it too much. Its more about getting in a rhythm and working it in as a habit, or finding the right places. We both greatly appreciate your support, alway love seeing what you have to say
i'm team subs all the way, but i'm brazilian, so i guess this is more of a question for your english speaking viewers? but the dubbing is pretty shite, so i'd keep watching the subtitled version even if you choose to show us the dubbed one. about the ice, i truly wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. might be because i'm brazilian, might be because i'm distracted. but the only drinks we don't add ice to is beer and red wine 😂 i think ariela overreacts a lot, but evandro is pretty shady too. not about the text, i think that's normal, i call casual flings "love" or "babe" or "life" (that's something we call romantic partners in brasil). but he's pretty shady about his children, and i think he gives off a deadbeat dad vibe. especially how he told ariela in the honeymoon that he hadn't even called his daughter when he had the chance and he didn't even know what number to call. as a present father, wouldn't you have thought of that? so i think she doesn't trust him because of some of those things, but also she overreacts and is really combative in any sort of serious conversation, so that it gets hard for him to be really open with her. in the end i guess i think both of them suck tbh
I'm Brazilian and I love seeing foreigners' reactions to ANYTHING we produce, I'm loving seeing your reactions. I commented with some friends here and no one but me is seeing it, so I'm going to bring the topic to you (and to those who are in the comments too): I'm the only one who thinks Ariela is VERY physically similar to Cortney Cox... I say , apart from the nose, the rest is EXACTLY the same. IM crazy?
Yes! When Mitch and Ashley tried to think of a celebrity look alike for her in earlier episodes I instantly said Courtney Cox. I even had to pull up a picture on my phone to do a side by side comparison for my own verification haha. I definitely thought that, too.
Just the face. Her body type is completely different. Ariela is super curvy (and beautiful) in a way that Courtney Cox is not. Side note: Is it just me or does the English dub make Ingrid sound like an old lady?
Ariela is spireling and is unbalanced (due to not having processed her previous trauma), but I think that is not baseless: - Eduardo banalized the relationship with his hook up and presented her as more superficial than it was, - Eduardo was not transparent - has not disclosed in the pods and on the honeymoon the reality of it , while she, as she said - confided in him about everything from her past, which brings her the distrust, and - Ariela is sensing that Eduardo tries to manipulate (tried to show her only the last message and not the history of convo where the seriousness of the relationship was seen with its regularity and calling "my love").
I agree with your casting theory. When she got upset about him saying “you’re not that heavy” when he picked her up. I said she has big insecurities. And she had a lot of those moments after that. If I caught that in one interaction Netflix totally saw it
Try saying Renata's name as "Henata" - but I cannot explain how to pronounce the "t" correctly, we don't pronounce it like a "r", it's more of a "t" sound but stronger 🫠 Also, we pronounce Patrick as "Patricky" (with an emphasis in the "y"). Nonetheless, I'm loving your react!! Excited to see your reactions for the next episodes 😅
I agree that the first time I watch the episode, I was also confused on how it was edit to follow Ariela's narrative. I love the time taken to discuss what happen from 30:33 till the end. To have seen the remaining available episodes, I am concern for you both watching episode 7.
I agree with you that Ariela's reaction was disproportionate but I also found Evandro's conversation strange, at least the little that was shown. Calling someone "amor"/love to friends is not customary for Brazilians, it does show an intention of more serious affection and when a person calls another "love" without meaning it, it seems like the guy is shady, or a liar. Besides, if they really were friends and nothing was serious, why cut the bond then? Just eliminate the sexual part if Evandro is in a monogamous relationship and remain friends. The math ain’t mathing.
Sorry it took us so long! Were considering this series our first experimental foray into non english content. I think its working this way. Theres a fair number of Spanish and Portuguese speakers that prefer it with subtitles but I dont want to alienate the listeners only that dont want to watch watch the videos. Thank you for sticking with it
Im brazilian and very used to consume dubbed content from the US (although I do prefer english with subtitles) and they always try to match the translation to the lip sync even if there is an adaptation on what they say that needs to be done ( nothing that would compromise the overall message of what is going on). Its so weird to me that they are not trying to sync with the lips AT ALL is so distracting! And as a Portuguese speaker I get distracted reading their lips and figuring out what they are actually saying and its a very weird experience, but the content is good and fun as always! Love watching you guys!
I'm sorry fam.. this dub is a crime against humanity! So much gets lost. Ariela and Evandro's fight sounded like a completely different conversation. She was soo aggressive
I love your reaction content on these reality shows. I first encountered your channel during the "The Ultimatum South Africa" and I loved it. I personally am not a fan of the dubbing, I am pro subbed especially when I have already watched with sub and I know how they sound like. However I just love your commentary and discussion that it was not that bad.
I'm happy that you are still able to watch it with your preference which is subtitles to react to it. I really don't think unless when you edit the video, you felt like this. But, I don't think your comments (reactions) on a specific clip that is dubbed for the purpose of the video will be disconnect from your comments. We will see, I'm just as 3:43 😆 and keep pausing to read other comments and reacting as I go. I'm super excited 🤩
I might be putting my own past experience on Ariela but I think she thinks she can curb some embarrassment if she calls him out on being fake and lying before she can get really hurt
I cannot wait to watch this new video. I hope your trip went well.😄 It took me a long time to comment my thoughts on the show because I kept mixing Ariela and Renata because of their physical appearance. I've got a lot of thoughts brewing about Alexandre. I'm not sure if it's a dislike for some of his comments throughout the show, but it's definitely a complex feeling. I took a great time to read the comments because it was easier to see how people would approach it. I read that most who comment on dubbed usually play the video as background for the sound and haven't necessarily watched the show (no offence intended, it seems like a fact), so for me who watch all the episodes, it is easier for me to follow with the reactions of your video. But I understand people who don't have the time or click on the video. Now onto, the video, I cannot wait to see the reaction for episode 5. 😄
If you take in the totality of Ariella's comments and behavior, I think she's over reacting as an out. I think she would find anything to get out of this engagement, because I don't think she's into him. Their honeymoon vibes were blah and the comment about her grandma and mom... was the beginning of fishing for the out. You'll come to see over the next episodes more moments of trying to sabotage the relationship.
But not for all the couples, to my understandings. Some narrative are better or less painful than for Ariela. But, I agree for Ariela and Evandro, the narrative, I had a hard time watching it once.
I've been researching Brazil, and I think the issues she mentioned about her mother and grandmother might be related to colorism and classism. I don't mean to be divisive in the comments, i might be wrong. Wish she had elaborated on the issue with her mother and grandmother
I’m brazilian and I’m very happy to see you guys reacting. About Patrick’s ring, I belive you missed that Marília is not ok with him wearing in his necklace, she just won’t force him and feels that he should figure it out for himself. To wear the ring is a symbol of a comitmemt and I feel he has problems in this area.
I think Ariela doesn't feel comfortable putting another in the same position of being cheated on like she was in her previous relationship. it ticked her off and turned her off from Evandro.
I had a different reaction to Arielle on the show ,I didn’t see her. As a victim but an aggressor - her husband on the show told her about hook up that happened he was honest showed the text messages and she still accused him of lying, That’s really toxic ,
I think Zen means hippie style within Brazillian culture. Thats how I understood Zen. I think he thought that one outfit she wore was too "Zen" and he didn't like it. Gosh I really don't like this dude... my guess is that he is the narcissist of the season. Prediction locked in!
No dubbing please Edit: I commented that before watching the vid. So I wanted to let yall know the dubbing isn't horrendous, so if other commenters for sure need dubbing then it's OK. It just feels and sounds a bit weird. Like if next vid one of you was off screen doing the intro and the person on screen was just moving their mouth, it's in no way monstrous but not right (although a bit funny)
