Ep 12: Pop The Balloon Or Find Love | With Arlette Amuli

[@monkrona4471]

The first girl was so critical over the men’s ages but was scared to say her own it was such a red flag

[@tlunceford77]

I wasn't feeling that. I'm 34 and proud of it. It a blessing to get older

Arlette’s channel with the “pop the balloon” tactic is the only one I watch because its done in a tasteful manner. Entertaining but still a good show without being nasty or degrading.

The Christian guy popping the balloon over the dark skinned girl wearing a slightly sheer corset in the name of his so called religious beliefs but not popping the ballon over the second girl (who is mixed) wearing that very very short skirt is so hypocritical.
