It's not uncommon for reality TV show producers to edit their footage in a way that makes certain contestants seem like a certain type of character. It's often referred to as "frankenbiting." But this time around, the "Love is Blind" producers did the exact opposite; they left in unedited footage of Andrew applying eye drops to his eyes while talking about being rejected by Nancy to make himself appear as though he had been crying. And fans are eating it up.
One of the most popular reaction tweets comes from @BornInKampala, who said, "Love is Blind producers when they let Andrew use the eye drops to fake tears and then left it in the final edit:" followed by an image of three men laughing together. That tweet has over 5,000 likes from fans who feel the same way. Users like @nonigatlin, @kendrakatherine, @NarutoTrickzxTv, and hundreds of others were tweeting similar sentiments, all joining in having a good laugh. Was it cruel for the producers to pull such a prank on one of their contestants? Possibly. But it's also a refreshing break of the fourth wall — and hilariously ironic — that someone's personal image may get tarnished not because of deceptive reality TV editing but because, for once, the producers decided to show fans what was really going on behind the scenes.
