After the Alter - Love Is Blind

[Monestera]

The US is another planet isn't it?

Carlton seems very stuck in an angry space.

(I know I'm the only one watching).

Damien and Amber not coming across very well at all.

Really like Diamond, Lauren & Cameron and poor Gigi.

I can’t wait to watch this once DH is out and doesn’t see how cringe it is.

I follow Lauren on Instagram and she seems lovely- I’m delighted her and Cameron are still together.

Is Barnett still with the girl he ended up with? That seemed like a car crash waiting to happen…

Amber is horrendous. Very telling she is only friends with the male cast. Jessica said one thing 2 years ago - she needs to get a grip.

I reeeeaaaaally wanted Gigi to up and leave when Francesca walked in. She does not have to fight for him.

What was that all about? I don't know why either woman tolerated the situation.

(This whole programme is very cringe).

Ah glad you started this thread, was thinking of starting one.

What was Damien playing at taking francesca? I can't understand how he thought it could ever end well.

Amber is horrible. I was surprised at how Barnett reacted to jess.

I know, he's like dead behind the eyes. What was he thinking? But also, what was Francesca thinking going? I reckon the only way Damien and Gigi can connect is over anger.

Barnett's reaction to Jess was odd/worrying.

The stuff with Francesca was such a fake set up by the producers, I think she has a reality show on the same channel so they trying to push a storyline. At one point they panned the room and there were so many camera men and production people in the room that any sensible person would leave to save being embarrassed on TV, so who knows what they were promised for being there.
Most of them came off badly except Lauren, Cameron, Diamond and Kenny. The rest you would run away from very quickly.

Not sure what you mean by “US is another planet” when the UK has shows like Love Island & Ex on the Beach etc.

But I agree Love is Blind is mental. Feel sorry for GiGi but surprised they made it 2yrs anyway with how she speaks down to him all the time. Carlton will probably be embarrassed rewatching his convo with Lauren. Barnett chose his wife’s feelings over a girl’s feelings who he hasn’t seen in 2yrs & probably won’t see again. Super awkward & Amber didn’t come across well, but think Barnett made the right call in keeping the peace with the person he is married to & has to live with. & he must be a much nicer guy than he came across as in the series if he’s sold his home to pay off Amber’s debts & wants to be more financially stable before starting a family. The video was sweet too, well done Barnett. Cameron & Lauren are lovely, very happy for them! & hope diamond finds someone who will treat her well!

Yes! I mean, poor Jessica. She's a glutton for punishment. I feel for her if there's nobody in her life to say, "Just don't".

This is why I am sceptical of production interference, I am pretty sure they gave Jessica those wine glasses to give to Barnett. I don't think she brought them at all.

I like Diamond, Lauren, Gigi and Cameron. Kenny seems decent enough. Barnett is waiting to turn into his dad, Amber is vile. I also like Francesca - she was wrong to show up, but was misled by Damien. Jessica seems so vulnerable - I just want her to be able to move on. Amber is nasty, untrustworthy, not a woman’s woman at all. Horrible. Deserves useless Barnett.

However, as much as I dislike Barnett, I feel sorry for him, being trapped by someone as mean spirited and selfish as Amber. She’s hard as nails and will trample over anyone to get what she wants.

The way Amber was sticking up for Marc for cheating on LC because “they’d never put a label on it” even though LC insisted they’d discussed being exclusive too. So busy sucking up to a man that she couldn’t even let the other two finish a sentence. Didn’t like her in the post. Don’t like her now.

It definitely is cringeworthy, but oddly compelling. I’ll probably watch the next series.

Amber is nasty, untrustworthy, not a woman’s woman at all. Horrible.

But she is married!

Damien and Gigi are soooo strange. He’s like a manbot and she’s this caricature of a feisty Italian woman and they don’t communicate at all other than to argue with each other. But clearly fancy the pants off each other.

Lauren and Cameron are cringe and Lauren is so extra with her purple train. But they seem to have a nice relationship, I still follow them on insta and seem pretty solid.

I think Amber and Barnett are solid as well but agree with the assessment that she probably isn’t a nice person.

Jessica is obviously still very fragile. Carlton remains in the closet and a really awful person. And diamond is all up in peoples business but ultimately kind. And LC seems like a bit of a disaster zone.

Most of them came off badly except Lauren, Cameron, Diamond and Kenny.

I read a review of these reunion episodes that said that Kenny always seemed too sensible for love is blind, and I think that’s true. He was my fave.

I think that was why they hardly showed Kenny in the reunion episode, he doesn't give them toxic drama!

Just finished… what a shitshow 😂
Amber is vile, and clearly incredibly controlling, I hated watching barnetts reaction when Jessica spoke to him and he knew he wasn’t allowed to talk to her at all. So uncomfortable and unhealthy.
And he seems so unhappy about going from having his own home to living in a shared apartment all because he cleared her debts.
Also, the fact Amber was sticking up for sleazy mark said nothing about her relationship with mark and everything about her jealous, bitchy character given LC was in the running (so to speak) for Barnett way back at the start.
Jessica, I have to admit, confused me a little. She’s actually barely in a better place than she was before and I’m sure (correct me if I’m wrong) she said in interviews after love is blind that she recognised that she was an alcoholic and sought help for that… she was drinking in the show so that’s not ideal. Yes

Damien is… bizarre. And Gigi is an idiot. And Francesca is desperate for air time. She wouldn’t have looked twice at cringey, wooden Damien if it weren’t for a minute if screen time on this show.

Carlton is still utterly vile. Diamond was fairly brash but I think she meant well for the most part. Kenny was as boring and nice as ever. Lauren and Cameron were cringey as fuck but hey, if they’re happy, they’re happy 🤷🏼‍♀️

I forgot all about Kenny.

Watching this from between my fingers, too cringe 🤣🤣🤣
Damian is a dick, Amber is awful. Hoping things go well with Diamond's date, she is hardly spending time with him.

I fail to believe that someone beautiful and smart like Gigi couldn't find a better guy or any guy other than Damian in the last two years.

I think Amber was just guarded around the other cast members. She and Barnett clearly adore each other and on their Instagram seem really happy. Francesca, WTF? She was a shut show on Too Hot to handle and is still a nightmare. She was all over Instagram completely in love with her girlfriend then all over her ex from the show Harry again. Jeez woman make up your mind

I think Amber was just guarded around the other cast members.

Do you really think that "guarded" explains her weird behaviour with LC?
