Stanko's Stance

So I ventured into Love Is Blind. Not sure I wanted to, but took the plunge based off the recommendations of people that I trust. I’ve decided that while embarking on this quest of wonderful cringe, hate-watching, I will be documenting thoughts in a true stream of consciousness fashion. The bullet points below are all the thoughts I had during the episode, just in written form.

Love Is Blind: Episode 1

• Who is Vanessa Lachey?
• I am confused when they say “is love truly blind?” “We hope so.”
  • Like physical attraction is a thing that matters
• The opening of the show with the music and vista is taken from a landmark movie
• This dude (later found out he is Carlton) who wanted to be Hugh Heffner SUCKS. I repeat he sucks
• Why are they are dressed up so nice if they can’t see them? I’d be in sweatpants and a tee-shirt.
• The 34-year-old who is the fitness obsessed reminds me of the girl from the bachelor who cries a lot
  • ANNALISE!!! That’s the girl I was thinking of. Tears for days.
• So many slow motion walks in the hallways…
  • They are using slow motion walks from day one of the experiment on days two and three. I don’t like this lack on continuity
• Cameron looks exactly like a scientist, are you kidding me?
• PHYSICAL APPEARANCE MATTERS PEOPLE, IT IS A PART OF A RELATIONSHIP
• I wonder how many bets were taking place along the producers and editors while the show was going on?
• I’d be so bad about this show; that’s the honest answer.
• AFTER TALKING FOR THREE HOURS YOU HAVE CONVICTION THAT THESE ARE PEOPLE YOU’D SPEND REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH?
• A lot of these guys and girls have a veryyyyyy high sense of self importance
  • This comes a bit of a surprise coming from a show that doesn’t put looks as the primary focus
  • Lots of super self confidence
• Is it weird they call these talking-without-seeing meetup dates? I don’t know if I’d call them dates.
• Asking about kids on a second date?
• Barnett confidence is just absurd. No way I have that confidence (or is it arrogance) to make the comments that she did.
• I appreciate the people who walk around and talk with pacing. I would not be able to sit still for that long.
• They are incredibly repetitive with the over the head pod shots transitioning through the various interviews.
• OKAY that deep sigh by Jessica (I think) after talking to Barnett is so bad. That’s a bad sign.
• SAYING I LOVE YOU AFTER FOUR DAYS???? CAMERON??? Who is this girl? WTF. THIS IS INSANE.
  • “Are you being rash?” | NO YOU ARE NOT
  • Lauren is the girl’s name; this is so stupid
    • Her last name is speed so that is actually awesome. Good last name.
  • So this dude (Carlyon) used to date guys and girls). You should probably tell her that
  • It is annoying how all the ATI they are all in the same clothes I think. Lots of post editing
  • IS. INSANE. Mark (I think is his name) asking about the future with Jessica and marriage
  • Can they watch movies of tv in those hang out rooms? Like what do the guys and girls talk about? I am confused. There is like no other real-life conversations expect about the talking or dates?
  • My mom would KILL ME if I did this show and proposed after 5 days. I would be a DEAD MAN
  • The soundtrack in this show is so crazy; it’s like sad soapy ending to a sitcom where the main character is walking slow motion out of a bar after seeing his/her crush talking with their mortal enemy
  • I can watch one episode at a time to keep my sanity
  • How would families agree to be at this wedding?
    • Wonder if they change up shooting for each of the weddings instead of keeping them all the same?
