One Week Love: Behind The Scenes of TSL's First Reality Dating Show

[@TheSmartLocal]

There will be 2 more bonus episodes coming up where we interview the cast members! It's been half a year and our host Fauzi catches up with them and answers fan questions. Stay tuned!

[@dhillonng255]

Really kudos towards the crew, the producers, the director, everybody, who has put in their 101% effort into making this show. YA'LL MADE ME CRAI

[@maichieko413]

Just want to point out something I noticed about the female cast (aka girl gang) for this season, they seemed to be mostly lacking self confidence and the inability to represent themselves hence the need to congregate and act as a gang. The one thing that stood out to me now on hindsight from one of the earlier episodes was the egg game where Dione was the "spy". Instead of playing the game independently, she exposed her identity and sought the assistance from all the other girls to protect her and I thought what is the point of the game if you are going to play it that way? She totally missed the point of the game. Like how she totally missed the point of this reality dating programme. Also I often wonder why the girls never took the initiative to hang out with the guys if they were so bothered by Kasey doing so? Were they sitting in their rooms waiting for the guys to approach them instead? And when that didn't happen, they resented Kasey for having the confidence to mingle and socialise. I don't know if this is a Singaporean thing or an age thing or TSL just happened to be damn suay to select four girls with this "die also must clique" mentality, "die also cannot chase guys because will lose face" attitude. Really hope the S2 girls will be more confident, more independent and most importantly not afraid to approach guys instead of spending their time forming a girl gang to bully others.

[@tulipsandpeaches1834]

13:41 Basically Diana in a nutshell. If she's not proclaiming she isn't interested in any of the guys or pretending to not have an interest in Don in the show, you will see her actively putting down others, unsolicited.

[@yourbestiezx]

you guys are obsessed with her at this point

[@dibodiib5828]

@@yourbestiezx not you siding with her 🤢🤢🤢

[@alsg0403]

I also didn't like Dania towards the end of the show for the things she said. But now that the show is over, do remember that there is still a person living their life and seeing these comments after the show. If you guys can let it be, give her the benefit of the doubt and attribute it to lack of sleep and the pressure of being on a show. I'm sure some of us would've behaved oddly/terribly trying to look cool on camera too.

[@yourbestiezx]

@@dibodiib5828 not you proving my point 🤡🤡🤡

[@oliviaketheesan]

@@alsg0403 love that you wanna give people the benefit of doubt and I would have too if I didn't know Dania. She was a bully growing up and id assumed that she'd changed over time like people do but she seems to be the same person she was in secondary school which is disheartening. Not saying that she deserves to be hated on but most people are just pointing out the truth.

[@skyescene21]

didn't know oliver was casted at the beach. thankfully the stars aligned and we got to see him on the show

Yes to season 2! Mad respect + mad proud + mad love all the crews coz i saw how hard all of you worked & all the lack of sleep is worth it!! Love u all fam!

[@aerieltv]

thank u to all the people involved in creating such an addictive show!! all episodes from 1-10 got me at the edge of my seats~ but I'm a bit sorry to TSL also since due to the immaturity of some of your casts, negative comments flooded your show. hope yall will do better with the casting next season (if there is)

[@gildaquin]

Big ups to the production team! Y'all did so good! Thoroughly enjoyed the show (and I dont even watch dating shows)!

[@xxuenii]

Season 2 should have lesser girls vs boys to avoid that strong sister, brother bond. And maybe even individual bedrooms so no bff night bonding. Instead, they can invite other girl or boy to night "dating", i mean *deep* chatting. More couple pairing challenges, and winner couple can choose to go on a date with either each other or even with other guy / girl.

[@katriley9876]

i commented this same thing too!! the challenges should be less competing each other as it doesn’t help them bond

[@xxuenii]

@@katriley9876 yea! Maybe tie hands and legs together then do some simple obstacle run or treasure hunting or something. Do cross dressing competition hahaha

honestly, hardwork paid off so good guys!!! love this series so muchh

[@marcuscheok7936]

This was a good add-on to in my opinion. I think it introduces the element of being human into the cast (beyond their interactions on-video), which really makes the tension between the girls seem less intense on some level

[@chloechenwei]

THANK U TEAM for the amazing, high quality series!!!!! The production value of this is seriously through the roof 💯 I see this honestly as a significant mark in the local entertainment industry. Don't think i've ever felt more proud of a local reality tv show & will gladly recommend this to all fellow trashy show lovers 🎉

[@jj7875]

This is so cute, thank you TSL team for the hard work! ❤ I enjoyed this series alotttt😊💕

[@jakeethan4724]

ok aside from all the toxic comments i made about the sg girls in the past few episodes. i have to say TSL looks like a very fun place to work, because i know if they didn't like the place they're working at, they probably won't put in so much effort such as sleeping 3 hours a day. really got a different vibe compared to you-know-who

[@Lilixfilms]

Literally, blood sweat and tears. Great job TSL 💯

[@kayakayayumyum1105]

All your hardwork paid off! The show’s a hit 🎉

[@felicialim137]

Kudos to the team. Very nice to also see some of the talents at work!

[@alui5362]

mannn.. I feel shag just watching. well done guys, I'm sure you guys will remember this fondly for a long long time :) just thinking.. if the budget allows for it, I think spacing it out will help a tonne? seems like you guys really packed the 7 days to the brim, which is why it was so killer. think terrace house does it like one week real time per episode. I bet just making it two weeks v.s one week should make a huge difference.

[@芋頭丸-z6c]

wa all the effort put in was def worth it. good production! (except for casting bully bully dania)

[@jinny6069]

Why did you guys pick Diana and Dione? Would love to hear your take on this

[@shurinhaha]

I'm just curious about Dania. Dione is a model so I think there's some draw to her! Also, she was very likeable for many episodes so I think she was a great option for a cast member. I'm just terrified of Dania - I feel like she'll scold me for breathing haha.

[@animemachinex3]

one of the casts mentioned that tsl scouted thru various platforms - instagram, in person (beach), and model agencies. tsl has worked with basic models for a couple of episodes so basic models probably recommended them some to interview from and i guess dione seemed ~quirky~ in her interview so a possibly fun cast? dania on the other hand.... wondered how she ended up there. can't imagine her getting scouted lol. maybe she was the one who applied and write long long resume to show her desperation

[@shurinhaha]

Maybe they'll just say something like "Oh, we found Dania very refreshing and genuine - she doesn't hold back on her opinions, isn't afraid to show her true self on camera... etc."
