With Love is Blind season 7 continuing its run on Netflix, and having been hooked on Love Island USA season 6 this summer (with my Love Island USA season 6 report card reflecting high marks), I find myself comparing the two series more than ever. While they each have their own premise, have a drastically different number of episodes each season, typically feature contestants at different stages in their lives and have distinct end goals for the couples, the shows are still in the same realm of a reality TV dating show. As such, placing Love Is Blind against Love Island USA seems rather appropriate.
As a millennial, Love Is Blind feels more reflective of my age group, which should give the edge to the Netflix series. However, I find myself drawn to Love Island USA, as the Peacock mass hit has so much going for it. I honestly surprised myself, but upon close examination, I can't help but rank Love Island USA as the better program.
