We Spoke To Lisa And Patrick From ‘Love Triangle’ And Here’s The Tea They Spilt

The Stan Original Dating Series Love Triangle has to be one of the most chaotic reality shows Australia has ever produced.

The Stan series has six singles moving in with strangers after only being allowed to get to know one another over text and phone calls. In the first episodes, the singles had to choose between two different suitors, which meant that one was essentially dumped for the other person.

But things are about to get spicy! On the latest episodes, despite our couples now living together and trying to form relationships, the third person has reappeared. The singles received texts from the people they dumped and they then went on dates with the person they rejected to test whether they made the right choice.

If this wasn’t awkward enough, the third person looks set to move in with the already formed couples. If you don’t laugh, you might cry.

This new development promises high drama, especially between Lisa and Patrick, as Lisa just confessed her true feelings for Patrick after he freaked out over the idea she had kissed another man. Sorry Patty, but that other man is about to sleep in your bed, share your couch, and potentially your girlfriend.

Lisa and Patrick have become the couple everyone talks about since their horny debut at Love Triangle’s first dinner party that allowed the other couples to mingle. Between the couple spilling all the details of their sex life to Patrick stirring drama with the couples he deems ‘boring’ or ‘playing it safe’, Lisa and Patrick tend to divide opinion.

So who better to sit down with for a chat to try to extract some delicious tea?

We spoke to Lisa and Patrick from Love Triangle and the tea was piping:

Why did you want to do this show?

Lisa: When it comes to dating, I can be a picky person! In this world of modern dating, sadly we tend to judge a book by its cover. However, I started to realise most of my best dates were with people I had deep connections with that weren’t based on what they looked like.

[The chance to] remove any form of prejudice by not knowing what the other person looked like and letting someone else take the controls of my love life appealed to me, so I could genuinely form a connection without quickly dismissing them for how they looked. Then being forced to live with them means I can’t run away and I would need to invest in forming a further connection rather than moving on to the next best thing.

Patrick: I wanted to force myself to commit to a challenge where love was the journey not the goal.

What did you like about each other at first and what did you dislike?

L: I liked Patrick’s drive, hard work, and ambitions. I disliked the fact that it seemed like he wasn’t in this experience for the right reasons.

P: Lisa is stunning. I love her natural free-flowing beauty and she’s just herself, and doesn’t give a damn.

You’re both known for being the most sexual couple on the show. Is that an accurate reflection of your journey or was there more to your relationship?

L: It was a part of it but it wasn’t an accurate reflection of our relationship as a whole. There was more to our journey and relationship than just being comfortable openly talking about sex/sexual intimacy. We would have deep and meaningful conversations with each other, but we wouldn’t have these conversations with the other couples, yet we would be okay openly talking about sex. That’s what other couples would struggle to understand.

There was more substance to our relationship than just sex and when we would start to open up about our feelings, other couples got an insight to another side of us. Overall, we’re just more comfortable talking about sex than talking about our feelings, as it made us feel vulnerable. Our feelings are what meant more to us, so we would struggle to openly talk about that.

P: What’s more to a relationship than making sweet love? We also had a lot of respect for each other.

How important is sexual compatibility in a relationship?

L: It is important to me as my love languages are physical touch and words of affirmation. It’s not just about being sexual (in the bedroom) but being on the same page with different levels of intimacy and communicating what each person is comfortable with, how open minded they are, their desires and feelings about sexual intimacy.

Being sexually compatible with someone means deeply knowing another person and feeling deeply known: what makes the other person tick, whether that be physically or emotionally!

P: Sex, laughter, and friendship — in that order.

You guys didn’t always rub the other couples the right way, why do you think some of the couples had issues with you?

L: I’d say it’s because I can be forthright, and some people often don’t like hearing the truth as it can hurt. It’s not my intention to rub people off the wrong way just because I’m being honest. Sometimes I question if honesty is the best policy but I’d rather be honest/direct than be fake behind someone’s back.

P: I think it triggered some flaws in their own relationships, so I do feel like I did them a massive favour.

Patrick, you said that you suspected many of the contestants were sitting on the fence, what does that mean?

P: Well, they weren’t being honest about their relationship, and that’s a fact.

Lisa, was it difficult being matched with someone like Patrick who seemed to enjoy chaos and conflict?

L: Yes it was, as it made me question if this is what he’s like in a group environment during an experience like this, if this is actually what he’d be like in the real world sitting at a dinner table with my best friends with their partners.

Patrick, did you come on the show wanting to stir up drama?

P: No, I came in to have a good time and to nurture and protect my relationship.

When the Love Triangle twist came into play, what was your first thought?

L: I didn’t want to hurt Patrick’s feelings in the process of this experience but I had to follow through and trust the process of this opportunity of what’s being presented to me.

P: I don’t want to lose Lisa.

Given everything you know now, do you regret doing the show?

L: Absolutely not! I was given an opportunity and I went all in!

P: I am so blessed to be a part of a thrilling rollercoaster that was Love Triangle.
