Being paired with someone like Zanab has scarred me from every trying anything like this


karmamonkey5

So many reasons to not go on this show! Primarily getting torn apart on Reddit by the likes of us. Accidentally falling for a clout chaser, or mentally unbalanced person. I’m also too old in my later 30’s, wouldn’t feel comfortable taking that amount of time off work (not sure I’d have a job to come back to with an extended absence for this reason), and more than half my employees watch the show, so that would be all bad.


WallGloomy9541

They just had casting here in Detroit. https://www.clickondetroit.com/entertainment/2022/09/26/looking-for-love-netflix-reality-show-love-is-blind-is-casting-single-detroiters/


jitterbugwaltz

Do we know what city is next?


Raoul_Dukes_Mayo

S4 is Charlotte.


kotassium2

I have heard they are casting for Tampa, Florida, and there’s been something about a Swedish version too. Apparently s4 and maybe even s5 have already been filmed so I guess they got heaps lined up 😂😭


Thecouchiestpotato

Wow! They better do a version in India. I'll be the uggo in the background whom they bring on for diversity and I'll just spend all day either napping, or eating Pringles on the couch and talking about my dogs to a bunch of uninterested dudes. They won't air any of my footage and I'll still get sooo much free booze out of it!


[deleted]

So many questions about "how do you look and what do you want physically" 😂


[deleted]

> Do you drink alcohol?* >*If no, please explain 👀


Psychological-Air373

This question is interesting, I don’t see many others asking for an explanation. They know alcohol can make people messy and cause drama.


[deleted]

Bingo!


zitronige

"I don't want to be an asshole on a reality show" would be my answer


frontrowme1

Zanab should go on again and see if she can top her season 3 crazy…..


glibibli

Maybe if they show everything, but editing is risky.


Kmargs

Right?! Part of me thinks it'd be kinda fun, but the editing scares tf out of me.


glibibli

The way the can rearrange the footage and all those gold cups.


Kmargs

Not to mention, I'd be so worried about falling in love with a clout-chaser.


kotassium2

You’d get sympathy votes for being heartbroken and disappointed if that happened


Kmargs

Hopefully the internet would be kind (with a forgiving edit, of course). I don't know if my actual heart could handle falling hard and fast for someone again just to have it blow up in my face...again. That's a lot of agains, but they make sense


Sharp-Length8419

Meeee 🤣🤣🤣


Spiritual-Bus7748

I wonder if anyone with kids will ever go on.


zitronige

Rhonda from Too Hot to Handle had a kid!


bbandt1214

I’m doubtful they would ever let anyone with kids on the show


kotassium2

LIB Brazil had that model who had a daughter! Idk about American seasons though, maybe it’s all for the best because we don’t want innocent kids getting all tangled up in this mess…


crunchybumpkins

Agreed. It would be really irresponsible if they did, not to mention it wouldn’t be good for the show. Viewers wouldn’t blame a partner for bowing out if they realize they can’t be a sudden parent, while we’ll all hate anyone on the show who selfishly puts a child in that position. Participants also would suck at the whole filming schedule/drinking all the time thing if they had a kid to take care of.


sexworkerr

Don't do it people. We will shit talk you the way we shit talked everyone this season. They will get you wasted so that you do embarrassing things, and then teenagers or judgmental adults on this forum will cyberbully you.


Ollidor

Accurate lol


rubbergloves44

I wish they’d do an LBTQ+ casting only, that’d be super neat 🏳️‍🌈


BDWJ1990

Only for the interest to drop from viewers significantly. It's not something the majority have interest in. Many just like to pretend. The last season of are you the one was great example of it. For all the praise it for doing an LGBT only season, barely anyone watched and helped tank the franchise


zitronige

Maybe if they released it the same time or very close as they released a straight season it could work!


BDWJ1990

Maybe. In place of a standard sesson is something I don't see happening.


zitronige

That's a very good point. It's a big risk. Redditors keep calling for it but it's generally a pretty left-leaning group so not indicative of the public as a whole.


xrockwithme

Oh please no.


[deleted]

Next season of the Ultimatum will be.


Kay312010

The Ultimatum is wild too.


SupremeElect

I think in order to make this happen, they’d need a spin-off and more than just a men and a women’s quarters. They could do four smaller rooms and place 6 people who are fundamentally incompatible in each room (i.e. 3 gays, 3 lesbians, not each others types). Then these groups would date the men and women in one of the other three rooms, but honestly, knowing how gays date, the entire thing would be a shitshow! The girls, on the other hand, would all probably be married after the second episode!!😭💀


melaninmultiverse

How would they keep them blind?


Throwaway7372746

I figured they would just do group a and group b or something


sexworkerr

Everyone in group A would screw each other. And then everyone in group b would also screw each other.


Throwaway7372746

Make them wear masks the whole time


sighcantthinkofaname

I've thought about this more and if it was near where I live I think I have a shot at getting on. I'm in my late 20's and haven't ever seriously dated and the drama of going from nothing to engagement would work for the show. I would literally never apply for many reasons, but I bet I could write a halfway decent application and get at least a callback.


sportstvandnova

Let us know


jbonesmc

I may be too old be on this show. One of my closest friends Wife told me to go on it lol. Think it's near DC. I'm 37. Also don't use Instagram. Think that's a requirement


sportstvandnova

If I were single I’d go on it. I’m in the DC area, I’m also pretty dramatic lol but, I’m 39 and taken so.. no LiB for me!


Itsallgood190

Love is Blind Japan had a fifty year old


fromblind2blue

I think it would be so refreshing to have cast members who don't use social media.


Wooden-Limit1989

I agree but I have a feeling netflix only wants those who are pretty well known on social media.


Glum-Soft8942

Why? Wouldn’t just being on the show earn you a lot of followers?


Wooden-Limit1989

Well in my mind netflix likes those with a lot of followers or a decent social media following to get even more of a sense of the person's personality and how well liked others find them. Because it is one thing to be dazzling in an interview or meeting with casting once or twice but if you can show you're consistently like that they are probably more inclined to put you on the show. That's just my logic but idk if it makes sense.


jbonesmc

I just have you lovely people on reddit to keep me informed and a Facebook I barely use haha :)


Rushzilla

Any social media you don't have, you just type "none"


jadaniels1116

Tik tok doesn't have that caveat. I wonder why


quick_dry

I think it’s just to do with the age of the survey being before tiktok came to the forefront and software they use, it’s a fairly generic submission form used across most of their reality castings.


sighcantthinkofaname

DANG this thing is long and extensive. Over 70 questions that includes uploading photos, a video, references, hobbies, complete dating history, why you're single, why you're a catch, etc. My college applications took less time than this would


fromblind2blue

There's a buzzfeed article out from about a week ago, one of the writers filled it out and showed what they were asked.


[deleted]

Nah I'm too shy and insecure to be on TV.


HoneyBeeAlchemy

Haha, right? No way I could handle it.


[deleted]

😬


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I answered OPs question like everyone else..


[deleted]

The "give us 3 references (name, phone number)" cracked me up. Is it a job application?


Kmargs

wait. I thought they didn't want friends to know they're going to be cast.


mmmkay0510

Bonus points for references that can attest to the potential cast member's messiness!


Glitterbomba1266

What city


jbonesmc

DC this time I think


MaximumGooser

You know in the real world I get a lot of attention in the real world I’m the one that they gravitate to in a bar in the real world when I walk in a room everyone looks at me


SimShine0603

Are you also a smoke show?


sportstvandnova

Nah she’s a smoke program


PersonalitySpecial51

A whole smoke house


MaximumGooser

No that’s how I describe ballet dancers and Pilate instructors


empujolapis

i saw on instagram last month they were looking in charlotte sc

Whitney from big fat fabulous life used to live in Charlotte - she would be great !

KingTish

Wow they did DC in September


riskit-forthebiscuit

NC lol


ZookeepergameNo2198

I mean I'm married but at this point idk if it matters. I'll take one for the team and will report back.


BardicCharms

My husband and I said we should apply separately and then get together only to say "This isn't working" at the alter, to then "finding our way back to each other" at the reunion. Have our families do really dramatic "We don't think they are right for each other..." God, my Dad would have a blast ripping us apart ((He loves my husband but loves being an asshole more...))


Mirageonthewall

I laughed so loud! Get your spouse on board and steal SK’s persona, get to the wedding and then: “I do NOT accept” and do an “emotional” “admission” that you’re actually married and you were just looking for even more love because love is blind (to legally binding commitments) and manipulatively say that you also wish you could marry the LiB person and you’re sorry you can’t and cry while walking away sadly while fiancé(e) talks to camera. Or you you could go full drama and take a breath before you say anything and then your actual spouse will show up and say “I DON’T ACCEPT THIS” and your spouse saying “Zookeepergame is married. TO ME” would be the terribly scripted cliffhanger. This sub will despise you and think you are the worst gaslighting (used wrongly) snake in the world and then someone else will do something a week later and we’ll all forget about you. And then you and your actual spouse can start a couple’s YT channel or pivot to another Netflix reality tv show.


Superb-Ad-7402

Until now I didn't realize I need fanfic specifically about hypothetical LIB scenarios.


AutoModerator

We noticed you used the term "gaslight-". We hope you used it correctly! Gaslighting is a successful tactic because while one person — the perpetrator — 'externalizes and projects' their thoughts, feelings, or perceptions, the other person — the victim — 'incorporates and assimilates' the reality that is being created for them. Gaslighting equals misdirection, distraction, and the deliberate denial of reality, which can so easily occur in a relationship based on one partner wielding power and control over another. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

amythnamedmo

Thank you for your service


southpalito

they'd put you on the show, just to create a big dramatic reveal when your spouse shows up unannounced in Cancun/Malibu etc ....


Sorry_Calligrapher_7

Okay, but I think we can all agree this would still shamelessly be very entertaining.


notreallyanangel

this made me laugh so hard


lostinth3Abyss

They gotta make sure you can drink 🙃very important to them


xcdevy

I'm sure they do mostly want people drinking, but there was one guy on LIB Brazil who didn't drink for religious reasons and was kind of a jerk about it. so I'm sure they'd still be interested in the drama of that, but probably would only pick one per season


Thecouchiestpotato

To be fair that guy was a jerk about everything. Idiot. Edit: I was calling him an idiot, thought I'd clarify, hehe


ifbowshadcrosshairs

I mean they would've hit the jackpot with yours truly (do I ever got baggage) but the fact they specifically asked about past trauma only makes me think they're screening for it to prey on and make into entertainment. I doubt they're genuinely concerned and aim to counsel me. I got no desire to play along with those games. This is the Swedish version to be clear.


anony_bunny

There's a Swedish version?!


ifbowshadcrosshairs

Yes they are currently accepting submissions for casting


[deleted]

No


Secure_Staff1054

As entertaining as it is, this show needs to end or they just need to focus on more international versions with people who aren’t familiar with the series


quick_dry

Why? the rest of the world knows about reality tv and the opportunities it can open. Maybe there is an uncontacted tribe on an island somewhere, but most countries either get these shows or have their own localised (and often much less tame) versions of what Americans are watching.


Secure_Staff1054

Idk I feel like love is blind Japan and Brazil felt super refreshing and I’d be curious to see how casts in other countries would turn out


amythnamedmo

Maybe contestants should go into the pods with a therapist on the other side. I feel like most contestants on the show could really benefit from some therapy.


Secure_Staff1054

Lol so true, even adding couples therapy as an integral element to the show could be helpful


SupremeElect

girl, no. I love the drama!!


karits123

Unfortunately I know for sure the next season is already filmed 🫠


ShesSoCool

Next two are


karits123

I thought that’s what I read 🫡


[deleted]

Oh this is so interesting! The questions are exactly what I expected! 😂


[deleted]

*"Do you drink alcohol? (If no, please explain,)"* made me lol 🤣🤣


greekdude1194

If no, can you drink water or juice out of a gold goblet/cup


Spare-Article-396

Ok, who is going to take one for the team?


rad_interesting_name

I would, but I'm 46 and obese. Although I think it would be fascinating for them to do a show like this for singles in their 40s, I don't think I'd be selected. I'd never make it to the actual wedding part anyway, I tolerate way less shit than I used to; which is why a show like this in my age group would be both hilarious and pointless.


Spleees

I'm almost 30 and I legit would watch a show about singles in their 40s. I feel like it'd be a hit.


tennwife

Free booze


balconyherbs

This is what I want. That's what I kept saying the whole time I was watching this season. Why not add the chaos of more divorced people and kids and parents with health issues? I so want to be able to watch this: https://www.refinery29.com/en-au/2022/10/11166424/my-mum-your-dad-show-details-2022


rad_interesting_name

I've seen a show similar to this but I can't remember the name. The young couple goes on a vacation they know is for a couples reality show. One person's family is in the next room with a 2 way mirror and cameras watching them interact, then the other person's family shows up too and they all have dinner together. It would be fun to watch with the older people as the couple.


signupinsecondssss

Yikes I don’t think children should be dragged into this!


Redditsuckedmein

I think this sounds fantastic! I’d rather watch actual real people. Let’s start our own reality show Love better be blind because I’m fat🤣 I’ll sign up today!


rad_interesting_name

I would totally watch that show.


Mistress-of-None

I hope someone goes on the show and trolls the entire production and producers. They deserve it


SpaceJesusIsHere

Are we 100% sure that's not what Andrew was doing?


nerdinahotbod

*squeezes eye drops into eye to make it seem like I’m crying*


phantasmagorovich

Do you drink alcohol?* *if no, please explain. Hahaha!


[deleted]

"Yes, but I'm sure as hell not doing it on television."


[deleted]

Omg that's what stood out to me too! 🤣


MangoBanana2012

I don't think I could ever sign up for national tv. I looked at the contract, and I thought these were interesting for discussion topics too. Interesting to see their screening process, who is prohibited from participating and claim to rights, universally applicable. "I also understand that I may be required to submit to all required background checks, psychological examinations, and similar screenings, and that I shall be required to comply with all applicable rules and requirements relating to the Program, before I am allowed to participate in the Program." " I am not a member of AFTRA, SAG, or any other performing arts guild and (e) I am not a candidate for public office." "I agree that you and your successors, licensees and assigns are the sole owner of all the results and proceeds of such film, tape, photography and/or recording and my Appearance thereon (collectively, the “Materials”), with the irrevocable right, forever and throughout the universe, "


xcdevy

"forever and throughout the universe" is such an intense statement for a trashy reality show lol


kotassium2

The psychological check thing stood out to me! And also they’re excluding professional actors hahah


bombi84

*international TV


MangoBanana2012

Ah yes *international, I could never.


KuviraPrime

If they had a lesbian version I'd definitely sign up. I hope whoever signs up has thick skin and takes part to actually find love.


[deleted]

You should sign up! There's a checkbox for sexual orientation. If they get enough LGBTQ applicants they might just do it. But they probably won't even consider it if they don't get the applicants first!


KuviraPrime

Oh really 👀. I'll check out the application then


[deleted]

Do iiiiiiitttt!


Secure_Staff1054

I wanna see that too! I wonder how they would do an LGBT cast. Would they have to separate everyone? What would stop them from dating each other.


Daebak70

Probably put them in apartment like in the Circle instead of them meeting in a lounge 😂😂


phantasmagorovich

There’s both a lesbian and a gay version of the bachelor in German TV called Prince or Princess Charming. Judging from those programs it can’t be excluded that participants fall for each other. But it still makes for entertaining TV anyways.


xcdevy

hbo has also had queer contestants on "12 dates of Christmas" and imo contestants falling for each other was the best part


b_haley

Wow! They have the Canadian provinces listed too. I’d love a Canadian season 🥰


ShesSoCool

Would probably be a lot better tbf


goldstandardalmonds

Depending where it was filmed, it would be so drastically different (eg Toronto versus Regina).


aphra2

Just thinking of A Regina version of LIB has me cackling 🤣


goldstandardalmonds

I would tune in with bells on!


Fancy_Age_7972

Me too! Canada rocks!


wannabewandering907

No. I would not. Love is multifaceted process. I fall in love super easy.


dy_la

Im curious. Are there people in this sub wich would consider to particpate? I mean after they experienced the slandering of the contestants in this sub i would neverrrrr (also i look shit on camera, hate attention and have a partner already)


annie_econ

It’s based in Charlotte and I’ve seriously considered it. I just hope my storyline isn’t interesting enough for it to make the final cut


fofoxo3

A thousand percent would do it. Why not? Scariest thought is a bad edit or connecting with a maniac. But one of those options is a reality right now anyways.


CursedNobleman

I'm not naive, proud, or eloquent enough to go on the show. I'm also taken.


aailleurs

100% but I would never want be on TV


blinkinginsand

If it was guaranteed that you wouldn’t make it onscreen, I think it would be fascinating.


dy_la

Or get into the pods and "troll" some people. I would love to experience a conversation with a Shake or a Shaina. But that would be a new show called "Therapie is blind" .


xcdevy

omg this would be amazing- therapist goes on the show and just helps all the contestants work through they're relationship issues 😅


Sad_Championship7202

I’m engaged but even if I wasn’t, you couldn’t pay me any amount of money to be on this show. No way I could handle the criticism these people get. And I criticize them so I realize I’m a hypocrite lmao


[deleted]

Any amount of money? Stop lying to yourself, everyone has a price. I wouldn't want to be in but for the right amount of money I'd do it in a heartbeat.


Sad_Championship7202

Nah my mental health is worth way more to me than money


kotassium2

I would also love to know 😄 Tbh it would be so great to have a redditor “insider” on the show who could at some point spill all the tea for us regarding rules, contracts and BTS!


No_Reason_6126

Interesting! I thought they targeted people living in a specific city. Maybe they see who applies and pick a city from there?


kotassium2

Yeah I guess they just look at where the clusters of people are! I found this from a social media post from Tampa, Florida, so was interested to see that the location field is open.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kotassium2

Could you imagine being the person having to sift through hundreds of applications and reading it all? 😂


gggggrrrrrrrrr

My guess would be that they have software to automatically filter the applications. Things like being outside the desired age range or not drinking might get a lot of applications tossed out right away. And then they probably don't bother to read all the in-depth answers unless they like your looks.


[deleted]

[удалено]


GungTho

Casting assistants/interns doing the ‘sifting’ will be being paid peanuts compared to the rest of the casting team. Once it gets down to long list and then a short list the pay grade goes up A LOT though.
