Reality television, you either love it or hate it (or watch it because you hate it). Regardless if it’s your guilty pleasure or not, romantic reality tv has figured out the perfect formula to lure bored millennials in during the week; coincidentally being on while you’re procrastinating doing your homework for the week. Everyone has their favorite(s), but what does yours say about you?  

1. Love Island (UK, Australia, etc.)

If you like Love Island, chances are you’re a bit wild and are down for new experiences! You aren’t really quiet and like to make the most of any given moment. You like to explore your options, but settle when someone/something is worth your while. You prioritize the chase in things, making you very persistent to get what you want. But you may find yourself struggling on when you think you should call things off, sometimes hurting others’ feelings or leaving things in awkward terms for your future self. Make sure to always check in and have “a chat” to avoid this.  Stay cheeky, girls!

2. The Bachelor/Bachelorette

If the Bachelor/Bachelorette is your favorite show, you’re definitely a funny person who has a quieter serious side. You enjoy lighthearted humor and juicy drama, but too much of it can leave you annoyed. You typically know what you want and may even know how to get there but the question is: what is that exactly? You like having options and testing out the waters before jumping into something headfirst, making you very picky (in a good way). You’re goal-orientated so just make sure you have a rose by the end of the night.

3. Love is Blind 

Love is Blind fanatics are authentic girls with a deeper side. You all are genuine, true to yourself, and have great emotional intelligence. You’re also most likely the best advice giver within your friend group since you think things through in a mature manner. Despite your flaws, you continue to grow through whatever you’re going through, making you one of the most inspiring people ever. Everyone wants to be you when they grow up, make us proud!

4. Married at First Sight 

If you Married at First Sight is your personal favorite you’re 9/10 the most dramatic person in the room. You’re an all or nothing kinda gal, which makes you the ultimate catch! You give everything you’ve got into whatever you do/are a part of, always making sure that you gave it your best shot. Some would call you a “hopeless romantic” but you call it going for what you want and getting it. Because of your steadfastness, you may rush into some things without fully thinking it through, so please remember: confidence and consciousness are two different things, queen!

5. Are You the One? 

You are the happy-go-lucky friend of the group. Are You the One fans are the equivalent to the salt of this earth because of their “have it all, do it all” ability. You girls are fun, yet calm; funny, yet serious when needed; and caring yet blunt during the right moments. You girls are the full package, although seemingly too much to handle, but unique all the same. You’re a rollercoaster of an adventure and one hell of a ride to say the least, but this very quality is what attracts others to you!
