Love is blind — or is it?
Netflix had an absolute smash hit on its hands from the moment Love Is Blind Season 1 premiered.
From its impeccable set design, down-to-earth hosts, and a relatable cast with a flair for drama, the show has it all.
At least, that's what it seems.
While its massive fan base is undeniable, it's hard to overlook the fact that a glaringly large portion of the population is unrepresented on Love Is Blind.
The concept of this reality dating series is that looks shouldn't matter when finding a partner to spend your life with. At least, that's what they tell us.
But as much as they tout that premise, they still happily and exclusively cast conventionally attractive, thin, and mostly white participants.
The producers also haven't explored opening up the series to include the LGBTQ+ community, a move that other similar shows have found successful.

Megan Fox is finally addressing the Love Is Blind controversy involving Season 6 cast member Chelsea Blackwell. After Blackwell told then-boyfriend Jimmy Presnell that Fox was her celebrity doppelgänger, Blackwell received a barrage of hate from online critics about the comparison. Fox is now stepping up and defending Blackwell. “I didn’t watch it, but I think in general, no one deserves to get bullied,” Fox told E! News. “I don’t think she deserved that. I think people went way too hard. I did see a picture of her. A hundred thousand percent, people have told her, ‘You kind of look like Megan Fox.'” She added, “I believe she’s telling the truth and I hope like she still has that sparkle in her eye. I hope the world didn’t steal it from her. Mine died long ago from being bullied for 20 years. So I hope that didn’t happen to her.

Megan Fox finally weighed in on the “Love Is Blind” controversy that erupted earlier this year when Season 6 cast member Chelsea Blackwell told her eventual fiancé Jimmy Presnell that Fox was her celebrity doppelgänger. Presnell ended up telling Blackwell that wasn’t true, while “Love Is Blind” viewers bombarded social media platforms to roast and mock Blackwell for a comparison many thought wasn’t accurate.
“I’ve never had more people text me about something,” Fox told E! News’ “The Rundown.” “I don’t really watch TV very much. But I’ve had a lot of people text me and stop me. Even other celebrities at like Oscar parties were like, ‘Do you watch “Love is Blind”?’ And I was like, ‘No, but I know what you’re talking about.'”
Blackwell said after the show aired that she tried to reach out to Fox and apologize to her, but...

Love Is Blind Season 6 was a return to form for the Netflix franchise, but it was still defined more by couples who didn't work than those who did. From the second he questioned her claim that she looks like Megan Fox, it was clear that the season's messiest duo, Chelsea Blackwell and Jimmy Presnell, were destined for disaster. Meanwhile, Laura Dadisman and Jeramey Lutinski, who's been at the center of off-camera drama, never managed to get on the same page whatsoever, whether about his Hawaiian shirts or his interest in Sarah Ann Bick, his other pod connection.
