Spoiler alert! This story discusses the primary six episodes of Good Match Season 3, which can be found to stream with a Netflix subscription should you’re not caught up.
I feel it’s secure to say that almost all of us don’t like having the endings to motion pictures, TV exhibits or books spoiled. Personally, I keep away from spoilers as a lot as potential, however there’s additionally one thing to the speculation that if you understand what occurs beforehand, you understand what to concentrate to. Whichever aspect you fall on, Netflix didn’t actually give us a selection with Good Match Season 3, at the moment airing on the 2025 TV schedule.
Months forward of Good Match‘s launch, it was revealed that Amber Desiree “AD” Smith from Love Is Blind Season 6 and Ollie Sutherland from Love Is Blind UK Season 1 had not solely met and paired up on the upcoming Netflix collection (which filmed in September 2024), however that they had been nonetheless collectively. I didn’t perceive why the streamer would do that, however after watching the primary six episodes, I really assume figuring out the spoiler is making the watch extra gratifying.
AD And Ollie’s Relationship Was Revealed On Love Is Blind Season 8 Reunion
This season of Good Match pulls former actuality TV contestants from a number of exhibits from each inside the Netflix Actuality Universe — like The Ultimatum and Too Sizzling to Deal with — and outdoors of it, dipping into the previous casts of exhibits like Love Island and even The Bachelor. Nevertheless, it’s particularly a blast to look at should you’re a fan of Love Is Blind, and again in March, Netflix couldn’t assist however give that viewers a style of what was to return.
Throughout the Love Is Blind Season 8 reunion, AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland made their debut, asserting then and there that they’d gotten engaged after falling in love on a present we had not but had the chance to see. Ollie mentioned:
At the same time as early on as after we had been on Good Match, I observed that we had been having the deeper conversations, the extra vital conversations, speaking about shared values and comparable outlooks on life. I feel that actually laid the groundwork and the muse for the attractive relationship we’ve got now.
If it wasn’t shocking sufficient that these two actuality TV contestants from totally different nations had met on a unique actuality present and gotten engaged, simply a few months later in Could, AD and Ollie introduced they had been anticipating a toddler collectively! So now that Good Match Season 3 has lastly arrived, does figuring out all of this take a number of the suspense out of the present episodes? Completely not.
We’re Getting To See How AD And Ollie’s Love Story Developed
Understanding that Ollie Sutherland and AD Smith are endgame has actually solely made the viewing expertise higher, at the least via the primary six episodes. When the 2 Love Is Blind contestants hit it off instantly, there was positively a way of, “Oh my god, it’s occurring!” Their chemistry was instantaneous and plain, and it wasn’t lengthy earlier than Ollie was telling AD that he felt nearer to her than he had together with his fiancée on Love Is Blind UK.
(To refresh our reminiscences, Ollie Sutherland received engaged to Demi Brown, who mentioned, “I don’t, for now,” at their wedding ceremony. AD Smith, in the meantime, was engaged to Clay Gravesande, and whereas she mentioned “I do” on the altar, he didn’t.)
Understanding from the start that AD and Ollie make it out of Good Match collectively (or at the least that they find yourself collectively when it’s throughout) permits us to take a seat again and benefit from the experience.
Understanding They Finish Up Collectively Has Made Some Elements Of Good Match Much less Anxious
If AD and Ollie’s ending weren’t spoiled for me, I’m undecided I’d consider this can be a relationship that works out. Regardless of the connection between the 2 being nothing in need of electrical, it additionally appears apparent that Ollie went on Good Match searching for a great time. So it’s really fairly enjoyable to see him catch emotions so quick and get a bit territorial.
Understanding they’re collectively additionally permits me to seek out the humor in conditions that might in any other case have me worrying concerning the couple. When AD and Ollie received to go to the boardroom, it was hilarious to see her name him out for wanting to usher in Alex Zamora from Temptation Island.
Then, AD received despatched on a date with The Ultimatum alum J.R. Warren, and whereas we received to see Ollie sweat a bit bit once they got here again holding arms, I used to be by no means stressed about who she’d find yourself matching with that night time. Nevertheless, when it was Ollie’s flip to go on a date, that pressure got here flooding again.
Some Elements Of Good Match Are Extra Anxious As a result of The Stakes Really feel Greater
AD’s little flirtations with J.R. and some other man on Good Match felt frivolous to me, as a result of I understand how all of it seems. Nevertheless, Episode 6 “Double Bother” made me notice simply how excessive the stakes are for the couple. After Ollie and AD had been picked because the strongest match, Ollie was despatched on a date with two bombshells, whereas AD was despatched dwelling. EXCUSE ME????
I used to be virtually as inconsolable as AD, as a result of this was not the love story I used to be promised again in March. What do you imply she has to go away? Ollie seemed fairly damaged up about having to say goodbye to her too … till he realized he’d be happening a date with each Justine Pleasure Ndiba from Love Island USA and Olivia Rae from Temptation Island.
Ollie seemed like a child in a sweet store, and I completely hated watching him flirt and maintain arms with these ladies. It was particularly painful to listen to him speak to Justine about having kids, theorizing together with her in the event that they’d need boys or ladies. If I used to be nauseous watching that, I can’t think about AD was too thrilled.
Fortunately, AD returned as one of many “singles” for the mixer on the finish of Episode 6, reuniting her with Ollie. If the previews are any indication, issues could worsen for them earlier than they get higher.
Having Their Relationship Spoiled Doesn’t Destroy The Expertise At All
Even when AD Smith and Ollie Sutherland had been the one couple on this present, figuring out that they’ll go on to get engaged and have a child has not ruined my expertise. Good Match is chock-full of different {couples} and fantastic drama that hasn’t been spoiled. We additionally don’t know which couple will pull out the win in the long run, so even if you’re staunchly towards spoilers, there’s nonetheless a lot to get pleasure from.
Now, with AD because of give start to her and Ollie’s child in November and the couple planning to get married by the tip of the 12 months, Good Match has restored my religion in actuality relationship exhibits by proving that they will each be entertaining and truly type lasting connections. So I’d say that having this relationship spoiled has positively not ruined the viewing expertise and truly made it even higher.
Episodes 7-9 can be found to stream on Netflix now, with the finale dropping Friday, August 15.
