When Netflix releasedThe Circle, I was dubious.

WhenLove Is Blindcame out, I was skeptical.

A dozen or so very attractive people arrive at an island resort.

They spend lots of time drinking alcohol and lifting weights in one anothers company, typically while wearing swimwear.

Yes, the entire goal of this show is that no one bones.

Theres also one more twist.

(I asked Netflix to clarify how Lana works and they declined to comment.)

But fake or not, theToo Hot to Handleparticipants take herveryseriously.

Robo-cockblock Lana is there to stop them from their basest impulses.

Its animportant social experiment.

But I can say its a fantastic reality-show mechanism for making me weirdly fond of these goobers.

We know its going to happen sometimes.

We know its a thing these people want to do.

What if instead, we reward them for not having any?

People with unfulfilled desires are more fun to watch!

(Less than I wouldve thought compared to $3K per kiss!)

People do get added and eliminated eventually, but cast changes come at unannounced, unpredictable intervals.

I suspect that would be the case whenever it came out.
