15 women were cast in “Love Is Blind” season 3, with only five shown getting engaged on the show.

In another tweet, Speed alleged that the majority of couples on the show “just move forward for entertainment,” adding, “Y’all could at least force some more sisters to move forward.”

I know it’s slim pickings but about 85% of them couples be forced (just moving forward for entertainment purposes) anyway. Y’all could at least force some more sisters to move forward throughout the show. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Asked by a follower how she thinks couples make it on to the show, Speed replied, “I think they only show what they deem most entertaining.”

It’s couples that get engaged that aren’t even shown sometimes. I think they only show what they deem most entertaining. https://t.co/sKrYsKMItZ

In the past, “Love Is Blind” creator Chris Coelen addressed criticism of which couples make it to air.

“I think it’s very funny for people to say, ‘Oh, you put somebody who was, you know, heavier in there, and then you just didn’t follow them,’” he told Variety in February. “It’s not like anybody wants that to happen or doesn’t want that to happen. What I want to have happen is just to be true to the experiment.”
