I finished watching the Reunion.
My thoughts:
Cameron and Lauren are adorable.
Damien and Gi are back together!?! That guy is a psycho!
Diamond and Carlton were too sweet. I'm glad that they are giving things another chance
Amber looks good as a blonde, but she's still pretty snarky
Jessica was glaring at Amber the whole time, and looked grumpy as beck
Mark is too sweet and definitely too good for Jessica
Kelly - Meh
Kenny seems to have moved on, good for him
Overall, fun times!

I'm going to disagree with you about Damien. I think he's a good guy. I think GIGI is very erratic and he was right to not go forward with the marriage at that time. She was a hot mess. She went back and forth between saying awful things to him (remember the sex talk?) and picking fights, and then being sweet and clingy. How could he NOT question her commitment? Any innocent comment could turn into a fight with her. It seems like they're in a better place how. I normally don't say this very often, but I think he got a bad edit. In the interviews I've seen with him and in the reunion, he seemed like a sweetheart. Interesting that he and Lauren were still dating in the pods until right before she and Cam got engaged. I can't see them together as a couple, but it looks like they formed a solid friendship. I was cheering on Amber, even though I'm not big on confrontation. I do give Jessica credit for owning up to all of her behavior. That's not easy.....and she had A LOT of bad behavior to own up to! The nickname she's been given on Reddit and other sites - "Messica" is appropriate. She should think about not ever drinking again. I read the Carlton/Diamond thing as they would work on a friendship. It sounded to me like she couldn't ever forgive him for how he spoke to her, so a romantic relationship wasn't ever going to happen. Also, he said some pretty crappy things about her on IG after the show was released, so I don't think she should forgive him. I don't think he's a bad person, but he needs to work on himself and stop lashing out at others when he's hurt.
Kelly knows she blew it with Kenny. If she wanted more time and for them to date before getting married, she could have said that at the altar or even gone to him after the fact so they could talk more. It's interesting that, in an interview this week, both Lauren and Cam said K&K were the couple they were least surprised about. Apparently, they had both expressed doubts ahead of the wedding.
Cam and Lauren have been everywhere this week. I love them, but I hope they don't get too taken in by this attention. The most successful couples from these shows generally just go back to their regular lives. Maybe they do IG or Twitter - maybe they do Couples Couch if they were on MAFS - but they mostly stick with the jobs and lives they had before they got on a TV show.
The biggest issue I have with this show is that they have to reveal their decision AT the altar. It feels cruel when one person is all in and they other isn't. Mark and Jessica's wedding was the worst. I'm sure Mark will land on his feet and she clearly learned a hard lesson.
Part of me wants a season 2, but part of me knows it will never be as good when the people going in know what they're signing up for.

Damien saw how Gigi really was.. maybe he likes the drama? *shrugs*
Glad Carlton and Diamond talked it out...very mature of them.
I hate Amber as a blonde..wish she would go back to being a brunette. Something tells me they will eventually get tired of each other...it's all lust and fun right now but they both seem kind of immature. I loved how Amber gave Jessica a piece of her mind!
Mark is still being the gentleman...not talking bad about Jessica. What a stand up guy!
LOVE Lauren and Cameron together...such a sweet and adorable couple!

I do give props to Jessica for taking the high road and apologizing for her behavior. She sure did drink a lot while filming....I think it gave her liquid courage in regards to Barnett

Watching the finale now. I could tell right away that Lauren and Cameron had something genuine. The fact that she was really thinking over the decision to go through with the wedding wasn't a bad sign to me, I felt like she was really taking the whole process seriously and she really wanted to do the right thing. I knew that was the one couple who would make it through the process. Never did I ever get the impression that Jessica stuck around for anything other than the hope that Barnett would dump Amber and she'd be there to swoop him up. She's such a snob, I don't think she would have been happy with Barnett in the long run. He made a better choice with Amber. They may not make it, but at least they had a better basis for a relationship, than he did with Jessica. Kelly seems like she realized that she's a hot mess and Kenny was the stable one. Kenny dodged a major bullet.

She sure did drink a lot while filming....I think it gave her liquid courage in regards to Barnett It has to be hard to see yourself as she was portrayed on the show. It's not that she didn't do what was shown, it's that what we saw isn't the whole story. I give her credit for seeing her behavior and deciding that she needs to change and also for apologizing. That's hard without cameras filming you!
Cameron and especially Lauren have talked about how race really was not the issue that the show made it seem. They kept hammering that point. Yes, they did talk about race, but they talked about many other things too and we didn't see that. Lauren also met Cam's parents during filming, but that probably wasn't dramatic enough.
You can also see it with Amber's money issues. They showed the conversation about money and how she had student debt and wasn't working, but left out the part about how a) she wasn't working because she'd been injured on the job and was in the middle of a worker's comp claim, so couldn't work (IIRC, she was in a boot right before the show started filming) and that b) Barnett had twice the amount of student debt she had.
While the things shown did happen, they're not the whole story. I'm sure it's frustrating to watch the finished product and see that the showrunners created a narrative for you that doesn't feel totally accurate. It's what you sign up for if you go on a reality show, but still. There are SO many people who think what's shown on TV is the whole story and then they go on attack. If I was a celebrity, I don't think I'd do ANY sm at all. It's just too easy for people to get to you directly and saw nasty things.
Carlton is clearly in a lot of pain. I'm glad someone made the move to get him some help. That IG post was pretty upsetting.

I was irritated with GiGi first, but now I think Gigi was S E T U P.
Damien really did not want to be married. He got her to agree that "no matter what" they would end up leaving together.
That is what he got. GiGi looks quite a bit younger than Damien. She could do better. I say "Do better."
Damien is never going to put Gigi first. He is not a real partner. There is no going back from treating the parents badly.
The parents are the only ones that have Gigi's interest at heart.
I say throw that bird away. If he does not come back with a ring, good riddance.....unless she really does not want
a family or children. If she does not want children, just stay with the guy.

I guess I don't see the problem with Damien  In the interviews they've done since the finale AND in the reunion special, they seem happy. They both acknowledge that they contributed to the issues they had AND that they were not ready to get married. Other cast members, including Lauren have talked about how much they love Damien. I think he got a particularly bad edit, with respect to how stern he was made to look. He clearly isn't emotionless - he wouldn't have cried at the wedding if he didn't have feelings.
From what I've read, if the couples got engaged and stayed together up 'til the weddings, they were required to do the wedding and get married or break up at the altar.
All three couples that are still together - Lauren and Cam, Amber and Barnett and Gigi and Damien were all on Ellen today. Apparently, Ellen is a big fan of the show: and they played Never Have I ever:
They all look happy. Amber's confrontation of Jessica at the reunion was only 20% of what she wanted to do? Yikes. Jess should feel very lucky.

Jessica and Kelly Reveal They’ve Secretly Known Each Other for 10 Years
A total of eight couples got engaged among the participants. In addition to the six couples shown on the series, couples Westley Baer and Lexie Skipper and Rory Newbrough and Danielle Drouin also got engaged in the experiment. Newbrough told People, "As we were preparing to go to the Mexico trip, the leads of the show came in and said, 'Hey, we were expecting maybe one or two [engagements]. The shows we've done before, we've never had this much success. We prepared for five. Then we got eight engagements, so we had to pick who we were going to follow.' We got our phones back. They thanked us graciously and said, 'Sorry, we just don’t have enough to cover everybody.'" After getting engaged in the pods, Baer and Skipper continued to date for three months before breaking up. Newbrough and Drouin took a week-long trip to Miami together after getting engaged. They broke up after returning from the trip and Drouin decided to pursue a relationship with another participant on the show, Matt Thomas. Thomas and Drouin later split as well. AVCLUB Interview with Creator: AVC: There had to be a lot of fear of, “If we don’t get any engagements, is the show over?” CC: There was nothing that said these people had to get engaged. There was nothing that said these people had to get married, or even make it to their ceremony, nothing. Nothing was required of them. Every decision was theirs. But I believed enough in the universality of the idea, and I felt strongly that people connecting in this way was a good enough idea, an interesting enough idea, a radical enough idea, that I felt like people would develop real emotional connection. But I truly had no idea that it was going to be as successful as it was. And actually, in real life, we ended up having more success than you even see on the show, in terms of people falling in love and getting engaged in the pod part of the show. There were more couples that got engaged than we were able to follow, which we did not expect at all. We felt like we would be lucky to have just one couple, and we had overwhelming abundance of story. AVC: So will we be seeing any of those unaired engagements and their stories as bonus episodes? CC: We weren’t going to throw too many storylines of people. But, I mean, if we’d had the crew to cover it, of course we would. We would have wanted to follow all of them in a heartbeat. The people we picked [as the six couples to feature,] we sort of just closed our eyes and said, “Oh, maybe it’s this one, maybe it’s that one.” Everyone on the show was tremendously real, and authentic, and gracious with allowing us to be in their life. And, honestly, every single person that was in that facility truly said it changed their lives. It was a completely transformative experience. Every single person said that, no matter what happened.

I'm watching the Love is Blind reunion and OOF, I'd forgotten how needy and annoying Amber is. Her defense of Mark cheating on LC is pretty scummy. I had to mute her constantly interrupting and being nasty to LC and Diamond. She's definitely got Matt by the short hairs. I'm pretty shocked that he sold his house to pay off her student loans. I can't imagine letting anyone do that.
Apparently, Mark was spending time with his now-girlfriend when he was still engaged to Jessica. Then he strung LC along all while he was with that other woman. He probably knew he would have been strung up if he'd shown up at the party.
I think Gianina needs to cut ties with Damian. He clearly doesn't care about her. He brings a hot girl with a questionable rep to a party when he's still in love with Gigi? I call bs. Frankly, I don't get the big deal about Damian anyway.
Loved seeing Lauren and Cameron. They're a bright spot. I love how close their families have gotten. The different colored toothbrushes and then talking about cyborg Lauren 
The clips at the very end are a riot.

New Episodes--Where they are two years later
It is nice to see how they are doing.
* Blonde lady was lucky to dump Mark at the alter since he mislead LC.
* Married brunette Amber was cruel to LC saying that she does not deserve faithfulness from Mark since she is not married. If dating people want faithfulness, they can expect it. Amber has hostility for Jessica and LC over her husband. Even though she is married, she is definitely not secure.
* Gigi is wasting her time with Damien. He is such a jerk bringing the other girl to the party. If that does not make her wake up, nothing will. Why does she not like herself? He is nothing but desceptive. Time and marriage will not improve that.
* Good to see Cameron and Lauren are still happy and in love.
* I wish Diamond was in a happy romantic relationship.

lizard, Amber is truly awful. The way she spoke to Diamond and LC was just so beyond nasty. Oh, and her control over Matt to the point where he literally had to walk away from Jessica and couldn't actually answer producers' questions about her is crazy. She's clearly super threatened by any other women. Jessica definitely didn't behave perfectly during the show, but that was over 2 years ago and it definitely sounds like she's moved on. It seems like only Amber hasn't moved on. I think Lauren and Cameron are a forever kind of thing, but I won't be surprised if Matt and Amber split up. She's exhausting and SO controlling. Also, I just think she's kind of trashy. He's no prize, but no one deserves to be controlled that way. Agreed about Gigi and Damien. She can do SO much better. She needs to move on. If he wants trashy Francesca, he can have her....and then she'll get tired of him in a month and move onto someone younger and hotter. He's clearly got the depth of a vernal pool. He's gotten botox and fillers and a new sports car. I think his transformation into a cliche is complete. I'm sad for Carlton that he's still SO wounded and defensive. Nothing Lauren said to him wasn't the truth and I don't think she was mean about it. She's a really sweet person and seems to care about him. He seriously needs to get more therapy and learn how to receive difficult (for him) information with more grace. Lauren didn't deserve to be spoken to like that. I felt bad for Diamond too. I mean, yeah, she didn't spend that much time with her date, but did he not get that his role was support and not to be her main focus that night? One of the other ladies brought a date who interacted with the others and Kenny's fiancee talked to everyone too. I moved my post above from the Netflix thread because I literally forgot that I started this thread!

Has anyone been watching Season 2?
I missed the first season, not having Netflix at the time, so I jumped right into Season 2.
It's weird to me that the process in the pods, is only days long (5, 7?). And they fall in love?! Hard enough to propose?! Head scratcher, for sure.
But then, going to Mexico together is a whole different dynamic than sitting and talking all day. Some of these people are complete messes!
I just got to the episodes where they're back in Chicago, living together in a new apartment. I'm liking it, but also feeling so bad for some of these people.

Yes I watched the first and second season. It is a train wreck for sure to watch. Yeah they do the honeymoon before they are married or not. Than live together. Almost a Love at first Sight but have a choice to marry or not at the end.
I even watched the Japanese one and really liked that one but only could watch with English subtitles. No option of just English speaking so I couldn’t binge watch like the other one but I really enjoyed it . It was hard to keep them apart…lol also hum a lot and nod in there conversations. It was done the same way but had way more couples. Will watch again if they have another season.

The reunion was crazy, with Shake being such an outspoken a$$. Poor Deeps, she really made him look good while engaged, but now we see what a creep he always really was. And we learned that Kyle and Deep had a thing too, and she was torn between the two guys! She seems like a sweetheart, and well liked amongst the cast (well, most of them).
Shayne was reactive, as usual, but when he was so weird about Shaina I got suspicious. She eventually said, there was nothing romantic, after the show aired, but he wouldn't even answer a question at all about it and it looked fishy. That Shaina is a piece of work, wow. Shayne apologized a lot, and I agree that he never really got an apology back, nor much of the reassurance that he wanted. Poor guy.
Surprised to see Danielle and Nick still together, and making it work -- I think the Lacheys said it was almost a year married now for them, and that surprises the heck out of me. She's nuts, and they didn't seem very stable at all.
Iyanna and Jarrette are so dang cute together (though I liked her short hair better), I'm happy they've made it work. They remind me of the cute couple from Married at First Sight, Amani and ...can't think of his name! Just very happy and sweet to each other. I love that.
Shake is just the biggest loser of them all. He tried to say, they pigeonholed him as the "villain" so he decided he'd go along and play that role. But then he tries saying he's just being REAL, and being honest, and not fake. ha. If he were my vet, I'd take my pets elsewhere.
Mal and Sal were pretty boring. She seems to have some issues that didn't quite come out, I think, because she came across as disingenuous. I was glad he didn't just go along with it and stay with her, since he was more into the relationship than it seemed she was. Right from the start, though, I never could have stuck with him: his voice actually bugged me and he gave me the creeps at first!
I know it's a short series, but I still wish we would've gotten to see some of the other couples dating in the pods.

I didn't think Shake could get any worse but nearly a year went by and he was even more terrible at the reunion. Apparently he is currently using his Twitter fingers to sound off. Yikes. I'm nosey. I wanted to know all the details about Sal/Mallory but he wanted to keep quiet about it. Booo! Shayne shutting down Shaina topic. Definitely suspect! She has a boyfriend now so that's probably why she went along with it. When the doors opened for Shaina and Mallory to reveal their pick, I knew it was downhill. It was like meeting a guy at a bar, saying yes to a date, arriving to the date sober and then immediately regretting it all. |

Navybelle - watch season 1! Lauren and Cameron make it SO worth it! You will fall in love with them! It seems like the whole world is over Shake. I don't think we've seen many reality show participants who lack as much self-awareness as he does. After the reunion, he had the nerve to claim that Nick Lachey was criticizing veterinarians? NO dude, he was criticizing YOU! There was nothing in Nick's comment that was a slam on vets. The more Shake spoke, the more you could see that every other person on stage was just willing him to shut up. I'd love it it Deepti and Kyle got together. I found his ears distractingly large, but he seems very sweet and Deepti is amazing. She deserves someone nice. Happy that Natalie said no to Shayne. Anyone who'd say those kinds of things to you once will say them again. I couldn't get over that either. I think he needs some serious therapy. Plus, with his father's death so close to the time filming started, he shouldn't have been there in the first place. I watched all of this season, but didn't enjoy it as much as season 1. Without a Lauren and Cameron-type couple, I found it hard to root for anyone. I wouldn't have been surprised if no one had said yes at the altar....or if they all did. Maybe it's just the magic of the first season of a show.

Maybe it's just the magic of the first season of a show. I loved Season 1 too, and it was a really wild ride! My favorite couple was Matt and Amber, who, along with Lauren and Cameron, are still together now, 4 years later. And Season 1 had a messy love triangle too (remember when Jessica was turned down by Matt, and still wanted him very badly, but ended up saying yes to Mark, on the rebound.), I thought that was similar to Season 2's situation with Shaina wanting Shayne so much, but after Shayne proposed to Natalie, Shaina saying yes to Kyle, on the rebound. And there's some really good news from Kyle and Deepti --- they may be having a relationship, after all!  Love Is Blind’s Deepti Just Revealed if She’s Dating Kyle After He Said His ‘Biggest Regret’ Was Not Proposing to Herstylecaster.com/deepti-kyle-love-is-blind/ "Are Deepti and Kyle dating after Love Is Blind season 2? In an interview with Elite Daily, Deepti confirmed that she’s still single and “focusing” on herself, but that she and Kyle are “figuring” things out when it comes to their relationship. “Kyle and I, we are figuring it out,” she said. “Not a lot of people know that we had a really strong connection in The Pods. I was really struggling to pick between Shake and Kyle [in the pods].” Deepti, who confirmed she’s “not in touch with Shake” since their breakup, also told the site that she and Kyle reconnected a few months after Love Is Blind finished filming. Since then, Kyle and Deepti have left flirty comments on each other’s Instagram posts and even appeared in TikTok videos together. When asked about the rumors about their relationship, Deepti said, “The speculation is really funny. We’re close, but the people are going insane and it’s fun to watch. We’re just trying to figure it out. There’s a lot on our plate right now … we’ll see what happens.” Deepti’s comments come after Kyle posted a video with her on TikTok, and Deepti posted an Instagram photo of her and the Love Is Blind cast, including Kyle, which she captioned: “Oh, but I did find love 🖤.” Kyle, for his part, commented on the post, “Did you?” |

Maybe it's just the magic of the first season of a show. Thanks for the recommendation! I finished watching Season 1, including all the reunion shows and have been reading up and trying to follow up on the couples. I'm REALLY surprised Matt and Amber are still together, since she seems like a nightmare. He wasn't "allowed" to talk to Jessica, answer questions about her, speak her name, or anything related to Jessica, because otherwise he'd get in trouble with his wife. Two years later! Ridiculous! That's showing how insecure and immature Amber is. Yeah, Jessica was inappropriate that one night, but super drunk too, when she said all that to him. Get over it! You got the man, she's apologized, nothing further happened....sheesh. Amber's reaction to LC and Diamond regarding Mark was absolutely horrible too. She really has issues. It sounds like Mark does too, so it's good they're friends with each other I guess. Hopefully Amber doesn't turn that kind of viciousness towards Matt, or she'll likely lose him. I'm sorry to hear of her epilepsy diagnosis, and it doesn't sound like they've decided to have children (yet?) at this point, so I hope everything's okay in that regard. But a little grace and forgiveness would be good for her health, I'd think! Holding a grudge only hurts the holder. Oh, and regarding the student loans, I read that HE actually had more student loan debt that she did, so together, selling his house helped them both. And that she had a back injury and that's why she couldn't work, waiting for the suit to settle. I really felt for Jessica, especially at the first reunion. She really seemed mortified at what she'd seen of herself, and actually did what most reality TV people should do: try to change those things that are not your best traits! She took time, did some self-reflection, and decided to drink less. Yay. I was embarrassed at many of those drunken conversations and arguments -- not just Jessica's. I noticed she did not get sloshed at the 2 year reunion/party, and looked to be drinking water when I noticed her. Good for her! I'm glad to see she's now with a man she seems to adore. And it sounds like she dodged a bullet with Mark, since Mr. READY and super sincere man was playing the field and acting VERY much 24. Fooled quite a few of us, I'm sure. I didn't like Kelly, ever. Kenny and his new fiancé looked happy, so I'm glad for them. Diamond is hilarious, and she looked great at the 2 year party, but the guy she took there was Bad. He tells the camera that he only likes C or D cupped women, he acted stupid at the party, so I was glad she didn't have to spend any more time on that guy. Buh bye! Gi and Damian gave me a headache. All the arguing and miscommunication was bad enough, then at the 2 year party he was such a jerk! A full-of-himself-jerk! The car, the botox and fillers, the Too Hot To Handle girl he invited JUST to show her off, IMO -- all so ridiculous. She had a lot to learn, but she should ditch Damian once and for all. Lauren is awesome, though Cameron gave me the creeps at first. Seeing the reunions helped, because he acted less creepy, and now I am okay with him, but it took me awhile. I did like how committed he was to Lauren, since I liked her and wanted her to be happy. The last scenes, outtakes? were funny with the two of them. It's so weird that they had more couples get engaged, and just didn't film them. "Whoops, too many success stories, so ... see ya! Good luck!" It was good to see how the series started, especially with it being new and fresh for everyone involved. No one knew what to expect. I've learned that people definitely can be more shallow and superficial than they say they are (or think they are), and that they didn't risk all that much since everyone involved seemed reasonably attractive. No one was ugly, overweight, bad teeth or hair issues, etc. Most drink way too much, don't listen very well, or know how to argue. I guess that sums up most reality shows, though, right? |

Navybelle - I think some others had the same reaction to Cameron as you did. They've both talked about how touch is his love language and Lauren had to adjust to that AND he had to back off a bit so that she (who'd lived alone and wasn't used to someone up in her business all the time) could to learn to accept affection more. Over the weekend. Deepti and Kyle were in Coachella together...or at least they sure looked like they were together in the picture Katie Thurston (former Bach'ette) posted to her Insta. I would love it if they were together. She's such a sweetheart and I think he's a really good guy. She deserves to have someone treat her well. Shake was The Worst. At least one cast member (Shane?) has said that he things Shake said at the reunion were the tip of the iceberg - he said even worse stuff that didn't make the cut.

Welp, this past week was not great for Love is Blind couples. Iyanna and Jarette announced four days ago that they are getting divorced. Then, yesterday, there was news that Danielle and Nick are splitting up too. Now we're back to only two couples - the two from season one - still married.
Neither of these splits really surprise me. I was surprised they even got married to begin with.

The After the Altar episodes are up today! I totally forgot it was today and then turned on Netflix  Watching the first episode now.
ETA: Okay, UGH. Nick and Danielle talking about how great it is to be married because you can plan things out a year or two in advance and know that the person will be there because you're married. Iyanna and Jarette are looking all happy too. I wonder if we'll see those marriages implode or it will be a post script.

I really enjoy this show and was looking forward to watching the new episodes soooo much, so meanwhile, I thought I'd re-watch last year's reunion to familiarize myself with the couples. Wow! I had forgotten how much animosity there was right after the show finished airing. I'm almost afraid to see what's happened since then! |

Well, it's been in a press and the 3 new episodes have been up for about 10 days, so..... ALL of the couples are done. Not just the two who married in season 2, but also Deepti and Kyle, who got together and then, apparently, broke up some time over the summer. Hopefully, season 3 will be better, with more successful matches and it will prove season 2 as the exception and not the rule. Sadly, it might just be that season 1 was the anomaly  |

In the interviews they've done since the finale AND in the reunion special, they seem happy. They both acknowledge that they contributed to the issues they had AND that they were not ready to get married. Other cast members, including Lauren have talked about how much they love Damien. I think he got a particularly bad edit, with respect to how stern he was made to look. He clearly isn't emotionless - he wouldn't have cried at the wedding if he didn't have feelings. 
Watching the first episode now.
