From a structural standpoint, Love Is Blind has hardly changed since it premiered in February 2020, but the show has long since passed the point where it can be described solely as a dating experiment. Over the past two seasons, in particular, cast members have become more aware of the cameras and the way they're perceived by viewers, with Season 4's Micah Lussier and Irina Solomonova embracing their inner villain in a bid for screen time, and Season 5's Lydia Velez Gonzalez and Uche Okoroha hiding their relationship history from producers and the other participants. Still, it's easy enough for these members of the Pod Squad to maintain plausible deniability: Maybe Micah and Irina are just bullies in real life, and Lydia and Uche truly believed their past relationship was irrelevant because they formed strong connections with other people.
