As a poly person, this show is FASCINATING to me. Closed triads are probably one of the hardest poly dynamics to make work, and for some reason they're the most common for beginners, so I hope this show teaches healthy communication and maybe convinces some people who watch it not to go unicorn hunting.

the gay couple sounds like the stereotype of the gay couple that opens a relationship. one wanted to open it, the other didn't but went along because they worried if they didn't it's either result in cheating or a break up, but they very much hate the whole thing and don't like seeing their partner with someone else. and while they might be fine with things like threesomes, anything else touches a nerve. because what i've seen with basically every gay throuple is the original couple ends up splitting up and one of them stays with the 3rd. that's like the biggest "joke" in the gay community about throuples. so it doesn't surprise me at all the gay couple being like that, with one being so put off by the whole thing he's literally pouting and sulking

That gong is *HUGE*! He's also hitting the gong with a felt-covered mallet. I think I can explain why everyone says it's loud, but it sounds quiet on the recording.
The size of a cymbal influences the frequencies that can come out of it. As you get larger, the higher frequencies start to go away, and the lower frequencies come out more. This is compounded by the fact that his mallet is covered in felt, which further dampens the brighter tones. Additionally, the larger a cymbal is, the longer it's able to ring. When an atonal sound rings for longer, it sounds louder than something instantaneous. Those factors combined, that gong is essentially a giant rave subwoofer. If you give that thing a good hit, it will ring for ages with a booming tone. I've only played gongs half that size and it's still otherworldly to stand next to a ringing gong and hear all the tones that come out of it.
I can only assume that the producers of the show wanted the biggest gong they could find without considering the challenges of mic'ing the instrument, or how loud it would actually be. Idk I've never seen the show, but I either assume that they just took the audio they captured and tried their best to make it audible, or they added a stock gong sound effect because they realized people couldn't hear it on their phones.

Anyone who isn't familiar with poly and doesn't understand the dynamics of the relationships they're pursuing should probably google the phrase "So, somebody called you a Unicorn Hunter?"
As a poly person I wanted to watch this because I do love seeing unicorn hunters suffer but unfortunately my experience makes it way too easy to see all the red flags that the "third" (god that language is dehumanising) is going to be treated like a disposable accessory

Hadn't heard of this show but now I am interested to see if they portray things in a healthy way or in a unicorn hunter kind of way. Its really rare to see healthy poly stuff portrayed in any media that isn't directly created by someone in the community. But it sounds like they did the best you could expect from a reality TV show.

but what if I wished you did watch the entire thing and recount it because I’d rather hear the Swell recap than actually watch the show?
