![]() ![]() Kwame just likes validation, right? He basically forgot Chelsea’s name until after Micah broke up with him. ![]() Kwame/Chelsea/Micah: Okay, friends, let’s be real. He likes her enough not to break up with her, but they don’t seem to have the magical/soulmate/mind-bending connection that Tiffany and Brett do. But I can absolutely see P3 saying no at the altar. Paul and Micah’s reveal is cute, and they appear to actually like each other somewhat. When Paul and Micah do decide only to date each other, he’s so upset that he literally cannot get the words out to break up with Amber meanwhile, Micah rages about why their conversation is taking longer than 0.2 seconds and why Kwame didn’t react to her breaking up with him even though, again, she broke up with him. Micah immediately wants P3 to cut off his other connection with Amber, which is ridiculous because she’s still out here saying “I love you” to Kwame. When Amber reveals she’s a flight attendant, P3 says, “Pretty obvious connection there.” … Am I stupid? What’s the connection? Wrapped up in his orbit is flight attendant Amber, who’s been married twice before, and Micah, who presumably has a job but doesn’t talk about it. Paul the Third - who my roommate has lovingly nicknamed P3 - is a nerdy environmental scientist who uses the privacy of the pods to be shockingly flirty. Paul/Micah/Amber: Here we are, our first love triangle that goes on for far too long. ![]() Honestly, they’re really cute, and I’m scared by the preview! (And yes, I could have included Josh in here, but to quote the great Yolanda Hadid, who is Josh in this world? The man got 0.5 confessionals and revealed himself to be someone who backs down from conflict quite easily.) When they have their reveal, Marshall’s heart eyes basically pop out of his head cartoon-style, and he literally dances away out of happiness. They agree they don’t want to raise their kids too strictly. Marshall dresses well, has piercing eyes, and is bad at math, which is his trauma. Marshall/Jackelina: Jackelina (“Jackie”) is straight out of the Love Is Blind textbook - she says exactly what’s on her mind and fully embraces having 12 boyfriends at once. Yet another random keeps joking that he’s a homeless stripper-oh wait, that’s Zack! With a massive, five-episode first drop, there’s a lot to unpack, so let’s break down our pod couples/throuples before they set sail on their honeymoons: Another guy (or maybe the same one?) keeps trying to sus out what the women look like, à la Shake. There’s someone who clearly wears too much leopard print for his own good. In classic Love Is Blind fashion, we start with Nick and Vanessa Lachey telling a bunch of people we’ll never see again that they’re about to meet the loves of their lives before beginning the free-for-all that is pod dating. You’d think by season four of this show, the formula would be tired, but Netflix keeps finding new and inventive ways to punish single people. ![]() We just left the honeymoons, and we already have one solid couple to root for, one guy attempting to get back with his second choice, and one love triangle/square/whatever shape is made when Irina likes Paul, but he’d prefer it if she took a one-way flight back to Mexico. When people talk about peak TV, this is what they mean, right? I’m a natural cynic (check my Bachelor recaps for proof), but this is definitely the best season of Love Is Blind yet. ![]()
