Love is Blind season 4, ready for the gold glasses of doom

[jay55]

Starts tomorrow. There is a very spoilery trailer up now.

I can't wait. Even if they're all awful.

I think they have all signed a contract where they promise not to answer any question immediately.
Person A: "want a cup of tea?"
Person B (normal life) "yes please" / "no thank you"
Person B (Love Is Blind)" [long pause] A, I love you for your spirit, your character and who you are. When we were in the pods, I could hear the beauty of the universe in your voice, and I knew you would always cherish me, make me my best self, inspire me, and make me whole. But - do I want a cup of tea? achingly long pause] I would be lying if I said .... no, I don't want a cup of tea. A, please with all your heart, give me a cup of tea"

😂😂😂

That's hilariously spot on @trytopullyoursocksup 😂

Ahhh yes that makes perfect sense!!! Thanks! Been wondering that all season!

@trytopullyoursocksup nailed it 😂

I'm not expecting any major shocks in the reunion show, but of course I'll be watching it at my earliest opportunity 😁

Admit to watching Tiffany & Brett say yes thrice. After the last 3 years of global f<#%ery I'm tired and jaded, and if they'd said no, I mean, stick a fork in it, I'd be done. So I cheered. Out loud. I embarrassed myself with my own glee.

And Brett can be mad at those pants all day. Loved the Slavic seamstress superhero side bar storyline. He's a high end designer, of course he'd be unable to settle for shitty badly made trousers on his wedding day that didn't even fit him. Seriously Netflix, you can't budget for decent wedding day wardrobe that fits? See Chelsea's dress-up with massive chest gape, poor chick. Compared to that, Bliss's dress was gorgeous!

Surprised but delighted by both Chwame and Zliss. Unhappy with the spoiler person on this thread who, well ahead of the wedding ep airing to Netflix told us "3 couples marry!!" Argh. Thanks, spoiler queen :(

So once Paul shafted the utterly horrible and vacuous Micah at the alter (thank god) I knew the others would all say yes. I'm really happy for Chelsea and Bliss - both differently solid chicks who deserve happiness.

I actually think they'll all still be together tomorrow at the reunion because it's just too soon to split (Chwame might eventually; but not yet, the other two I think will make it) and they've been living in a weird reality TV limbo land since filming wrapped waiting for the "reveal", actual real life prob hasn't even hit yet. Note it took another almost year for S2s couples to both split post reunion.

Interested to see whether the new live format for the reunion will add or take away. Can't bear the Lacheys, pretty sure I'll be shouting at them throughout. They never ask the Qs we all want answering. They need an Andy Cohen.

Asking themselves questions, to answer them immediately: “Am I wondering if I made the right choice? Yeah, yeah I am wondering that right now”

when people are interviewed for TV, they are sometimes asked to include the question in their answer as it makes editing easier if you’re not going to include the person asking the question.

I'm still shocked Kwame said yes. Does he need to be married by a certain date to get Brewster's millions?

Micah needs a new start somewhere and find new friends. Someone with such lovely supportive parents really doesn't need to be a mean girl. And no one needs to be surrounded by mean girls who sabotage everything good.
I'll bet that bitchy bestie ends up on a reality show herself.

Love Brett and Tiff, but maybe love Brett and Marshall's friendship more.

Have people seen Zach now? Massive beard.

I realised that after I had posted. I think this is an example of how the way the production team egg the cast on, and how it all gets edited, makes them look like the most self centred, egotistical babies but actually they may be more balanced in real life - but they are encouraged to produce and package all this whiny navel gazing for TV and it makes us think that that is who they are.

Irina and Shelby were so similar in the way they laughed at another woman's pain. Why does Micah befriend such people?!

That's a good point, purple. It's like Micah went to Irina to replicate her horrible friend / horrible primary relationship in the real world.
It's interesting how the families and friends all, obviously, hate and are unsettled by the situation initially and respond to it in different ways. Some fundamentally trust their kids / siblings / friends and just make their peace with it. Some just can't accept it. I wonder if you could do a study on which couples make it, and align it with characteristics of their families. I have a hunch that the ones who make it come from families who express their unease at first and then offer full support (and are themselves a secure, functional family with calm relationships). Like Amber and Barnett - they are still together - he comes from a close loving family, his brother made a serious effort to talk him out of it (from memory, certainly interrogated the decision hard) and in the end they all just went with it and supported it. I can't remember anything about Amber's family.

The fact that Shelby thinks no one can be good enough for Micah, and is bitchily open about it, is like a narc controlling mother. Her actual family seemed lovely

Isn’t it interesting though that everyone always puts Lauren and Cameron on a pedestal for the proof that the experiment can work yet ignore the fact that Amber and Barnett are still together happily…

Do you think people like the interracial aspect of Lauren and Cameron? I always found them boring. I had to look them up to remind myself who they were when they were mentioned on this thread.

Oh another weird thing about "Love is blind' language - they are always saying they have found "their person". What a strange expression! It seems like such a weird impersonal way of saying it, it is such an empty word - I would refer to someone I had never seen before as "the person by the letterbox" or something. I would say I had found my man, my soulmate, my partner, my lover... my "person"? that's so weird

Reunion not there yet!! Annoying!

I think this would be more interesting than others as it's 1 year later not 6 weeks as this season was filmed at same time as last years show.

Barnett came over a lot more mature on socials right after the show. And then became a prop for Amber and it was so painful I unfollowed.

I'm not surprised they're still together, they will be until she trades up. I do wonder what his family think now.

Cameron and Lauren I find a little odd at times. But I think probably as I find all influencers a bit odd. It always felt a little more business match than love match to me. But I can understand they probably hold that part back.

I started to really loathe Chelsea as series 4 went along. I started off liking her, perhaps influenced by her job title which looked like she was a serious person, and also by her relatively calm and mature behaviour around the other women when living together. But the more I saw of her shacked up with Kwame the more demented and annoying I found her. I think it's to do with that line between "having boundaries and expressing them assertively" (which served her well in the pods) and "being nitpicky and demanding and egotistical" (I thought Kwame was going to say no because her life with him had to be All About Her - big picture, little picture, all of it, all about her). I know some women a bit like that in real life - on a sort of entirely justified and conscious rebound from the demands of patriarchy, which traditionally socialise women to always be agreeable and put their needs and wants last, but combined with a traditional desire for a traditional and very close relationship - without realising that the two demands together are a huge ask of someone else.

Oh right and I remember why I came to mn to talk about this - it's because of the way she was implying to Kwame that they could go travelling and do anything they wanted while having babies. And he was like "um, some things are going to change after children" and she was like "I WANT BABIES AND I WANT YOU AND I WILL SAY ANYTHING ANYTHING AT ALL HOWEVER UNREALISTIC TO GET WHAT I WANT". I wanted to hear the MN voice on that conversation

Oh yes, like when the hairdresser was curling Chelsea's hair for the wedding and you could see it jumping backwards and forwards in its curled-ness as they edited bits together differently from the order she'd said them.

Agreed. Amber's social media is a bit gruesome now. He just plays like an accessory in the Amber show.
I feel sorry for him

Jessica, in the other hand, seems to have successfully moved on and made a happy life for herself, whilst Barnet/Amber (it's his social, but reads more like her style) are still making snide remarks about Jessica and her new husband. Like - move on already.

Can you tell I've been off work sick for ages now? I've gotten so bored I've started reading about reality TV as well as watching it!

Oh yes, and the reason I came in MN in the first place - I thought the latest episode was being aired at 1am this morning to fit with US Sunday night TV, but now it seems to be airing at 8pm tonight UK time.

Cross! Been looking forward to watching that.

@trytopullyoursocksup Kwame came over the most mature he had all season in that baby convo.
He was being so honest, he wants to get a bunch of stuff in before babies. Chelsea clearly feels the clock ticking and will say anything to get knocked up.

Kwame and Micah would have worked a whole lot better timing wise.

Haven't watched the reunion yet but there's lots of shade on Twitter for Vanessa giving Marshall a bit of hard time and completely ignoring Jackie's behaviour!

I always look forward to the reunion but it's usually disappointing. Nick and Vanessa are awful presenters. I dislike how they're always referring to their own personal experience; the show's not about you and noone cares 🤣

I was expecting it to be available to watch now, so that's annoying.

Who even are Nick and Vanessa? I only know them because of this. I also hate how snide they are about their exes. It's television. Stop slagging your previous partners off. Cheap shots.
