Love Is Blind: bride walks out on groom over his silence on BLM, LGBT rights and vaccines
She said yes at the altar, but with a big catch: he had no opinion on Black Lives Matter, LGBT rights or vaccines. The scene, aired in the latest season of "Love Is Blind", has reignited the debate over whether the show is reality or script. The bride explained that she had watched a sermon from the groom's church online and found it "too traditional". It was not that she was against it, it was that he had no stance at all.
The numbers that debunk love at first sight
According to the show's own data, only 18% of accepted proposals end in marriage. Of the 72% that fall apart, 54% do so before the ceremony and 46% at the altar. These figures fuel the suspicion that the reality show is after scandal more than romance.
Reality or script?
Most analyses suggest the incident was "staged" and that "they picked current hot-button topics to build the scene". However, others argue that even if production is involved, the couples are real and so are their ideological differences. Either way, the prevailing view is that the groom "dodged a bullet".
Given this track record, the question is not whether love is blind, but whether television still is.
