Are You My First?

For all its inherent ickiness, Are You My First? does offer a fascinating snapshot of the well-documented ideological gulf springing up between Gen Z men and women. .... Structurally, the biggest hurdle facing Are You My First? is its general lack of in-show stakes. Contestants vote off their peers who don’t seem to be forming genuine connections, but outside of some suggestive challenges, they don’t have an incentive like a cash prize to keep them there.

The “funny” narration from Underwood and Bristowe is completely unnecessary and feels like it was added during post-production because the producers found that the show was too boring. .... It leaves us completely skeptical that all of the contestants are who they say they are.
