“Gurki exhales and presses a hand to her heart, as if to make sure it’s still there.” - The New York Times

“But, it’s a woman named Gurki, a jewelry buyer from Barneys, whose episode is sure to be the most talked about… it reveals so much about the toxic masculinity women encounter and the bigoted aggressions minorities face on the dating scene.” - W Magazine

“Her vulnerability has endeared viewers to Basra…” - Vanity Fair

“Unlike the women of previous dating shows, who would be seen as ‘rejected,’ ‘sad,’ or ’unwanted’ by remaining alone when there is the option of being in a partnership, Gurki’s choice not to go on a second date with any of the men is a striking statement of personal choice and autonomy.” - Playboy
