Netflix's Too Hot to Handle Will Be the Next Love Is Blind


If there’s been a hole in your heart since Love Is Blind ended, I have a surprise: Netflix is dropping a new show, Too Hot to Handle, and it has serious shades of the blind-dating reality series that took the internet by storm.

And by that, I mean this new show is also of the reality variety and centers on a bunch of really hot people making really bad decisions. The premise of Too Hot to Handle is simple: A group of sexy singles move into a house together with a chance to win $100,000. But here’s the catch: They can’t have any sexual contact with one another. No hooking up, no kissing, no nothing. Every time they break this rule, the prize money amount drops. Think of it like your debit card balance after a wild night out. Every subtraction you see just represents a dumb decision you could’ve avoided.

Check out the trailer for Too Hot to Handle for yourself, below:

“Your next reality dating obsession has arrived,” Netflix wrote about the show in an official description. “Too Hot to Handle puts to the test whether these hot singletons can find emotional connection without the sex. On the shores of paradise, gorgeous singles meet and mingle. But there’s a twist. To win a $100,000 grand prize, they’ll have to give up sex.”

This show is honestly the perfect mix of so many reality classics. You have the beachy vibes of Bachelor in Paradise and Love Island, the camera style of Big Brother, the competition element of The Challenge, and the soapy drama of…all those shows. I was starting to run out of things to watch during quarantine, so Netflix really came through on this one. How soon do you think the prize money will start dropping? You’ll have to watch and see, but I predict…quickly.

Too Hot to Handle premieres on Netflix April 17.

Love Is Blind Has Been Renewed for 2 More Seasons: Details


Netflix’s viral reality sensation Love Is Blind has been renewed for two more seasons, Netflix confirmed on Tuesday, March 24. The Circle has also been renewed for two more seasons, while the music competition series Rhythm + Flow was picked up for an additional cycle. And get this: Tidying Up‘s Marie Kondo is getting a brand new show, Sparking Joy.

Love Is Blind premiered on Netflix in February 2020, and it didn’t take long for the series to take off. The show’s premise is wild: Men and women go on a series of blind dates while sitting in “pods” where they can’t see the person they’re talking to. Eventually contestants narrow down their options until they’ve found the One. Then they get engaged, meet face-to-face for the first time, and spend the next few weeks deciding whether they’re ready to walk down the aisle.

“It’s been incredible to see Netflix members everywhere respond to the raw, authentic stories of real people and real stakes,” said Brandon Riegg, the V.P. of nonfiction and comedy specials at Netflix, per The Hollywood Reporter. “We pride ourselves on creating a favorite show for any taste, and we’re thrilled fans embraced all of these series with such enthusiasm and shared passion. We look forward to sparking more joy for our members.”

Casey Wilson: In Times Like These, We Need More Reality Garbage Like Love Is Blind


It’s a stressful time right now. There’s a lot going on in the world that is problematic and troublesome. Not to mention the global pandemic. Everything is moving fast. We all feel busy and overwhelmed. Sometimes, life just feels like a series of uncomfortable moments strung together.

And yes, we all need to resist and work hard to make the world better. But there’s so much expected of us these days—especially women. So after a full day, I want nothing more than to relax into the loving arms of screaming women on reality TV. Watching these monstrous, majestic creatures yell at each other is soothing. Really.

I’ll always consider Bravo’s Real Housewives my form of self-care, but I’ve also gotten deeply involved with Love Is Blind on Netflix. I can’t even tell you what’s going on between that show and me lately. It’s too much. For someone else, it might be Love After Lock Up, 90 Day Fiancé, or The Bachelor. Whatever reality show you prefer, I don’t think you should be ashamed if that’s your outlet to recharge. Would I love it if meditation and journaling helped me de-stress? Sure. But in reality, I’m putting my kids to bed, settling in with a glass of wine, and turning on reality garbage.

It’s fun to care so passionately and deeply about something so meaningless and silly! I’ve been watching Real Housewives for decades. I know their full histories, and it feels like I’m a part of their families. I call them my weird drunk aunts.

There’s a bonding process that happens when you meet other fans, too. My friend and Bitch Sesh podcast co-host Danielle Schneider and I love the community our listeners have built. Major, major lifelong friendships have been developed over talking about women we don’t know. We post memes. We send each other information about what’s going on. Well, information is a strong word. It’s more like, “I saw Dorinda Medley walking down the street.” That’s it. It’s frivolous, sure, but it’s all we need to get a lift for the day.

Look at sports fanatics and nerd culture—it’s no different whatsoever. The reunions are my Superbowl, and I’m not going to be a reality TV apologist about it. It’s a way to connect with people when you might not have much to talk about beyond the weather. You can have a heated, passionate debate about Jessica from Love Is Blind and know there’s nothing behind it.

The ‘Love Is Blind’ Reunion Show Is Here—And the Fan Reactions Are Hilarious


Warning: This post contains major Love Is Blind spoilers.

The Love Is Blind reunion show dropped on Netflix in the wee hours of Thursday, March 5—and it most certainly didn’t disappoint.

The 12 main cast members reunited with hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey to rehash all that happened on the show—and everything that has transpired in the year and a half since. (The show filmed in 2018.) And they had a lot to say. Amber confronted Jessica over her continued flirtation with Barnett. Carlton and Diamond seemed to get some closure. Damian and Giannina told us they are back together. We all fell collectively more in love with Lauren and Cameron, who are still together—thank goodness. We don’t need that heartbreak in this dark and twisty world right now.

As they have throughout the show’s run, people on social media had strong reactions to the Love Is Blind reunion.

Of course, there was the Barnett, Amber, and Jessica of it all. “Amber dragging Jessica for filth is exactly what I needed to happen in the Love is blind reunion,” one person tweeted. Another commented on Barnett’s facial reactions during the confrontation, “Barnett’s face while amber is going in on Jessica on the love is blind reunion is a big moood.”

People continued to have a lot of opinions about what went down between Carlton and Diamond. “LMFAO the Love Is Blind reunion was interesting. Highlights, Carlton doing the most in the apology to Diamond ??‍♂️, Amber reading tf out of ‘Mess-ica’ and Lauren and Cameron being the best thing to come out of the show,” one fan wrote.

America’s sweethearts, Lauren and Cameron, did not disappoint fans. Their love feels very real—and they seem so happy. Some were clamoring for a spin-off.

We just need to know one thing: if (and when) season two is happening. Your move, Netflix.

Love Is Blind Reunion: Everything the Cast Revealed


Carlton says the fight he had with Diamond led to him receiving death threats online. However, he’s more concerned for Diamond because she faced accusations of being homophobic and bi-phobic. “The woman I fell in love with, I’ve never felt like she was bi-phobic, homophobic,” he says. “I was just afraid we’d have some issues we’d have to work through.”

Diamond says she’s also received death threats, and that her intention with the conversation with Carlton in Mexico was to learn more about his sexuality, not attack him. “I should’ve approached it a lot differently in being more comforting,” she says. “Approach it in a way of saying, ‘I respect you as a person.'”

When asked if he wishes he would’ve told Diamond about his sexuality sooner, Carlton said, “I would’ve done whatever it took had I known then that’s what it took to sit here, happily married.”

In an emotional scene during the reunion, Carlton got down on one knee and apologized to Diamond. He returned her engagement ring and said, “I hope that you take this ring as a significant piece of our friendship and the start of something beautiful, without any type of plan.”

Giannina and Damian:

A reminder of what happened in their relationship: These two were also smitten with each other, but Giannina’s fear of marriage led to some hot-and-cold behavior about their future. By the end, though, she was ready to say, “I do.” But Giannina’s indecisiveness was a red flag for Damian, and he bowed out at the altar, causing her to (literally) run out of their wedding. In her dress.

And on the reunion:

Giannina and Damian are “so together,” says Giannina. “I don’t want to lose this. I just don’t. And I didn’t!”

Netflix

Giannina says she didn’t plan on proposing to Damian in the pods; it’s something that came to her after thinking abut their conversations about being equals.

On their wedding day drama, Giannina says she respects Damian’s decision to not go through with it: “Where we are now is just so right for us, where we can just date…We’re getting to know each other at our own pace.”

Damian has no regrets about saying, “I don’t” on their wedding day because it’s led to their strong relationship now. “It was definitely a strong love from the beginning and we pushed through a lot,” he says. “…But she was in and out of it so much.”

Lauren and Cameron:

A reminder of what happened in their relationship: These two were rock solid from the start and stayed that way through the end. The only obstacles they really faced were Lauren’s protective father and their
worries about being an interracial couple.

And on the reunion:

They are very much together. “I seriously never have been as happy as I am with Cameron,” Lauren says. “…Life is good.”

The two have a puppy together and say they’ve had a great time showing the other person new experiences throughout the year. “I think people often think changing who you are is a negative thing,” Cameron says. “Lauren is an amazing woman, obviously, and just being with her, I feel, has changed me in many ways. Watching the show back, it’s still me, but I’ve evolved over time.”

On the topic of kids, Lauren says, “One day.”

As for Cameron’s tense conversation with Lauren’s dad on the show, she says, “We’re family…Lauren has a strong connection with her father, so it makes sense that I would love him too.” The families even spent Thanksgiving together in 2019.

And that’s a wrap on Love Is Blind season one. Don’t make us wait long for season two, Netflix.

Watch Amber Confront Jessica Over Barnett on the Love Is Blind Reunion


This post contains spoilers for Love Is Blind on Netflix.

Love Is Blind hive, are you as excited for the reunion show (which Netflix is releasing) on March 5 as we are?

At last, we shall know which of the couples who actually said “I do” have stayed together since filming and, perhaps, if any of those who did not have reunited. Seriously, if Lauren and Cameron haven’t made it work, the internet’s collective heart might just break. And there’s already a theory floating around that Giannina and Damian are back together.

But arguably even more fascinating will be the fallout from all the couples watching themselves on the show, in particular the dynamic between Amber and Barnett and Jessica and Mark. From the early days in the pods, there was tension, as Barnett was interested in both Jessica and Amber, and Jessica constantly wavered between him and Mark. And that didn’t stop once the engaged couples left the house and headed to Mexico and, later Atlanta, to sort out whether or not they were actually going to get married in the finale.

Netflix

Jessica appeared to be super conflicted about her feelings for her fiancé Mark over his age, his job, his relationship with his mother, but also her seemingly lingering feelings for Barnett. On multiple occasions, she pulled Barnett aside to talk. Guess who didn’t love that one she saw it onscreen? His fiancée, Amber.

Jessica on Love Is Blind

Netflix released a teaser clip from the reunion where Amber lets Jessica know exactly how she feels. “To see her throwing herself at him in Mexico, bitch, you’re sheisty,” she says. “You’re so fake. Coming to my face like we were cool, you’re so fake. I think you’re a very disingenuine [sic] person, and I hope seeing this, you do grow from it, because that is not what the world needs is women that go behind people’s back like that. You were engaged to another man that you were leading on.”

“He was engaged,” she continued. “He made his choice. Anywho, so I’m not super happy about seeing that.”

We, on the other hand, are very happy about what this Love Is Blind reunion is bringing to our lives.
