Netflix's Love is Blind Needs Corrective Action Before a New Season Premieres

Christal Jordan — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 15:00:18 GMT

The pods may need to close permanently on Netflix's controversial dating series, Love Is Blind if production doesn't make changes immediately. The social experiment based on testing singles' ability to fall in love solely on the tonality of a person's voice and their conversation is a long shot in today's culture, which is based heavily on physical appearance and the perception of perfection. Although most viewers would agree that they wouldn't be up for the challenge, it's entertaining to tune in and watch the train wreck of singles talking to each other through a wall and then being visually disappointed when they are introduced to their voice crush in person.

In the early aughts of reality television, a show premiered on Bravo that may have very well changed the network forever. Being Bobby Brown premiered in 2005 and only lasted for one season. The show kept things all too real for its viewers, and one thing that Bobby was not shy about was his legal troubles. Bobby Brown was dealing with multiple court cases when the series began filming. The very first episode was filmed the day he was released from a brief prison stint and followed him as he waited for his wife, Whitney Houston, to pick him up. He reflects on his legal issues, and eventually, some footage of the trial is shown. It’s there where a familiar face pops up alongside Bobby in his legal team: future RHOA favorite, Phaedra Parks. Phaedra, before her days as a Bravo staple, was Bobby's lawyer, and was present for many of his cases at that time.
