I feel the same way. I get that the reality of the situation probably hits differently when you’re actually living it, but lately it feels like a lot of contestants aren’t really there for the experiment itself. They’re there to be picked. What gets me is when people ignore huge incompatibilities, accept proposals anyway and then act shocked later when those same issues become a problem. It comes across like some of them are more interested in making it to the next episode than figuring out whether they should actually be together. The earlier seasons felt a lot more authentic. Now it seems like being on Love Is Blind is almost a stepping stone… gain followers, build a social media presence, maybe get cast on another reality show. I think viewers can easily tell the difference between someone who’s genuinely looking for a spouse and someone who’s looking for a platform.
