What series kept you guys going during lockdown? Cameron: We watch The Umbrella Academy, of course. We watched Emily in Paris, too. Lauren: I made him watch that. Cameron: I got into it! I liked how you could predict what was about to happen next. The best discovery we made in lockdown was Raising Dion, which was a really good superhero show with a complex narrative. It wasn’t your standard superhero show or movie. Lauren: We’ve been watching a lot of superhero shows and movies. What series are you not allowed to watch without waiting for each other? Lauren: Anything that we watch together. Once we start watching a series together, it’s like: “You continued that without me? How dare you!” That’s almost like cheating, you know? Cameron: A mild form of it. It’s a no go! Lauren: I’ve been watching a lot of Fresh Prince and [Martin Lawrence’s sitcom] Martin. Cameron: You’ve been watching Martin without me? Lauren: Yeah, babe! Cameron: When? Lauren: See? You done started an argument! Cameron: I don’t know if I’ve been really rewatching any shows except for Love Is Blind. It’s intense every time; just a flood of memories and emotions. How many times have you guys watched it? Lauren: All the way through maybe once and then I feel like we just rewatch our parts. It’s like watching our home videos. Watching us get together, watching our families come together and all that stuff. It wasn’t overly produced, so still had a lot of transparency and honesty. What show has defined 2020 for you? Lauren: Hmm … Love Is Blind! Oh, and Tiger King. What’s a super-hyped show you just couldn’t get into? Lauren: I just can’t get into The Bachelor. Cameron: Oh, come on. That’s not true! You watched it with me and you liked it! Lauren: I watched it with you because you wanted to! But I just can’t get into it. I’m not even really into dating shows ... even though we met on a dating show. Cameron: I was the same as Lauren, until I got cast for Love Is Blind. And then I was like “OK, I need to do some research to figure out what these shows are like.” And so I started “educating” myself on this stuff. What reality shows do you watch? Lauren: One of my guilty pleasures is The Real Housewives of Atlanta. It’s so funny; I love how it’s so much subtle shade. I just love them ladies. Cameron: I like The Bachelor in Paradise show, more than the regular Bachelor because I can’t get fully on board with the concept of one person dating 15 other people. Lauren: You did that! You dated 15 people [on Love Is Blind]! Cameron: It was 15 dating 15, versus one dating 15! But The Bachelor in Paradise is a free for all. How have you guys been coping with your newfound visibility? Lauren: There was an adjustment period; when the show first came out, and I remember jumping on social media and it wouldn’t stop. But we try not to apply pressure to ourselves – we’re just doing us and now we have an extended family of people. We have a million cousins now! What do you think of the idea that Love Is Blind should have cast less conventionally attractive people to stir things up? Lauren: It’s so funny, for two reasons. One, who’s to say who’s really attractive? Cameron: Hmm. Well … I think you’re universally attractive… Lauren: Secondly, in my own life, I have dated attractive men and those have been some of the shittiest dates I’ve ever been on! Terrible! The relationship is whack! So OK, yes two attractive people, but that doesn’t mean that the love is gonna work. Cameron: Even people who chose who they wanted to be with [on the show], weren’t necessarily physically attracted to them. They weren’t even really their type, but they still made it work or they didn’t. Lauren: On the girls side, we were wondering if there was a twist, because we were like, “All of the girls are attractive.” We thought it was gonna be a Beauty and the Beast type of thing. Cameron: We talked about that possibility on the guy side as well. What would you want to see on the next season of Love Is Blind? Lauren: A therapist? [Laughs] I hope that everyone is true to themselves. Since the first season was so successful, I would hate to see people go on there for the wrong reasons. Cameron: I know that casting is quite good. They try to seek out people who they feel will take it seriously. I know a lot of people have been asking for people from the LGBT+ community, different body types. I’d be happy to see all of that. Would you guys ever do reality TV again? A spinoff? Lauren: We would love to continue to share our story. This is when all the good stuff is happening: marriage, blended families, talking about family planning down the line and all that. Maybe next year – we’ll see!
