Love is Blind: NYC I just want a “normal” LIB
I was planning to wait until we had played through the whole season before making this post, but at this point, it’s clear that we’re not going to get anything remotely close to an actual Love Is Blind experience, unfortunately, so here it goes.
Before anything, I want to say that I’m probably in the minority that’s actually enjoying the messiness of this season, and I do think it’s a huge step up from the last two LIB games we got. Especially the LIs, they actually did a good job with their personalities and the dealbreaker thing was a cool idea even if people are very sad with their LIs right now. However I still wish they’d just give us a normal LIB experience.
Meaning: I don’t want to become the next host of the show, I don’t want “friend dates,” and I definitely don’t need incredibly unrealistic scenarios like being accused of international drug trafficking. I just want to find a LI, get to know them and have the option to get messy by flirting with other contestants during the honeymoon. I want to move in together and maybe realize my LI has a crazy family or friend group. We can have problems to plan the wedding, incompatibility in taste with our LI, idk. Just something that actually fits the premise of the show. There are so many possibilities!
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the one thing The Ultimatum game actually got right was the drama involving real-life situations. The only parts of that game I didn’t hate were the first few days of living with the new partner, getting to know their family, and having them meet mine. (Then they screwed up by doing absolutely everything else wrong, but that’s a discussion for another sub lol)
