  • This is the Guardian.

  • Can matchmaking on reality TV ever be for true love?

  • In order to be successful in this process, you need to get vulnerable.

  • Welcome to Love is Blind.

  • So let's get married and see where this journey takes us.

  • You're listening to pop culture with me, Shantae Joseph for the Guardian.

  • All right, my lover girls and lover boys.

  • I have a fun fact to share.

  • So I was recently approached to audition for the Love is Blind.

  • You know, the infamous dating show which essentially tests the idea that you can fall in love before ever seeing each other.

  • Hands down, she's everything that I could have ever imagined and then some.

  • Will you marry me, Jack?

  • Of course I'll marry you.

  • Oh, my God.

  • As much as I was flattered, I'm skeptical about these dating shows and the gamification of love and particularly how they can portray you for entertainment value.

  • Because how can someone ever know who my perfect match is?

  • With Love island starting again this week and the next season of Married at First Sight uk, rumored to be starting in August, I wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes of these matchmaking shows.

  • I personally interview your friends, your family members, and your exes.

  • Paul C.

  • Brunson is a self proclaimed love doctor, and you probably know him best as one of the Married at First Sight UK experts.
