Everybody's got an opinion.

Every Californian and Virginian.

It's so hard to tell who to trust and who to ignore.

Someone's gotta settle the score.

Trey and Chelsea will help you choose.

Whose views win?

Which ones lose?

Online haters are coming for you.

Baby, it's time to review the reviews!

All right.

Welcome back to our coverage of the Yelp reviews for Speed

Dating for New York Minute.

Okay.

In part one, we heard the one star review.

And now as we've been teasing, we are going to hear the

other side of the coin here.

Try.

Now we're going to hear the five star.

Yes.

But before we do, Chelsea, I think it's time that we take a quick little spin.

On the Meryl go round.

Let's do it.

I don't feel like an icon as I feel like icon.

That's with an A.

Alright, here's the deal.

Trey and I have each picked a rotten, scathing, pithy one star zinger and

with 30 seconds on the clock we'll take turns trying to recite the

zinger in as many genres as possible.

Just like Queen Meryl Streep, who does it all.

Before the clock runs out,

all right, I try you go first.

You want me to go first?

Yes.

All right.

So in honor of the love theme, I found this one star walmart.

com review for a Jessica Simpson perfume called fancy love.

Fancy love.

No idea.

Okay.

Um, and this is not, um, Amazon customer.

This is Walmart customer.

They don't want to self identify.

Now their, their, um, subject is, it's a no for me, doesn't smell right.

But their review is, it smells like hairspray.

Okay.

Okay.

That was so funny.

Um, I'm going to strap you into that giant can of hairspray from like

Hairspray the Musical where they like bring them in like a Trojan horse.

Mm hmm.

You know what I'm talking about?

Of course I do.

Okay.

So that's what you're strapped in on.

Here we go.

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

Let's do it.

Three, two, one.

Shakespeare.

It smells like a hairspray.

Adult film.

Smells like hairspray.

TLC reality.

Smells like hairspray.

Disaster.

It smells like hairspray.

Devil Evangelist.

It smells like a hairspray, Jesus Christ.

Disney.

Oh, she's got a secure spoon!

Magic show!

Secure spoon!

Okay, I'll give it to you.

You gave us a visual.

Thank you.

That was really good.

All right, you got one, two,

seven!

D. Va, very good!

Thank you.

Amazing job.

Okay.

My one star zinger, I decided to explore the LA side of speed dating and my

one star zinger and I found a company called The three day rule matchmaking.

This is a one star Yelp review that is written by Cynthia S And

the review is quite succinct.

Terrible.

Oh, wow.

They don't hold back.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Are you ready?

Melodrama.

Disc jockey.

This is a terrible.

Opera diva.

True crime doc.

Terrible.

Magic show.

Terrible!

Yankee.

Terrible!

Lifetime.

Terrible!

Spy.

Terrible.

Lime.

WWE.

Terrible!

2, 4, 6, 8. Ten!

Woo!

I'm terrible.

I only had one word.

But still, you had the clarity of mind.

Aw, thank you.

Good job!

Thank you.

You really did it.

Oh my goodness.

I can't believe it.

Well, I am so excited to hear this five star review because I obviously have

my opinions about New York Minute, and I want to see if you can sway them.

So, to start us off.

Yeah, let's, let's take a little gander over here.

So.

Today, I have this five star written by Elizabeth C, who

lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Brooklyn in the house.

And here we go.

I won't use NY Minute dating services anymore because I already found my

Mr. Right through one of their events.

I recommend their speed dating events and their singles cruises

to all of my friends all the time.

Some of my friends have met their significant others

through these events, too.

They really do work.

I had attended three past events.

One was a speed dating event on Valentine's Day in 2012 at a venue called

Slate on 21st Street and 5th Avenue.

The second speed dating event was at the DL. on Delancey Street.

My final event was not a speed dating event.

It was one of their singles cruise around Manhattan on March 26th, 2013.

Great drinks.

Great music.

Great people.

Parentheses.

I made lots of new friends that night.

And I met my B. F. that night there.

Highly recommend.

OK, so by cruise, do we mean the Circle Line?

You were waiting on that.

It's their single.

She's dying at herself.

I

mean, it's gotta be the Circle Line.

Oh my God.

Sorry.

I

used to live right near the Circle Line, so.

So

that is the review.

Okay.

I thought you had something else to say.

Okay.

So this feels a little saccharine to me, Trey.

Um, I have my thoughts on this.

I don't know that this is an authentic review.

I shouldn't be so accusatory right out of the gate because maybe there is a

world in which this is Elizabeth C's truthful experience, but something just

smells fishy because I feel like the whole review was like, uh, Just an ad.

It was like, I met my husband and started my friends.

You know what?

I gave it three times.

One said Slate, which I love, by the way.

On 21st he used to go to acting school right next door.

Love Slate.

It's great.

Once was that sling, one was downtown, and the third was the big

one, the cruise around Manhattan.

Um, it just felt very sales pitchy to me.

I, I see that read on it.

Like, it's interesting to me because all of the specifics

feel a little unnecessary.

Like, I don't need to know that it was at the DL or whatever, like, that's weird.

But I actually appreciated, like, it was actually the singles cruise.

That's not the circle line that like profitable for me, but right now that

you mentioned that I am sort of like, Oh,

I'm sure that's like the most expensive event, you know?

So I don't know.

It feels a little odd.

I agree with you.

I also think the specifics that they gave, I wish they had spoken

more about their significant other.

I wish they had been like, I met them and like, this was, I don't

know, just like gotten more into.

Yeah.

What they were both doing there and how they met and why they were such a good

match and just like something to make me feel like this relationship is real.

So that was written April 22nd, 2015.

Okay.

On December 2nd, 2018.

So three years later.

We get an updated review.

Oh God,

okay.

I got engaged over the summer!

My fiancé and I met at an minute dating event.

I couldn't be happier.

I wrote an email directly to Jen at the company and she wrote me such

a nice email congratulating us.

I didn't know if she would remember me since it's been a few years since I last

attended one of their events, but she did.

They offered to pay for our wedding pictures slash video as a gift.

How sweet is that?

They're really amazing people.

Okay, now I'm even more convinced that this is fake.

Or, and, or, and, or, coerced, like, extremely coerced.

Really?

Yes, Trey.

They're paying for their photo, like, it's just like, okay, so, if I meet my

significant other on your thing, then you're gonna pay for my wedding photos.

Like, it just feels so I don't believe it.

You sent me a picture of the engagement ring.

I mean, it, it, it could be Elizabeth

has also attached a photo, so you'll see it up on the screen now.

Am I just like a total cynic because I'm single and I just like.

Don't want to believe that this is true.

Maybe I don't know but I also feel like it.

It's just like

too Complimentary,

but maybe that's just

the verbose way that Elizabeth speaks

It could be it could be um, all right the spelling and grammar Was fine,

right?

Like is there is there any unique valuable information?

I would say if you see a photo of an engagement ring in a review of this thing,

then that's probably going to be valuable.

If we look a little deeper, are we starting to question?

But if this

is the same company that has actors and stand ins, I feel like it's pretty easy

to find, like Literally, you can just Google a picture of an engagement ring.

Touche.

Thank you.

I have several for drag.

Uh, that's right.

That could

be your hand.

This looks like, how dare you, I have much prettier fingers.

No offense, Elizabeth, that was a joke.

Okay.

Um, okay.

Yeah.

Spelling

grammar is fine.

Like, there's not really anything to talk about.

Right.

And then obviously been going back and

forth on the truthful shady.

The shady scale is high for me, but maybe I'm a cynic.

Well, it's funny because I didn't get that read on the first

one,

like at all, except I was like, why is she saying like the restaurant?

Like this is so weird.

Yeah.

But when you started putting out, I was like, Oh, but then it is sort

of like, Oh, I totally buy that.

Right.

And then I'm also like, it's so valuable.

I know how valuable it would be to have a engagement ring.

Totally.

Review.

Right.

You mean like it's valuable for the company.

Mm hmm.

Yeah.

I mean, there must be, at very least, there's like, a big incentive, like,

if you write us a review, and like, you've met here, we will pay for

your, you know, like, there's gotta be We'll pick your wedding pictures.

Exactly.

I was like, I thought she was gonna say they paid for the frickin wedding.

I know, I thought I was gonna say that at first, too.

Like what?

Okay.

Yeah.

So do we think that this is common?

I mean, you were in the five star world.

Did you come across other engagements?

To be fair, there weren't that many to pick from.

Okay.

Just full disclosure.

Sure.

And um, the ones that were, were sort of like, you know, they

were like cynically, you know,

Realistic that it's like a crapshoot.

I mean, no matter how you go about dating, no matter what the

convention is that you put around it.

It's like, you know,

yeah, I think that's it.

I think I wish there was a little bit more of that in like that

groundedness in the reviewer.

It was like I had the hardest time dating.

I had the hardest time.

Like, give me something.

Give me something.

Give me story.

Okay.

All right.

So I feel

that to like something.

I don't know why, but something doesn't.

I don't like Elizabeth.

Like, if it was that easy,

you, like, you wouldn't even need the speed dating.

Like, I don't know.

It's like, give me a little drama, Elizabeth.

I want more.

But sometimes people don't have any drama in their life.

How is that possible, Trey?

I don't know, but sometimes people just f ing go to a singles

cruise and they f ing get engaged.

I guess.

But then I, even more so.

Think that Elizabeth is the anomaly.

Were we humored?

I was humored by the circle line.

I thought

you were going to say Elizabeth is the devil.

I don't know why I thought that's what you were going

to say.

No, I don't think that they're the devil.

I think they might be Jen.

Oh, really?

Maybe.

Well, Jen, let us know.

Was it

you?

Defend yourself.

Humor, entertained.

I told you I was entertained by the circle line, but I'm entertained by the idea

of calling something a cruise that is just like a little like dip rum and hat.

Oh, but like so many companies do that.

I know.

I know.

I don't know how entertained I am.

My whole perspective has been shifted from this conversation.

So that is entertaining.

Okay.

Interesting.

Yes.

Okay.

So the impact, do you feel like if you are just looking at Chrissy and

Elizabeth C comparing their reviews?

Do you think it's worth it to go to this company?

You know, maybe this is the proof of concept on this, these versus

episodes because I literally came into today being like, there's no denying

the, it's like a engagement ring.

Like that's what you want.

But I feel so influenced by Chris sees on star that I'm like, let me go back

and look at these other 64 reviews.

Because I don't, I don't know.

I feel like the truth always lands a little in the middle, but I, where

Chris C had so many meticulous points about X, Y, and Z could be fact

checked or exaggerate, whatever.

We don't get much of anything from our five star, which may

be like the proof, you know, a picture's worth a thousand words.

But even the fact that the hand isn't like with the man or like

maybe you don't want to put his face on but it's like, I don't know.

I really feel completely different than how I thought I would at

this coming into this episode.

Alright,

well I think you should think about that while we crown.

Should we do it?

Yeah, let's do it.

Okay.

Okay.

The queens

are tabulating.

Time

for school.

Okay, I'm holding up two crowns.

Trey's holding up three and a half crowns.

I'll go first.

I just don't believe them.

I think that maybe I'm a total cynic and that's where the two crowns came from

because I could be totally wrong and Elizabeth C maybe really did, you're the

one in a million and you met your person.

It's totally possible that it could have happened, but because I didn't have any

gravitas there, I didn't have anything else to really balance out the review.

It felt really saccharine to me and because of that, I could only give you

two crowns, but Trey gave you three and a half, so why'd you do that?

Just because.

In the details, Elizabeth points out they took the cruise in March

of 2013, they leave a review in April of 2015, and then they show

the engagement of December of 2018.

So there's a long enough, I mean, I don't know, the whole timeline of this

Yelp review section is confusing to me.

Yes.

With when Jen chooses to reply.

It's like.

Also, it's worth nothing, but there is a reply from the owner that's literally, Hi

Elizabeth, thank you very much for sharing your experience with the Yelp community.

Like that's your reply to someone who has an engagement ring photo?

Weird, weird.

Especially considering how passionate we were about our last reply

and when you like offered to pay for their pictures and videos

Like you just wrote one sentence,

right?

Something's odd Yeah,

I don't know I don't think I'm gonna use this company,

sorry I don't know guys if you have been to any of these events Let us know in the

comments Are there any like speed dating organizations that you do recommend?

Let us know in the comments because I feel like

what makes a good speed dating event.

Oh,

asking our audience.

I think being clumped into groups based on your favorite diva.

I think so.

I think that was a great idea.

Okay.

Someone should take note of that.

Watch that's going to become like the next million dollar idea.

Right.

Better be patented by us.

We have so many patents here on Review That Review.

All right.

Well, that was super fun.

I'm glad that we did that.

I feel thank you again, Taylor, for the suggestion.

I feel like it was a good one.

I think this was fertile soil, and I'm really glad we did this.

Love you, Queens.

Keep your crowns up.

We'll see you on Wednesday for an entirely new topic.

I wonder what it will be.

Hmm, so curious.

So curious.

That's my beard.

Ah, so fun.

Honestly, I'm so glad I don't have to do a speed dating event

' cause you're married.

Some of us might need to actually go on speed date.

I just think that even if I was single, that is not the

environment for me to thrive in.

It seems like very stressful, like it's just too, but also maybe it's good

because if it's speed dating and I'm like, this is awkward, it's thank you next.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Something about that.

Just how does anyone, what if we did a

review, like a review queen's speed dating?

What would that

be?

Okay, so it'd be like, you'd be looped together by your favorite review platform.

Oh, yes.

That sounds good.

And you would talk about, maybe you would share like a favorite review

and see if you like get along based on your decided humor about reviews.
