You inspired me to check and apparently it's actually a real thing (Wikipedia link) with 2 seasons too.

*clicks link *

Edit:

From the wikipedia:

The show currently has a 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes,[41] where critics describe it as "psychological torture" and "Freudian Horror".

Eight pairs of mothers and sons travel to a villa in Mexico to look for love. Upon arrival, the contestants are told that the sixteen contestants were to romantically pursue each other. The announcement is a surprise to the contestants; one contestant, April, stated that she thought her son would be on a separate retreat instead of in her dating pool

Checks out 🤮

Holy shit. I'd actually heard of this before and thought it was one of those fake reality shows you see on TV shows like 30 Rock 😄

But that basically was a fake show on 30 Rock: “MILF Island” showed up in season 2 episode 11.
