Love may or may not be blind, but six seasons in, Love is Blind contestants should be able to see the writing on the pod wall; this show is a mixed bag of questionable motivation and irresistible mess, served up in a gold goblet.
15 men and 15 women falling in love sight unseen and then committing to marriage in the span of 3 weeks — what could go wrong? A lot if you’re the network, production, or casting company.
There are three active lawsuits against Netflix and their partner production companies ranging from “inhumane working conditions,” to “sexual assault” and “false imprisonment.”
Is this just a case of bruised egos who didn’t get enough screen time, or part of the larger reality reckoning happening in unscripted television?
Listen as Rebekah walks us through some of the more memorable Love is Blind moments, and the accusations against the show and its producers, and then you decide if love — and justice — are blind.
Here’s what the hosts are watching as of today’s episode:
Melissa: Apple Never Fall,, Peacock
Rebekah: Expats, Prime
