TV Take: Has the Target Demo graphic for 'Love Is Blind' Outgrown The Emotional Maturity of Its Contestants?/A History of Dating on Reality TV
Description
This isn't really about Love Is Blind. Well, it is a little, so skip the first 5 minutes if you haven't seen the reunion. Instead, I make the case that the audiences of dating reality tv shows have reached an inflection point. A lot of us are older than the youngest contests on some of these shows and I think it drastically changes our experiences watching them try to find love on TV. I take a look (with some rambling) at the history of dating on TV, how it's shaped Millennials' perspectives of what dating looks like, and reality TV dating shows are going to struggle to connect with their aging audiences if they keep casting people under the age of 28.
