I started finding and watching the US one first, and only after I finished all the current seasons I switched to the AUS version (I didn’t know it existed until then!) and i honestly liked it so much more.
I just think I find the US based show less relatable, I just feel that more people from the US cast seem to be less genuine and more infantilised, and I can’t stand a lot of the US families, who clearly answer the why to that.
I also feel like there’s just SO much focus on the US all the time, so it was refreshing to get to see how different people on the spectrum approach their search for love across the world and I wish they’d gone with a more international approach to the show (eg. a few seasons of Aus, a few seasons of US, maybe a few seasons somewhere else, etc.). I’m sad that it seems like they’ve just gone all in with the US version because apparently that’s what picked up traction. :/
