Conventional wisdom says that love takes time, is built on long-term trust, and needs to be based on shared values and virtues.
But sometimes, when you know, you know.
And when I finished the first episode of Love Is Blind, I just knew…this goofy show and I were meant to be!
If you haven’t checked it out yet, Love is Blind is the hit Netflix reality show that took my social media feed (and my entire day off) by storm. The process of the reality show happens in roughly three stages:
Stage One: Many men and women spend up to 10 days living in an “experiment,” in which they meet each other, go on “dates,” and hopefully form a connection that’s strong enough that they will end up engaged! The only catch? They meet each other in secluded rooms (called “the pods”), separated by a thin wall…and though they can talk and talk and talk, they do not see one another until they decide to get engaged.
Stage Two: Engaged couples go on a honeymoon of sorts to a Cancun resort. ALL the couples are at the same resort, though…so when they meet one another there’s still potential for dramaaaa.
Stage Three: The engaged couples then move in together in a simple one-bedroom apartment. Can their love survive now that they’re back in the real world??
In the final episode, we get a series of straight-up weddings in which we find out if both partners are ready to go through with marrying someone they got engaged to before they saw one another.
Oh, and did I mention that this entire process happens in less than 40 days?!?!
I’m not alone in my adoration for Love Is Blind–in its second week it topped Netflix’s charts and became its number one streamed show!
So, what are the things that make this “experiment” the surprise reality hit of 2020?
