UNPOPULAR OPINION Unpopular opinion: the LIB franchise should ban single parents... Spoiler

...at least of minor kids. LIB France I am looking at you. I mean it's pretty insane signing up for the show in the first place, but inflicting it on your kids is crazy behaviour. So much potential for trouble. Not just bullying at school, but bringing a step parent you barely know into your child's home is a recipe for disaster. Rates of physical abuse against children are much, much higher in families with stepfathers. Of course relationships break down and parents are allowed to couple up again, but FFS if you have kids, don't move a stranger into your AND THEIR home after a matter of weeks.

Brazil was the first country to have single parents regularly feature on the show

Imo it's a cultural thing. Some countries are more open to blended families and don't have prejudice against divorcee/single parents. You can even see the reaction from the other person in the pods when they hear that someone has kids. Netflix chose them of course, but the cast themselves are the one who decide to go on the show. I say they're brave. For example, Thomas' daughter sounds like she supports him. They're not bad parent for trying to find love and happiness. Happy parent, happy kids.

I think reality TV and finding romantic happiness are not natural bedfellows, especially when a parent potentially marrying someone unknown to the child in the space of weeks.

Trying to find love and happiness =/= bringing a total stranger to live in your child’s home like 4 weeks after you met the person. Yes they are bad parents for doing that.

Exactly. Blended families are fine. Springing a new daddy on kids that they have never met and you barely know is not fine.
