MILF Manor?

You inspired me to check and apparently it's actually a real thing (Wikipedia link) with 2 seasons too.

*clicks link *

Edit:

From the wikipedia:

The show currently has a 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[41] where critics describe it as "psychological torture" and "Freudian Horror".

Eight pairs of mothers and sons travel to a villa in Mexico to look for love. Upon arrival, the contestants are told that the sixteen contestants were to romantically pursue each other. The announcement is a surprise to the contestants; one contestant, April, stated that she thought her son would be on a separate retreat instead of in her dating pool

Checks out 🤮

The second season takes place in a lakefront chalet and instead features the younger men competing against their own fathers for the same pool of women.

Someone needs to go to prison for coming up with this premise

Holy shit. I'd actually heard of this before and thought it was one of those fake reality shows you see on TV shows like 30 Rock 😄

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

But that basically was a fake show on 30 Rock: “MILF Island” showed up in season 2 episode 11.

Oooohhhh, its a Step-MILF manor, now I get it.

Each mother-son pair shares a room. In the second episode, the contestants guess each other's deepest sex secrets, and one of the women reveals that she has had sex with her son's best friend.

Ok I can kinda see the draw. Trainwrecks are pretty interesting

Cody Ko has a funny video walking us through the plot of Milf Manor. https://youtu.be/3hxhHyCcBqw

Is it just me or is the woman in the blue dress missing a leg?

Huh, I see it too. Not sure I'm willing to do further investigation though.
