These days, reality shows are taking on a different format and are presented as "social experiments". And Love Is Blind is one such experiment. Nick Lachey (Yes, that guy from US boyband 98 degrees) and his wife, Vanessa, host this show where single men and women look for love and get engaged—before meeting in person. Watch as the participants enter dating pods and get to know each other through conversations about everything from romance to religion and see which couple actually follows through with their engagement by tying the knot. Expect lots of twists and turns as couples meet each other’s families, deal with old flames, move in together and of course—plan their weddings.

The contestants on this series are literally “quarantined” in their own allocated apartments within a residential building and do everything within their means (read: flirt, lie, befriend etc) as they work their way towards a US$100,000 cash prize. They’ve never met each other before and can only communicate via, you guessed it, The Circle—a programme specially created for the show that acts as a messaging service for all the contestants. Get ready for a whole lot of silly web interactions, bromance and some major drama—because what is a reality show based on social media without some catfishing?

For those who have never understood the concept of reality shows, especially one that is based on, well, watching people live their daily lives—hear us out. This Japanese reality show is centred on a group of six regular folks, both men and women, who move in together while the cameras roll. They’re given a home and a car and there is no script—which makes the show all the better. The constant drama and love triangle situations keep the audience hooked but we’d have to say that one of the best elements of the show is the panel of Japanese celebrities who give their two cents about the characters on the show. Their comments are hilarious and relatable at the same time because more often than not, we find ourselves agreeing with them.
