Love certainly is blind
Photo: AARÓN ORTEGA/NETFLIX Netflix’s Love Is Blind, currently dropping its second season, might be the only reality dating competition formatted to actually create real relationships — or, dare we say, help people find “the one.” Yeah, I know. Hear me out, though.
Reality dating shows usually depend on gimmicks because they deliver great footage. MTV’s Are You the One? claims expert matchmakers find the “perfect match” for contestants who “suck at dating” — they’re serial cheaters, can’t commit, etc. — and then it is up to the contestants to figure out who that perfect match is. But who these matchmakers are and how they determine the contestants’ compatibility is never revealed.
And the thing is, the blind-dating format is a legitimate way to build a connection or to learn quickly that there isn’t one. The hours Love Is Blind contestants spend talking seem to truly accelerate getting to know each other on a deeper level. Every engaged couple on season two has remarked how long they feel like they’ve known each other, even though it’s been a matter of days or weeks.
But the villain strategy simply doesn’t work on Love Is Blind. Since screen time is not guaranteed and moving forward on the show hinges on a proposal being made and accepted, it does not behoove a thirsty contestant to make waves for the sake of drama.
