"But rest assured that despite all of this traveling, I know where home is: right here, recapping Love Is Blind for all of you. I can't believe we're ten seasons in! Over the past five years, Netflix's marriage franchise has slowly evolved into a viewing experience that I would liken to that of a psychological thriller: I prefer not to watch alone, and I often get legitimately scared by what's on my screen ... but I also can't look away."
"This time, we've got an older-than-usual cast of Ohioans, many of whom would fail a try not to say "mother" challenge, considering how much the topic of children comes up. As always, the pod dates come with trauma-dumping, extremely unflattering lighting, inconsistent pacing, and a bunch of people who only exist in the background. Shout-out to Elissa, who we basically only see when she mistakes nail glue for eye drops and medics have to pull up!"
Season ten features an older-than-usual Ohio cast and fourteen engagements, forming seven couples. Conversations about children dominate many interactions and influence partner compatibility. Pod dates include trauma-dumping, extremely unflattering lighting, and inconsistent pacing, while numerous background cast members receive little screen time. One contestant, Elissa, injures herself by mistaking nail glue for eye drops and requires medics. The franchise's tone increasingly resembles a psychological thriller, provoking fear alongside a compulsion to watch. The previous season produced zero marriages, lowering expectations for long-term success, and viewers struggle to remember and identify the many engaged contestants.
