If auditions took place in order to find the candidates for the first season of My mother, your father, certain participants were also recruited directly by the production.
Let us point out that this is not a completely unusual practice, many reality shows use this type of method, especially since My mother, your father was looking for single people between 40 and 60 years old who have children between 18 and 25 years old. These are criteria that could not be more precise. Add to this the fact that they and their children had to be available on the same date, in the middle of summer.
« My daughter, my oldest, is at TVA. They contacted her to see if it was something I was interested in », Tells us the real estate broker from Saint-Hyacinthe.
It surprised me, I started laughing and it was a categorical “no”.
« But, after reflection, […] through talking to them and understanding the concept, which didn’t seem like a concept to destroy people, I ended up saying “yes”. I told myself, if this happens in my life – I’m a bit of a challenge girl – there’s a reason. That’s why I decided to go there. »
She adds: “ At this age, meeting someone is not necessarily easy. We agree that going to meet someone in a bar is not necessarily what I’m looking for. »
« It helps to work on yourself too, to live in community with people you don’t know », she continues. “ Share your room with other girls. Me, I am a person who has a much easier time dealing with men. It’s less complicated, it’s simpler. It’s work that I had to do on myself, but it was good nonetheless. »
If you are interested in participating in the next version (if there is a next version), Karina has this advice for you: You have to see My mother, your father as “ a life experience that can allow you to meet beautiful people ».
« Maybe you can find love, but just for the work on yourself, it’s worth it. It’s a break to take care of yourself and allow yourself to meet other people who are going through the same thing. You shouldn’t create expectations and let life give you what it has to offer. »
