Warning: this post contains a spoiler.
TLC released its newest reality dating series MILF Manor on Sunday - and the twist shocked viewers.
The show is centred around eight single "confident and strong-minded women" between the ages of 40-60, who are vacationing at a boutique hotel in Mexico.
The first episode showed the women preparing to meet up with their suitors for the very first time, but they were in for a shocking revelation.
In last month's trailer for the show, many people speculated that the surprise was probably the women's sons.

And it turned out that they were correct - the MILFs were gobsmacked to find that the dating pool of men did, in fact, include each other's sons.
Viewers were equally stunned:
\u201cMy husband put on MILF Manor as a joke because he knows I watch trash, and we had no idea the young men are actually the sons of the contestants.\u201d— VASunshine (@VASunshine) 1673856331

Some were curious about the the logistics of arranging such a shocking twist in secrecy:
\u201cOkay, so like, how did they cast Milf Island without the sons and the moms without each other knowing about it?\u201d— Brent Bailey (@Brent Bailey) 1673859527
One viewer was appalled by the first task, which involved a very hands-on experience:
\u201cthe first challenge is for all the men to take their shirts off and the women feel them up blindfolded and try to guess which one is their son. this show is so unserious\u201d— cranberry sprite stan account (@cranberry sprite stan account) 1673838941
Many referenced the 2008 30 Rock episode, which featured a parody reality dating show called MILF Island, and added: "Fun fact MILF Manor is actually a remake."
