Love Is Blind USA S8 (Netflix Pace)

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Returns tomorrow.

Hoping to see usual posters but I know many people have gone off the series now due to too many would be influencers and trying to be TV stars.

Netflix Pace simply means that if it's been released on Netflix then talk about it, but if it's a spoiler from social media please don't post on here - thanks !

Did not like Dave at all.

Devin is cute and I liked the woman he picked.

I am struggling to remember the other names!

Arrrrgh I didn't realise it had started. I saw new episodes on the 21st so thought it was starting then, then saw some TikTok's that spoiled a few things and saw there were a bunch of episodes.

Manically catching up before reading comments.

Wondered where you were!

I'm starting....

I'm finding the men so wet. The women seem to be treating them like toddlers to reassure them over every little thing.
"Wow you're so good at breathing well done"

I think Alex made a wise move. Madison seems pretty complex, I don't think she would have made for an easy or fun relationship. Also her whole thing of being an artist - I was curious to see her work, I couldn't find any. I really don't think that is her main job.

I wish Meg and Mason had ended up together, I did like him.

Dave is awful, the constant negging, and he is really nothing special.

I really like Joey and his match.

Christmas tree man...I guess that ends up in the bin.

They probably spent so much time on the pod episodes as a lot of drama happened there that didn't eventuate into any couples. Though I guess may do later when they have the real life meet up.

Who did Joey match with? Is he the guy with longhair?

I hope we find out if the Christmas guy really doesn't d know her or not!

Joey matched with the smiley dark hair lass. He was the guy with the long hair who said he'd been compared to a golden retriever.

I couldn't work out if the instagram thing was her get out plan if she didn't fancy the guy. Clearly his height was an issue. And she planted the seeds asking about if he followed her in the pods.

She basically described a generic Xmas picture anyone who likes (or even doesn't like) Christmas might have.
But equally him saying I have this picture and that picture, I mean who fucking remembers all their pictures on socials.
And who remembers what some random request looks like, unless it's a particularly unique picture.

Well last season I complained the pods were too short. I'll not be doing that again.

Ah crap I'm spoilered already by a few comments in. Think I need to not read until I've watched all 6.

I actually have found it easier this time to identify the people. I didn't watch the end of the last season which was very unlike me. So we will see how this goes. I hate the drip feed off episodes. It's so stupid.

The instagram thing was all very odd. I think she was aware that he followed her, but decided not to use that info until that point as she wasn't keen on the match. Why else would it have come up in the pods already, something must have been said for it to be quite a suspicion.

His response was just a bit muted if he really didn't follow her, lamely describing a few photos. If I was in that position I'd be robustly saying that I absolute hadn't.

I have just finished watching the 6 eps but did fast forward a bit. I agree with others in the past I wanted more pods but now we have it, I found it a bit too much.

I really liked Meg and do understand why you broke things off. I think that it is because of the format of the show - to get engaged to someone who the same day was contemplating marrying someone else...I certainly can't imagine that. Dating possibly but not engaged.

@Dunkou agree about the Instagram thing - if he hadn't followed her then why wasn't he more direct. But also if he had followed her,I understand why he would not have said something in the pods. I also found their relationship a bit weird, so many things founded on 'coincidences'. Loads of people (including me) love Christmas. I would not like it as a sign if I met a guy who liked Christmas.

This group are so odd, most of the cast are so homogeneous and forgettable. Mostly white cast? Also Ben's take on politics - tell me you're a privileged white man by saying you don't vote and aren't interested in American politics! Says a lot about him and also says a lot about her allyship to put aside all those values so quickly?

@MrsJamin

I watch a Black YouTuber who comments on Love Is Blind and he said the lack of Black contestants is reflective of the overall population where they are filming this series and that he THINKS forthcoming series in the works will be more diverse due to cited locations.

When he said he had no opinion on Black Lives Matter I was agog.

I was surprised Sara (Sarah?) went forward with him after he said he had no interest in politics and hadn't paid any attention to the black lives matter issue....surely no matter where you are/were in the USA that had to have had some impact? Perhaps she feels someone with no opinions is easier to deal with than someone who has opposing opinions!

I think he was conscious it was being televised and nervous he would say something controversial or that would end the relationship or see himself cancelled

No one who knows about it just has "no opinion" they've got an opinion they are scared to share.

That's just my 2p!

Agree!

They all seemed very reluctant to say who they were dating which I don't remember happening in the past.
The whole Dave thing was odd he was clearly making both of them think they were the special one but neither of them confronted him.

Reporting for duty! 🫡

Watching episode 1. The man who was ugly in school and the girl with all the problems are gonna be a dumpster fire.

Last season was without a doubt the worst. In still furious at fake woke whatshisface who dumped gorgeous out of his league wonderful Marissa, after he had dubious opinions about condom use.

I want to know more about the doctor’s dissertation about racial inequality in the healthcare system!

See I think nothing can beat season 1. Amber and Barnett are having a baby!

I’m only on episode 1 but I’m guessing this is in response to too much out of pod time which has made previous seasons VERY dull and samey
