Watching it truly blind!
I finally pulled the trigger! I am watching it BLIND for the true experience. I have an OLED TV with an option to turn the TV screen off. That's how I'm watching the show, as shown in the pic below, with me enjoying boba. Lol
When any couple actually meet, then I will turn it on to see that couple for the first time. Then turn it off and repeat for every couple. Then when the show moves out of the pods, I'll watch normally. That way I only see people on the show when they see each other. And also experience the pods the way contestants do, voice only. I also will only see "Pod Squad" once they show up later on in the season, if they show up at all.
Let's see how this goes!!
