Netflix's Love Is Blind has got everything that reality TV fans search for: drama, dynamic cast members, and a concept that doesn't get old too fast. It's easy to see why people went so crazy for the series, which started streaming in February 2020.
It's easy to compare Love Is Blind to a dating series that has been around for much longer: The Bachelor. Read on to find out five things that Love Is Blind does better than The Bachelor, along with five reasons that The Bachelor will always be the best reality show where contestants attempt to find love.
10 Love Is Blind: It's A More Realistic, Relatable Idea
When it comes to realistic, relatable reality TV (which can be a tall order), Love Is Blind wins over The Bachelor.
It's easier for viewers to picture themselves agreeing to the "experiment" of talking to people while hanging out in pods and seeing if there's a bond; it's much harder to imagine going on The Bachelor and going up against so many other people.
9 The Bachelor: It Has Many Spin-Offs
When a reality series can have spin-off potential, it becomes that much better, and that's definitely the case with The Bachelor. It seems like a better show than Love Is Blind because between Bachelor In Paradise and The Bachelorette, there are so many different shows for fans to enjoy.
While Love Is Blind is awesome, it's tough to imagine what a spin-off could be. It just doesn't seem possible.
8 Love Is Blind: Some Season 1 Couples Really Seem Happy Together
From Amber and Barnett to Lauren and Cameron (and Damian and Giannina, too), there are some couples from season 1 of Love Is Blind who seem really happy together. It's easy to see why they felt they had bonded in the pods and why they wanted to actually tie the knot (or just stay together, in Damian and G's case).
Many fans of The Bachelor wonder if the couples want to get super famous or if they are even really in love, so that's definitely a problem that the show has.
7 The Bachelor: It Has A Bigger Cultural Impact
It's fair to say that The Bachelor has a bigger cultural impact than Love Is Blind. While not everyone has seen the Netflix series, despite the urging of friends who loved it, most people have at least heard of The Bachelor or seen a few episodes.
Whether they love or hate it, everyone has an opinion about this show, and it brings up an interesting question about the search for love and marriage. Does the competition aspect make it a low-quality show, or is that okay? The fanbase is so strong it even has its own name — Bachelor Nation — and that makes it a super entertaining part of the reality genre.
6 Love Is Blind: The Show Can Make Some Changes Along The Way
The Bachelor definitely has a formula and that can be all well and comforting but it can also get a little boring.
Love Is Blind has a formula, too, but the show has a greater potential for switching things up. While it seems like couples will always date via pods and have the cameras will follow them for a while, there are still ways that the producers can change the show. Maybe they won't always live in the same apartment building and will live in a big house instead, or there will be some huge surprises that fans can't even imagine yet.
5 The Bachelor: Fans Want To Keep Up With The Personalities Off-Camera
The stars of The Bachelor are compelling and fans want to keep up with them even when their seasons are over. Colton Underwood, for instance, continues to make headlines (most recently because Cassie Randolph, whom he chose on the show, cut his hair).
The series really does make celebrities out of its contestants, and that's one reason that fans love it so much as it's fun to keep up with the stars.
4 Love Is Blind: It Has Greater Potential For Actual Twists And Surprises
Whether it was Jessica choosing Mark even though it was clear that she wanted to marry Barnett, or G and Damian announcing they were together in the reunion episode, or Kenny and Kelly not actually getting married, season 1 of Love Is Blind had many shocking moments.
Unlike The Bachelor, which seems to have run out of surprises since fans have pretty much seen it all at this point, Love Is Blind will always have twists and turns. Fans will always be awed at who gets married and who doesn't and what happens along the way.
3 The Bachelor: The Proposals Are Much More Romantic And Entertaining
The proposals on Love Is Blind are pretty boring even though this should be such a big deal on the series. After all, the whole point is that the couples get engaged without seeing what the other person actually looks like. But seeing someone pop the question in a pod really pales in comparison to the epic proposals on The Bachelor.
For example, fans loved when Sean Lowe proposed to Catherine Giudici with some really sweet words, and watching all the crying couples on Love Is Blind wasn't the same at all.
2 Love Is Blind: It Feels More Innocent With No Bad Press (So Far)
Sure, Love Is Blind has only had one season so far, and there's always time for a scandalous news story that makes fans gasp and wonder if they should keep watching the show. But that hasn't happened yet... and the same thing can't be said for The Bachelor.
In the past few years, fans haven't been pleased with the men who have been chosen to be "The Bachelor," whether it's because of his personality or there isn't any diversity. Bachelor In Paradise also had some really bad press that wasn't dealt with as sensitively as it could have been.
1 The Bachelor: After 24 Seasons, The Franchise Has More Staying Power
Love Is Blind may be popular, but trends don't last forever, especially in the world of reality TV. Even though the Netflix series got a two-season renewal, it's possible that fans won't want to keep tuning in or will find it boring after a few more episodes.
The Bachelor feels like the best reality franchise about dating and love because after 24 seasons, it definitely has more staying power. And the fact that fans have such strong, passionate opinions about it keeps them interested.
