What's On Tonight (Wednesday): Cupid is so dumb

Love Is Blind

Happy Valentine's Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, February 14!

Our Top Pick tonight is the first batch of new episodes of Love Is Blind (Netflix, 3 a.m.). This popular social experiment/reality dating show places singles into pods only letting them to communicate verbally. After a marriage proposal they meet face to face and begin the next stages of physical contact, cohabitating, meeting family, wedding planning, etc. Not every wedding ends with "I do." However, the series has faced accusations of abuse and mistreatment from contestants. The allegations from Renee Poche are especially damning. It is a strong reason there's movement for reality contestants to unionize -- but does the greater public know the poor working conditions? Do they care? 

ElsewhereResident Alien resurfaces, Dior feuds with Coco with a New Look, Gina Rodriguez is a Player as well as Not Dead, Nova builds the Eiffel Tower, the mob plays its CardsAbbott gives advice, and BET presents a Christopher Nolen movie.
