Love Triangle's Payton

Love Triangle is starting to get spicy, with episode three seeing all the singles and their first suitors mingle at a cocktail party, where one suitor was caught saying some pretty controversial things off camera.

Payton Ellicotts chosen suitor, Jordan, decided to tell everyone but Payton that the two were in the “friend zone” while seeming flirtatious with Marissa.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Jordan was then sprung in an off-camera moment saying some very distasteful things about Payton, seemingly unaware that he was still mic’d up.

Admitting he’s not attracted to his match, Jordan then says, he wants someone “small, tanned, and ethnic”.

“Fuck you man, you know I’m not attracted to that,” Jordan said to someone, about Payton. “I asked for small, tanned, ethnic… She is the complete opposite in every single thing.

“Literally any other girl here I would be into,” he continued. “If I fucked her or whatever then I’m like even more of a fuckwit. Like, there’s just no way I’m not looking like an arsehole after this, dude.”

Is it possible to forget you’re mic’d up on camera? Love Triangle stars weigh in

With Jordan seemingly forgetting in that moment that he was on a TV show, we decided to ask other people who have been part of the show how easy it is to forget you’re mic’d up.

Love Triangle Season 2 star Alan Wallace said it was “virtually impossible” not to know your mic was still on. “You usually ask your sound guy to mute your mic,” he said. “If you’re still wearing a mic, just don’t say anything dumb, surely it’s common sense.”

Melinda, from Season 3, told Chattr it was possible to forget but she personally couldn’t, revealing that they were mic’d up even to go to the toilet.

“I think at times you probably do forget that. For me personally, I couldn’t even pee in peace,” she laughed. “But other people might become comfortable and forget.”

New episodes of Love Triangle drop every Sunday on Stan.
