Match Me Abroad contestant comes to S'pore to find love
A repeat participant of American dating show Match Me Abroad, Harold Davis, has come to Singapore in an attempt to find his soulmate. In the reality series launched in 2023, expert matchmakers connect Americans with love overseas. Davis, a New Mexico native who previously introduced himself as someone on the autism spectrum, joined the show in its first season with the aim of finding a Czech partner. He grew close to a woman in Prague, but the relationship did not work out. The second season follows six Americans, including Davis, in pursuit of love. The 43-year-old, who lives in Texas and has become popular with fans of the show, said on Match Me Abroad that "dating in America hasn't worked out" for him. He switched locations on dating apps and found that he had the most success in Singapore. "I think because they see me as tall and cute. So I wish to go to Singapore to have my luck changed," he said in a trailer for the show. Davis said he finds women in Singapore "beautiful and sexy". He also noted that many women in Singapore state on their dating profiles that they enjoy anime, and he has "seen thousands and thousands of anime". He said it would be cool to "nerd out on all the same things" with his future soulmate. Harold also went on a "practice date" with an international matchmaker who goes by "Dolly", who played a "typical Singaporean woman". Their date took place at Artyzen Singapore, a hotel in Orchard. On the practice date, he gave Dolly a hand-drawn flower, describing himself as "an artist, inventor and designer". He later received feedback to "loosen up a little", as he appeared to be nervous and stiff. Davis also shared some of his experiences in Singapore on Instagram (@harolddavisii), including visiting The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, visiting a Toys 'R' Us shop, walking along Orchard Road and visiting a McDonald's outlet. On July 5, Davis posted about a date with "Cheezy", where they visited a cat cafe and enjoyed art together. He wrote in his caption: "Art cafe with cats, modern dating, a little behind the scenes, exploring Singapore." After the date, Cheezy noted that Davis was kind and gentle. His hands were clammy, however, which "was not a nice feeling" for her. The show airs on HBO Max from Aug 15.

Meanwhile Monica and Toni will be traveling to Brazil and guided by Luiza while Dolly will be keeping an eye on Harold and Sarah in Singapore. Without giving too much away, things appear to go a bit smoother in Brazil (where one of the singletons claims to be falling in love after a week... with two men) than Ireland where there is a confrontation on one date that sees one of the cast knock a glass out of her suitors hand and storm off). Popcorn time. Read on to find out how to watch "Match Me Abroad' season 2 online and from anywhere in the world. "Match Me Abroad" season 2 premieres on TLC on Sunday, June 22 at 10 p.m. ET/ PT. and is available to stream on Max the following day. No cable? You can watch TLC on a live TV service, like Sling / Hulu / Fubo or stream on Discovery+ or Max (the next day). Traveling outside the States? You'll need to use a VPN to unblock your usual streaming service when abroad. We recommend NordVPN. Sling TV is one of the most affordable live TV services on the market. The Sling Blue package includes more than 50 channels including Fox and NBC (in select cities), TLC, AMC, Bravo, Food Network, HGTV, Lifetime and USA. Right now get 50% off your first month!

You can still watch "Match Me Abroad" s2 thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. Ideal when you're away on vacation or on business. Our favorite is NordVPN. It's the best VPN on the market. There's a good reason you've heard of NordVPN. We specialize in testing and reviewing VPN services and NordVPN is the one we rate best.

Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list. 3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Fire up your website or streaming service of choice and tune in to "Match Me Abroad" season 2 just as you would at home. Unfortunately, there is no confirmed release date for "Match Me Abroad" season 2 in the U.K. but when it lands it will almost certainly be on TLC - available in the U.K. on Sky (Sky channel 133). You can also watch it on Virgin Media (Virgin channel 167). If you have a Sky Go subscription, you can watch TLC live on that app as well. Season 1 is currently available on Discovery+ so you'll have plenty of time to catch up. Americans on vacation in the U.K. can use a VPN if they want to watch via their usual domestic streaming platform from Sunday, June 22. As with the U.K., "Match Me Abroad" season 2 has no confirmed release date in Canada as yet. Historically, Canada's release date has lagged behind compared to their North American compatriots so don't expect it to drop straight away on Discovery+ after it has premiered in the U.S.. Those on vacation in the Great White North will need one of the best VPNs to log in back home as you will be geo-blocked when not in the Great North. We recommend NordVPN. It's a similar story Down Under, with no release date yet announced. However, when "Match Me Abroad" season 2 does arrive in Oz, it'll almost certainly stream on 9Now with season 1 currently ready to stream on the platform. Visiting Australia and don't want to wait? American fans can watch the show from anywhere by using a VPN such as NordVPN. HAROLD (NEW MEXICO) – SEARCHING FOR LOVE IN SINGAPORE Harold is back and more determined than ever.

SARAH (TEXAS) – IN SINGAPORE Glamorous and goal-oriented, Sarah knows exactly what she wants: a man who's established, family-minded, and ready to settle down.

AMBER (TEXAS) – IN IRELAND Amber dreams of a picture-perfect life filled with love, kids, and countryside charm. To make that dream a reality, she sets off to the place she finds most beautiful, Ireland, in hopes of finding a partner who shares her vision of a peaceful, family-focused future.

Irish TikTok saying the same thing as new TLC dating show makes its way to Ireland
Oh boy, who's gonna tell her? A new TLC dating show is doing the rounds on TikTok, after the show's trailer provoked a reaction from Irish fans. Match Me Abroad is a show that follows American singles as they embark on a cross-cultural dating adventure orchestrated by international matchmakers. Match Me Abroad is a show that follows American singles as they embark on a cross-cultural dating adventure orchestrated by international matchmakers. Pic: Getty Season two, which airs this June, sees a whole new host of singletons looking for love abroad, most interestingly Victoria and Amber, who both have a preference for someone of Irish descent. In a new clip from the show, which was shared to TikTok, Amber discusses why she's looking specifically for an Irish man, stating that they're 'very sexy' and that she loves their 'accents' and 'masculinity.' While Amber is certain she'll find the 'love of her life' on our shores, some Irish TikTok users aren't so sure. 'Irish woman here….I love her enthusiasm but her bubble probably about to be burst,' one Irish woman shared. 'I'm in Ireland x 10 years. Girls I don't wanna burst your bubble but,' another penned. 'Do we tell her or let nature take its course?' a third wrote, while a fourth shared the sentiment, adding: 'God love her, she doesn't even know yet.' Match Me Abroad season 2 will premiere on Sunday, June 22, 2025, and we're hopeful Amber's Irish love connection is doing better than some of ours. Yikes.
