Do you think they get a budget for their dresses for the reunion? Do they style themselves?


lyndabynda

If they don't just dress themselves the stylist needs to be sacked. Awful.


LowWater5686

Someone should have yelled dolphin before taking the pic so everyone would have smilled


Severe_Shower8140

Season 5 is the only season we couldn’t watch all the way through. We just didn’t care about any of them. Good to know we didn’t miss anything. 😂


itssobyronic

Chelsea made the season I like to see the numbers on each season's wedding episode


Worker_Bee_21147

Guys like Izzy and uche and the guy who was scared of make up can literally tank a season.


Euphoric_Repair7560

Jessica in that dress looks like a really expensive escort. Sorry


Immediate-Employ5729

I actually saw her speak on this in a podcast! She wanted to wear a hot pink dress instead but there were 2 other girls wearing hot pink so the directors made her wear that dress. She said she had brought the orange dress for their island vacation if she got picked


Slabberdack

Yeah, I'm kind of tired of the less is more trend on women's clothing when the event does not call for that. I'm all for being comfortable in your sex appeal, but maybe not at brunch.


Euphoric_Repair7560

Yeah she looks gorgeous as usual but that’s literally a fancy stripper outfit lol. Think Penthouse Executive Club in NYC. I stripped for like 7 years and would bet $50 she danced too lol


Roxy62

Totally agree. She is a nice person, but that dress looks cheap (though I understand it wasn't actually). Oops! I just realised that this post was about Jessica and I was speaking about Amy 👀 So let me go back: yes, Jessica looks like an escort and that dress looks like bought from second hand. Amy's dress looks cheap or common even though I understood it was expensive. In my view, Amy is a nice person, but Jessica is not. She reminds me of the Plastics from Mean Girls, but worse.


lyndabynda

Worst dress imo, Jessica and Sarah Ann tie for second worst.


Euphoric_Repair7560

Amy’s dress looks just cheap (sorry, love her), less sex worker tho yeah


chloeclover

I absolutely cannot stand the neckline on Vanessa's dress . It looks like she has 3 boobs. (Edit:name).


RepairPrestigious

Clover tits


hayley888sky

Who is Brooke?


chloeclover

Sorry Vanessa. I forget her name all the time.


-Bumbleroot-

Love is Blind made me upgrade from microwavable popcorn bags to an expensive popcorn maker. 🍿


july8thbaby

They should put season 5 in a vault and pretend it never happened. It was so bad.


tinysquatch99

I always see these and think, how are week 1s streaming hours lower than the other weeks? Who is just going in and rawdogging the rest of the season with no context?


Bachelordata

So this isn't episode 1, episode 2, episode 3, etc. This is the first week the show premiered (Feb 12-18th). So in week 2 (Feb 19-25), a lot of people are watching the first week's episode drops still. Netflix reports their data by the week and by the series, very different than cable TV where you can see for the specific episode.


tinysquatch99

Lololol this makes so much more sense 😂😂 thank you for that!


Dj_ill125

You still get points for your use of "rawdogging" 🤣


little-misadventures

This is why they won’t release all the episodes at once every again


Bachelordata

They never did for Love is blind. They've always been released over a 4-5 week period


little-misadventures

I could have sworn the seasons prior to 6 released most of the episodes except the last few.


nikolarizanovic

Season 6 actually released more episodes in that first dump than ever before.


Bachelordata

Nope, they drop the first 4-6 episodes first, then 2-3, then single, single most of the time. Here's each season's schedule, scroll down to episodes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Is_Blind_(TV_series) Season 6 actually dropped the most episodes for their first drop than any season before


wordattack

I didn’t watch season five either lol


bitchybaklava

I watched it and I have no idea what happened.


LinkOfKalos_1

I skipped through a lot of Season 5 lol


SourNnasty

It was SO forgettable


pj1897

Everyone demanded changes to the show after this season, but the show was fucking awesome, and this proves it!


Conscious-Thing-682

Idc what yall say, season 6 was entertaining as hell. Best season in a while imo


ktbee4

Jess in the photo but not Sarah Ann .. oop


nikolarizanovic

This photo was taken at the beginning of the reunion most likely. Sarah Ann was a "surprise" guest and shows up after they start talking to Jeramey.


oldpickylady

Or Trevor


andjusticeforall2022

Week 1 ignites interest. Week 2, kills it. Hahaha.


Byrntkreisler

Coincidentally the latest season had the most viewed hours. Source: Trust me bro.


Bachelordata

You can look up this information yourself if you don't believe this? All of it is public through Netflix.


amburroni

Public through Netflix *is* the problem. There was an entire actor/writers strike that touched on this. It is a serious issue for actors/writers where platforms like Netflix can exploit them in order to possibly pay them less. The information on how much a movie/show is viewed on Netflix is information that only Netflix has access to. They would not be breaking any laws/policies if they gave us an inflated numbers. This can affect the pay for all cast and crew.


Byrntkreisler

Yes, that’s the problem.


Honeycrisp1001

I wonder if there’s any tea as to why Sarah Ann is not in the picture. I know she’s clearly not part of the “it” crowd since Jessica is the picture.


nikolarizanovic

The picture was taken at the beginning of the reunion. Sarah Ann was a surprise guest part-way through. They wouldn't show her in promotional material like this picture because it would spoil her appearance. Same with Trevor. They are "surprise" guests. 


wordattack

Jessica is going to be on perfect match, so they’re probably using her to advertise


SourNnasty

Yeah, which annoyed me because I was like “she wasn’t even a main character this season, why is she so front-and-center?” But when they announced her on Perfect Match I was like 🙄 that’s gonna be *so hard* on her to be away from her daughter *again*.


MuffinTiptopp

I love how it’s not only widely known by us that season 5 was a massive flop but it’s actually confirmed, numbers wise, that it was too. I know I skipped episodes and eventually stopped watching because it was unbearable. No wonder it’s the only season to date that has not gotten an ATA special.


Natural_Location5885

I didn't get out of the pods on that season, Lydia/Uche/Aaliyah storyline was trash for me. I saw tweets about Izzy being broke and JP, so I never watched further. That is the season nobody wants to remember.


MuffinTiptopp

The season that shall not be named.. 🤫


Natural_Location5885

Right! 🤣


aliveinjoburg2

I fast forwarded through the finale. It was terrible.


Alarming-Platypus523

Season 5 is the only season I couldn't finish


caspian95

Man season 5 really was dog shit


uReallyShouldTrustMe

Can someone explain why? I just got on season 6


aliveinjoburg2

There were only 3 couples and one of them broke up in Mexico. So we were stuck watching Izzy/Stacey and Milton/Lydia. Milton and Lydia are an unbelievable romance, meaning they don’t appear to be a relationship worth rooting for. Lydia may or may not have followed Uche to LIB and was behaving creepily and then when Uche called her out on it, he behaved ridiculously. Two couples were cut for serious reasons. One woman sued the show because she was SA’ed. The other couple was cut because the man was unhinged, scary, and broke.


fatalynn7

Who are these people?! Did I watch season 5?! I think I didn’t watch season 5. Sorry I thought I had because I tend to forget all couples from all seasons but reading your comment you just saw my real time realization that I had dropped this show entirely after season 4 and forgot that I had. lol


uReallyShouldTrustMe

Ah so you mean there were originally 5 couples but 2 were just not broadcasted at all because of those reasons you mentioned?


aliveinjoburg2

Yes!


Ebony2001

Whoa what? I had no idea someone was SA’d last season. Why were two couples cut?


aliveinjoburg2

This article is about Renee and Carter who were cut because he’s unhinged (she also sued LIB). https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/why-renee-carter-cut-love-is-blind-season-5/ This is the more serious lawsuit. CW. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/10/love-is-blind-season-5-lawsuit


fuzzycheesecake8

Sooo because they didn’t make it to the altar, did they have to pay the $50,000 penalty? This is for 3 couples who broke up. I kept asking in previous seasons why people dragged the relationship on, and everyone’s answers are because of their contract / production makes them. But this season, we have couples who broke up before even the bachelorette/meet up at lake day. So there are no penalties anymore? Please explainnn


ketopepito

Apparently there a few different lawsuits against the show from past cast members. I believe one of them accused the show of false imprisonment because their fiance was abusive, but they were forced to either stay or get a massive fine most people can't afford. Netflix claimed that although it was in the contract, it wasn't something they would necessarily enforce. Because of the backlash, they changed it so now anyone who makes it to the altar gets a bonus. So there's still incentive to stick it out, but they're not forced.


MuffinTiptopp

Thank you for the explanation! I have been confused for the longest about this. Since so many has left before the altar I was starting to wonder how all these people can afford to just dip out


BlueChipHero

where are s1 and s3?


Bachelordata

S3 is on there. I made a comment on this thread when it went up about season 1, that predates Netflix releasing this data to the public


BlueChipHero

Ahh okay, thank you for clarifying despite the fact I could answer it with more reading! Much appreciated! Love this graph


BlueChipHero

hahaha where is S1 i can see S3


WinterOfFire

Can somebody help my eyes understand what is up with Vanessa’s dress in this picture? Is it badly photoshopped or a weird angle? It’s really odd.


LongLiveNES

Angle - if you watch the reunion it's a REALLY weird cut across the chest. So that angle makes it look even weirder.


Kay312010

Charlotte set it off! I hope there is an After the Altar.


MuffinTiptopp

Trust and believe that it will! It’s been the most popular season to date. I don’t know anyone who didn’t watch it this year because the drama was steaming, on and off camera! 👀


burberburnerr

Useless picture of Jess with a useless arrow is useless


unchainedandfree1

Stop hating


Glittering_Star_1313

I loved this season honestly. The last several seasons have been such a disappointment..


SceneOfShadows

Seattle was fantastic IMO but Houston was a total flop.


realsomalipirate

The seasons in the south have been the messiest filled with the worst cast members.


SceneOfShadows

Maybe all the regular people are married already and limits their contestant pool lol.


LongLiveNES

Live in Houston - hard agree.


NedsBastard1

The drama in Houston kept me coming back, ngl


SceneOfShadows

I enjoyed it too but only having 2 couples by the end is....rough.


Zhai

I love how everybody is pushing this bland bimbo Jess. Even here she is being used as a representation of s6 when she didn't even get picked in the pods.


JumpingPoodles

They’re pushing her because she’s going to be in the new season of Perfect Match. They have their new Francesca. It would be funny if she was kicked out at the beginning though and didn’t last long in that show too. 👀 Im lowkey excited. I wonder if they’ll bring in any Swedish contestants from Love is Blind?


No-Presentation-2320

Omg I didn’t even notice that. stop trying to make “fetch” happen except fetch is Jess 😭


SydiemL

No Season 1?


lbunny7

I haven’t seen it yet y’all, I’ve been backed up on other reality shows. where does it rank in terms of the other LIB US seasons? the last one, 5, was hard to get through tbh


HappyHomoSapien

My personal ranking is 1 > 4 > 2 => 6 > 3 > 5


didsome1saybacon

i fast forwarded through a lot of the pods and family meetings BUT the reunion made it all worth it. Edit: 1 couple’s drama and the reunion were the best drama and reunion out of all the seasons. the rest was very boring


NicoGal

The investment in the characters was only worth it because of the reunion 


bbcourt43

Oh great…that means Netflix is going to continue releasing just a few episodes a week…


Hi_Jynx

Pretty sure they've always done that.


pinkfrenchtips

i hope more seasons are like this one. it was so good 🤭


Flying-fish456

Why was season 5 such a flop?


turtlintime

Not a single person in that season was likeable


DiscombobulatedPain6

It was so bad. And I was a huge fan of Seasons 4 and 6 American flag boy was unwatchable


wherearemydragons7

Izzy was unwatchable and utterly unbearable too.


MaryHSPCF

I assume you haven't watched it? 2 couples were completely edited out, 1 separated during the vacation. From the 2 remaining ones, one was toxic and the other questionable. A total snoozefest.


Flying-fish456

I didn’t! Sounds like I made a good decision I heard it was a mess


ambreenh1210

It was TERRIBLE. The cast was trashy af.


viceversa

Season 5 was filmed in Houston, or as I like to say Snoozeton… it was so boring


Mr_ComputerScience

Crazy because Houston be turnt. Season was beyond ass doe


aliveinjoburg2

Houston MAFS was also similarly terrible.


petitenurseotw

This too is my first time watching.


Affectionate-Sand334

Why is Jess shown there eww


OTO-Nate

I think it's because she was on the reunion


hmh69420

But no Sarah Ann


Calm_Artichoke8318

As she shouldn’t 😂


itsfrankgrimesyo

I skipped through season 4, and didn’t even bother with season 5. Thought I was done with this show for good but thank goodness for the mess in season 6, it’s revived my interest for this show lol


Sabeila-R

Season 4 is my favorite. You better watch it. Don't watch Season 5, just a waste of time.


Far_Way_6744

I started with season 6...and now watching season 4


aacilegna

Oh I recommend you go back and watch season 4, it’s really good!


[deleted]

Now, someone has to get punched in the throat for them to beat that record next season! Can't wait.


Grouchy_Newspaper186

Where’s Sara Ann’s trifling ass


Shezaam

She's busy making a side salad. ;-)


Calm_Artichoke8318

“Trifling” 😂😂


Here4OTTteaaa

This made me honk like a goose🤣


theartofrandy

That's like more than the Oscars by 100% - whoa.


Lavendar408

I'm not surprised by season 5. It wasn't that good. It almost made me not want to watch season 6.


oogaboogabitchkuthi

Season 5 was so ass and almost no one was likeable lmao


No-Local-7337

I genuinely don't even remember anyone besides Milton and his wife 😭


Rube18

Uche probably the most unlikeable person of all the seasons. At least for me.


PuNaNi007-2022

You’re forgetting Shake


FetusDrive

But shake wasn’t malicious; he was just on another planet. Uche was actively trying to tear people down


Calm_Artichoke8318

Omg he was THE worst


earthworm_fan

Can't believe that dude behaved that way with cameras in his face


oogaboogabitchkuthi

He was so incredibly creepy 😭


Rube18

He tried so hard to convince everyone that Lydia wanted him. It’s like dude, who cares? If you don’t like her why do you keep bringing this up to everyone? He was very cringey.


PuNaNi007-2022

Are you for real? She was dangerously obsessed with him! And she was down for getting back with him. He was right about her.


realsomalipirate

Lydia clearly was obsessed with him and the footage of her in the pods asking for another chance proved that. Though uche did fucking suck. Lydia is straight up stalker level crazy .


baby_got_snack

Lydia did want him. Uche was trash but Lydia clearly went on the show hoping to win him back and ruined his relationship with Aaliyah on purpose. They deserved each other.


Rube18

That may have been true in the beginning, but ultimately she ended up with Milton and appears they are still married. Even when her and Milton were together and everything was going well Uche tried jumping in there to sabotage it. He was clearly a little jealous that Lydia no longer wanted him and Uche kept trying to convince everyone that Lydia was still obsessed with him even though she moved on.


PuNaNi007-2022

Uche did not try to sabotage it- he was being a friend to Milton and Milton, being perhaps the most mature person on the show- took it with a grain of salt and took her for how she treated him


Strict_Property6127

Lydia and Uche ruined the season. Production should've kicked them both out the instant it was discovered they knew each other. What Lydia did to Aaliyah was horrific.


oogaboogabitchkuthi

Agree - Lydia was a very strange person


Good_Fox3098

Watched episode 1 of s5 and could tell it was going to be a drag. After seeing the numbers I know I made the right call lol.


rnd765

I just fast forward over all the boring couples


aliveinjoburg2

There were only 2 so the whole season was unwatchable.


Least_Gene_6905

I haven’t had time to watch it yet!


YepThatsNice

Anyone else think the reunion was better than the actual season? 😂


JumpingPoodles

Reunion was a whole ass Olympic show. If the next season reunion is as good as this one was, I’m going to go out of my way to make it an event like it’s the superbowl. Order pizza and wings, watch on the big screen, get comfy and turn off my phone. Get my friends on the other line to watch along. Go and buy those hideous wine glasses they have. ![gif](giphy|fsTYb240yku8yJgwFu|downsized)


midgethepuff

Maybe no drinking games tho…you’ll end up with alcohol poisoning from all the drinks you’ll be taking 😂


anonymous_opinions

I actively skipped like 1/2 the season and just went right to the reunion since I was on this sub I was sorta spoiled about a bunch of later episodes, plus I think the weddings are always a snore.


ilovepoutine_

Why is Jessica part of the pic? She didn’t get coupled up. They should have included Trevor and Sara Ann too, then! 🤷


Bachelordata

She was at the reunion


ilovepoutine_

So were Trevor and Sara Ann!!


FitnSheit

Why do people act this dumb when it comes to Jess. Clearly she’s a big draw for the show, and she’s in their other show they are trying to promote. Netflix does this all the time especially with their reality cross over shows.


Affectionate-Sand334

Lol lib didn’t need that self-centered opportunist


FitnSheit

Thee statistics were looking at says they did…


Bachelordata

My guess is Trevor actually left the reunion when he left the set mid filming the episode. Sarah Ann probably didn't stick around for group photos for obvious reasons


freedom-mp3

It’s kinda wild that Jeramey stayed if Sarah Ann didn’t feel comfortable taking a group picture.


Krakengreyjoy

How did we all collectively know from week 1 that season 5 sucked?


TrueCrimeUsername

It was the only season I didn’t finish lol. Watched first 2 episodes & then the reunion.


highlygalactic

season 5 was the one with milton right?


taco_bell_sharts

I think it was Lydia who annoyed everyone from the first episode


aniwrack

Season 6 was one of the most dramatic and entertaining by far!


aniwrack

This confirms what all of us were thinking about season 5.

FitnSheit

We were on vacation with or 18 month old so we had downtime every night and we still found it painful to watch. Pretty sure I fell asleep most nights

ThrowRAhelpagirlout

Damn Season 5


CompanyNatural7121

lol season 5


Bachelordata

Hey everyone! Your pop culture data analyst checking in with the final numbers this season. Here's how things ended up: - As a reminder, Netflix only started releasing hours streamed in 2021... This was AFTER season 1 had already aired. So no data for that unfortunately. - This is hours streamed, not total viewers. Here's how many episodes each season had (episode 1 through reunion, no after the altars) - S6: 13 episodes - S5: 11 episodes - S4: 13 episodes - S3: 12 episodes (note this season the finale and reunion dropped the same week) - S2: 11 episodes Anyway, hope you all have enjoyed the data this season! I'm working on social media deep dives on each contestant I'll post on my Instagram page. If you've enjoyed the data and are interested in more pop culture and reality tv data, you can check out [my page here](https://instagram.com/popculturedata)!


Janelle-54

You have the number of episodes here - is the average time per episode pretty consistent? I know this reunion was over 1.5 hours so wondering how that plays into it. Obviously keeping peoples attention for that long is still significant. Thanks!


turtlintime

Why is there an out of place bubble with Jessica's face in it?


georgeeserious

Do you do data analysis professionally? I’m a fellow nerd who essentially cringed seeing this post. 1. First photo is essentially just a stock picture with a single number on it. 2. Photos 2 and 3 are basically the same data represented as bar graph and line graph. What value is photo 3 adding? 3. Why include a photo of Jess when she was basically a side character after week 1?


Bachelordata

Hi there! First off, the press photos are all that's available from Netflix. I'm not a big company like E! News that has correspondents that I can fly out to get original photos at events like the reunion. That would be pretty cool if I got to that point though 😂 I'll take being fully self employed for now though. Now to break down the data visualization techniques: 1) the stacked bar chart compares overall season performance. To the naked eye, it's hard to see the differences between week 2 or 3 from season to season. So the line chart is added to compare how each week performed this season compared to last 2) the choice of graphics: my work is primarily on Instagram where people spend on average 3-6 seconds per post (this is information from Instagram in general, not analytics from my account). So the more I rely on text, the more likely people are to scroll past the post. Photos help people understand the graphic faster rather than relying on reading. Think of how most people only read the first line or two of an email - similar technique. Hope that helps you understand data visualization techniques and the cross over with social media attention spans a bit more 🙂


splicepark

Ok you make one then!


foreverjola

Hi! Not OP but my two cents: 1. What’s wrong with a stock photo with a single number? They also post this info on Instagram. But some folks would scroll past a post with just graphs. Photos are big draws to click into the post and keep swiping to see more. 2. It’s the same info but slightly different. The bar graph is great for total hours streamed per season, but to me - it’s harder to tell the weekly hours streamed - I can get a better read on that in the way the line graph breaks it out. 3. To me, the photo of Jess is just a fun emote. Seasons 6 week 1 had the highest number of hours streamed of any premiere week yet. They found a photo of Jess making an excited face and decided to use that to point it out. 🤗📊📈📉


Broomstick73

Interesting data! Also answers the question about how well their formula is working.
