Seasons 2 of Perfect Match came to an end on Friday, June 21 with an explosive final episode. A week later, Netflix announced the dating show would return next year. We can’t stop thinking about what messy singles we want to see next season, so we compiled a list.
Here is my dream cast for Season 3 of Perfect Match:
Amber Desiree ‘AD’ Smith – Love Is Blind
Amber Desiree “AD” Smith was a fan favorite on Season 6 of Love is Blind. She was a guiding light in a cast overflowing with immaturity. She found love with 31-year-old Clay Gravesande but sadly, the two didn’t leave the show a married couple. Clay turned her down at the aisle after she said “yes” to marrying him. Brutal. While I doubt AD has any trouble finding love in real life, I would love to see her back on TV.
Host Nick Lachey also threw out AD’s name as a potential Season 3 cast member in an interview with People.
“It’s really intriguing because someone like AD, who her and Clay [Gravesande]’s story was, I think, such a hard one for everyone to stomach,” he explained. “I think AD is a great candidate for someone to be on the show.”
Kieran Bishop – Dated and Related
Kieran Bishop is the twin brother of Perfect Match Season 2 heartthrob Kaz Bishop. Kaz provided some great television this season and I predict his brother would bring the same level of chaos into the house. He’s charming and a little messy, which makes him perfect for the show. I mean, how can you cast one twin on the show and not the other?
Josh Demas – Love is Blind
Every reality TV show needs a villain and Josh Demas may be the man for the job. We know from Love is Blind that he loves to steal someone’s girl and I’m sure he would cause chaos in the Perfect Match house.
Savannah Palacio – The Circle/Perfect Match
Savannah Palacio didn’t get a fair shot on Season 1 of Perfect Match. The Circle star tried to make a move on Francesca Farago’s man and it didn’t work out so well. She ended up leaving the villa early and without a perfect match. I think Savannah deserves a second shot at love. She’s cute, fun, and dramatic, which is a perfect combo for the Netflix show.
Megan Thomson – Too Hot to Handle
Megan Thomson brought the fun on Season 5 of Too Hot to Handle. She was bubbly, energetic, and many fans drew comparisons between her and Season 1 veteran Chloe Veitch. Megan is currently in a relationship but if she finds herself single next year, I think she would be a great addition to Perfect Match.
Cole Barnett – Love is Blind
Fans watched Cole Barnett’s volatile relationship with Zanab Jaffrey play out in Season 3 of Love is Blind. Fans were critical of Cole’s behavior all season but after the reunion, many viewers felt conflicted about whether he deserved the pile-on from the women.
Host Nick Lachey agreed that Cole deserves another shot at love. In his interview with People, he said he would like to see Cole on the next season of Perfect Match.
“He really took it in the reunion, really kind of got piled on,” he told the outlet. “I was like, ‘Man, this dude, I’m not sure he’s getting the right deal here.’ So he’s another one I wouldn’t mind seeing have a chance on something like Perfect Match.”
Irina Solomonova – Love is Blind
Irina Solomonova was the villain of Season 4 of Love Is Blind. The Seattle native received criticism for her treatment of her former fiance Zack Goytowski. While she wasn’t a fan favorite, neither was Micah Lussier. Fans called Irina and Micah “mean girls” after Season 4 of Love Is Blind, but Micah was able to shed her old persona on Season 2 of Perfect Match. I want Irina to have the same chance. Maybe she’ll have an arc similar to Micah’s or maybe she’ll once again be the villain. Either way, she’ll be good TV.
