South African here. Please continue watching and reviewing. It gets messy and the drama is unhinged lol. I can't wait for the reunion and I binged every episode when it came out 😅
7:50 probably Thato, Thabo or Thabi. I am Zimbabwean but whenever i encounter a South African group, there is always one of those. And the South african th- is pronounced just t- i think
I'm South Africa and I am loving this awesome, chilled international review!! You guys are just likable and giving realness and humor sprinkled in there ❤❤❤ love love love
I stayed up all night and finished the whole season. That's how good it is. Your review of the cast is pretty on the money for a first episode review!!! I would prefer as many reviews on this seaon that you guys can stand to make ❤
Im always so happy to see ANY new video from you both. Im horrible at leaving comments. I always come back & delete them cause Im so self conscious. But Please know You’re BOTH FABULOUS & I love what you do. 💐💐💐
I absolutely love your commentary, review, how you remember the cast members’ names and your ability to keep me glued. I first came across your review of Episode 3, then went looking for other episodes😅. You two are awesome and have a new subscriber 💃🏽😎
Thank you! I (mitch) used to say I hate reality tv but when Ashley would watch it in bed Id inevitably drag myself in and wed talk the whole way through. Thats really how the concept was born. Ashley had the vision, and I cant shut my mouth off 😂
I wasn’t sure if I was going to watch because I’m not the biggest fan of the Ultimatum (Queer Love aside) but your reaction made me want to check it out! I hope you do more, I love hearing your thoughts as you’re watching.
Hi from South Africa, a new big fan who just subscribed. An American equivalance to Ashley is SA is Zanele. I've already binged on it but I enjoyed reacting together with you and I think it would be great if you do it per episode as you have to take the journey again with you
i would love a reaction to each episode but thats just because i dont feel like watching the show myself so i want to watch it through you guys with your commentary 😅 basically how i watch every reality show lol
I forgot it dropped, I will go watch it now. Love u guys commentary. See u in the next one.😊 fyi....R is Restricted (under 17 may be admitted with an adult) NC-17 (NO ONE 17 & under are admitted)
In regard to the money part of marriage, theres a few tribes where the parents of the woman ask for a lobolo, which in english is a dowry or a “bride price”. It’s usually in the form of livestock, property, money, whatever the brides family asks for. It’s expensive and it’s a part of tradition that seems to make a lot of men wait a while until they feel financially stable. There’s a lot more people who know a lot more than I do, but yeah, it’s probably a factor in a lot of peoples decisions when it comes to marriage.
I loved the banter in this one you guys are so cute. Also I think….and not even sure, but I think NC-17 means no one under 17 will be admitted to the show, and R means adult supervision if the child is under 18. So NC-17 just means like in no way suitable for children but R means as long as the parent is there with them it’s fine
I’m not watching, don’t have Netflix but I’m all in for your review! You guys could discuss the phone book and make it entertaining!( oops, showing my age… they don’t make phone books anymore do they?😂) Anyway, hope Ruth finds someone good….
Untraditional wedding: as an officiant, I married my daughter/fiancé in a bootleg wedding at a Renaissance Fair, all in dress, with only her dad and sister. I thought my family might be upset but they all took it pretty well (to my face 😂.) It was everything they wanted and a beautiful day! ⚔
Maybe they dropped all the episodes at once because they’re trying to get people watching the ultimatum before the new US season drops. Thanks for doing this. I didn’t even realize this was on Netflix! I’m gonna go watch it and would love to hear what you guys have to say.
This season is INTENSE verryyyyyy worth the whole watch 18:33 Ross and Rachel were "on a break" it's just that it doesn't matter, what's a break? They sure didn't define it! We don't care about your break ROSS
Ashley: "They've only been together for one year; that's so early for an ultimatum!" Me: Waiting patiently for Lindele and Siza's introduction LOL Honestly, I think giving an ultimatum any sooner than 3 years is somewhat unreasonable. I wonder what this show would be like if it was a rule for applicants to be together a minimum of 3-4 years, but I guess there would be fewer couples in the selection process.
What is the Ashley of South Africa? Thando (it means love). Side note: It is such a culture shock to watch this show and there being someone with my name (Nkateko).
I think your Ashley equivalent wins, given the community response. And I hear what you mean, every time I see a Mitchell on tv it throws me off a bit. Usually theyre people I can root for, and so far we’re rooting for Nkateko!
South African here💕, so Ashley of SA can be few names because we have 11 official languages, Nthabiseng, Lerato, Mbali, the list is endless but these are common names
Onalerona, Melokuhle and Lisakhanya seem to be the most popular male names. And then for women Melokuhle, followed by Omphile and Iminathi in third place
We just finished the last three throuple episodes and Im remembering your frustration with Max and Ash and how much I now resonate with your posts. OMG
@@membriash omg I love that I get an update. RIGHT?!? It broke my heart to see them do that to Becca. It’s hard when two people are complicit to their actions. They feed off each others “do whatever you want. It’s your world” energy. Which yes. It is. But to completely ignore what you have said and done? And to laugh it off as if it’s not people’s lives? Felt super icky.
@@membriash just super disappointed to see a poly relationship between a queer woman and man. and they just treated it like it was for sex and hooking up with whoever liked them. Which for some reason. Was a lot of people.
Hello from South Africa! What an awesome review! You guys are so chilled. The show has typical South African names like Khanya and Lebo are the Ashley's of South Africa. Unpopular take I like Isaac. He is sulking though and it comes off as mean. He is angry he is on the show maybe. Ruth is too eagar to be with Nolla. Awesome review!
Im willing to give Isaac a break. I havent heard a lot of negative about him from people that binged the whole thing. He comes off poorly at first but we shall see soon!
Mitch looks great! I hate myself for saying this but I can't help it. My father in law was an interesting character to say the absolute least. My husband is also bald (went bald when we were 21) he always had a full beard no mustache. His dad rocked the stanche only and it looked identical to Mitch's now. Lol. He used to Everytime I seen him say "that son of mine better grow a mustache before I have to show you what it's all about" again, he was uhmmm...interesting. After my husband telling him to quit saying that and him not listening countless times my husband grew his mustache. Lol. He has a beard/mustache now. He's had it for probably 10 years just to shut up his dad at first. His dad has been gone for almost 7 years now but the stanche remains. When I seen Mitch's mustache I actually lol'd and remembered my weirdo father in law. (You don't look like a weirdo Mitch you look great.)
There alot of "Ashleys" but it depends on the tribe (Xhosa's, Zulu's, Pedi's, Tswana's etc.). But we share a lot of common names [within a tribe] because of the meanings behind them which where mostly taken out of the bible. But I'd say the Ashleys for Xhosa's; Liyema/Liema (the pillar of the family) and Sibulele (giving thanks) is common. Zulu's; Sthembiso (trust/hope/belief), Lungile (good/pleasant) mind you there are many more Like "Khanyi" is taken out of the word "Khanyisa" meaning to give light/ to shine in the IsiXhosa and Siswati language. "Sizakele" taken out of the word "Usizakele" meaning somebody that has been blessed in the IsiZulu language
I really appreciate the language and name education youre providing here! Especially since a few relate to contestants on the show. Thank you for watching and sharing your knowledge
6:29 I'm commenting mid watch so not sure if you've realized by now or been informed, but Thabi is referring to a dowry when she mentions Genesis having money to marry her.
I wonder if they released them all at once because of Baby Reindeer. It's all anyone is focused on right now, so they had to do something to keep viewers glued.
I dont want to read too much on the Khanya vs Nkateko discourse because I dont want to ruin our reaction, but I will say, off camera we talked a bit. I do have problems with Khanya FR but I suspect Nkateko might not be great if I think she’s problematic yet hes been with her for years. I dunno. We’ll see 🤷♂️
@@membriashI won’t say much because you haven’t watched the whole thing 😂😂😂perhaps you might see where where I come from once you are done with the show .
omg I'm South African and this is the cross over I never expected 😂
Im glad we can good surprise you!
Same 😂😂😂
Brah 😂😂😂😂
South African here. Please continue watching and reviewing. It gets messy and the drama is unhinged lol. I can't wait for the reunion and I binged every episode when it came out 😅
They would have had SA really really upset if they didnt release everything at once.
It's that good. Binge watched till 3am in the morning.
Same I was feeling ashamed but worth it 😂😂😂
7:50 probably Thato, Thabo or Thabi.
I am Zimbabwean but whenever i encounter a South African group, there is always one of those. And the South african th- is pronounced just t- i think
You are not wrong...South Africans don't PLAY! even with the police😅😅
Reunion is coming on Friday ... I know what I'm doing on Friday ... can't wait.
I'm South Africa and I am loving this awesome, chilled international review!! You guys are just likable and giving realness and humor sprinkled in there ❤❤❤ love love love
I applaud you for remembering so many names after only one episode! Your reactions are fun to watch, thank you for them!
Thank you!
I stayed up all night and finished the whole season. That's how good it is. Your review of the cast is pretty on the money for a first episode review!!! I would prefer as many reviews on this seaon that you guys can stand to make ❤
The South African Ashley is Mbali, and my name is Mbali also😂😂that name is everywhere❤
Palesa for runner up 😤😭
I think every official language has a Ashley name, well except for sign language 😂
Lebo as well@@KB-zp8bs
Or Sne... Or Ayanda... 😂
Nthabi a close 3rd
I’ve watched all episodes already but I was glued to your review please continue I really enjoyed it
You ask and shall receive
Yay!!🎉 I love watching recaps with you guys. I’ve watched all the episodes and would like to see your reactions.
Im always so happy to see ANY new video from you both. Im horrible at leaving comments. I always come back & delete them cause Im so self conscious. But Please know You’re BOTH FABULOUS & I love what you do. 💐💐💐
We 100% resonate with this, I think we talk about it in our next video
“Panther in the forest “ 😅 that’s the best way to describe Khanya’s demeanor
I absolutely love your commentary, review, how you remember the cast members’ names and your ability to keep me glued. I first came across your review of Episode 3, then went looking for other episodes😅. You two are awesome and have a new subscriber 💃🏽😎
You’re in for a rollercoaster. This season was everything.
Please post reactions for each episode. Discovered ya'll through this video and love your commentary.
The two of you are hilarious 😅😅 is this like date night for ya'll? I'm here for it lol such fun couple and your commentary =top tier👌 #dynamic duo❤
Thank you! I (mitch) used to say I hate reality tv but when Ashley would watch it in bed Id inevitably drag myself in and wed talk the whole way through. Thats really how the concept was born. Ashley had the vision, and I cant shut my mouth off 😂
@membriash Hi Mitch 👋 you were the missing piece the whole time. Ya'll are just amazing together. Looking forward to reunion episode🤗
I'm South African and a popolar name here around Cape Town is Matthew. There are so many Matthews here.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to watch because I’m not the biggest fan of the Ultimatum (Queer Love aside) but your reaction made me want to check it out! I hope you do more, I love hearing your thoughts as you’re watching.
Keep watching,it's definitely worth it
I think this is a 10
THANK YOU!!! Ross and Rachel were NOT ON A BREAK!!
Nkateko Mabaso RIP, i just watched the show once at my sister and now i see he has passed on and saw memorial service, Rest well brother ..
Hi from South Africa, a new big fan who just subscribed. An American equivalance to Ashley is SA is Zanele. I've already binged on it but I enjoyed reacting together with you and I think it would be great if you do it per episode as you have to take the journey again with you
We shall, thanks for answering our question!
I binged everything but wont ruin it for you guys. Yall are on point with everything actually 😊
i would love a reaction to each episode but thats just because i dont feel like watching the show myself so i want to watch it through you guys with your commentary 😅 basically how i watch every reality show lol
Me too! I only watch reality shows through commentary channels
I forgot it dropped, I will go watch it now. Love u guys commentary. See u in the next one.😊 fyi....R is Restricted (under 17 may be admitted with an adult) NC-17 (NO ONE 17 & under are admitted)

You are mostly correct but definitely keep watching
I really love your reviews. Please do more.
Love the commentary 👍🏾 I must admit I loved the concept of this show
Varsity is short for university
Hey great review… I’m be watching your reviews from now on ….great stuff guys…great name pronunciations…FROM Zimbabwe
Thank you for the encouragement, and for watching!
I binged it all in one night lol
You are close to the mark on Khanya and Nkateko. Also this is TV gold. In South Africa it's been trending on X all week and it's no. 1 on Netflix.
Also we love the full dump, we love binging here.
I loved the banter in this one you guys are so cute. Also I think….and not even sure, but I think NC-17 means no one under 17 will be admitted to the show, and R means adult supervision if the child is under 18. So NC-17 just means like in no way suitable for children but R means as long as the parent is there with them it’s fine
3:14 even if they do sign up for it I think the reality is much worse than how it sounded when they applied at first 😅
Queer love was my favourite, now this went to the top.
I’m not watching, don’t have Netflix but I’m all in for your review! You guys could discuss the phone book and make it entertaining!( oops, showing my age… they don’t make phone books anymore do they?😂)
Anyway, hope Ruth finds someone good….
Well lucky for everyone we wont test your theory. And its Ok, we miss phonebooks too 😅

Thats an awesome story! Have you seen the video of Ashley talking about her fears of the Ren Fair?
Maybe they dropped all the episodes at once because they’re trying to get people watching the ultimatum before the new US season drops. Thanks for doing this. I didn’t even realize this was on Netflix! I’m gonna go watch it and would love to hear what you guys have to say.
That makes sense, a teaser for a bigger drop. More episodes incoming soooon
Yes please do the whole season!
This season is INTENSE verryyyyyy worth the whole watch
18:33 Ross and Rachel were "on a break" it's just that it doesn't matter, what's a break? They sure didn't define it! We don't care about your break ROSS
If Ross has no haters I’m dead
Please do all the episodes, I really enjoyed yalz reaction
More incoming, thank you for watching!!

Varsity is university which is college
What is the Ashley of South Africa? Thando (it means love). Side note: It is such a culture shock to watch this show and there being someone with my name (Nkateko).
Funny enough I was also gonna comment "Thando" , it's literally the most common name in SA really.
