I wish Netflix had thrown out this whole season and instead followed the cycling instructor lesbian couple: Love is Riding Bikes that Go Nowhere.

I hope I do not get weird and infantilizing about my 30-something old children getting engaged, even if it is via reality tv.

Wild that the presence of someone blind didn’t make anyone question the name of the show.

Highlights from this batch include the person from the sock hamper family coupled with a person with OCD. The producers seem to have been trying to start stuff, if you believe that they nudge certain people together.

There’s more than one nurse. People are partnering people with the same name as one of their parents, etc.

The show continues to be an active example of the value of diversity. I cannot tell these people apart.

We continue to be in news-filled unprecedented times, but I’ve managed to watch the new episodes of Love is Blind from this week. #loveisblind #LIB

“The left overplayed its hand” my dude Republicans have handed the country over to a deranged racist billionaire and you spent the last decade calling Swarthmore freshman the nation’s foremost authoritarian threat. Forgive me if I’m not inclined to take your advice on self-reflection right now

In fact, the reporter - again, this is true - said they'd have to independently verify that Jim Crow happened because it sounded like I was pushing a specific agenda.

I’m totally clueless. Is that an actual name of a strain?!

Yup. This is the whitest season I can recall, and is legitimately an argument for the value of diversity.

This season is blah. Am I still watching? Naturally, but I’m not enjoying myself.

No one is restricted from attending HBCUs (or other Minority Serving Institutions, MSIs), and in fact, they have done a better job of educating white students than PWIs have Black.

If the in-person meeting is any indicator, I’d only imagine 1 or 2 couples getting married.

The music budget must be higher this season—I’ve heard Billie Eilish and Miley Cyrus. I’m not up on current pop, but in last seasons, a lot of the music has sounded like super on-the-nose stuff written for the show.

“if everyone would shut up about their own struggles and pretend that the blue collar white man is the universal subject, we could win” always reliably leads to an alliance with outright bigots and charlatans.

Yup. That’s I how I read this moment, too.

I do appreciate the person who was clear that she wouldn’t be with any man who wasn’t comfortable with LGBTQIA folks, insisting on more than a base level tolerance. And the other woman who called out the “I stay out of politics” dude.

This might be the first season where someone has disclosed neurodivergence.

And yes, this season is notably white, compared to past seasons, in terms of the people who are the focus of the show.

The really, really woo-woo white lady. The white dude who says gross things and then says, “Just kidding!” The white guy who said he doesn’t read. The white woman who is super conceited.

Why you insist on acting like you freed the red states is beyond me, but here we are.

I’ve wanted to visit PIE ever since I read the Anne of Green Gables books as a child.
