“Oh my gosh. Hope, you have GOT to watch ‘Love is Blind.’ It’s a new series on Netflix. You’d love it.” 

“What’s it about?”

“Basically, it follows couples who chose each other based on conversation alone. The drama starts after they choose their matches and move into a house.”

If you people think that I’m going to try to watch a show just because it promises surprise drama… you know me too well.

I’ve been warned that it’s not the production level of Bravo, but I’m willing to give it a try. I do have some comments and concerns before binge watching it, though.

1. My relationship ratings scale still stands.

The couples are paired based on their conversations together, right? Cute concept, but that goes against my relationship ratings scale. LOL.

Sure, you can find a bestie based on conversation, but looks do play a part for romantic relationships. So, do any of the couples finally see each other and get a sinking feeling from not meeting physical expectations?

Is Mike shorter than his deep voice lets off? Does Rachel have a little more fluff than she said?

That’s how you get Hope sucked into the drama of reality television. If everyone is compatible, the show has already failed me (and the nation).

 

2. I need to see jealousy and disappointment.

Since the participants pick their first and second choice, please tell me there’s drama surrounding someone who had a top pick who ran into the arms of another man/woman.

If there isn’t that jealousy lurking around the house, you lost out again. And at this point, I don’t think I’d be interested in watching any further.

 

3. Please don’t let this be “The Bachelor” with a twist.

It may be shocking to hear this, but I don’t do “The Bachelor” or “The Bachelorette.” I’ve never watched a full episode, and I don’t intend on doing so.

So, if this is like any of those shows, count me out! I barely have time to watch television as it is, so I can’t waste my time on horrible picks.

 

4. What’s the end goal?

Is this just a show or a contest to see which couple survives? Is there prize money? If so, how is the winner chosen?

These couples are supposed to get engaged in a short period, right? What happens if they agree on an engagement but then later break it off?

Do any of the couples actually make it down the aisle? WHAT AM I WATCHING HERE? LOL!

I know that most of these questions will be answered once I press play, but someone PLEASE stop me if I’m making a mistake.

I’ve had people online and in real life ask me about this show, so they can’t all be wrong, right? RIGHT?

*Sigh* Unless told otherwise, I will be one of the millions across the world watching it. And my feedback about the season will be this week’s podcast. Ready. Set. Binge.
