«5 guys for me»: how is the new Sky dating show

The final goal is the same as always: love, in its television version that is palatable. Five guys for me, an Italian adaptation of an English format of the same name, has an impalpable prize up for grabs, the promise of a lasting relationship that can bring children, a family, and fulfill the wishes of those who participate. What changes, in the Sky show, at the debut on Sky Uno in the early evening of Thursday 22 April, it is not, therefore, the end, but the means. The dating show, in its first edition, does not have a study, the mediation of experts or opinion leaders.

It has no one who investigates love affairs, taking the trouble to look up from the detail of a single story to highlight problems, traits common to every couple who want to define themselves as such. What he has, Five guys for me, is a protagonist. Then, five suitors.

The show, unlike the many that have seen and still see each other, wanted to leave the running of the game in the hands of its boys. IS what has emerged is a gigantic exterior of Men women, where there is no beginning or end: only people determined to fall in love. The first episode explained it clearly. Isabella, a twenty-seven-year-old flight attendant, determined to find a companion with whom to build the family harmony that she was denied as a child, asked her sister, Marika, to leave the shared house to make room for five boys. unknown. Christian, Andrea, Luca, Jesus and Angelo showed up at the door, each with their own suitcase. Isabella welcomed them, gave them a bed. Then, he tried to get to know them, choosing day by day who to eliminate. The decision came quickly for Isabella. The 27-year-old, thanks to the presentation of the five to mother and sister, who intervened separately on the show, managed to figure out who would be the man for her. IS, in the space of a single episode, he made his choice.

No studio applauded her, no conductor or expert asked her to account for the decision. Five guys for me it ended as it began, without frills and without mediation. And, perhaps, the only flaw, at the end of the episode, was not knowing what future Isabella and the man she chose as her partner had.
