We are sold a fantasy when watching Netflix's "Love Is Blind." We are told and shown that two people can solely build an emotional connection sight unseen and it will lead to love, a future engagement, and a happily ever after. But if there's one thing this fifth season's newest episodes have depicted to its audience, is that the show's once-interesting formula has turned into a gimmick that leaves even its biggest fans questioning why they even continue to invest their time.
One could say that this season's cast is no different from the other seasons' levels of messiness. In the fourth season, a contestant Zack reneged on his proposal to Irina during what was supposed to be their honeymoon because he was in love with another contestant, Bliss. The two were obviously not in love with each other because, during their first in-person meeting, Irina harshly said that her fiancé Zack looked like a cartoon character and continued to pick apart his physical appearance — defeating the purpose of the show's "Love Is Blind" premise. Horrible, I know.
