It is a wildly entertaining digital show that makes attraction brutally visible.

And that\u2019s saying it in a nice way. Underneath that is: you\u2019re not enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have turned the most vulnerable part of dating (wanting to be chosen) into a game show that exposes colorism in the flesh.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPop The Balloon\u201d is a Black show, through and through. It was created by Black people, BM Matundu and Arlette Amuli, and consistently casts all Black contestants. The show\u2019s premise is simple. Meet a stranger, ask a few questions, assess the vibe and decide: to pop or not to pop.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aesthetics are not a proxy for compatibility.
