While everyone is busy arguing about the drama on the show, I can't stop fixating on this instead

Like the seven seasons before it, Love Is Blind season 8 has sparked major debate online.
This time around the show has been criticized by viewers for its lack of diversity. The backlash even solicited a response from the show's creator and executive producer, Chris Coelen.
"Well, the show casts itself," he told Entertainment Weekly. "We put people in the pods, and you try to have a very diverse group of people in lots of different ways [at the start]. And then, the people who get engaged are the people who get engaged. The people who fall in love are the people who fall in love.”
And while the internet was having a very valid, very necessary conversation about the show, I was having a very unserious conversation with myself while watching.
A few episodes into the new season, I started to notice that some of the LIB cast members looked rather familiar. It wasn't because I had ever seen them in person myself, but because they looked like some of the A-list celebrities I grew up watching. And while I couldn't pinpoint some of their Hollywood lookalikes at first, once I figured it out, the resemblances were undeniable.
Below, see some of the Love Is Blind season 8 cast side-by-side with their celebrity lookalikes.
Taylor Haag and Kate Hudson

This one was a bit hard for me to pin down as I was watching the pod episodes of the show. But finally it dawned on me: Taylor Haag's wide smile, narrow nose, and almond-shaped eyes remind me so much of Kate Hudson! The resemblance really strikes me whenever I see the colonoscopy nurse laugh with her fiancé Daniel Hastings.
Meg Fink and Jennie Garth

Meg Fink gives Jennie Garth circa the What I Like About You days and I will not be convinced otherwise. With the narrow nose, wide smile, and downturned eyes, these two could be sisters. The wavy blonde hair doesn't hurt either.
Also an oncology nurse, Fink walked away from the pods without a match. However, on episode 11, she walked in hand-in-hand with Mason Horacek, leading fans to believe the two were together.
Sara Carton and Hope Solo

This one came to me so fast I had to do a quick Google search to see if anyone was thinking what I was thinking. Carton's oval-shaped face, her easy smile, bright and big eyes are reminiscent of former United States Women's National Soccer Team goalkeeper Hope Solo.
Unlike the soccer star, however, Carton's time on the show has been without incident and the oncology nurse seems to be locked in with her fiancé Ben Mezzenga.
Ashley Sutten and Leighton Meester

The brunette hair, soft smile, and doe eyes make Ashley Sutten a dead ringer for the Gossip Girl alum. It doesn't seem like the client success manager found her forever love on show as she didn't make it past the pods.
Alex Brown and Harry Jowsey

Much like fellow Netflix star and his lookalike, Harry Jowsey, Alex Brown has found himself in the middle of a he-said, she-said situation this season. It seemed things were going well with him and Madison Errichiello, but the couple broke up before they could get engaged in the pods.
According to Errichiello, after he found out what she looked like following their exit on the show, he insisted they meet up at the airport. It's during that meeting at which Madison alleges he said some things about another cast member and she realized "he was not the same person that I was speaking to in the pods."
