Francesca Farago's recent attempt at looking for love was anything but perfect.

The Perfect Match star got candid about her time on the reality show, alleging production was not straight-forward about the dating competition's logistics. In fact, she recently admitted she "probably wouldn't have done the show" if they had told her the truth.

"I was told that we would not be sharing rooms with men," Francesca explained on the Feb. 23 episode of the Viall Files podcast. "I was told it would be girls and boys, separate houses. So, I was like, 'Perfect, I'll do it.' But I'm not going to do it if I'm having to share a room because I had to do it with my ex on a show and I regretted it."

The Too Hot to Handle alum continued, "When the rules were dropped that we had to match up and go sleep in the same bed, I bawled my eyes out for a day. All that wasn't shown."

And she claims she wasn't the only one uncomfortable by the set-up (E! News has reached out to Netflix for comment).

"It was really uncomfy," the Netflix star told host Nick Viall. "I don't think a lot of people were comfortable with it and a lot of people didn't know that that was the fact when they left for filming."

So, what really happened once a pair matched up and found themselves alone in a bedroom?

"Usually a cameraman would follow you and then would just watch you either talk or make out, if people were making out," Francesca revealed. "But usually people weren't making out."

Outside of the world of reality television, the influencer gave an update about her relationship with TikTok boyfriend Jesse Sullivan. The pair met after filming wrapped and, as she put it, there will be wedding bells in their future.

"He's definitely the one, 100 percent," Francesca confirmed. "I wanted to be engaged yesterday. It was originally going to be a huge surprise—the ring was gonna be a surprise, the day was gonna be a surprise—but I want to have a say."

She concluded, "We had a day he was thinking about doing it, and then all the show drama happened, so we're waiting until after that blows over."
