This week on I Know Thats Right , I chatted with Senior Culture Editor Erin E. Evans about the new season of Love Is Blind.

Also a few HuffPost editors and reporters began our live-blog chats on the first six episodes.

You can see a snippet of our conversation here and listen to the full podcast below.

This experiment wasnt for Jimmy. Hes so focused on looks that he cant even see Chelsea for who she is. And Chelsea knows that hes not attracted to her but is in denial about it and keeps looking for validation from Jimmy. And Jimmy keeps lying to her (and himself) about how much hes into her. Thats how we keep getting these weird-ass responses from him, like him saying he noticed her teeth (not smile!) first, but really it was how big her boobs were.

Jimmy had an idea of what he thought Chelsea looked like, and that was a big reason he chose her on top of her not challenging him like Jessica did. Its just like if physical attraction is that important to you, then this isnt the show for you. Taryn

Its blowing my mind how this entire season is so focused on looks compared to past seasons, which obviously defeats the entire purpose of the show. Jimmy is focused solely on how Chelsea looks compared with Jessica. Clay is focused on how AD looks. I dont think Kenneth is into Brittany, and it seems like it has to do with attraction. This entire cast is proving that love is definitely not blind. I will say I find Jimmy particularly egregious, and this entire thing is really embarrassing for Chelsea because she is really trying to convince herself (and us) that he is attracted to her when nearly everything he says, along with his actions, make it pretty obvious he doesnt think she is hot enough for him. Which is funny, because I think theyre at the same level of attractiveness. Cambria

Weve known that love isnt blind like we know the sky is blue, which makes it increasingly difficult for me to keep watching these shows, but I digress. Your assessments were spot on, Taryn and Cambria. Ruth

I think I mentioned this when we covered last season, but Ill say it again I honestly think contestants on this show sneakily ask and then imply whether or not theyre hot in the pods. I think Jeramey asked Sarah Ann how many Instagram followers she had, which is a vague way to gauge how attractive she potentially could be. The more followers = the hotter. Bartise was likely more into Raven in Season 3 when she admitted to him that she worked a side hustle as a bottle girl and Shake asked Deepti in Season 2 if she could sit on his shoulders. Im glad AD never shared that she used to be a professional cheerleader, because Clay wouldve been even more superficial than he already was. Im just saying, contestants have proved for QUITE A WHILE that looks are important to them. This whole show is B.S. (but I love it) Elyse

I guess it just feels like theyre saying the quiet part out loud this season, when in past seasons it was a little more subtle. Cambria
