Since the start of the series, many fans have shared their concerns about Virginia’s drinking habits and this was the case with the show’s latest episode as well.
One viewer tweeted: “Have we ever seen Virginia sober? In all seriousness, I really think she might be a functioning alcoholic.”
Another fan wrote: “Virginia is not a good look for the pilot. She doesn’t even carry herself like a woman who is married and the binge drinking is very unbecoming.”
Someone else asked: “Is it just me or does Virginia have a drinking problem?”
Many viewers have also criticised the experts for matching Erik and Virginia as a lot of them don’t see the two together in the long run.

After their wedding, a lot of viewers have called out the show’s matchmaking experts, claiming that Erik and Virginia have been matched for “drama” and “ratings”.
Following criticism from fans, Dr. Viviana Coles wrote in a now-deleted post (via CheatSheet.com):
“These comments are disgusting. I can’t hold my tongue anymore. These are real people. I’m so glad you ‘care’ about them but your accusations and assumptions don’t reflect that.
“Wish them well and watch their journey. Anything else is just mean-spirited and thoughtless. You don’t know them. You likely won’t ever know them in their hearts. Stop the nastiness.”
