Love is Blind - Netflix

[bugbhaer]

Anyone? I’m ten minutes in and not sure.

I think that I wish this was set in Britain.

That's definitely Gigi running away. I think creepy Dame will pull out because of his parent's disapproval.
I don't know about A&B, she posted up a photo on her insta recently about her roommate being ex navy and her being ex army....

Cameron and Lauren are 100% still together, I recognise his house from her photos, and someone on twitter posted photos of Camerons Christmas tree and there was two stockings underneath with Cameron and Lauren stitched in them.

@TitsInAbsentia they’re not real

Damian and Gigi no longer follow each other on insta either so I think that says it all as most of the others still follow each other.

Jessica’s insta says she posts from LA whereas Marks say Atlanta 🤷‍♀️

I really hope that Barnett didn't go through with it.

Gigi and Damien are such an off couple.

I think I must be the only one who quite likes Jessica!

I like sober Jessica

I’m on episode 3. I can’t believe Barnett has chosen Amber. I really liked Damian and Giannina but having just read the above post sounds like they don’t work out.

I’ve just seen Carlton and diamonds first encounter on holiday. Wow. He’s like a different person. why on earth didn’t he tell her straight up in the pod? He’s horrible.

Carlton is 100% a gay man who can not face up to that reality. It’s really uncomfortable to watch.

or he wanted a baby and hoped to make some money doing this, get a baby, then head off to his behind-the-scenes partner.

@TitsInAbsentia 100% this! Fin's dad mark 2. How does genetics work again?

I just love the terrified behind the eyes stare that Barnett is cultivating! It's a fucking joy to behold.

As for Carlton - how quickly did he switch from "poor me, I'm so afraid of being judged... I've been judged all my life" to "nobody judges me! Bitch, fix your wig" - the pathetic, tired trope.

I may have stalked his twitter a bit (unlocked) and he stands firm in saying she is homophobic!!!!!!!

I just love the terrified behind the eyes stare that Barnett is cultivating! It's a fucking joy to behold.

Yes. We’re not in the pods anymore!

@TitsInAbsentia yup fins dad mark 1

Carlton is 100% gay. We can all see it. He knows it, that's why it was such a big thing to him and why he was so keen to tell her. Basically "will you marry me, oh btw I'm gay"

Very strange, guess he can't admit it because if his parents. Didn't he say his dad is a pastor?

I’m only on the third episode so haven’t rtft as don’t want to read any spoilers.
Jessica is really annoying me, constantly going on about her age. Mark seems really nice and he shouldn’t have been second best.
I think the show should have showed more of the other contestants as so far the show seems to be mainly focused around Cameron, mark, barnett, amber, diamond, Jessica and the first couple that got engaged but I can’t remember their names!

I noticed that whenever Barnett and Amber have a conversation about money/debt - we see what Amber says but then the scene always cuts before we hear Barnett's response. So we don't really know what his take on Amber's student debt/unemployed situation is, meaning we don't know what they've agreed. Again, we didn't see his response to the wedding dress needing $850 alterations.

A bit frustrating!

Carlton's argument was ridiculous:

Diamond: Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Carlton: It puts people off, they always have a problem with it
Diamond: [has problem with it]
Carlton: Nobody else has ever had a problem with it!!!

I've found my people!!

I disagree that Gigi is craycray. I think she's firefy AF but she's only acting crazy because Damian has been gaslighting her like a motherfuck. Every issue she tries to talk to him about, he turns it into a problem he has with her. She actually listens to him (in between shouting) and takes his feedback on board and he's there blaming everything on her 'self sabotaging' etc etc. She tells him she doesn't like X behaviour and within five minutes she's apologising to him for X behaviour. It's CREEPY, it makes me cringe watching it. I can't believe the TV show lets someone get abused on air like that.

MAN I hope that's her running away because marrying him would be horrendous.

Oh Mark.. wake up honey. Jessica needed to have walked away a long time ago! Barnett seems afraid of Amber (who is WILD!). He should have chosen LC!

I'm rooting for Lauren and Cameron, he's very intense but I rather like him so far.

Carlton was HORRENDOUS to poor Diamond. I cringed the whole way through that :( They could have worked it out if he'd kept his cool and spoken like an adult. She in no way deserved that kind of aggression.

Interesting, I would say I have a good radar for gaslighting but that isn't what I see with GG and Damian at all.

It's like a brick wall to the face for me it's so obvious. My DH walked past the tv during one of their scenes and immediately commented on the gaslighting as well so I was really surprised to not see more talk about Damian's behaviour.

@partygamer I agree. I don't think he's gaslighting her.

How it is not gaslighting? Nothing is ever his fault, he never once apologises even when he's behaved like an absolute turd. Every issue she has with him and tries to talk out with him turns into an issue he has with her that she needs to apologise for and do better with. The issue with him never gets addressed.

He love bombs her when it looks like she might leave - with expensive gifts and wild gestures. He uses her most vulnerable confession (the self-destruction) and uses it to blame her for everything that she doesn't like or every moment that isn't perfect. And when she's starting to doubt him, he cries and asks for her emotional support. It's agony to watch.

This was the thread I found on reddit which encapsulates why I'm so discomforted by Damian perfectly. Have a read, rewatch the scenes and see if it doesn't resonate in a more sinister fashion?

@ItIsWhatItIsInnit that's exactly what I was saying mainly to myself & a bit shouting at the telly

I'll be honest, going on a tv show like that really marks them as weird / broken / damaged a bit strange desperate but I cannot wait for tomorrow!!

For me, GG will take the slightest comment and turn it into a row or something to accuse Damian of. She won't let things drop and continues to harangue him, even when she's made her point. I couldn't believe it when he was trying to have an important discussion and the restaurant and she picked up her phone and started scrolling through it! And yet she had the audacity to tell him off when he was simply turning off the music? I think she's a nightmare - constantly looking for faults and picking on him for invented reasons!

Also can we talk about Jess feeding her dog wine please?!?

Just read the Reddit thread - seems I agree with all the posters in response to the OP who are saying it's GG who seems to be the abusive one... ah well!
