Tolú Ekundare's journey on Perfect Match season 2
At the start of the season, Tolú was matched with Izzy based on the ranking system the players followed. She was later sent on a date with Dom by Elys and Harry, the winners of the compatibility challenge in episode 2.
Her date with Dom was naturally fun and free-flowing, which made her match with him. Dom's surety of Tolú was reflected when he told Harry about how perfect he thought Tolú was for him. However, Tolú position in the game was threatened when he flirted with Alara, trying to match with her.
She combatted it by sending herself on a date with Jake, after winning the coveted compatibility challenge in episode 4. Despite their smooth date, she didn't match with Jake and went for Chris instead, sending Dom home. She has been with Chris ever since and will be seen going into the finale episode with him.
The finale episode of Perfect Match season 2 drops on June 21, on Netflix.
