Love Is Blind UK S2 Wed 13th (Netflix pace)

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

The pods reopen on Wednesday

Wondering if the usual posters will join me again!

Netflix pace just means if an episode is available on Netflix it’s fair game to discuss but if you have spoilers from the internet or socials please don’t post them until the series ends

I was surprised as well - from his face I thought he looked really guilty and like he didn’t want to be there because he didn’t want to hurt her.

Agree

I dont even give it a year 😭

When do they film it? How long after the weddings is the reunion? Do we know?

Will see if I can find out xx

So many of these men are dinosaurs stuck in the 1950s. Kal and his family still banging on about Sarovar’s accent, how well spoken they are, how posh she is - like that’s her whole personality. I hope she calls it off because that man’s chip on the shoulder will take up all the space in a relationship.

Jed banging on about how his father would never let his mother pay, and how upset he is that Bardha wants to pay or doesn’t need to be looked after like she’s a child. Just date someone who believes in more traditional roles then!

And Billy making Ashleigh feel bad about her career, her eating habits, how she lives. OMG just pi55 off.

Don’t rate the compatibility of any of these couples except maybe Megan and Kieran though I suspect in the real world she’s much more assertive and independent than he’s used to.

Think it’s a year after the weddings.

A colleague of mine has a friend who dated Kieran. Nothing serious or anything, and she isn’t claiming to know him really well, but her verdict is that he was a very nice, decent man with no glaring red flags that she found. I think him and Megan are a nice couple.

I can understand Billy not wanting to marry someone who worked away all the time, especially if they want children. I know people manage it but I wouldn’t want to. I’d have drawn the line at his food control though!! Although I always wonder what is manufactured by the producers - I mean, they’d been away together, so I assume his food issues weren’t a problem then, as she seemed surprised in the supermarket. Does he relax on holidays, or is it not as big of a problem as it seemed in the supermarket. I certainly think that if he’d passed any kind of negative comment on what she ate on the holiday, it would absolutely have been in the show.

That’s nice to hear about Kieran - he certainly comes across as a hassle free man on the show and doesn’t try to change Meg’s personality.

The thing with Billy is he knew Ashleigh’s job and how a previous relationship changed because of it. He shouldn’t have proposed really instead of wasting her time and making her feel bad/insecure about it. His job is rough on a partner and children as well as he’ll be transferred frequently and have a trailing spouse who follows him around changing homes, job, friends, schools for children etc so you’d think he’d be more understanding.

The food thing - I reckon because on holiday they eat out he can order his own food to his own specifications and there’s no snacks etc lying around unlike at home. That’s why it wasn’t an issue. He’s weird about food because it’s not just the calorie control but also him questioning why she’d use onion in cooking and what purpose it serves!! Or saying he’d cook but it would be mince (no onions obvs) and brocolli. And you just know if he doesn’t use onions he isn’t using any condiments or salt or anything that isn’t adding value to his body - and taste doesn’t count. I’d hate to have a father like that (in case they have children) - hello eating disorder!

That’s true, flavour is the point of onions, Billy!

And I don’t think they’ll last! I think they may be a couple who can’t even bear to sit next to each other at the reunion!

I hope Bardha and Jed at least give it a go after the show. Even if they break up, it would be a shame if they never even try because I think she made a really sensible mature decision. It would have been easier for her to go “I love him, he loves me, let’s go!”, so I hope she doesn’t feel like she lost out for doing it. And she was so lovely to his parents as well.

I’ve taken advice on here and skipped Episode 9, in case I missed it in Episode 9, based on what I’ve already seen

Billy to his Dad : As long as there’s no cabin crew…

Billy : Will you marry me? I know full well you are cabin crew.

Billy : I can’t marry you because you’re cabin crew

Absolutely fucking ridiculous behaviour, bellendery!

Oh they did make it to the weddings!

Just the walking down the aisle of Jed and Bardha’s. All the other couples’ weddings are completely in episode 10.

@ShesTheAlbatrossAgreed on Bardha and Jed. She was so mature and kind about it and he took it well too. I loved her as the only woman who wasn’t just desperate to be married ignoring all red flags. I wonder if he’ll be able to get past what she did though given he’s got such a traditional view of masculinity. He may see this as evidence why he’s right in not wanting a strong woman who’s in charge of her own destiny.

Thanks @ShesTheAlbatross just watching Ashleigh and Billy now.

And I don’t think they’ll last! I think they may be a couple who can’t even bear to sit next to each other at the reunion!

Yes, I can totally see this !

I agree. DS came in whilst I was watching and said it would be more interesting, and more of a test as to whether love is blind or not, if they weren't all conventionally attractive.

Billy is a giant walking red flag.

I will also be interested to see if Kal and Sarover go the distance - I find them a mismatch

My Netflix isn’t showing a date for The Reunion, I assume we are getting one?

Oh and the gossip I had was that Spleen Man went into it with a very young baby at home which he neglected to mention!!

Sunday at 9pm

@ShesTheAlbatross I wonder why it isn’t showing on my account

It’s not on mine either, but I googled it. Not sure why it’s not there

Same. I was convinced that was going to go the other way and tbh I think it would have been sensible if it had gone the other way.

I think even she thought it would go the other way and I almost thought she was playing a game of chicken and presumed he would say no so she said yes to not be the "bad guy"...

Really surprised by Kal and Sarover but she seems so lovely and he looked so incredibly happy so I hope it lasts. And he won over her scary mum so he must have something we're not seeing 😂
