how needy and frightened people were. The show also revealed very clearly that people from the other countries really wanted to get out of their country and come to the US. There was one poor guy from Nigeria who hooked up with a very controlling woman from the US and he seemed to try so hard not to get her mad but he would make mistakes basically because of their different cultures and he would literally look scared that she was going to leave him because of these faux pas. He also was a big fan of Donald Trump and kept a framed picture of him in his house. She was obviously a Trump supporter and he was deluded into what it was going to be like for him here.

I am a 61 year old woman now, divorced and widowed. I don't have that kind of need that I used to have for another person in my life and I think I actively avoid situations where that could happen again. I don't like how I end up feeling needy when I get in a relationship. Perhaps that will change, I don't know.

But watching these people is not as mindless as you would think; at least that's how it was for me.

I don't know about the other reality shows though. I am sure you are right about many of them.
