Wow what a whirlwind. This is not an easy show to watch. You really have to step into the culture and really handwave a lot of stuff as just being due to their culture. Not just the matching, but the dispassionate way in which they force the matching. The insistence on traditional aspects to the point where they don't make sense like hand writing your database rather than keeping them on a secure database. It's just maddening watching this woman scroll through hand written notes when a simple database query would be much more efficient. If you want to reduce people to number that's fine. But then what purpose does writing them down serve.. at that point just assign a number and use filters and queries.
That matches are all over the map. There's the villain girl, the secret gay, and the foreigner which in this case means East Indian from Guyana. There's definitely a degree to which some of this is just reality TV nonsense. Like without stepping on cultural toes. I think I can safely say that the last one has no business even looking to this particular matchmaker. She's very East Indian old school. Which doesn't even look close to what she wants. But hey it does get her on the reality show. Our villain girl is a typical rich kid but that's pretty much everyone here. She's not very friendly but I think that actually makes her super easy to match with. You find her a guy who doesn't mind being "bullied" by his wife and there are plenty of guys like that. There's so much to take in though.
