“You’re everything I hoped for”!
In urban poetry à la Gerry Boulet, but in Franglais, the beautiful Lara, a 27-year-old fashion representative, declared her unconditional love to her smiling (toothy) carpenter Vincent, 26 years old.
Lara and Vincent form the cemented and loving couple ofDouble occupancy Andalusia, stuck on a sofa, placed on top of each other in a mini armchair, they only separate under the orders of production, and they were each bored in their own house!
HAS If we loved each other, teacher Marie-Josée, 48, and her carpenter Julien, 44, have not let go of each other for a second since falling in love at first sight in a suburban bar. Aaah, you’re beautiful, you’re hot, you’re fine! And their children already present themselves, after a few weeks of dating, as half-brothers and half-sisters. It’s a quick process, let’s say that politely.
HAS Love is in the meadow, the rapid formation of fusion couples automatically triggers positive reactions among viewers. To OD and If we loved each otherthe two most intense couples of the fall do not arouse the same enthusiasm among the public, but not at all.
We find them heavy, we judge the speed with which they found each other, we feel uneasy in the face of so much affection expressed in such a short time, when we should rather rejoice in the fact that these two reality shows finally serve their purpose first, that of bringing together those who love each other-uh, to paraphrase Édith Piaf.
OD and If we loved each other have been so fueled by discomfort and arguments that this cooing and honeyed tangent destabilizes us, that’s clear. Also, people who devour themselves with their eyes and who look at absolutely everything with rose-colored glasses doesn’t make for crisp or biting TV.

Vincent and Lara, the OD couple
The Lara-Vincent couple, who self-describe as the “cheekest” couple in all the editions of OD “, we will not contradict them, even gets on the nerves of his roommates, in particular Antoine, the 31-year-old restaurateur. “Big, what is it, to win OD, you have to be extra cringe, like? This could be the movie The Notebook », grumbled Antoine who, unlike Lara and Vincent, is not the type “to make flavored popsicles and stroke thighs for two hours”. Well said.
The flirting and other little touches between Lara and Vincent really irritate Antoine, who represents the voice of the people in this physical-love debate. “I can’t see myself taking a flower and putting perfume on it, I wouldn’t be able to be serious,” insisted Antoine, between two endless calf feeling sessions.
But, what do you expect, blonde and tanned Lara describes herself as a “gut girl” and her gut tells her that “it feels right and that’s just what’s important”, OK?
The worst part is hearing Vincent complain about the “downs” he experiences, separated from his sweetheart from Boisbriand. He finds the time loooong and he complains. Poor dear. Imagine how difficult it is for him to live in a superb villa, in Andalusia, with his boyfriends while it snows in Quebec? Cry me a river, Vincent.
HAS If we loved each other, I don’t dare think about the result if Julien had opened his sentimental machine to the fullest, ignoring the therapist Louise Sigouin’s calls for calm and slowing down. Quebec reality TV wouldn’t have been ready for even more hugs (ding, ding!) and rolling eyes in fat.

Back in OD, Mathieu Pasta, 24, almost said the words “I love you” to his sweetheart Rebecca, a 26-year-old social worker. “It crossed my mind,” Mathieu P. told the camera. A pass on the palette, we hope.
When host Fred Robichaud advised the boys to “pretend every party was the last,” Jérémy, the 28-year-old real estate entrepreneur, seemed turned on for half a second. “Isn’t that a Corneille song? » he replied straight away, before good old classic Jérémy came back.
The Jérémy who noticed that the popcorn “flourished” with Laurence and the Jérémy who asks “what does embryonic mean” when Doctor Sami describes to him the state of his budding relationship with nurse Céline.
Speaking of Céline and Sami, the most perceptive will have noticed that the director of the “insane” luxury hotel where these two candidates slept in Morocco was Abderrahim Zaki, the father of the singer Camélia Zaki from the last vintage of Star Academyin 2022.
Another highlight of OD: the singles speak like Quebec hockey players who have spent too much time on minor league teams in Syracuse or Hershey.
Like Antoine: “Lara is definitely the only girl from the other side that I would have gone towards,” he mumbled in a Newspeak only understood by Martin St-Louis of the Montreal Canadiens.
It’s also time to put the lid on the fake off-camera flirtation between Rebecca and Anthony.
Unlike the journey of Sylvain and Frédérique in If we loved each otherthis straw fire will not turn into a campfire by blowing on it repeatedly.
