“Perfect Match” Season 4 has no shortage of couples worth watching. Ally and Jimmy Presnell are chaotic and electric. Dave and Sophie are unexpectedly sweet. Demari and Marissa are a slow-motion implosion that nobody can look away from. But the couple fans are most genuinely, quietly rooting for is Jimmy Sotos and Alison Ogden — and it is not even close.
Here is why.
They Were Never the Loudest Couple in the Room
Part of what makes Jimmy and Alison so easy to root for is that they have never needed to be the center of attention to make their connection feel real. They didn’t have a dramatic first kiss or a blowout fight that clarified their feelings. They just kept choosing each other — episode after episode, quietly and consistently, while everyone else was spiraling around them.
Jimmy arrived in Episode 2 as one of three new singles and connected with Alison almost immediately. She told the cameras he looked like her crush when she was 15. He said she was physically his cup of tea and that he was terrified of that — because being drawn to someone that fast meant something. They went to a farmer’s market on their first date and talked about family and memory and what scared them. He came back holding her hand.
That was day two. They have not really wavered since.
Jimmy Sotos Is Easy to Root For
Jimmy Sotos is one of the most genuinely likable people in the villa, and it’s not because he is perfect. He is a former basketball player still figuring out who he is outside of the sport he built his whole identity around. He wants to open a coffee shop and live above it like the family in “Wizards of Waverly Place.” He references “High School Musical” unprompted. He calls himself a weirdo and means it as a compliment.
What makes him so easy to root for is the consistency. When the singles mixer happened in Episode 6 and spin the bottle came up, Jimmy refused to kiss anyone. His confessional said he and Alison had boundaries neither of them were going to cross and that, to him, it wasn’t just a kiss.
Alison told the cameras after that she was terrified by how much she liked him, that she was a guarded person who never let people in, and that it was just so easy to open up to Jimmy because he continuously showed her she could trust him.
The Moment That Turned the Comment Section
The matching moment at the end of Episode 7 is what sealed it for fans. Jimmy told Alison: “You’re my person. I’m not afraid to wear my heart on my sleeve. You’re home to me. You’re my match.”
Her response: “Obviously.”
It was perfectly Alison. The girl who said she might just f—k around and make him her boyfriend on day three responding to his most vulnerable declaration with one word — and somehow that one word said more than a speech would have. The comment sections filled up with people losing their minds over it in the best possible way.
The Post-Filming Evidence
The social media trail is the strongest of any couple this season — with Jimmy Presnell and Ally Lewber in a close second — and it has only gotten better over time. They have a joint Instagram post of a carousel of BTS photos from their first night in the villa, captioned “Lil BTS of our first night together,” with the last slide being a current photo of Alison outside the villa — holding a basketball, clearly taken well after filming wrapped. Jimmy commented on his own post: “last slide, best slide.” She replied with a winking emoji.
Then Alison posted a reel using the voiceover “I’m just a simple girl with simple taste” with Jimmy’s name on screen. He commented one word in the replies: “Home.” She replied: “sweet home.”
He used that exact word to choose her on national television. He is still using it now, on her Instagram, in public, months after filming wrapped. The cast flooded the comments. Nick Pellecchia liked it. Natalie Cruz called them cutie patooties. Kayla Richart left heart eyes. Chris Dahlan said favsss. Demari replied to Jimmy saying she said she would cook for him, and Demari shot back “1 on 1, 3 dribbles?? Good God.”
Nobody is acting like two people who didn’t make it.
Why It Feels Different
Every other couple in the villa has had a moment where you weren’t sure they were going to survive it. Ally and Jimmy P. had the sliding glass door and the 8.6 and the exit. Demari and Marissa had two hours of arguing about interrupting and a couch scene that ended with Marissa saying she would just leave tomorrow. Dave and Sophie had the mixer and the three-way kiss and Sophie openly wondering if there was enough substance.
Jimmy Sotos and Alison Ogden have not had that moment. Not because the show didn’t try — Katherine came back, the mixer happened, the kissing challenge happened — but because neither of them gave it an opening. He refused to kiss anyone. She told the cameras she felt like the only one who didn’t want to make out with somebody else that day. They keep finding their way back to the same place without drama or doubt or a confessional that makes you nervous.
Fans are rooting for them because they make it look possible. In a season full of people running toward chaos, Jimmy Sotos and Alison Ogden keep running toward each other.
And he keeps calling her home.
The “Perfect Match” Season 4 finale airs May 27 on Netflix.
