Rory Newbrough proposed to a woman without knowing what she looked like on Netflix's 'Love is Blind.' But his fiance ended up breaking it off to pursue another contestant she met on the show. hereandnow
The unique premise behind Netflix’s “Love is Blind” helps the hit series stand out among the plethora of dating reality TV shows from “The Bachelor” to “90 Day Fiance.”
Former contestant Rory Newbrough says he declined to participate in the “radical” show twice before something about the concept called to him. Social media has changed the way people interact, he says, and spending 10 days talking to someone allows purer connection to form. Newbrough, 28, owns a home in the suburbs and says he’s more successful for his age than most of the people around him. In a more mature neighborhood, the game development consultant found it difficult to meet and connect with women around his age. Plus, working long hours at a “difficult, intense” job didn’t help him meet people, he says.
“I think nowadays people start to forget that there's no such thing as a relationship that doesn't have challenges to overcome and things you need to work on,” he says. “And you just say, ‘Well, I know I've got 20 Tinder matches. Let me just leave this person, go to the next one.’ ” Newbrough’s love story never aired in the series, leading some viewers to believe he was planted by the producers .
