Perfect Matchhas become Netflix’s answer to the question of what should be done with the host of contestants the network has acquired from the network’s manyreality TV seriesonce they have completed their season. The series brings together personalities that have already made an impression on shows such asLove is Blind,Too Hot To Handle,The Mole, andThe Circle.

Nick Lachey Picks His Top 3 Choices for ‘Perfect Match’ Season 3
HostNick Lachey, who also hosts other Netflix series with his wife,Vanessa Lachey, has already turned his eye to the future of the series after Netflix recently renewedPerfect Matchfor a third season. As host ofLove is Blind, Nick has seen several shocking endings to seemingly strong couples who walked down the aisle with confidence, only to end in heartbreak.Speaking withPeople Magazine, Nick was asked who he would like to see find their perfect match next, and his answer unsurprisinglydraws from his experience watching the way contestants onLove is Blindhandled their heartbreak.
Nick’s first answer was the fan favoriteAD SmithfromLove is BlindSeason 6. Viewers saw AD fight to convince her partnerClay Gravesandethat his father’s history of cheating was not a guarantee that he would beunable to be faithful in the long term. Fans were shocked to see Clay shower AD with positive affirmations during the show’s final wedding episode, only to walk down the aisle and call it quits. While Nick claims he wants the best for both contestants, he told People that AD in particular would be a “great candidate” to find love on Perfect Match. But the host also seemed open to Clay throwing his hat in the ring as well.
Another contestant that came to mind was Season 3 contestant,Cole Barnett. Cole was engaged to hisLove is Blindpartner,Zanab Jaffrey, but was also left standing alone at the altar. While fans may disagree with this choice, since Cole was initially perceived to be body-shaming his fiancé, which led to her claim that he had been verbally abusive when she was standing with him at the altar. However, since the season aired,fans have ralliedaround the reality star, suggesting he had received far too much negative backlash for something that amounted to immaturity rather than malice.
Netflix has many choices when it comes to casting, often even pulling from the international spin-offs of their popular shows, and Nick emphasized that his choices are purely speculation at this point. But the host’s hopefuls all garnered attention online during their seasons onLove is Blind, so it seems safe to bet that Nick’s recommendations would go a long way with the producers on the show as they look to begin casting for Season 3.
