On Friday, OWN’s “The Never Ever Mets” takes another awkward, hilarious, and occasionally heartwarming step into the world of online dating. Seven couples, each having forged a connection in the digital ether, are now three weeks into their real-world cohabitation experiment. This week’s episode, “Whining and Dining,” cranks up the heat with some, shall we say, intimate exercises.
From stolen glances to full-blown arguments, the transition from virtual romance to physical presence is rarely smooth. For some, the sparks fly. For others, the reality check hits hard. This week, relationship boundaries become a major point of contention for at least one couple, threatening to derail their carefully constructed online fantasy.
Adding fuel to the fire is a game of confessions, a reality TV staple that almost always leads to tears, tantrums, and the occasional hurled wine glass. Who will spill the tea? Who will storm off in a huff? And who will discover that their online soulmate is actually their real-world nightmare?
“The Never Ever Mets” airs Friday, April 18 at 8:00 PM ET/PT on OWN.
