The New Power of Far-Right Influencers

Michael Calore: OK. What is it that you love about it?

Leah Feiger: The chaos, the boring, boring chaos. It’s like, for sure, it’s high stakes for these people. These are real people with real lives and real feelings, but it’s, every single episode is like, “I just love you so much, but I don’t know if we’re compatible,” and I can sit and watch that for a pretty long time, it turns out.

Michael Calore: Wow.

Leah Feiger: And Denver, it’s just good. It’s a really, really chaotic season. This is one of my favorites in a while.

David Gilbert: Can I ask, is Love Is Blind the one where they talk to each other through a wall?

Leah Feiger: Just for the beginning, and then they get engaged through a wall, and then they get to have their life-meet. And the question Is love blind? is a very roundabout way of saying, are people really superficial? And it turns out that 90 percent of the time the answer is yes.

David Gilbert: Yeah, of course.

Leah Feiger: But sometimes-

David Gilbert: I could have probably told them that-

Leah Feiger: … it’s not.

David Gilbert: … since before the show.

Leah Feiger: David, it feels like you aren’t meeting me where I am with my culture if you don’t watch this with me-

David Gilbert: Probably not.

Leah Feiger: … to discuss it daily. Please.

Michael Calore: Leah, I really admire your dedication to the genre of reality television.

Leah Feiger: Thank you so much. Yes.

Michael Calore: I used to poo poo it because I don’t really watch it. I don’t really understand it. It’s not for me.
