Exploring the beef between Perfect Match season 2 stars Jessica and Melinda

The recent episodes of Perfect Match season 2 were full of surprises. A new addition to the show arrived at a boy’s party, when single women were newly introduced in the house. It was a turnover moment in the show as the bonds of old couples were put to the test and some even appeared to fail.

Season 2 of Perfect Match is currently available on Netflix. The show revolves around the format of a dating reality show and hosts single contestants from other shows on Netflix, putting them all in a villa, and making them bond organically to form a match. The contestants go through elimination if they are not able to find a match. The last ones to survive as a match win the show.

Jessica and Harry have been a couple from episode 3. Harry expressed his intense passion towards Jessica and made it quite evident throughout the show, frequently talking about their marriage proposition in the show itself. The couple was going strong until the recent episode, where new female contestants were introduced.

The latest episode of season 2 of Perfect Match witnessed Harry flirting with Melinda, the new addition to the show. Harry and Melinda allegedly kissed during the recent episode of the show. Things got heated when the original female contestants come back to the villa.

They sat to talk about what happened during the all-boys party. Melinda told Jessica that Harry kissed her thrice and has been flirting ever since. Melinda said:

"He picked me up. he carried me. so, I am face to face, and it's awkward. I did not give him eye contact and then he just kissed me. He does it again. he did it again, so I kissed him back."

Following this, Jessica confronted Melinda over the alleged kiss.

“How does that make you feel like are you proud but it's looking like you want to embarrass me?”

While Jessica went after Melinda, she appeared cool about Harry’s flirting spree. Although Harry completely denied the kiss, Melinda was adamant that the kiss happened. Harry, during a conversation with Jessica, mentioned the episode where he carried Melinda, but denied kissing her. Subsequently, Jessica told Melinda that Harry’s recollection of the event was different.

" I do appreciate you telling me because his recollection was different. I just wish that you would have told me in a more private manner."

Perfect Match season 2 also witnessed another couple failing this test. Kaz, who was matched with Micah, formed a match with a new contestant, Christine. Also, Elys, who shared a perfect match with Justin, decided to break the match and go with Bryton after his re-entry as a single.

Jessica showed her skepticism after the alleged kissing fiasco and the couple is allegedly going through a rough patch now. What happens to this couple will be revealed during the finale of the show. Thus, fans are excited to witness the finale and see who ends up winning as the "perfect match" title.


The season finale of The Perfect Match season 2 will be streaming on Netflix on June 21.
