I have not watched the latest season of “Love is Blind” and I refuse to. 

I watched the first season some time last year or the year before and it was the cringiest thing I had ever seen. I get it, we love the drama, we love the tension, we love the romance. And it would be great if it were fiction. 

But knowing these are real people that we are watching, real people who are hurting, who are crying, being rejected, getting in petty rivalries, and so on and so forth makes me just shake my head and go ‘nope!’ 

It is not worth it. 

To be quite honest, I question the sanity of anyone willing to participate in these shows.

I am all for people who wish to discuss their real lives in an open forum, I am. But those are what blogs and vlogs and Instagram are for. TV shows are not the place for it. And okay, even if they are, how can we trust any of it? These people know they are being watched and listened to. Who knows how much of it is honest? And if all the pettiness is just stages for ratings… that would be pathetic. 

Personally, I will never watch another episode of this show or anything like it. I have enough trauma from the last time.
