The Bachelor and Bachelorette may be the OGs of reality dating competitions, but Netflix is slowly gaining on the ABC franchise. The streaming giant has had success with Too Hot To Handle and Love Is Blind.

Season 2 of the latter just dropped on Netflix and it’s already causing a stir. The premise of the show is similar to speed dating, with a twist that the contestants can’t see each other. However, marriage proposals can be made at any time, not just in the season finale like on Bachelor.

Fans already saw an engagement in the second episode of Love Is Blind Season 2. Kyle Abrams proposed to Shaina Hurley on the Netflix reality show and Katie Thurston has some feelings.
