It was predictable, like the duality of “Fusion” associated with the very intense Julien: the “couple” that Julie and Alexandre had formed separated in “If We Loved Each Other,” the TVA documentary that was all flattering Alpacas keep alive province.
Published at 2:41 am. Updated at 7:15 a.m.
The (good) decision was made by Julie, the 44-year-old family carer, who had to endure some pretty hurtful comments from the cartesian Alexandre, a 45-year-old business manager. Even a Salebarbes show in Quebec and a Coco-a-Thon in the forest couldn’t connect the emotional – or rational – worlds? – from Julie and Alexandre.
Cold and direct, Alexandre quickly placed Julie in the “friend zone,” the equivalent of eternal purgatory for singles on every reality show on the planet. The “friend zone” is the place where impulses, passions and butterflies die, with no possibility of resurrection.
The spa scene, in which Alexandre firmly rejected his suitor, was the final straw for Julie, who didn’t need Alexandre’s gift to pump the air. End of therapeutic relentlessness.
In the same elusive vein, Mélody, 27, practically uses Sam, the 40-year-old dispatcher, to get free therapy from Louise Sigouin, while ignoring the feelings of the person she has chosen for this adventure, which ranges from piquant- Cool picnics are interrupted. They drink apple juice from spiral straws.
In each of her sessions, Mélody only talks about herself, her previous relationships, her daughter and repeatedly refers to Sam as just a friend. If she doesn’t feel romantic potential with Sam, and that’s 100% true, Mélody should tell her and stop getting her hopes up. It’s awkward and dishonest. Besides, it wouldn’t be unpleasant for Sam to see for himself that things aren’t working out with Mélody and that he’s wasting his time. To quote Kevin Parent in his song “Mother of Our Child”: “It’s boring, but that’s it.”

Marie-Josée and Julien in If We Loved Each Other
The final week of If We Loved Each Other was full of laughter yoga, some “washing,” and a soaking bath to the sound of an owl hooting. Marie-Josée, the 48-year-old teacher, and Julien, the 44-year-old carpenter, coo on the phone like two 15-year-old teenagers. Hey, hang up! No, hang up! No you ! Okay, let’s hang up!
Former truck driver Sylvain, 55, and Frédérique, daughter of actor Albert Millaire, experienced several arguments, including a linguistic one, which rekindled an old wound of pride. Sylvain did not know the meaning of the word “empathy,” which led to a misunderstanding with Frédérique and a verbal argument with a member of the film crew.
A little scoop on the Double Occupation Andalusia website: The last trip will take place in the Maldives, in a luxury hotel, a mole on the reality show Noovo whispers to me. White sand, crystal clear water, magnificent houses on stilts – it is a beautiful place in the heart of the Indian Ocean.
Now the last week at OD has not given rise to any legitimate “rants” among the girls. Moving to the boys’ yoghurt-smelling house and expedition to the “super big rock” (we say Gibraltar, dear Jérémy), our singles move on to TTP, which means they “trust the process”, they trust the process, in old French.
Speaking of Jérémy, the 28-year-old real estate entrepreneur, he has inherited the title of Villain of the Class of 2023 while changing his speech more often than Judge Cohen changes his accent to Indefensible.
Jérémy protected Laurence, 24, his last lifeline on the show. Consequence: It was the photo of 24-year-old Marilyne that was put in the demon’s red envelope, a decision that triggered the beginning of a small argument in the mixed houses.
Furthermore, regarding the whiny Jérémy being pushed against the wall (of Gibraltar), the wise Anthony remarked that Jérémy “can’t talk shit anymore.” Gibber, queek, why don’t you merge them? But 26-year-old Rebecca would specify with “parciminie”.
Additionally, Lara, a 27-year-old fashion representative, did not know what the word “Rebus” meant during the inter-villa game competition. And neither she nor her companion Vincent, 26, recognized the phrase “the problem of dual employment,” which has nevertheless been a lyric from the OD title song for 20 years. Awkward.
During the Andalouzzzie quiz, Marilyne vividly remarked that “the other team messed up.” The young woman from Brossard, who, let’s not forget, is studying psychology, used the same chair analogy to predict Simon’s reaction to discovering the mixed houses: “He’s going to shit his pants.”
Sigmund Freud wrote a number of theories about the anal phase of child development. Could the academic Marilyne popularize these complex psychoanalytic ideas for us?
Another scientific hypothesis is that Marilyne put all “her eyes” on the same basket, and that tells me more than a speech from Sami and Céline about the genocide of indigenous peoples.
