Love Is Blind is the Netflix reality series everyone is obsessed with right now. If you haven’t seen it – what the hell are you doing, off you go. If you have – let’s go bond over how interesting/psychotic Jessica is as a human being.
The series is based in the US, and as far as we know there aren’t plans to do a Love Is Blind Australia, or any version from another country. However, given it’s massive popularity I think we could all bet our sweet bippies that there WILL be other versions of Love Is Blind in the near future – and I have some THOUGHTS about an Australian one.
Here’s everyone I desperately want to see on an imaginary Love Is Blind Australia – some are known reality stars / low-tier celebs, some are just vibes of people.
1. Ivan Sarakula
The break-out star of MAFS slowly grew on fans over the series, as his original arrogant vibe melted away to reveal a sweet baby angel who was funny, charming and respectful to his partner, Aleks.
I think Ivan was done dirty because his dress sense gives him the vibe of a dodgy real estate agent. So maybe he would benefit from the pod life to meet the gal of his dreams?
2. A Bogan Who Is Super Intelligent
Nothing would be more fantastic to me than seeing a true Aussie bogan prove to the nation that just because you love a good shandy and some saveloys, doesn’t mean you’re stupid. Here’s hoping if we see a Love Is Blind Australia, we get a quintessential Australiana type who can also hold their own in an intelligent convo.
3. Tayla Damir
I just feel like the Love Island Australia star got a shit run, don’t you? She ended up with a dude who had (maybe) a GIRLFRIEND ON THE OUTSIDE. Whether the rumours about that were true or not, Grant sucked and Tayla can do better. Bring her back.
3. Alisha Aitken-Radburn
Another reality TV star who got done dirty! Alisha was the breakout star of 2019’s Bachelor In Paradise Australia, and if you watched it you will remember your FURY over fuckboy Jules messing her around. Has this list just turned into reality stars I want second chances for? Yes it has.
4. A Farm Boy
Has this now turned into a Farmer Wants A Wife hybrid? YOU BET IT HAS, BABY! I will also accept farm ladies, as well. In fact, make them all farmers. What is more heartwarming than the age-old “I live remotely/I work the land/but also I would love a partner in crime” story?
5. Someone Famous Who Doesn’t Sound Like Themselves
Just putting Liam here as a manifesting exercise. But seriously – how good would it be if they got someone famous whose voice didn’t immediately ring bells? IMAGINE THE SURPRISE OF THEIR EVENTUAL FIANCE.
6. Flex Mami
Two reasons – firstly, because I was talking about manifesting and she manifested into my brain. Secondly, because you KNOW Flex would not take shit from any Barnett-style fuckboys, would have partners fighting over her and would spice up the entire show with her no bullshit approach. PLEASE. I BEG YOU, IMAGINARY LOVE IS BLIND AUSTRALIA PRODUCERS.
7. Someone From The Chats
8. Nikki Webster
She’s an Australian gem, and she’s single! What more do you want from an Aussie Love Is Blind but to see Nikki Webster fall in love with the man of her dreams?

As my colleague Izzy said, “I want to see “Game On Mole” round 3.” Don’t we all, Izzy. Don’t we all.
Anyway, that’s my top 9. Hit me with your suggestions on social media, by all means.
