This continues to be a solid show to have on in the background while multi-tasking or getting ready for bed. I actually liked a small handful of the contestants as people this time around---the sasquatch and tigress were particularly cute together, and seemed like people I might actually get along well with! I also felt bad for a sweet scarlet macaw who got rejected, and who mentioned he likes to make graphs. Otherwise, the dates are usually pretty boring, and the people are typically dull and unforgettable when compared to the contestants on, say, Love on the Spectrum.
What's disappointing and revealing is that almost nobody ever gets into character--and if they do, they don't stay there--and that they fundamentally see the masks as a barrier to full connection and self-expression, not an enhancement, extension, or complement. Furries, in contrast, see their fursonas and fursuits as extensions of themselves which allow them to connect with others and express themselves even more fully.
I think it would be interesting to allow the contestants on this show to design their masksonas, and I wonder if that would add some spice and life to the whole affair.
