Why It Should Be The Next Reality TV Obsession

Love Is Blind is almost here, and many exciting aspects prove the seventh installment of this social experiment will be one for the books. Since its debut, Vanessa and Nicky Lachey have tried to see if love is truly blind. Despite being full of drama season after season, this dating experiment has produced many long-lasting relationships, making it good TV. There might be a chance Love Is Blind season 7 will be the season for love after an unsuccessful season 6.

Based on the Love Is Blind season 7 trailer, the upcoming unscripted show looks like one of the most insane seasons ever. Set in the nation’s capital, Love Is Blind promises more than just love and drama. The Love Is Blind cast members will form meaningful connections by learning about each other’s professions and political stands. As a result, it will be an unexpected journey of shocking revelations, twists, and turns that will keep the audience asking for more once Love Is Blind season 7 drops on October 2, 2024.

The Cast Is More Mature

They Range Between 27 & 37 Years Old

There will be 29 participants trying to find their soulmates in the Love Is Blind pods this season. Unlike previous seasons that have mainly had young cast members, this new edition has pushed the boundaries by having an age limit of 27 to 37 years. There’s an increased chance of long-term compatibility with an older cast than the younger ones since they’re less focused on superficial aspects and prioritize shared goals, values, and emotional connection over chemistry. Love Is Blind: UK proved this theory to be somewhat true.

It’s refreshing to see a relationship between people over 30 on a reality dating show. Although it doesn’t always mean these relationships are successful, there are fewer mind games and cleaner breakups.

Most contestants were over 30 years old and held mature and open conversations no matter how uncomfortable they were. Tom Stroud, 38, proposed to Maria Benkh, 30. It seemed like a match made in heaven. Nevertheless, their cultural backgrounds weighed in on their solid foundation, eventually breaking them apart. Maria wanted a traditional type of relationship where the man was the provider. Their values didn’t align, so the pair went their separate ways without hurling insults at one another, which would have most likely happened if they were younger.

There Will Be Drama

There Could Be A Family Feud

Honestly, Love Is Blind season 7 is bound to beat season 6’s insanity. From Chelsea Blackwell giving Jimmy Presnell an idea of how she looked by claiming to resemble Megan Fox to Clay Gravesande showing how many red flags, season 6 set the bar high. Love Is Blind season 6 concluded on March 6, resulting in only one successful marriage – Johnny Mclntyre and Amy Cortes. Similar to Charlotte’s setting, season 7 will bring forth individuals from all walks of life. The cast is from different professional backgrounds, ranging from military veterans to journalists and quantum physicists.

One of the most exciting aspects that may be a source of drama is having a set of sisters in the pods looking. Nina and Tara Zafar have a three-year age difference, with Nina being the older one at 32. Love triangles always happen in Love Is Blind experiments.

If these sisters fall for the same guy, it will be up to them to determine who gets the happy ending. Maybe by the time Love Is Blind season 7 finale airs, one of the sisters will have gotten hitched, whereas the other might become the series’ villain. This is something that could happen once season 7 premieres.

One Cast Has An Interesting Connection To RHONY

It’s None Other Than Ramses Prashad

In a show where physical appearance should be part of the discussion, it is hard not to talk about how some cast members look, for instance, Ramses Prashad. He may be trouble, so Ramses could get a lot of screen time. It wouldn’t be surprising if Ramses is the one being threatened by another Love Is Blind cast member’s mother in the Love Is Blind season 7 trailer. Ramses, 35, works as a program associate at a justice reform organization. According to his Tudum bio, the Love Is Blind star states that “vulnerability” is his superpower.

Ramses has an interesting connection to The Real Housewives of New York City star Jenna Lyons. According to his LinkedIn profile, Ramses worked at J Crew between 2014 and 2018, while Jenna was the company’s president. He might follow his former boss’s road to fame, hoping to get his big break in reality TV. It will still be a matter of time before the audience knows if he is in for fame or genuinely searching for one.

There Might Be A Throuple

Love Is Blind Season 7 Will Be Spicy

Love Is Blind season 7 will be spicy. In the trailer, a man says there will be several love triangles, whereas a womans voice adds, “We could just be a little throuple!” There are all the signs that this is bound to happen. First, there’s a set of sisters looking for partners and might end up pairing with the same guy, and second, there is an uneven number of cast members.

Love Is Blind season 7 has 29 participants, 14 of which are male and 15 females. Probably, the missing guy was cut off at the last minute, or there could be a member of LGBTQIA+. If not, maybe the producers are eager to introduce a more complex dynamic, different from the traditional type of dating.

A Republican Vs Democrat Pillow Talk

The Cast Will Talk About Politics

When Netflix released the official trailer of Love Is Blind season 7, it teased some possible conversations beyond getting to know what their potential partner likes. Despite talking about each other’s careers, goals, and family life, there will be a couple of political debates. During one of the pod dates, one patriotic Love Is Blind contestant is heard asking the other one if they voted (via Netflix).

“Did you vote in the last election?”

Having political pillow talks will reveal how different participants approach things, like gender roles and family, since they often intersect with political beliefs. It will also be interesting to see how potential couples navigate through such differences while building a strong relationship. Additionally, political talks might impact compatibility, adding another layer to Love Is Blind. They will test whether the couple’s love for one another is strong or can be wavered by things such as political ideologies, which is good for the experiment.
