Travis Kelce Reveals the Hit Reality Show He Loves: ‘It’s Worse Than ‘Catching Kelce”The Kansas City Chiefs tight end reveals his new guilty pleasure on his ‘New Heights’ podcast.
Travis Kelce isn’t above enjoying some “trash” TV. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end gushed over his new favorite show on Wednesday’s episode of his New Heights podcast while issuing a rare comment on his own reality TV show past.
“Jason,” he began, issuing a call to action for his brother and podcast co-host, Jason Kelce. “You gotta watch Love Is Blind, man.”
He continued, “It’s worse than Catching Kelce, but it’s so f**king good.”
Travis previously went looking for love on E!’s reality dating series, Catching Kelce, which originally aired in 2016 and is still available to stream on Peacock. The show ended with Travis choosing his now-ex, Maya Benberry, as the winner.
The 34-year-old athlete rarely addresses his history with the show and, in January, his managers confirmed in a New York Times profile that Travis’ team has no desire to do another reality television run.
On Wednesday’s podcast, Jason was quick to shut down Travis’ request to watch Love Is Blind, replying point blank, “I’m not watching.”
“Oh my God, Jason, please,” Travis begged.
“No, I’m not watching that trash,” Jason doubled down. “I’m not encouraging Netflix or any of these other subscription channels to make any more of this nonsense bulls**t.”
Love Is Blind has become something of a cultural phenomenon for Netflix since its 2020 debut. Last week marked the season 6 reunion special, which was filled with plenty of bombshells from secret girlfriends to shocking dating confessions. Meanwhile, Variety reports that it’s among the top 10 streaming series behind Bluey and Young Sheldon.
And like so many viewers, it seems Travis was particularly fascinated by contestant Chelsea Blackwell
