Netflix’s hit reality dating series Love Is Blind is back for its fourth season, and as expected, it has already captured the attention of audiences with its unique concept. In the first five episodes, five couples have gotten engaged to each other without ever seeing each other face to face.
Tiffany and Brett were one of the first couples to get engaged in the pods. Despite a small hiccup where Brett fell asleep during their conversation, they left the pods seeming stable and drama-free. However, it remains to be seen if their relationship can withstand the challenges that lie ahead.
Kwame and Chelsea’s journey was a bit rockier. After being dumped by Micah, Kwame shifted his focus to Chelsea and ultimately proposed to her. But during their time in Mexico, it was clear that Kwame still had unresolved feelings for Micah. When Micah joked about their “failed proposal,” Kwame was visibly upset. To make matters worse, Micah’s apology turned into a flirtatious conversation with a lot of unnecessary physical touch, which Chelsea watched from afar. It remains to be seen if Kwame can let go of his feelings for Micah and if Chelsea can tolerate feeling like she’s the second choice.
Kwame, 33, and Chelsea, 31, seemed to have hit it off after Kwame was dumped by his first choice Micah, 27, in the pods. However, Kwame’s unresolved feelings for Micah became apparent during a pool party in Mexico when she made a joke about their “failed proposal.” Chelsea watched from afar as Micah’s apology turned into a flirtatious conversation with Kwame, leaving her feeling like the second choice. Will Kwame let go of his feelings for Micah, or will Chelsea reach her limit?
Speaking of Micah, she fell for Kwame first in the pods but ultimately chose to pursue a “slow burn” love story with Paul, 29, and got engaged. However, Micah’s behavior at the pool party with Kwame made it clear that she still had feelings for him. Will Micah’s slow burn with Paul turn into marriage, or will she change her mind and go back to Kwame?
Meanwhile, Jackie, 27, had to choose between two men in the pods and ultimately got engaged to Marshall, 27. However, their Mexican vacation was far from paradise when Jackie had an emotional meltdown about her family not being perfect and expressed her fear of losing Marshall. While the details of their struggle remain vague, can they work things out when they return home to Seattle?
Reality TV show “Love is Blind” made headlines once again as the last couple to get engaged in the pods, Irina and Zack, ended their relationship in a disastrous way. The finale episode of the show revealed that Zack chose Irina over Bliss, which caused tension and mean girl behavior in the women’s living quarters. Irina mocked Bliss for baking cupcakes for Zack’s birthday but then asked Bliss for some of the candles she had gotten for Zack’s birthday surprise.
Despite Zack proposing to Irina, their relationship quickly went downhill after they met in person. Irina admitted to Zack’s face that she was not attracted to him, calling him “creepy” and comparing him to a cartoon character that needs to “blink more.” Their relationship deteriorated further during their vacation in Mexico as Irina avoided Zack both physically and emotionally.
On the last night of their vacation, they both agreed that their relationship was a complete disaster, and Irina even confessed to wanting to be with Paul, who was engaged to her best friend, Micah. Zack was horrified to see Irina’s true character come out and reached out to Bliss after he got back to Seattle to see if she would be interested in talking with him again.
Fans of the show expressed mixed reactions to the Irina and Zack’s tumultuous relationship, with some feeling bad for Zack while others thought that he got what he deserved for choosing Irina over Bliss. The show has once again proven to be a massive hit for Netflix, with viewers eagerly anticipating the next season.
