He Was a Reality TV Villain. I Still Dated Him Anyway.
Let’s set the scene: You meet a guy on Hinge. He’s cute, has a solid job, decent banter. You go on a taco date. Mid-bite, the restaurant worker clocks him like, “Ohhh… you’re that guy from Love Is Blind.”
Girl.
What do you do when you find out your date is also America’s favorite-to-hate reality TV villain? If you're Cameron, you grab another taco and start asking hard questions.
This week’s ep of DM for Guest List went there. Jeramey Lutinkski sat down to unpack what it’s like to be publicly crucified online and still try to build a real relationship after. Spoiler: it’s messy, sometimes uncomfortable, and oddly… really damn human.
Reality TV Isn’t Real, but the Internet Thinks It Is
So let’s just clear something up: Love Is Blind is not an “experiment.” It’s a reality show made for ratings. You can call it social psychology in a box, but at the end of the day, it’s a high-pressure, alcohol-soaked Hunger Games for love and brand deals.
Jeramey didn’t apply - he got a random DM from casting while recovering from a breakup and heart trauma (yes, literal heart trauma; more on that below). He was drinking Crown, depressed, and had zero PR strategy. Which honestly might make him one of the most real people who went on that show.
Villain Edit? Or Just Your Unhealed Self on Camera?
Watching yourself on TV sounds cute until you’re publicly voted “Most Hated Man in America” and Reddit is building theories about your soul.
But here's the real kicker: Jeramey admits he was a mess. Not just on screen - in real life. Fresh off a broken engagement, battling PTSD from a near-death heart episode, and numbing it all with nightly drinking. He didn't belong on that show, and he knows it.
Growth starts when you stop defending the old version of yourself.
PSA: You Can Be a Villain and Still Be Honest
You know what’s kind of hot? Radical accountability.
Jeramey doesn’t gaslight his past. He owns the bad choices, the cringey moments, and even the sunglasses-in-a-fight look. (Iconic, btw.) But he also pulls the curtain back: What you saw was highly produced chaos, edited for drama, fed by alcohol, and strategically manipulated.
He was vulnerable, spiraling, and in survival mode - something the producers definitely didn’t put in the press release.
Let’s Talk About That “Cheating” Scene
Remember the moment where he allegedly cheated at Must Be Nice in Charlotte? Yeah. Turns out the infamous “next morning blow-up” was a re-shoot. They’d already had that fight off-camera. Production asked them to reenact it for narrative.
“Reality” tv is fake.
No one’s saying he handled things perfectly. But if you’ve ever made a messy decision while trying to exit a dead-end relationship… you might have more in common with the “villain” than you think.
The Internet Loves a Boss Bitch. Until She’s Toxic.
Okay, this part is gonna ruffle feathers, but someone has to say it: Just because she’s loud, savage, and “living her truth” doesn’t mean she’s emotionally safe.
We’re all for feminine empowerment, but real growth isn’t just clapping back and “knowing your worth.” It’s about emotional regulation, accountability, and building secure connections. If your whole brand is passive-aggressive jabs and you’re proud of it… sis, that’s not power. That’s projection.
Let’s not glorify dysfunction.
From Crown to Clarity: The Post-Show Glow-Up
Jeramey chooses sobriety now. No clout-chasing, no “influencer era,” no rebrands. He’s tried therapy. He’s unpacking trauma. He’s chilling with us on a podcast instead of chasing podcast clout.
Is he perfect? Nope. Still gets defensive. Still says “fuck” too much. Still processing in real-time. But he’s trying. And in a world full of filtered fake vulnerability, that’s actually refreshing.
The Real Red Flag? People Who Still Talk About the Show Like It’s Real Life
This part had us SCREAMING.
You know what happens when former cast members reunite? They talk about the show. Still. Two years later. Like they’re in a trauma bond from summer camp.
Jeramey’s like, “Guys, we’re not on set anymore. Take the mic off.” (Paraphrased, obviously.)
TL;DR: Don’t Believe Everything You Stream
If there’s one thing to take away from this episode, it’s this:
People are not their edits.
Mistakes don’t mean someone’s unworthy of love.
And being the villain doesn’t mean you’re the bad guy forever.
Also: stop watching reality TV like it’s a morality play.
