Chantz and Riani are exposed as liars on Love at First Lie

In the premiere episode of Love at First Lie, the contestants introduced themselves to viewers as couples who were madly in love with each other. Although some managed to convince viewers, others fell flat with their attempts.

While introducing herself to other couples, Riani revealed herself to be an aesthetician who specializes in skincare. In a confessional, she said:

"We're coming, and I warn you, we're dangerous."

Calling herself the "Puerto Rican queen," the Love at First Lie contestant confessed to being a fitness fanatic who "likes to be cute." According to Riani, Chantz, who is a runway and print model, is her "her king."

The duo met at high school homecoming in 2014. They confessed to dating for three years and also revealed that they broke up for two years in between. Explaining more about the same, Chantz said:

"I was young and dumb. I made a mistake that I will never make again."

Love at First Lie host Tori Spelling helped the couples figure out the fakes among them with an ice breaker game. The game had pairs spin a board and act on what it tells them to do. The couples had to undertake a variety of tasks, which raised suspicions among other contestants.

Riani and Chantz were asked to showcase their love, but their kiss failed to convince people. Speaking about it, fellow contestant Jake said:

"It's the most unconvincing kiss that I've ever seen. It was just so much movement."

The other couples on Love at First Lie echoed Jake's sentiments and stated that the kiss was "over the top" and "fake." Later on in the episode, Chantz doubted Yuri's sexuality and thought he was gay, which didn't sit well with the latter as well as Jake.

At the Truth Ceremony, where people had to vote for who they felt was the fake couple, Jake accused Chantz of misgendering them as well as Yuri, leading to a big blowout between the two. The episode ended with most of them voting out Riani and Chantz.

Riani and Chantz were the first couple to be voted off Love at First Lie and were revealed to be liars. In fact, the latter identified himself as gay and said that he targeted Yuri because he wanted to ward off suspicion.
