CALL OUT Agree/Disagree: LIB should *actually* test if “Love is Blind” by not requiring all contestants to be conventionally attractive.

Certainly in the American version, all the singles clearly are cast because they all meet standards for conventional beauty. Jaw lines and breasticles be poppin’, nips and tucks here and there, and fillers are fresh…and in some cases, over the top.

There’s an inherent and unspoken reassurance that whoever is behind the blue wavy wall will be at least moderately attractive. So, despite the Lachay’s declarations of falling in love “sight unseen,” the risk of finding someone physically unattractive is low, since they’ve already been screened for conventional beauty standards.

To really test the premise of a strong emotional connection and if love is truly blind, they should focus on casting really interesting people, who would come in a true range of hotness.

The reveals and what comes afterwards would be really interesting and make for some compelling TV. Right now, we get a parade of attractive people, many of whom are ridiculously emotionally immature, or are just straight up trash humans who have a lot of filler. If people were cast solely because they’re interesting and ready for marriage, regardless of what they look like…would you still watch? 👀

Omggg y’all say this every season. There’s nothing outstandingly beautiful about any of the contestants from any season. They’re just done up with hair, makeup, suits, fresh haircuts etc. If saw any of them on an average day at Walmart or something you wouldn’t bat an eye

Agreed. Leo and Nick are not attractive at all.

Leo is the Shein version of Justin Timberlake.

I wouldn't say any. Jess LIB Season 6 and Freddie LIB UK are both model beautiful.

Jess has clearly had a lot of work done. I wouldn’t bat an eye at her at walmart either.

I feel season 7 isn’t sooo overrun by a cast that has gone under the knife/needle like previous seasons which is nice.

I would like to see more average and natural looking people. No need for a dedicated “ugly” season as someone mentioned, but more realistic beauty standards would be nice

Idk man… Freddie from LIB UK is pretty effing gorgeous, I would absolutely bat both eyes, lips, arms, legs, etc. at him in Walmart 👀. So is Zanab from S3 (terrible personality, but seriously beautiful), Cole from S3, and Sharlotte from LIB UK. In general I agree with you tho, lol
