About this episode

Love Is Blind is in the news again! Yes, it's bad news. Let's talk about it anyway! Season 2 contestant Nick Thompson is sounding the alarm on the inhumane working conditions and inadequate compensation behind the scenes of reality TV, Irina and Micah might be going on Perfect Match, and we're all mere playthings in a fantasyland for billionaires.
