Love is Blind 8x12-13

final thoughts:

Dave, Alex and Joey all suck

Sara is still insufferable and both her and Virginia are performative activists for TV looking to make people the guys look terrible while still attempting to date them after the show.

Madisons smoking gun turned into a sausage almost immediately.

All in all worst season ever and apparently the feedback has been heard lets hope season 9 is better!

Comments

Jasmine M

You guys don't watch married at first sight?

Karina

A. B

I did enjoy Madison getting cooked.

Basedra

Yeah that’s what I meant. For them to watch love island USA season 6. They would love it

Arielle Lynn Latendresse

I couldn’t STOP seeing it after that. Like damn girl, what’s on your mind so heavy like that?

ItsLargeDad

I'm sorry, but Roshi kinda got a point with what he said at 3:02:15. It didn't seem like Sheera had a strong counterargument to that.

Pan .

I understand what you mean. I do not fault women with the mentality you described, given the mindset of many/most/whatever men you alluded to. Hence another key phrase you mentioned are "reasonable people" It could be argued there are more unreasonable people than in reverse, which is why this type of conversation even persists. I find these topics interesting because I get the possibility of reading/hearing and better understanding the context people have with relationships w/in their sexual orientation. I've never had a romantic relationship, so I cannot relate to the feeling of wishing to maintain a platonic relationship with a past romantic partner, let alone feeling the need to discuss such a matter with my current romantic partner. But I can understand this from someone else's POV, given when I hear them talk about what it is that they value while spending time with this other person.

Illicit Mind

Seems like a lot of entitlement in this reunion

Tremaine

I agree. The "exes can't be friends" nonsense always depends on extreme hypothetical situations like Sheera offers to actually make sense. Roshi's objections are coming from a reasonable standpoint. If we're talking about reasonable people then this shouldn't even be an issue. If we're talking about unreasonable people then this topic isn't the issue, but something you yourself need to explore and work on. While I can agree that a lot of women hold this view. I also insist that this view only exists because the vast majority of men do not value relationships with women outside of romantic or sexual ones. Women know this and so they are immediately distrusting of any relationship their partner has with a woman. To that I say find a better partner if you think they as a person cannot find platonic value in a relationship with a person that they previously engaged with romantically. I also suggest that you look within yourself and ask why your partner needs to quantify relationship value. I shouldn't need to give you a reason for why I want to stay friends with someone. I am human and I value my friendships. Respectability politics should have nothing to do with it.

Thank you As others have said, she is a performer She was not impressed by Ben's lack of a performance in his run of the mill apology text

Illicit Mind

Nice comment. The main point I see is clarifying what exactly am I or my current romantic partner doing with this prior romantic partner of ours? Any relationship gets maintained through interactions. The topic here is similar to the whole "can opposing sexes be friends with one another" conversation. Just like from before, it should start with clarifying first what exactly are these people doing during their encounters. Rarely do I often read such clarifying remarks in these types of conversations. From my experience reading these discussions online the conversations usually starts and stops at key buzzwords like a title of a "friend" or "platonic relationship", which carry weight but not the whole luggage. Additional context is needed.

Illicit Mind

In my humble opinion, I think Sheera's arguments at the end of stream come from a place of toxicity. At the end of the day, I will never fix my mouth to justify my relationship with anyone to anyone else. If you can easily drop someone out of your life after an extensive romantic relationship, then that relationship was cooked anyways. It has nothing to do with respect, but about control. I've never understood why people think that it's crazy to be friends with an ex. Lets assume you both are mature individuals. Given that you've established boundaries, a friendship with someone shouldn't even be crossing them in the first place. If your romantic relationship with someone was so shallow that you'd just cut them off out of "respect" for someone else, then I would question wtf kind of foundation was built during that romantic relationship. And then the mere fact that I had a romantic relationship with someone doesn't mean that that's the only value I found in them. That's so demeaning. You can say all you want about you not trusting the other person. But you should be able to trust that your partner can make good judgments of character and that they'll cut it off if a line is crossed. Anything else is borderline controlling and insecure imo.

Virginia’s parents’ faces were hilarious when she said no. The dad looked like he saw Freddy Krueger clap somebody in front of him.

Malik

Nah they should just watch the latest season

Kencool

"My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined" I'm saving this for my next big dramatic declaration lmao 🤣 thanks Roshi

Dréa

Don’t watch then bud

Gav2Nice

W discussion

dom

economy is so bad I wouldnt be surprised if Roshi laid off lupa and y3ma to save a buck

Gary

Not entirely relevant to the ep, but heavy agree with Roshi in the end discussion (as a woman myself) - expectations and boundaries like that are something to be discussed early on, with forsureee different levels to things. You will never find me prioritizing a romantic relationship (particularly a new/potential one) over a long time friendship (having dated or not dated), and the only way I can really see that being reassessed more is if boundaries are clearly crossed in the sense that someone comes onto the other despite knowing they're with someone else, or tries to sabotage the relationship or something. Granted while I think trying to tell someone to just drop people (who haven't done anything wrong) is unreasonable, I don't think making it clear what you are and aren't comfortable with is. Could totally understand someone saying they may not want you hanging out alone with said person all the time and stuff like that. That's all just to say that I resent the idea that romantic relationships are automatically seen as the trump card or priority in so many situations, when I don't really think that should be the case, and can often just be a breeding ground for toxicity as well. Not strange at all to want to maintain a friendship for the sole sake of friendship and nothing else, especially if you consider circumstances where they could have just been friends long before dating and such also.

🔵why these girls care about communication with the guys after the show when they said "no" to marrying them on public TV, especially Virginia.....everybody at her wedding was so shook she did that and wasted their time 🔵Honestly don't get what the girl Joey was engaged to was saying about him not wanting to touch her. I was confused and didn't get those vibes at all. They were looked most compatible and lovey dovey so she has nothing to be embarrassed about 🔵Virginia.......was not expecting the claws to come out like that her aura seemed so different

Elle E.

Madison brought it back to Mapquest n printed out the wrong directions🤣 She is an episode of Cops waiting for a wedding ring to happen What’s her ig though, for a friend

John Fleming

Ngl I think Virginia is valid

Desi

They need to watch USA season 6 specially its so good.

Myla Mason

Fully agree with your final thoughts.

stu

Guys I love y'all but holy fuck the way Sheera be actually yelling/shouting and straight up RAGING during this show gets very annoying very quickly

QualityFreak

Ngl Joey doing that was so unexpected

Gobblinwholoveslogs

i don’t like madison bc she highkey crazy but I just know alex did whatever she said he did bc his facial expressions gave it away 😭.

Charmaine

Yall pleaseee watch love island while waiting for love is blind i feel like yall would love it

Arielle Lynn Latendresse

Wooo what a wack ass season. They need to never let whoever did this season cook again lmao

PetersThimble

Nigga I had never noticed Virginia’s head lean until y’all pointed it out🤣🤣😂😂😭😭 46:06

Delinda Arts

Sara is fucking annoying as shit bro.

Aaron Posey

Def agree on the Devin v Virginia thing, mostly because I remember the crowd’s reaction at their wedding and the sadness and disappointment was REAL. Even Virginia’s own dad said to Devin that he was a good guy and apologizing to him. She just wasn’t attracted to him, thought he had some potential but ultimately decided it wasn’t enough. But didn’t want to look like the bad guy or super shallow and get destroyed online and so dragged it out until she absolutely couldn’t anymore.

TJ Fleming-Robinson

I havent watched a single episode he just looks like lestat

man why they got my boy lestat in this show

Dude's whole personality can be boiled down to basketball and God. That's all he ever really spoke about. Virginia had to bring up stuff like finances. And we saw him navigate away from any serious conversation they could possibly have. He couldn't even actually acknowledge his anime tattoos properly.

George

Yeah the only part that I have a problem with Sara and Virginia was that they should've cut it off sooner. Everybody could see clear as day how their politics aligned. And frankly, I'm glad that Devin got aired out. If that's what they believe, then people deserve to know. If you're proud of your beliefs, you shouldn't really care whether people don't want to associate with you or not. Frankly, I don't give a fuck about canceling conservatives considering the fact that you can be openly racist, sexist, and homophobic and still have a platform. I'm sure Devin will still sleep at night, not caring about how his beliefs affect people. His preferred party is literally running the US right now. That being said, I agree with them that the women shouldn't have went back to those guys. But people go back to their shitty exes all of the time so I can't be too surprised that they folded immediately after the wedding. I will also agree with them that Sara has always come off as performative imo.

George

Aaron Posey

This season super sucked. I need them to turn up on the editing next time. Glad that I clocked Devin correctly though. I saw and understood what was going on with him from the pod episodes. Shoutout to the other people in this comment section that were saying the same things. I don't really care that his political beliefs got aired out just because Virginia said hers. If he believes it, he should stand on it. People should know what they're dealing with when it comes to others. When it comes to our state of the world, knowing where someone stands is of upmost importance. If he gets blasted online, well tough shit. He was getting cooked by some people anyway before Virginia spoke up because people could see right through him. He'll still sleep well at night. Virginia should not have went back to him though and should've cut him off completely. Ben and Sara were guaranteed to break up from the pods so I'm not surprised. I did assume that Joey and Monica were going to make it but turns out that Joey had some hidden stuff about him. Tragic. Monica's jealous sister got proven right on her read of Joey. Sucky lineup of contestants, especially from the dudes. Good for Daniel and Taylor though. They are living their best Christmas lives after that whole Instagram drama. Side note: Madison thought she really did something at the reunion lmao.

George

She’s a hashtag activist.

Aaron Posey

It’s always the “I’m your ally” types you gotta worry about

SoClose

2:42 why is this beat just so good I was dancing and about to start writing lyrics this is why I skip this part omg

Bona Fide

I deadass agree with everything you said in the description. Sara annoying as fuck with the surface level, hash tag activism.

Aaron Posey

Did they really not address the shit that came out about Alex in any way? The dude is sick in the head unlike anyone else on this show before. Whoever is in charge of background checks sucks at their job. (I'm beginning to think there weren't any done in the first place...)

John Cedar

Sara claiming the message was not genuine because it was robotic and took what she wants to hear is crazy. Sometimes when people think about what to say it sounds like that but does not make it true

Taylor M

Gonna miss my dose of “Yeah, Mm, mhm, Yeah”

PJ Rivera

Like Sara take the cape off, nobody asked you for that weak ass performative ally ship. Be who you areeeeeeee!!!!

Eliana

Fuck how Sara feels my boy Ben did not deserve that

ZO

im sure she said he said that in person but her screenshot proves he was being fake … why even bring up Mason and Meg to Madison ? 😭 We literally see this when he’s pretending to be buddy buddy with Mason knowing Madison was about to end it with him. Anyways, he’s a weirdo so I don’t trust anything he says.

Barbara Mcfadden

Madison said that ole boy said Fuck mason. She pulled out the whole printed screenshots and nowhere did it say anything of the sort. She does it all for attention and the spotlight. As for everyone else, trash

Gimme Dem Ankles

bro i was starting to scratch my neck. watching yall reaction to this is my new drug

Chris

FINALLY

halsa

My girl and I were watching this thinking how lame this season was compared to the past ones. Not really enough drama and I couldn't connect with any of the cast. Even the drama they tried to force in the reunion felt fake.

Devin B

- me being the only Madison supporter … don’t understand the “manipulative” allegations when Meg herself said she never felt reassurance from Mason throughout their conversations .. if he really wanted her then he should of been relieved Madison had a better connection considering he said he felt guilty from forming multiple connections 🧍🏾‍♀️ - i honestly didn’t mind sara bringing up politics and i understood what she meant by wanting him to be more engaging. You can say “i agree” all you want but she clearly wanted more considering she actually took the time to do research and attend his church. Ben just literally had no thoughts lol. But yeah idk why she continued trying to work with him. - don’t really care that Virginia aired out Devin’s political stance .. stand on it if you truly believe lol he might get cancelled online but im not sure how well that translates to the real world unless he’s actively participating in hate .. but again if she was so against his stance she definitely should of cut it off sooner - sad that Joey was a loser

Barbara Mcfadden

I guess it's good to hear that it was a bad season cause it's the first time I've watched and only got into it after the first react you guys did. Whole time was thinking I just didnt get the show somehow haha

hokeypokey

Can you rapid fire the remaining Succession episodes?

LionBro

Ms Girl fake left him at the altar only to still take him back at the end of the day, performative as fuck

Nico
