"She broke Justin's heart and couldn't even be bothered to have a conversation with him BEFORE matching with Bryton. This was just unacceptable!!!!!!!" a fan wrote.

Many seemed unhappy with how Elys treated Justin, accusing her of blindsiding him, while he remained loyal to her.

"You honestly gotta be dumb to choose a**hole Bryton over sweetheart Justin. #PerfectMatch #PerfectMatchNetflix," a fan wrote.

Fans also criticized how Elys resorted to strategies to get along with Bryton. Bryton showed interest in Micah, but Elys sabotaged their chances since she harbored a grudge against Micah for bringing Jessica, Harry's type, into the house.

"Bro I don't f*cking like elys she just wants everyone to suffer because she didn't get Harry #perfectmatch," one person wrote.

"I can't stand Elys to be honest. Her entire goal since staying has been to ruin things for everyone else. Why does she wanna ruin things for Micah and Kaz? She's such a weirdo #perfectmatch," another person wrote.

However, some netizens defended Elys's decision to pair with Bryton.

"yall are so dramatic she doesn't need to marry these ppl after a couple days of matching the only villain in Harry," a fan commented.

"Elys could never ever be villain after voluntarily splitting the prize money with Dre on Too Hot to Handle fr," another fan wrote.

"Actually no. Harry left her for dead, Elys actually wanted to be amicable with Justin and talk to him," wrote another fan.

Why Bryton and Elys match in episode 9 of Perfect Match season 2?

Elys began her journey on Perfect Match with Harry as her first match. They appeared as one of the strongest couples in the house. However, things turned for the worse when Kaz and Micah sent Harry on a date with Love is Blind's alumni Jessica. She felt betrayed by Micah's decision to set Harry up with a girl who was his "type to a T." By the end of episode 3, Harry switched from Elys to Jessica, while Elys formed an alliance of convenience with her friend, Chris, to avoid elimination.

On the other hand, Bryton was already sent home in episode 2 Perfect Match, after Dominique chose to pair with Chris over him. Their relationship was unstable from the start as fans mostly saw them arguing.

Bryton and Elys reconnected in episode 8 when the eliminated contestants visited the girls on their day out. Elys opened up about her relationship with her then-match Justin and said it was going "too fast." While speaking about Bryton in episode 9 of Perfect Match, she said:

"I don't know if it's just lust, but something's pulling me towards him."

Even when Justin was confessing his feelings to Elys, she seemed distracted. Feeling threatened by Bryton's advances toward Micah, Elys quickly matched with him, without informing Justin.

After Justin discovered what went on behind his back, he voluntarily walked out of the Perfect Match house. Due to Bryton's unavailability, Micah was compelled to couple up with Izzy since her match, Kaz chose Christine over her. Fans are curious about the longevity of Elys and Bryton's match as they step into the finale of Perfect Match season 2.
