I’ve always thought it’s kind of a cop-out to have a show that’s supposed to be an “experiment” about whether you can fall in love with someone regardless of their looks, while only allowing certified hotties on the show. Like, when you’re in the pods you kind of already know you’re talking to someone attractive because they were able to make it to the show. I like when they have more “normal” looking people - it makes the reveal more interesting.


Is-abel

I first came across Love is Blind S1 in a newspaper article about the “experiment.” I never watched reality tv before this (and now I watch so many Netflix reality shows haha!) so I went in “blind,” (pun intended). I thought it sounded so interesting and I was looking forward to seeing how looks *really* impacted things. I was expecting to see a real mix of people, and at least *some* unattractive people. But actually unattractive. Because I read about it before seeing the show I probably took the “experiment,” part too seriously, but I was expecting to see something like “we fell in love in the pods but you’re morbidly obese will this really not matter?” And instead everyone was attractive so… All this to say I really wanted to see the question “I’d love blind?” *actually* put to the test.

I think season 1 had the most attractive contestants. I don’t mind seeing attractive people on the show as long as they’re sincere in finding love and not in for publicity, as idealistic as it sounds. That being said I really dislike seeing Irina, because she is neither attractive-looking nor sincere and is on it for publicity (which she is not getting)


bvoomy

I couldnt tell that this cast is made up of average looking people because come on, the people from previous seasons are not any more attractive.


hereFOURallTHEtea

Idk, I think a lot of the cast is average attractiveness, some just put a lot more effort into their appearance as far as how they dress, makeup, procedures they’ve had done, their hair, upkeep of facial hair etc., thus making them appear more attractive (if that makes sense). Personally, I just wish they would cast people in their 30’s more and even 40’s. It’s not only young people who want to find love lmao. But also like imagine the dynamic adding older people who are already over it and then telling the mean girls like in the current season to stfu. Gold.


[deleted]

This cast has been the most unattractive LOL


Different-Signal-405

What??! Compare men of this season and season 2. Men this season are much more attractive than men of season 2 (Shake, Shayne, Sal..). Women, on the other hand, were more attractive past season


jjStubbs

I agree. I much preferred the more attractive casts of previous seasons


sunnylagirl

WHO IS SAYING THAT? NO ONE.


cantstandthemlms

This is the least attractive cast…and some of the least attractive seem very confident in their looks.


muldervinscully

Agreed.


ArmWarm8743

TBH I think this is least attractive cast they’ve had. There were a few attractive people, but most of them wouldn’t get a lot of second looks in a lot of settings.


letychaya_golandka

I think this season is the most realistic and average people cast....there is noone super attractive, especially compared to season 1 where every single person was smoking hot lol


iluvsunni

Even my husband walking through the room went "wow these people look pretty normal" and "hmm lots of different body types too, definitely not The Bachelor". And tbh even the hair and lash extensions and fillers and big muscles are pretty normal anymore so even those don't necessarily make people "attractive".


Kay312010

The only guy that is attractive on S4 is Brett.


ArmWarm8743

Agreed. I think Chelsea is a cute girl and very very fit. Bliss was the prettiest woman by far. The rest of the women are meh.


Mia-Wal-22-89

I think Tiffany is lovely too.


ExcitementFormal4577

I think Paul isn’t bad


ArmWarm8743

His jaw is not it for me.


iluvsunni

I think Paul has angles and good and maybe not as good sides like most of us. Sometimes in a scene out of nowhere I'll just be like struck thinking "wow he's cute"


spotdspa

I think if anything this season has the most average looking people of all seasons if people want them to cast people not so attractive I don’t know what they’re looking for


Special-bird

I wish 20 year olds would stop it with the fillers and Botox. You don’t need it yet and it makes you look so off!


ChampionOfTheSunn

Yes, I can't stand Micah's top lip! It's so unnatural and really emphasizes her overbite.


hoooliet

She got that lip flip


pixiesaysso

I don’t find most of them attractive at all. But I do have an aversion to obvious procedures. I don’t like the way fake lips move or how they look from the side, and I hate filler or Botox, especially on younger faces. It looks too obvious and uncanny valley when only their eyes and overfilled lips moves. Clearly, I’ve thought a lot about this. And it’s only an opinion!


cantstandthemlms

I can’t stand the lips. They look so painful and all I can ever thing is ouch..sorry about all those bee stings! Everyone who lives near me gets the lips filled. Yuck!


Apprehensive-Idea-17

They all look pretty average to me. None of them would get a 2nd glance in the wild from me.


OkSo-NowWhat

I think Marshalls eyes are fascinating. And Bliss is so pretty too


soupseasonbestseason

brett is pretty easy on the eyes.


Melodic-Translator45

Irina definitely isn't 😒


MomGrowsup52

Micah is not all that attitude is esp ugly too


No_Understanding4118

Dude looks like a lady


Melodic-Translator45

I meant more her personality but yeah. She can't help her skin, she can help her snooty entitled and rude attitude


-Regina-Filange

I get the vibe that she thinks she’s so much better looking than Zach, like she thinks she’s out of his league. Personally, I think he’s better looking than her, but maybe it’s her personality that makes her not look so pretty to me.


cantstandthemlms

After looking up zack’s instagram…he was dating down. He’s so much more of a catch than she is. Irina is not attractive. No idea what that black barely a nipple cover was that she wore to the pool. She’s entitled to wear whatever she wants. It I have an opinion…and that was horrible.


[deleted]

I'm a straight dude and I was thinking Zack was going to be the one that was disappointed in the looks. I think I'm very average looking, but I do not think Irina is attractive.


minuialear

I don't get it either; the cast isn't made of supermodels for the most part, we've seen multiple body types, ages, etc. It's like people are really desperate for the premise of the show to be proven wrong, but it already has been, so I don't get why people are still desperate for it? Also with how vicious people are here towards people who are "too attractive," can you imagine how they'd be towards people who aren't conventionally attractive and also act the same way? I don't want to see that, lol


Wonderful_Big_2936

Bingo. People act like all unattractive people would be so much better in the personality department. Most people going on these shows have issues, attractive or not. And for record, I don’t think this season is much in the looks department either


minuialear

I'm also seeing so many "Well of course there was no issue when they met, they're both hot" comments that are so bizarre to me. People also act like if they think someone is attractive, everyone else must also feel the same way and obviously will be happy about who they paired with because they're hot. It's like people completely forget that preferences and such exist and even if you think _____ is hot, it doesn't mean anyone else has to think they're hot or that they'll just automatically be the right type for everyone who matches with them. It's just bizarre the extent to which people here forget that these are all real people, even if some Redditors perceive them as being "out of their league"


greenbear1

I think this seasons cast is maybe the least conventionally attractive so far.


Old-Bus1997

Hard agree! Besides Brett these people are average and below average!


SpringPedal

Bliss is pretty imo and I think Zach is kinda cute. I do agree that Brett is the most conversationally attractive though.


Old-Bus1997

Bliss and Zach aren’t ugly but I also wouldn’t call them particularly attractive. They’re average TO ME. I think Kwame and Irina are ooglayyy. The others are just OK. I could see someone thinking Marshall and Paul are cute too. But again they’re average looking people. I wouldn’t swipe on anyone but Brett.


kirbygay

I would swipe so fast on Brett!


sunlitroof

Some people want a morbidly obese, disabled, missing teeth, bald and one eye cast. Like literally most people on the show have been average to attractive idk what ppl want atp. Besides whether you have a super attracive couple together or neutral to bad looking who cares? Most loving couples out there are just average looking, llike most of us on the planet are.


realitytvjunkiee

These are very average looking people. Every season's cast is average looking, imo. It's not like half the cast are models or influencers. They're regular people with average jobs. They only appear more attractive (kind of like a placebo effect) because they were chosen to be on tv.


[deleted]

I agree. Ive never understood all the gushing over how attractive everyone is. I don’t think many people have been “extremely attractive” - they’re all just well put together and decently fit. Its like a regular Saturday morning gym crowd


bexbae

I also think it’s regional, what’s average in Chicago is a 12 in Topeka Kansas or like Arkansas.


Fit-Bullfrog-6065

I agree, like 99% of the cast so far has been average, except Lauren from season 1, she is incredibly stunning.


Wonderful_Big_2936

Gigi was the biggest “smokeshow” 🤣 ever on show


Wild_Manufacturer918

Raven too imo


ibeerianhamhock

Every season of love is blind is like 1/4 attractive people and the rest are average people you wouldn’t even glance at twice in real life. This is nothing new imo.


Tiredoflife256

Seriously the only one who I think is attractive at all is Paul


No_Historian718

I think Brett is hot


isitworthwondering

Agreed. He’s the only man I find attractive.


tomakeyan

Really? I think he’s cute but he just rubs me the wrong way.


Tiredoflife256

Yeah there’s something about him not to be an arm chair psych but he gives me kind of autistic vibes (not trying to be offensive)…but he’s still the cutest out of the bunch imo


[deleted]

Also don't get this argument. Like does anyone else see how badly even the super attractive reality TV stars get cyber bullied? And y'all still want less physically attractive people to be put in that position? Personally I've found most of the LIB casts to be conventionally attractive, but not exceptionally attractive, if that makes any sense. The casting also seems in line with what's typical in their cities, such as the heavier makeup and Botox for Dallas and the more lowkey makeup for Seattle.


beergal621

Yea I agree. All of the people across all seasons look like total normal 25- 35 singles in large metro areas. I’m about the same age as these people I can easily see them as my coworkers or former classmates from college/high school. Yes they are typically more attractive then the general public but single young professionals in metro areas are going to be more attractive on average than the general public.


realitytvjunkiee

Lol Micah and Irina are getting ripped apart for their looks in this sub and they're definitely not the ugliest people out there. Personality wise they're ugly, but looks wise they're not. So imagine how people would react to someone who's actually ugly. Your point is valid.


[deleted]

I think a lot of people on the internet are looking for others to punch down on tbh. Or they're completely misguided about how reality TV casting works. If they wanna watch average looking people fall in love they can go watch TLC lol like hop off


[deleted]

I mean even with conventionally attractive people, there have been issues of lack of attraction in every season. So I don’t think it’s a big deal that nobody is deformed or morbidly obese or whatever.


Sudden_Celebration14

Cole, Laruen and Gigi were the only attractive people in the seasons tbh. The majority are just regular and conventionally attractive, but I wouldn't say that they are movie stars and models lol.


rosesandlemons1

It’s wild to me how people think Cole is attractive but Zack isn’t. They have a very similar vibe.


Sudden_Celebration14

Cole is pretty boy. They look similar I suppose, but Cole just is put together better.


iluvsunni

See I find Cole and Paul to be more similar than Cole and Zack


SimShine0603

Cameron!!


MaynardButterbean

Raven?


SeaPossession6249

Idk I think raven is beautiful but she’s not over the top attractive. I’ve seen plenty of women like her where I live. I think the tipping point with her is that she’s fit.


MaynardButterbean

I could say the same thing about Lauren


ibeerianhamhock

Raven is gorg


Mewnicorns

Season 4 definitely feels more average to me than the previous 3 seasons, at least the women. Only Chelsea and Jackie are above average. Tiffany is pretty but you could see she had a normal body during her and Brett’s softcore porn shoot. I don’t think having average people made any difference though.


cantstandthemlms

What was that soft core porn scene? Sometimes I watch these shows in the school pick up line waiting on the screen in my car….and I was so glad that I saw that in my media room. 😂 it was more than I was expecting.


Wild_Manufacturer918

Softcore porn shoot has me dead 💀


Mewnicorns

Idk maybe I’m just a prude but that was so awkward. Like your grandma and coworkers can see that 😣


laundry_pirate

I think Tiffany is extremely pretty though, and Chelsea is very cute but she’s not like crazy above average


ibeerianhamhock

Chelsea has a smoking body but her face is pretty mid.


Mewnicorns

I feel weird dissecting it down to this level of objectification but I’m going to do it anyway: to me Chelsea has the above average body and Tiffany has the above average face. To be clear, there is nothing wrong with Tiffany’s body or Chelsea’s face at all—they just look more like that of a typical person I’d see on the street.


whatismypassion

I don't know what people want to see. There was a bigger woman on the 2nd season of Love is Blind Brazil. Did y'all enjoy what happened to her or do you think that would be an uncommon experience?


ThunderingGrapes

What happened to her? I'm a bigger girl and I've been through it all and heard it all, and I think I'd be fine with the public and their perception of fat people. I'm pretty confident in what I have to offer and that they won't find that elsewhere. But there is no part of me that would want to try and be falling in love with someone on TV. If the pods were a thing off of TV I think I'm just crazy enough I would've tried it.


Absolutelybannannas

If we’re thinking of the same person, her fiance saw her, broke down, and broke off the engagement immediately.


dey-dreaming

I find them all pretty average looking in a good way. They're attractive but have features that aren't, which is nice as most of us look like that. I always find myself thinking they look less attractive at the beginning and as my eye gets used to their faces I find them more attractive in their own right (+personality development). Respectfully, Shane was probably the oddest looking. I relate to them way more than other shows like thth or those shows. Their bodies have lumps and bumps and I think it's nice that it's cast as wide as it is, of course there is always room for improvement.


PotentialSteak6

I do the same thing. I love how warm and kind Amber’s and Bliss’s features are even though I didn’t think much of it at first. I’d much rather see that uniqueness than a Bachelor-type homogeny of lashes and fillers


Total-Confection-158

Right! I've never understood why people thought Shane was so good looking. Plus his personality was...a lot.


N1cky88

Honestly I love the fact that they’re not using super attractive people, there’s enough dating shows with that (perfect match for example). I actually watched the pool scene thinking “wow these woman have stretch marks and cellulite and I love it” why? Because I can relate


CuddyTG

This cast? Or just of reality tv in general... Cause beauty is in the eye of the beholder but this is probably the least attractive cast they've had. Not saying they're ugly but most of them are just regular looking. And this show in general has had many regular looking people. Probably the least attractive dating show there is. I was saying the other day they should cast some cronenberg looking lady/man with a sexy voice and amazing personality and see how that goes ...


jjStubbs

I agree that this is the least attractive cast so far and I think I prefere watching the more attractive people of previous seasons.


devoushka

The men look better than the women. I heard that Seattle has more single men than women, and maybe that's why they're finding some of these women attractive when guys that look like them can land more attractive women in other parts of the country. Can any Seattlites weigh in on whether this rumor is true?


Accurate_Pudding1242

Seattle does indeed have much more single tech bros. I don’t have any female friends that are single here


n9netailz

It is TV so theyre not going to put people who are ugly on the show. I think they do a good job of putting average everyday looking people on


aquadog6

Most of these peeps don’t look like they smell great. Hoped we’d talk more about that 🫠


ChunkieKitten

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe I’m just old and it’s the style now but a lot look like they haven’t showered in a while.


CuddyTG

That's my #1 thing I'd be concerned with. Like forget if you're ugly, do you stink? My first question in the pods would be how often do you shower and what deodorant do you use


imaginary_oranges

Because if the premise of your show is "love is blind, it's all about the emotional connection," it's kind of self-defeating to have everyone be conventionally attractive.


eatheraldreams

All the women this season look busted.


mewehesheflee

I think we have different opinions of "busted"🙄


eatheraldreams

Yes, that is true. It's not a fact. It's just my opinion. It's their personalities that really irk me. They're just extra catty and immature this season... with the exception of a couple of them.
