About

Chelsea "I Look Like Megan Fox" Love Is Blind Contestant refers to the conversation around Chelsea Blackwell, a contestant on season six of the reality TV series Love Is Blind, telling potential love interest Jimmy Presnell, who had yet to lay eyes on her, that her celebrity doppelganger is actress Megan Fox. The moment led to jokes, memes and discourse online in February 2024, as many viewers felt it was not an accurate comparison.

Origin

In the reality dating show Love Is Blind, contestants interact in isolated rooms known as "the pods" where they can talk to each other but not see each other. Once they get engaged, they are then allowed to see each other.

In season 6, the first six episodes of which were released on Netflix on February 14th, 2024, contestant Chelsea Blackwell is talking with Jimmy Presnell, who until that point had been weighing a choice between Chelsea and another contestant named Jessica. Chelsea said that she is often told that she looks like Megan Fox, to Presnell's excitement. When they get engaged and Jimmy finally sees Chelsea, Jimmy tells the camera in a separate interview he feels Chelsea "lied" about her appearance, and that she does not look like Megan Fox.
