Love is Blind season 7 examined what it meant to fall in love…once more. Are seems to be, cash, and different superficial issues essential in relation to issues of the center? Or are you able to fall in love with somebody sight unseen? We watched a gaggle of individuals navigate these questions. And since we will’t management ourselves (as evidenced by the breakdown for episodes 1-6, 7-9, 10-11, and the finale), right here we depart you with our breakdown of the season 7 reunion!
1. The Love is Blind reunion was slightly messy, however not practically messy sufficient. Do you are feeling like Nick and Vanessa at all times go too straightforward on these contestants? What questions would you could have favored to see requested?
Lizzie: YES. The place have been the receipts about Tyler’s household? About Stephen’s texting? We missed out on all the nice conversations this season of Love is Blind, after which the reunion added nothing aside from Nick and Vanessa asking the apparent questions. No, we’d like mess. In the event that they’re going to host this, they should be slightly messy. We may have seen among the footage from the Alex and Tim battle! We may have gotten solutions? As an alternative everybody bought to say their piece and the best way they appeared on the finish of it principally relied on how good or dangerous folks have been at articulating.
Lyra: Nick and Vanessa overlook that they’re not these contestants associates. They’re the hosts. And I want they might push the needle and make entertaining TV. As a result of this was really giving, “Let’s make one of the best with what we’ve bought.” However what you’ve bought is loads of lacking scenes and a transparent drawback the place every part feels rigorously orchestrated however in a boring method. Issues are getting drained Love is Blind.
2. A lot of the males in Love is Blind Season 7 appear to be rubbish. Rank them, from worst to finest.
Lizzie: This appears like an not possible query. Contemplating Tyler didn’t really deceive Ashley (not that I like how he dealt with the entire thing and appears to have dropped his youngsters), I’d nonetheless rank Ramses first. Then Tim, Tyler, Stephen (yeah, think about, guys who didn’t cheat are worse!). Leo is up subsequent. Then Nick. And eventually, Garrett who appears to be one of the best one of many bunch.
Lyra: From worst to finest, my reply has modified significantly from what I believed from episode 1. Tim is my quantity #1. You understand how ladies get these spidey-senses when one thing is mistaken? Or they spot one thing in a lady that will get the alarm bells going? I bought the alarm bells watching Alex’s response to Tim. And the best way he spoke to her, had these spidey-senses tingling, particularly after how bothered he bought when he was referred to as, “A little bit b*tch.” One thing is off there.
Subsequent up is Nick. He’s didn’t wish to come clean with additionally being horrible whereas going for that social media profession. Go. Then Stephen. He, like Tim, are giving delicate manipulation and it’s giving manipulation. He may’ve talked and stated his piece. As an alternative, Stephen stated nobody would imagine him anyway, so why clarify? After which he proceeded to clarify. However to not bury the hatchet with Monica. No, he didn’t speak to her. He talked to us, the viewers, to make he appeared good. He didn’t.
From there we’ve got Ramses, who gave us completely nothing and would possibly as effectively have stayed residence. Then Tyler as a result of it doesn’t matter what we noticed on stage, we’ve seen the child mama’s movies on-line. I can’t imagine I’m saying this however Leo, who owned up extra to what occurred than Nick did. And eventually Garrett, who appears to be flourishing. Which, we like to see progress.

3. Did something that occurred within the reunion change your thoughts about one thing you noticed throughout the season?
Lizzie: I don’t assume something we noticed with Nick modified my thoughts, as a result of I don’t assume one factor makes up for one more …Hannah was nonetheless very imply, even when she appears like she had a purpose, she was nonetheless taking out her insecurities on Nick. However what he did was not cool, so we will admit speaking about somebody’s seems to be behind her again may be very uncool, and I can see Hannah’s insecurities may have performed a component in all that occurred. Nonetheless, she was imply again and again and by no means really confronted him about this, which is bizarre contemplating she stated again and again that she was “direct.” In the long run, I’m simply glad these two will not be collectively, interval.
As for Tyler, I’m nonetheless not very happy about all of the mendacity, staging, and the truth that it does look like he dumped 3 youngsters he was beforehand concerned with, however he didn’t deceive his spouse, so I assume there’s that? I believed he had, so perhaps he’s marginally much less terrible than I figured.
Lyra: I had a tiny glimmer of “Nick was executed soiled by Hannah all season lengthy along with her nasty barbs.” Now we come to seek out out from virtually everybody that Nick was serving up his little jokes and barbs behind the scenes. Look, I don’t like Hannah, however not less than she will be able to (finally) admit she was being a b*tch. That’s greater than what Nick can say. He admitted nothing and acted like he was a golden angel. And he wouldn’t have been backed right into a nook like this if he wasn’t lapping up the eye from Love is Blind and commenting on anti-Hannah stuff. Which, I get it. She was impolite. However feeding into that rudeness simply makes you as impolite as the unique impolite particular person. So congratulations, Nick. You performed your self.
4. What was probably the most cringe-worthy second of the reunion for you? And one of the best?
Lizzie: Tim making an attempt to gaslight Alex, and us. Poor lady couldn’t even get in a phrase edgewise. I’m going to be sincere, Tim was giving a strolling pink flag. I’m glad you bought away from him, Alex.
Finest? This was a reasonably tame reunion, however I do assume Ramses and Stephen throwing Nick underneath the boss was a high second. Not that it excuses Hannah, however it was nonetheless hilarious that it occurred.
Lyra: Essentially the most cringeworthy second for me from the Love is Blind season 7 reunion needed to be Ramses giving us nothing whereas Marissa sat there clearly emotional. You’d assume that if it’s been a 12 months, he would have a greater rationalization on why he stated no to marrying Marissa. As an alternative he simply saved with the identical excuses that amounted to mainly “the vibes weren’t vibing.”
As for finest second from the reunion, AD and Marshall. Their reactions have been 10/10 and they should return for each reunion. Really felt like they have been the viewers at residence come to life on that stage.
5. What did you consider Tyler’s rationalization about his “sperm donor youngsters” and Ashley standing by him?
Lizzie: Okay, LOOK, that is an indictment on the present as a result of these two mainly went “We talked about this earlier than after which knowingly lied on digicam,” which is true means Love is Blind is sweet for completely nothing, and if not it means Ashley is masking for her husband as a result of she feels that is the one solution to not look dangerous. Both method, from what we’ve heard Tyler has simply dropped these youngsters the performed home with for years, and that’s nasty. And it’s nasty of Ashley to help it.
Lyra: This second proper right here broke all the phantasm of Love is Blind for me. And that is coming from a seasoned actuality TV viewer. I do know that is rigorously orchestrated from begin to end. However the truth that Ashley and Tyler have been so blatant about mendacity to the cameras, actually broke my enjoyment. Actuality TV must be extra about candid moments than something. And them being so blatant about the way it was all deliberate actually explains why I by no means linked with these two. I don’t know them they usually don’t look after the method. In truth, I believe they’re identical to Nick. Wish to be certain that they appear good on TV to allow them to grow to be the following Lauren and Cameron. And I’m uninterested in this changing into a social media star machine. Subsequent.
6. Are Taylor and Garrett the one ones we belief this season?
Lizzie: Really, the one ones. And so they appeared completely satisfied and in-sync! I do know there’s been some criticism about the truth that they didn’t transfer to San Diego as a result of it was arduous for Garrett, and a few folks have categorized that as Taylor “giving up her dream,” however I see it extra as a compromise contemplating they’re shifting to D.C. Taylor was alone, and when she was alone shifting to San Diego to be close to her dad and mom made sense. Now, she’s bought a associate. And pushing simply her desires with out contemplating his wouldn’t have been excellent, both. I like that it appears like they’re each content material with the choice and that Garrett appears to get alongside along with her dad and mom, too!
Lyra: Really completely satisfied to see the place Taylor and Garrett have ended up this season. Virtually makes me imagine within the magic of this present. Virtually. As for the criticism surrounding them not shifting, I believe they’ll finally transfer to San Diego. Possibly not now. However sometime. As a result of they appear like they really speak. *gasp* And talk. *one other gasp* And who is aware of the place their desires will now take them now that they’ve one another to nurture the others desires?
Garrett particularly appears to be blossoming. And never in a I’m fairly and had a glow up method cuz trend method. Garrett appears to be taking good care of himself for himself. But additionally exploring issues that poisonous masculinity perhaps closed the doorways for him as a result of he has a associate in Taylor that’s heat, receptive, and artistic. Throughout it seems to be like progress. And that’s an excellent factor.

7. Now we have a date for Season 8! Are you ready? Any first impressions on the contestants we noticed?
Lizzie: Nobody’s ever ready, really. Particularly for a Valentine’s Day premiere. Additionally, that one man (Alex) seems to be like he’s 12, please somebody inform me how outdated he’s. I’m involved.
Lyra: These contestants look sooooo younger. Which, I get Love is Blind is making an attempt to herald new demographics in, however they appear sooooo younger. And no, I’m not ready for extra. They are surely simply churning these seasons out, aren’t they?
Love is Blind season 7 is accessible on Netflix.
