The Driftwood #44: Bingeable TV (April Fools’ Edition)

Love is Blind
Love is Blind posterLooking to take the next step in your life to find your one true soulmate? Are you ready to settle down and be in a committed, loving, trustworthy relationship with the spouse of your dreams? Take notes from the many single adults who are featured in Love is Blind, as their
methods to navigate the dating world are always successful.

Married couple Vanessa and Nick Lachey are co-hosts of the trending reality television series Love is Blind. This unusual dating show focuses on couples finding their other half, and only 28 days following the engagement, they must decide whether to marry their partner. The most appealing aspect of this show is that the wishful singles talk through “pods,” which are exactly what they sound like, small rooms. The pods are connected so that each prospective couple can hear each other, but they cannot see each other. This process is unique because the couples can only make their judgments on what they verbally share. The main point of this technique is for these participants to get to know each other based on their personalities and who they are on the inside instead of choosing a partner based on physical attraction.

There’s nothing like heightened emotion when dating 15 people at once, making multiple connections with other singles, and feeling the intensity of returning to a lounge with fellow men and women who are also dating the people you’re interested in. As the show progresses, rumors are spread within the lounges that separate the singles by their gender, with updates on their connections. The real drama ensues when a man or woman discovers that their strongest match is shared with someone else from their lounge; it becomes a silent fight to win over that individual.

Watch this enticing reality series to find out which couple makes it to the wedding day and to see the complicated dynamics as you can witness which person is honest with their partner or repeating the same thing to each connection they make. It is a true test of endurance for the sake of love, happiness, and marriage to your one and only. You would think that these individuals would maintain any bit of integrity during this show, but luckily, that is not as valued as making connections as quickly as possible. The latest season was released this month including the juicy reunion that will not disappoint!
