“A lot more free”- Perfect Match star Freddie compares the show to Love is Blind

Perfect Match season 3, episodes 7 to 9, were released on August 8, 2025. The dynamics of the villa shifted when the men and women split up to meet new singles. Several men spent time with the newcomers during their time away, upsetting their original partners.

Freddie and Madison's relationship grew stronger after Madison was separated from Freddie and sent on a date. They both hailed from different versions of Love is Blind, a show where contestants hope to find a life partner. Their shared commitment-focused values drew them closer and sustained their bond.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Freddie spoke about the differences between Perfect Match and Love is Blind.

"Both were amazing sort of experiences, but this one[Perfect Match] was a lot more free and sort of fun," Freddie said.

What did Perfect Match season 3 star Freddie say about his experience on the show?

When the interviewer asked Freddie about his experience on the show, he said he hadn't watched it before shooting, so it was a bit of a gamble. He agreed with what his co-star Louis had said moments earlier, noting that the show was about growing and learning about oneself.

"Of course it was fun. It was totally different to Love is Blind," he stated.

He explained that while Perfect Match was more enjoyable and thrilling, Love is Blind was "very heavy." He said the fun came from the challenge aspect of it and the phase where they got to know their partners. He added that it was a lot more easygoing and chill.

While Freddie was talking to the interviewer, Louis pulled Ollie's ear, who was sitting in front of him. Ollie didn't know who did it, so he asked them what was going on. Louis said it wasn't him, and the boys burst out laughing.

Ollie also stated that having a wedding on their plate at a time when they were expecting a baby was hard, but those were "good stressors." The interviewer then asked the girls what made them okay with dating on reality TV. Lucy joked that they were mentally unstable, adding that it made the dating process quicker.

AD said she agreed to date again on TV because she needed redemption.

"I just needed something chill, something fun. I wanted to be hot and not crying all the time. So I was like, Perfect Match might give me that," she added.

Louis said that this time on the show, he wanted to find someone he could match with perfectly. He said his former show, Too Hot to Handle, was different because there, they only had to test if they could practice restraint against their partners. In Perfect Match, however, their partnerships were tested based on different challenges, and he learned a lot from that.
