While I feel pretty confident that the answer to whether love really is blind has proven to be an unequivocal “no” season after season, I still can’t help but binge Love Is Blind. It’s been eight seasons now, and for some reason, I still find it highly entertaining—even though everyone referred to the newest season as “Love Is Bland.”
As you watch the pods episodes, you can’t help but imagine how you’d handle being in their shoes. Would you make fabulous impressions on everyone and meet your soulmate? Clam up and reveal nothing about your personality? Say something truly embarrassing that becomes a promo clip for Netflix? Or would you rather die than find yourself on a reality TV show in the first place? This mid-watch daydreaming led me down a research rabbit hole to discover which zodiac signs would actually thrive on Love Is Blind. Here are the four that are the most likely to find lasting love, or at the very least, steal the show as the fan-favorite.
Leo
It only makes sense that Leos would shine on a reality show. With their dazzling personalities and outgoing nature, they would charm everyone in the pods and the viewers at home, too. They love the spotlight, but their strong sense of self means they won’t change just for the cameras. Naturally chatty and curious about others, Leos would flourish in the Love Is Blind format, where deep conversations take center stage. If any Leos get cast in the next season, they should be careful not to lose sight of reality—they might get carried away with the fun of the show and forget that real life is waiting for their relationship at the end. But even if their marriage doesn’t work out, they would almost certainly walk away with the fan-favorite title.
Cancer
Cancers don’t scream reality TV entertainment, but Love Is Blind is actually an ideal format for them to get to know a significant other. They get to date while sitting cozy on the couch, with a glass of wine in hand, while diving into emotional conversations—and they get to do it all without leaving the house (well…pod, but you know what I mean). The Love Is Blind setup gives Cancers time to open up in a comforting environment, which can help them crack open their hard outer shell faster than usual. Because they’re so in tune with their emotions, they’re also skilled at getting others to open up, meaning they’ll likely form deep connections with the other cast members. Once a Cancer starts to care for someone, their loyalty is unwavering, so even after the show moves beyond the pods, their relationships have a strong chance of lasting.
Sagittarius
If there’s one sign that’s always down for an adventure, it’s Sagittarius. Even if that adventure is signing up for a dating show on a whim, they are immediately ready for the ride. They love trying new, out-of-the-box experiences and will see them through to the end. Their signature sense of humor is sure to win people over in the pods, and their love for philosophical conversations will get the deep talks flowing. Plus, they’re notoriously impatient, so a controversially quick marriage is honestly perfect for them. If you know a Sagittarius who’s disenchanted with their dating life, don’t be surprised if they show up on Netflix next year.
Virgo
It may take quite the push to get a Virgo on Love Is Blind in the first place, but once there, they would treat it like the ultimate project. They’d put their heads down and execute it flawlessly, just like they do any job. Their notes from their pod conversations would be meticulously detailed, and choosing a match would be an almost scientific process. Virgos are also excellent at reading people, so they’ll sniff out anyone who isn’t there for the right reasons. They lead with their head rather than their heart, but for a show like Love Is Blind, that might be the perfect approach. By the time they reach the altar, they’ll be so confident in their decision that appearances won’t matter—they’ll already have done all the necessary research.
