We created an all-Columbus dating reality show, and you can watch the first episode here

With excitement in the air as a new season of Love is Blind appears to be set in Columbus, we decided to embrace it. How, you ask? By creating our very own dating reality series, Date or Ditch.

The series, which kicked off with episode 1 yesterday, can be watched for free on our YouTube channel. Five more episodes–each roughly seven minutes in length–will be available in the coming weeks as well.

Pulling from a massive field of Columbus-based contestants, each episode pairs two Columbus singles, after some serious vetting on our part, on a blind date. Following an initial meeting and drinks, each couple must decide if they want to finish their date, or leave on the spot; if they want to date or ditch.

You can watch the first episode below:
