I just finished the second set of Love is Blind episodes. It truly is the ideal background for me while I am working because I can just listen for keywords and tune out the dramatic glances and music.
Once again, if you are looking for no spoilers, stop reading now.
Quick Thoughts
These are the thoughts I had throughout the episodes. They are in no particular order.
For once their apartments are really cute.
I mean the ones they’re living in together. They didn’t seem like massive apartment complexes with zero soul.
Marshall calling Jackie a project is a serious problem to me.
I understand the idea of knowing that you and another person will be working together to figure out how to be in a healthy relationship… but for it to be a project means that you are working on them. It takes away their personhood… and makes you in charge with no accountability for your work that needs to be done. A couple grows together, and then supports the other when needed. One person does not work on another person. Just no.
Kwame is just not ready to actually be in an adult relationship.
The Micah of it all doesn’t matter to me anymore. Yes, he was talking to her again in a way that was precisely what Chelsea asked him to not do before. This was simply the nail in the coffin, I knew they weren’t going to make it earlier. I wanted to believe that he could get there, but the minute he seemed to be frustrated she wouldn’t move to Portland, so he could play recreational soccer with his friends 4 times a week, it was obvious.
Bliss said… yeah.
I am a bit baffled. I know I am not alone, but her response to Zack’s proposal is what I can’t get over. Sure, she accepted his apology and was willing to try again after he picked that monster for… what sounds like no good reason, but her response was a bored sounding yeah. I just went back and watched it again to make sure I didn’t mis-remember, and I didn’t. Again, I try not to judge, but I am just so confused. I’m confused because it appears like he does really love her, and she’s along for the ride. It is possible that she is just holding back because she was hurt before, but I do not get that she cares for him.
Irina is a monster, duh.
I don’t actually know what else to say here. I actually think Bliss summed it up well that she hopes for her to live a happy life and get better… just nowhere near me or anyone I love.
I kinda think Micah’s friend may be in love with her.
This could be super problematic in some ways, but I truly don’t know how else to say it. There was something so off and confusing about their interaction, especially when she was saying all of these things about what Micah deserves. These are things friends say… but the way she was saying them screamed—that person is me. Or, maybe there is a person who was that for Micah who she isn’t with anymore? I don’t know there was something deeper happening there, and I just need them to figure it out. Furthermore, if my husband said the thing Paul did about not being bothered by her liking him, I would entirely understand it… and not be upset at him for her… emotions?
Who Will Make it
- Brett and Tiffany. Again, they are the solid yes couple of the season. Also, her friends are so nice, and it points out that she is a rational person who found another rational person in a very irrational way.
- Zack and Bliss. Look, I don’t like it, but, I think it’s going to happen. I think when you screw up so badly once, you won’t let it happen again.
Who Won’t
- Chelsea and Kwame. You don’t see either on a wedding day, so I don’t think they make it that far. In the end, she is way too mature for him and needs someone on her level.
- Micah and Paul. No… just… no. They keep saying how much they like each other, but you don’t actually see or feel it in any way. Also, someone is going to have to explain the Arizona of it all because I do not understand.
- Marshall and Jackie. Weirdly, both of them deserve better. I don’t know how else to say it.
