From the Bachelor to Love is Blind to Indian Matchmaking, how much is reality TV is seeping into real-life dating? We're chatting with Natasha & Justine from 2 Black Girls, 1 Rose about what reality dating shows teach us (if anything) about modern dating, love, and relationships. We discuss why we're all so intrigued by reality shows in the first place, how the pick-me mentality has been perpetrated into dating culture, and ways reality TV shows have made us buy into (or out of) the fantasy of love.
