E545 Francesca Farago: Likable Villain G...

Nick Viall
About this episode

Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Perfect Match’s Francesca Farago to get the truth about her time on the show, if her portrayal was accurate, and the secrets other cast members were hiding. Which guy sent her a sweaty video saying “I’m coming for you” prior to filming? We dive into her matches on the show (does she feel like she led Dom on?), dating history (on screen and off), and her current relationship. We then have a Texting Office Hours caller who kissed her friend's coworker but isn’t sure if his follow up text is a red flag. We wrap up with Francesca and figure out what the future holds for her… engagement? Children? We get all the answers.

“There was a full storyline that wasn’t shown.”
