What do reality show cast members face that viewers don't get to see?
For example, the hit reality tv show Love is blind.
That show follows the contestants as they choose a spouse by talking one on one with 15 people without ever having seen them, not even a photo.
It's a little more complicated than that, and we'll describe it more in a minute.
Working conditions for those cast members have led to accusations against the show's production companies, including false imprisonment and abuse.
Several lawsuits have been filed.
Two former cast members have formed a group to help connect reality show cast members to legal and mental health resources.
My guest Emily Nussbaum writes about this in a recent article called is Love is blind a toxic workplace.
The article is also about the restrictive contracts, including non disclosure agreements that cast members must sign.
Fans dont usually know about behind the scenes problems because the nondisclosure agreements prevent cast members from revealing them with without the risk of a hefty financial penalty.
Nussbaum says the contracts for love is blind are similar to ones on other reality tv shows.
Emily Nussbaum is also the author of a new book about the invention of reality tv called Cue the sun, which well talk about a little later.
