There's 1 Thing About This 'Love Is Blind' Season That Is A Little Off

This week on “I Know That’s Right,” I chatted with Senior Culture Editor Erin E. Evans about the new season of “Love Is Blind.”

Also a few HuffPost editors and reporters began our live-blog chats on the first six episodes.

You can see a snippet of our conversation here — and listen to the full podcast below.

This experiment wasn’t for Jimmy. He’s so focused on looks that he can’t even see Chelsea for who she is. And Chelsea knows that he’s not attracted to her but is in denial about it and keeps looking for validation from Jimmy. And Jimmy keeps lying to her (and himself) about how much he’s into her. That’s how we keep getting these weird-ass responses from him, like him saying he noticed her teeth (not smile!) first, but really it was how big her boobs were.

Jimmy had an idea of what he thought Chelsea looked like, and that was a big reason he chose her — on top of her not challenging him like Jessica did. It’s just like if physical attraction is that important to you, then this isn’t the show for you. — Taryn

It’s blowing my mind how this entire season is so focused on looks compared to past seasons, which obviously defeats the entire purpose of the show. Jimmy is focused solely on how Chelsea looks compared with Jessica. Clay is focused on how AD looks. I don’t think Kenneth is into Brittany, and it seems like it has to do with attraction. This entire cast is proving that love is definitely not blind. I will say I find Jimmy particularly egregious, and this entire thing is really embarrassing for Chelsea because she is really trying to convince herself (and us) that he is attracted to her when nearly everything he says, along with his actions, make it pretty obvious he doesn’t think she is hot enough for him.
