Viral Show Season 5 Episode 2: Exclusive Interview with Vahid “Eternal Love”

In the latest episode of the online show Viral Show Season 5, Episode 2, Alara Entertainment hosted one of the most controversial contestants of Eternal Love’s second season: Vahid Aghaei, who’s now known by fans as “Sugar-Free Vahid.” From the very first minutes, this conversation was full of untold stories, humor, and revelations that viewers of Eternal Love’s second season had been waiting for. Here, we take a look at the highlights of this fascinating interview and other viral topics of the week.

From Tehran to Sweden: The Start of Vahid’s Unique Life Story

Vahid was born in 1983 in Tehran and immigrated to Sweden as a teenager. At 17, following family difficulties, he decided to move in with his mother in Sweden a time that wasn’t easy for him. On camera, he talked about being diagnosed with diabetes during those years and how he managed not only to compete in sports but also become a professional coach.

Contrary to the cold, unspirited Swedish society, Vahid always sought excitement, connection, and fame. He says he dreamed of participating in reality shows like Big Brother since he was 15, but his mother never allowed it. Perhaps this thirst for being seen eventually led him toward “Eternal Love.”

From Love in Nowshahr to Heartbreak in Istanbul

Vahid told the story of a past romance a two-year relationship in Nowshahr that unexpectedly revived after many years. Thirteen years later, the same woman dreamed of him and contacted him again. They had a brief meeting in Istanbul, but the relationship ended quickly over phone disagreements. Heartbroken, Vahid decided to stay in Istanbul a city that soon changed his fate.

The Path to “Eternal Love”: From Friends’ Introduction to Burak’s Interview

Vahid revealed that his presence in the second season was completely coincidental and started by a friend introducing him through Zahra, a contestant from the first season, to Burak, one of the show’s Turkish directors. After a short phone interview, he was told, “You’re needed to save this season’s quality.” And so he entered the eventful villa where viewers knew only his shiny facade, but now he spoke about the true behind-the-scenes reality.

Hidden Scripts? Reality or Psychological Manipulation in the Villa

One of the most discussed parts of the interview was Vahid’s comments on the production team’s approach. According to him, there was no pre-written script, but the crew deliberately created tense situations to stir up contestants’ genuine emotions. For example, they would have the girls enter the boys’ rooms at odd hours to film reactions or ignite disputes among couples for the sake of drama.

He said, “We slept less than six hours. Our styles, clothes, and next-day reactions were all planned in advance. The goal was to create psychological tension between the boys and girls.” Contrary to public belief, Vahid said the boys remained more genuine while many girls acted differently in front of the cameras.

Arguments, Sugar Daddy, and Sugar-Free!

During the interview, the host jokingly called Vahid “Sugar-Free Daddy,” referencing rumors about “sugar daddies” among contestants. Vahid laughed and explained that, due to his diabetes, he really is sugar-free and follows a special diet.

The jokes didn’t stop there; later in the show, two viral segments focused on the growing “sugar mommy/daddy” phenomenon in Iran. Two young men even proudly spoke on camera about “finding a sugar daddy” to buy a car—drawing humorous but also worried reactions from the hosts.

Revelations About Real Fights in the Villa

Fans of Eternal Love’s second season will remember the infamous fight between Yashar and Moein. In the interview, Vahid told Alara Entertainment that it stemmed from old resentments, not ethnic issues. He explained that minor disputes sometimes escalated due to the villa’s stressful, closed-off environment—and the crew often, even unconsciously, encouraged quick reactions.

He addressed rumors about Javid and Sepideh’s altercation: “There was no physical fight. Sepideh was just feeling emotionally unwell and suffered an anxiety attack, but so many rumors spread outside that people said an ambulance had to come!”

Real vs. Fake Couples in the Villa

Vahid also shared his views about some of the villa’s famous couples. In his opinion, “Mahyar and Yalda’s” relationship was more tactical to stay in the show than truly genuine. He said many couples staged their relationships after elimination, just to catch the director’s attention and possibly get back on the show. Vahid emphasized that he himself didn’t form a romantic connection in the villa and preferred to be remembered as a genuine and respectful personality.

Serious Critique of Iranian Contestants’ Selection

Vahid argued that it was a mistake to include contestants still living in Iran. He explained, “When you’re expected to act freely during the show, but then you have to return to Iran afterwards, naturally you become more cautious. Contestants from Europe could have behaved more openly without cultural or family concerns.”

Why Did Season Two Decline?

• Restricted access to platforms due to filtering and VPN requirements for Iranian audiences
• Negative controversies from season one undermining viewers’ trust
• Excessive caution among contestants in the new season

Vahid summed it up: “The first season was fresh and Iranians hadn’t seen Turkish-style reality shows before. Now, it feels repetitive.”

Yashar’s Arrest and Post-Show Restrictions

At the end of the interview, Vahid discussed the shocking arrest of several contestants at Tehran airport. Yashar and Fardin, who were supposed to travel to Istanbul, were detained and lost access to their social media. Vahid said: “When a show causes trouble for you, it loses its value. I wish from the start, only expats had been selected.”

From Parastoo Salehi to Sahar Ghoreyshi: The New Season Host

The conversation then shifted to the future of Eternal Love. According to Vahid, the third season will be hosted by Sahar Ghoreyshi, replacing Parastoo Salehi. Vahid considers this a smart decision, arguing that Ghoreyshi’s younger and more sensational persona is a better fit for the show and appeals to a younger audience. He said, “Ms. Salehi is respectable, but a bit too reserved for this kind of show. Sahar Ghoreyshi, meanwhile, is naturally more controversial and energetic.”

Reactions to This Week’s Viral Topics: Raha Etemadi to Matin Sotoudeh

The latter part of the show as always reviewed and analyzed the week’s most viral videos. One hot subject was Raha Etemadi’s controversial comments about Googoosh and her son Kambiz; the hosts clarified that Kambiz’s remarks were second-hand and that he had no direct financial involvement in Googoosh’s projects.

Another video featured Mostafa Zahran Mamadani, a progressive NYC politician dubbed “Khomeini II,” whose promises like free buses were humorously parodied by online users.

The next segment was about the “Housekeeping Olympics,” a unique contest where professional hotel staff race to clean rooms fastest. The hosts joked, “This is the only Olympics Iranians are far too patient for!”

Finally, the spotlight turned to Matin Sotoudeh, an actress whose heavily-guarded public appearance sparked comparisons with Michael Jackson’s crowd scenes. The episode wrapped with a nostalgic look back at Mohammad Khordadian’s iconic 1990s dance video reminding viewers of a VHS and underground tape era.

Summary

Viral Show Season 5 Episode 2 has revealed, more than ever, how Iranian reality shows produced in the freer environment of Turkey struggle with the contradiction between Iranian culture and Western entertainment formulas. From playful sugar jokes to real fights and moral controversies, it’s all part of the new world of entertainment for the Iranian diaspora. Vahid ended the conversation emphasizing: “What I learned from this experience is that I don’t recommend Iranian residents join this game. If you can’t fully express yourself, fame isn’t worth it.”

On one side: true-life stories. On the other: a digital world filled with sugar, celebrities, and viral content a blend that Alara Entertainment boldly and playfully narrates.
