Two well-known reality TV personalities are endeavoring to be cast on Netflix's hit reality romance show Love Is Blind, and it is problematic. Love Is Blind UK just finished airing its premiere season, and it was very well received by fans for casting relatable, genuine, and likable people for the experiment. In the U.S. version of Love Is Blind, there are six complete seasons from the streaming giant. Love Is Blind season 6 was also well-received by fans for its entertainment value, viral moments, and dynamic blend of cast members.
In the last few years, the Love Is Blind franchise has expanded globally. Under its umbrella, Love Is Blind has its flagship U.S. version, along with spinoffs in the UK, Mexico, Brazil, Sweden, and Japan, with more countries to come. Fans have come to love the show's unique premise and how well, or not well, the experiment has gone for the couples who have come out of the pods. However, clout chasing has been a problem with the casting in Love Is Blind, and the two notable reality stars trying to weasel their way on the show is concerning.

Dom Gabriel & Harry Jowsey Want To Be Cast On Love Is Blind
They Both Made Mock Intros
Reddit user u/pineconeprone started a thread after viewing two separate posts made by reality TV alums Dom Gabriel and Harry Jowsey depicting their desire to be cast on Love Is Blind. Dom, from The Mole and Perfect Match, and Harry, from Perfect Match and Too Hot To Handle, made mock intro advertisem*nts for what their bios on the show would be. Their Instagram posts depict their desire to be cast on the hit show that is beloved globally.
In Dom's mock bio, the 31-year-old "Social Anxiety Expert" wrote in his caption, "Time to finally settle down," and tagged Love Is Blind. In Harry's post, the 27-year-old reality TV professional expressed his interest in being cast on the show.
"See y'all on the next season," with a fingers crossed emoji.
There Have Been Clout Chasers On Love Is Blind
It has Diminished The Show's Likability
Dom and Harry have reputations as clout chasers due to their continued runs on reality TV shows and lives as content creators and social media influencers, which is a red flag. There have been clout chasers that have been cast on the show before, and their presence on Love Is Blind diminished the spirit in which the experiment was done. Most recently, Sam Klein from Love Is Blind UK season 1 has been accused of coming on the show for fame.
There have been other cast who slipped through the screening process, like Bartise Bowden, Shake Caterjee, and Jessica Vestal, who have shown their true intentions of wanting to becoming icons after the show. Love Is Blind viewers do not want to see cast members with ulterior motives, and would prefer to see real people looking for love. Fans' complaints about clout chasers being cast have been an ongoing narrative.
Having Dom & Harry Would Damage Love Is Blind's Credibility
They Are Not Suited For Love Is Blind
Going on Love Is Blind would just be another notch in the reality TV belt for both Dom and Harry, since they treat reality romance shows like a gig instead of taking finding love on TV seriously. It's likely that the reality stars with inflated egos could not help but promote themselves and give away too much info on their lives in the public eye were they to be cast on Love Is Blind, which would defeat the purpose of coming on the show.
They are not suitable to be cast on the show due to their public personas and well-known desires to be on TV.
Could Dom & Harry Be Cast On Love Is Blind?
It Depends On What Direction The Network Wants To Go In
There is a chance that Dom and Harry could become cast members on Love Is Blind were the show to try and have more visibility. The Love Is Blind franchise really doesn't need more visibility, however, and casting well-known figures like Dom and Harry would enrage fans and take away from the authenticity of the experiment. Due to the success of Love Is Blind UK and the positive reception of those genuine cat selections, it's unlikely the network would pivot to include career reality TV fame seekers.
Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix.
