Meanwhile, on Too Hot to Handle, you can look at all the beautiful, horny people around you - but you can’t touch them. Love is Blind is all about dating people without seeing them. Where to watch: Lifetime or Hulu Too Hot to Handle And the stakes weren’t a broken engagement but a full-on divorce. And eliminated the idea of choosing your partner. In some ways, Married at Fight Sight is just Love is Blind if you ditched the pods altogether. Married at First Sight bravely asks, What if two eligible singles went on a blind date … to their own wedding? As the name suggests, this show follows “expertly matched” couples that meet for the first time immediately before saying “I do” - and documents their disastrous first few weeks of marriage as they get to know their new partners, move in together, and try to integrate their lives. Where to watch: Netflix Married at First Sight Maybe it’s all a matter of editing, but in any case, this one’s definitely for the romantics. There’s also a greater focus on the contestants as they build their relationships preengagement: It takes five episodes instead of two for the couples to leave the pods. The Japanese iteration of the sight-unseen love experiment is formatted like the frothy, often stressful American show, but you’ll notice much more earnest romance over drama. If this season had you aching for more love stories à la Cameron and Lauren (and fewer contestants like this guy), Love is Blind: Japan might be more your speed. From Love Is Blind’s international spinoffs to gems from the early aughts to lots and lots of Love Island, here’s everything to watch next. Luckily, there’s no shortage of dating shows that feature scheming singles, love triangles and squares, and beautiful people tearfully trying to find their person. The two-month journey that followed a group of hopeful Chicago daters from small, insulated pods to vacations in Mexico to wedding ceremonies officially culminated in a splashy, shocking March 4 reunion, and now there’s a train-wreck-shaped hole in your heart.
The pods are closed, the infamous gold cups are empty, and another season of Love Is Blind is in the books.
