The Funniest Tweets and Memes About Netflix’s New Show ‘Love Is Blind’
Reality shows about people finding love are a dime-a-dozen.
But aside from The Bachelor franchise, no show has taken the world by storm like Netflix’s series Love Is Blind.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve likely seen people on your social media rave or tweet about how strange the show is.
And it is, as is every reality TV dating series about people who are willing to marry someone after briefly meeting them or never seeing them in person.
But look, it doesn’t make it any less addicting.
The premise of the series is unique in that people (contestants looking for love) meet and talk with potential suitors in “pods” where they don’t see each other in person. The whole point is for them to connect with each other based on their personality without looks influencing the situation.
Following their brief meetings, they have 10 days to propose to someone, and following that proposal, they finally meet.
We follow their relationship in the real-world until it’s their wedding day on Day 40 of knowing each other. Who said you can’t hurry love clearly never dated in 2020.
As I said before, it’s addicting and the whole world cannot stop watching.
Here are the best and funniest tweets from the series:

If I produced Love Is Blind I would lock down the pods halfway through the speed dating and turn them into escape rooms.

Many People Prefer to Watch TV with their Dogs Instead of their Family, a New Study Finds
Watching a show without your dog can be “ruff.”
A new report by Rover.com found that as Americans increased their TV and streaming habits amid the pandemic, they have done so with a furry friend by their side.
Per the report, 57% of dog parents admitted to waiting for their dog to get into the room before watching a show.
Now, that isn’t entirely surprising because if you are a dog owner, you know dogs are great watching buddies… unless you have a dog like mine who barks at any animal on the screen. That makes things a bit more difficult, but still proves that he’s attentive!
The report found that 78% of Americans said they watch TV with their dogs very often or always.
Surprisingly, dogs were ranked #1 when asked who people prefer to chill out and watch TV with, with 40% of parents saying they’d choose their dog over a partner, friends, or even kids. And that’s because a majority of pet parents believe their pups are actively watching or reacting to what’s happening on the screen. (See my point above about my dog barking at animals on the screen!)
To make the binge-watching experience that much better for their pets, 70% have admitted to accommodating their pup by allowing them on the couch, giving them blankets, and even moving over so the dog is comfortable.
60% of pet parents even believe their dog has a favorite TV show, which would explain why 80% of dog parents admit to leaving their TV on for dogs when they’re not home.
The most popular genres? Comedy and action, which makes sense – after a long day of lounging and taking walks, Fido needs a good laugh or to get invested in a dramatic car chase!
During such uncertain times, there’s definitely comfort in knowing that you always have a TV buddy by your side!
And let’s be honest… is there anything your dog isn’t doing with you these days?

Netflix Renews Spanish Drama ‘Elite’ for Fifth Season Ahead of Season 4 Premiere, Adds News Cast Members
We’ve got some elite news!
Spanish drama Elite has been renewed for a fifth season at Netflix!
The news isn’t all that shocking considering the drama, set in the ritzy private school of Las Encinas in Spain, is one of the streamer’s best performing Spanish originals.
Not only is the cast incredible, the first few seasons were hinged around an intoxicating murder mystery and plenty of steamy love scenes.
The renewal comes ahead of the fourth season, which currently doesn’t have a premiere date. In 2020, filming was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic and an outbreak on set.
It’s possible the series will return in the spring/summer of 2021.
The upcoming season will see a handful of familiar faces including Samu (Itzan Escamilla), Guzman (Miguel Bernardeau), Omar (Omar Ayuso), Rebeca (Claudia Salas), and Ander (Aron Piper) as they were held back due to their shenanigans. The drama will also welcome new students Manu Ríos , Carla Díaz , Martina Cariddi and Pol Granch to shake things up.
Deadline also reports that the fifth season has added Argentinan actress Valentina Zenere (Soy Luna) and Brazilan actor André Lamoglia (Juacas) to its cast.
