At one level throughout this episode, AD says her wedding ceremony had “such a lead-up for such a loopy letdown.” That’s form of how this reunion feels. Regardless of the Lacheys’ finest efforts, we don’t get sufficient revelations to justify a 97-minute runtime. Nick guarantees to deal with “each single scandal,” and whereas I congratulate the Lacheys for taking note of social media this season and having receipts locked and loaded, this forged is basically good at rambling or giving non-answers. There have been undoubtedly moments the place I leaned in, however there have been too many missed alternatives. If we had extra follow-ups and fewer filler, notably within the bloated second half of the episode, we might’ve gotten rather more perception. Don’t get me fallacious, this reunion was undoubtedly an enchancment from previous seasons! However I nonetheless suppose we deserve higher.
The reunion kicks off on the Love Is Blind stage, the place a dwell viewers which incorporates previous {couples} from the present is ready for the Lacheys (who present up after Nick disturbs my peace by telling Vanessa he would “boink” her based mostly on her voice) to herald the season-six forged.
Our first juicy bit of knowledge comes from Jeramey. He confirms that he’s courting Sarah Ann, who walks out to scattered applause. She and Jeramey have been collectively for nearly a 12 months and are actually dwelling collectively, which is the proper transition into the Lacheys’ announcement that Laura has made time to Zoom in from a piece journey in Barcelona. (“Can we clap?” Sarah Ann asks. “No,” Jeramey says.) When Vanessa brings up the Apple Watch idea, Jeramey fumbles and may’t clarify himself. He and Laura find yourself bickering about what occurred, and Sarah Ann jumps in and makes issues worse.
We see new footage of Sarah Ann telling Laura on the lake home that she’s sorry if she harm her “in any approach” by DMing Jeramey. Sarah Ann says many phrases, however essentially the most memorable ones are “blasé blah.” Laura warns her to watch out about trusting “clown robotic” Jeramey, who she says has been worrying about his picture and the way he “appears worse than Jimmy.” Again on the reunion, Jimmy just isn’t amused. In the meantime, Jessica admits to eradicating Sarah Ann from a gaggle chat with the opposite ladies within the forged. Chelsea additionally whacks Sarah Ann by revealing that she unfollowed all the ladies — however not their fiancés — and that she and Jeramey have damaged up at the very least two occasions. Sarah Ann and Jeramey insist their ups and downs helped them notice they’re actually in love.
Nevertheless, the Lacheys query how real Sarah Ann is. They level to a TikTok the place she says that actuality tv is “meant to entertain” and concludes, “We didn’t miss with this one, child.” Sarah Ann says she made the video due to hate she was getting on-line. I really feel like the truth that she’s nonetheless dwelling with Jeramey signifies that there are actual emotions concerned, so I might have most popular to grill Jeramey about Laura’s declare that he stated Sarah Ann was “completely not” an choice. However our hosts are fairly caught on the chance that this was all for leisure. In the end, Sarah Ann and Jeramey apologize to Laura, who says she’s been ready for accountability. Earlier than she logs off, Laura reveals that she’s courting somebody and points one other apology for the “bean dip” fiasco.
Trevor time! Nick and Vanessa expose him for having a girlfriend all through the experiment. (What a coincidence that he and Clay’s dad share each a reputation and a historical past of dishonest, eh?) The Lacheys learn out texts the place he professes his like to this woman, says he’ll marry her, and talks about having to “fake” on the present. She calls him “pumpkin.” I can’t perceive why Trevor and his mullet would willingly return to TV when the one excuse he can give you is that he was not technically courting this woman since he by no means requested her to be his girlfriend. He says this woman was his kind however they’d a poisonous relationship so he needed to search out somebody he wouldn’t usually go for. We’re imagined to consider that if Chelsea had chosen him, he would’ve been totally dedicated. Trevor provides that he wants “a number of remedy,” and was genuinely upset when he left the present. An unimpressed Jessica says Trevor might’ve higher defended Chelsea from the web’s wrath. (In a alternative of phrases I actually might by no means have predicted, she provides, “Even I’ve requested for a ceasefire on Jimmy.”) Flustered by questions, Trevor ultimately says Chelsea is the one particular person he owes a response to if she desires readability.
As certainly one of my co-workers astutely famous, Nick appears like he’s making a MLM pitch when he tells Sarah Ann and Trevor that collaborating in Love Is Blind is a “once-in-a-lifetime alternative.” He says approaching the present with fame in thoughts isn’t honest to the viewers, however particularly to different forged members who’re totally invested within the experiment. I nonetheless don’t essentially consider Sarah Ann got here onto the present planning to entertain us by stealing somebody’s man, however I see why she and Trevor are getting grouped collectively. It’s in Netflix’s finest curiosity to defend the present, so anybody who would possibly threaten the integrity of the idea have to be publicly reprimanded.
After Trevor makes a hasty exit, it’s time to test in with Clay and AD. Clay says he felt like “the largest dick” for saying no on the altar, and has apologized to AD’s mother and sisters. (I hope her little nieces have been included too.) “I like you, you’re the love of my life, and it was a mistake,” he says, however AD tells him he had his likelihood and blew it. Clay admits he did the method fallacious by not placing within the work first, and chokes up whereas speaking about being in remedy and eager to be a superb man. “You’re a good man,” she relents.
Nobody asks AD and Clay in regards to the Thanksgiving footage, or his monetary reasoning for saying no. We do be taught that Clay’s dad has stated sorry, in a roundabout way, however “in his approach.” There’s a candy second the place Clay reveals that Brett is the Love Is Blind participant he thought was an instance of what a husband must be. “It’s very humbling to listen to that, particularly Black man to Black man,” Brett responds, sharing that his personal mother and father didn’t have the most effective relationship.
In the meantime, Amy and Johnny are nonetheless obsessive about one another. We get a candy montage of their first 12 months of marriage. They’ve talked by disagreements, however nonetheless haven’t had an enormous combat. I’ve seen lots of people complaining that this couple is simply too boring or corny — and I undoubtedly wouldn’t describe them as “enjoyable and funky” like Vanessa did — however I nonetheless suppose they’re cute. Sue me!
The following part of the reunion is structured round viewer questions learn aloud by former Love Is Blind forged members. Right here, Netflix’s selections about the best way to fill time get extra complicated.
We solely had one couple get married this season. Contraception was certainly one of their greatest points, however the subject is barely introduced up shortly throughout this Q&A. Johnny says condoms have been “all the time an choice” however he simply didn’t know that a lot about contraception. “We figured it out and that’s all that issues,” Amy says, confirming that he didn’t have a vasectomy and she or he just isn’t on contraception.
Contemplating how a lot display screen time Jimmy and Chelsea had within the present, the reunion doesn’t deal with their relationship in a satisfying approach. Chelsea says she discovered Jessica’s bar dialog about Jimmy somewhat disrespectful and acknowledges she had insecurities through the present. Jimmy and Chelsea rehash the way in which she introduced up that he slept together with his pal; she says she will be able to’t apologize sufficient, they disagree about whether or not she hangs out along with her ex, and Jimmy says they “misheard one another in a number of issues.” That’s just about the extent of the reflection we get on their time as a pair, and most of it’s by the framework of their interactions with different folks. However judging by some bodily contact through the reunion, Jimmy and Chelsea appear to at the very least be pleasant now. How lengthy did it take them to reconcile? What’s their relationship like now? It’s an odd alternative to not prioritize these questions over stuff like whether or not Chelsea regrets that Megan Fox remark. (For what it’s value, Chelsea instructed EW that she and Jimmy tried courting after the season ended, didn’t converse for months after he broke up along with her once more, and now assist one another as pals.)
The reunion as a substitute introduces beef between Jessica and Jimmy that doesn’t get totally resolved. Jessica stated she thought they have been pals and was offended by his declare in an interview that she received a “good edit” and stormed out of their final date after 10 minutes. Jimmy doubles down, hedging that it was 45 minutes at most. After Jessica requires receipts, Netflix reveals us that the full time of that date was 133 minutes. But in spite of everything this buildup — AD and Clay’s heads have been swiveling forwards and backwards like they have been watching a tennis match — we don’t get to see Jessica vindicated or Jimmy reply to the proof.
It takes roughly an hour and ten minutes till Brittany and Kenneth lastly get requested a query, and it’s about whether or not having intercourse may need helped with the “crave.” Brittany affirms her dedication to attend till marriage. Kenneth maintains he was on his telephone due to his principal duties and is looking for a work-life stability. He provides that Netflix’s edit made it appear to be he wasn’t upset in regards to the breakup, however that everybody processes otherwise and his “emotionalism” was there. Brittany and Kenneth now converse each day, and are such shut pals that they’ve mentioned the best way to clarify their bond to potential companions.
The final main revelation is about Matthew, who declined to attend the reunion. After taking part in footage of Matthew telling Amber and AD the identical issues, Vanessa asks … if AD thinks Matthew instructed them the identical issues. For AD, the problem remains to be largely about how she opened up about her late father. However simply once I suppose we’re all on the identical web page about Matthew, AD admits to happening “two-ish” dates with him after the present and considering he was cute. (Clay pretends to not care.) Given how devastated AD was after the marriage, I can see why she might have needed to provide Matthew an opportunity when he reached out to apologize. However she says the connection in the end fizzled due to way of life variations.
By the way in which, this whole Q&A portion is repeatedly interrupted with life updates from former Love Is Blind forged members. I do suppose having former contributors ask questions, present response photographs, and share opinions on the season is enjoyable! However listening to them converse at size about pregnancies and new jobs at Netflix? Ehhh. That information might’ve simply been condensed into a brief montage of main updates, which might be swapped in for the clips of their proposals and weddings that performed initially of the episode. For anybody who doesn’t care about previous {couples} or hasn’t watched previous seasons, these segments are simply filler for Netflix to flex that the experiment works. (Micah and Izzy basically confirmed as much as promote the following season of Excellent Match, which they’ll be in with Micah’s new bestie, Jessica.) All of this takes away time that would’ve been spent giving season six’s contributors extra alternatives for closure, battle decision, and reflection. I’m nonetheless proud the Lacheys got here with receipts — I simply hope they use them higher subsequent time.

Season 6
Episode 13

Picture: COURTESY OF NETFLIX
At one level throughout this episode, AD says her wedding ceremony had “such a lead-up for such a loopy letdown.” That’s form of how this reunion feels. Regardless of the Lacheys’ finest efforts, we don’t get sufficient revelations to justify a 97-minute runtime. Nick guarantees to deal with “each single scandal,” and whereas I congratulate the Lacheys for taking note of social media this season and having receipts locked and loaded, this forged is basically good at rambling or giving non-answers. There have been undoubtedly moments the place I leaned in, however there have been too many missed alternatives. If we had extra follow-ups and fewer filler, notably within the bloated second half of the episode, we might’ve gotten rather more perception. Don’t get me fallacious, this reunion was undoubtedly an enchancment from previous seasons! However I nonetheless suppose we deserve higher.
The reunion kicks off on the Love Is Blind stage, the place a dwell viewers which incorporates previous {couples} from the present is ready for the Lacheys (who present up after Nick disturbs my peace by telling Vanessa he would “boink” her based mostly on her voice) to herald the season-six forged.
Our first juicy bit of knowledge comes from Jeramey. He confirms that he’s courting Sarah Ann, who walks out to scattered applause. She and Jeramey have been collectively for nearly a 12 months and are actually dwelling collectively, which is the proper transition into the Lacheys’ announcement that Laura has made time to Zoom in from a piece journey in Barcelona. (“Can we clap?” Sarah Ann asks. “No,” Jeramey says.) When Vanessa brings up the Apple Watch idea, Jeramey fumbles and may’t clarify himself. He and Laura find yourself bickering about what occurred, and Sarah Ann jumps in and makes issues worse.
We see new footage of Sarah Ann telling Laura on the lake home that she’s sorry if she harm her “in any approach” by DMing Jeramey. Sarah Ann says many phrases, however essentially the most memorable ones are “blasé blah.” Laura warns her to watch out about trusting “clown robotic” Jeramey, who she says has been worrying about his picture and the way he “appears worse than Jimmy.” Again on the reunion, Jimmy just isn’t amused. In the meantime, Jessica admits to eradicating Sarah Ann from a gaggle chat with the opposite ladies within the forged. Chelsea additionally whacks Sarah Ann by revealing that she unfollowed all the ladies — however not their fiancés — and that she and Jeramey have damaged up at the very least two occasions. Sarah Ann and Jeramey insist their ups and downs helped them notice they’re actually in love.
Nevertheless, the Lacheys query how real Sarah Ann is. They level to a TikTok the place she says that actuality tv is “meant to entertain” and concludes, “We didn’t miss with this one, child.” Sarah Ann says she made the video due to hate she was getting on-line. I really feel like the truth that she’s nonetheless dwelling with Jeramey signifies that there are actual emotions concerned, so I might have most popular to grill Jeramey about Laura’s declare that he stated Sarah Ann was “completely not” an choice. However our hosts are fairly caught on the chance that this was all for leisure. In the end, Sarah Ann and Jeramey apologize to Laura, who says she’s been ready for accountability. Earlier than she logs off, Laura reveals that she’s courting somebody and points one other apology for the “bean dip” fiasco.
Trevor time! Nick and Vanessa expose him for having a girlfriend all through the experiment. (What a coincidence that he and Clay’s dad share each a reputation and a historical past of dishonest, eh?) The Lacheys learn out texts the place he professes his like to this woman, says he’ll marry her, and talks about having to “fake” on the present. She calls him “pumpkin.” I can’t perceive why Trevor and his mullet would willingly return to TV when the one excuse he can give you is that he was not technically courting this woman since he by no means requested her to be his girlfriend. He says this woman was his kind however they’d a poisonous relationship so he needed to search out somebody he wouldn’t usually go for. We’re imagined to consider that if Chelsea had chosen him, he would’ve been totally dedicated. Trevor provides that he wants “a number of remedy,” and was genuinely upset when he left the present. An unimpressed Jessica says Trevor might’ve higher defended Chelsea from the web’s wrath. (In a alternative of phrases I actually might by no means have predicted, she provides, “Even I’ve requested for a ceasefire on Jimmy.”) Flustered by questions, Trevor ultimately says Chelsea is the one particular person he owes a response to if she desires readability.
As certainly one of my co-workers astutely famous, Nick appears like he’s making a MLM pitch when he tells Sarah Ann and Trevor that collaborating in Love Is Blind is a “once-in-a-lifetime alternative.” He says approaching the present with fame in thoughts isn’t honest to the viewers, however particularly to different forged members who’re totally invested within the experiment. I nonetheless don’t essentially consider Sarah Ann got here onto the present planning to entertain us by stealing somebody’s man, however I see why she and Trevor are getting grouped collectively. It’s in Netflix’s finest curiosity to defend the present, so anybody who would possibly threaten the integrity of the idea have to be publicly reprimanded.
After Trevor makes a hasty exit, it’s time to test in with Clay and AD. Clay says he felt like “the largest dick” for saying no on the altar, and has apologized to AD’s mother and sisters. (I hope her little nieces have been included too.) “I like you, you’re the love of my life, and it was a mistake,” he says, however AD tells him he had his likelihood and blew it. Clay admits he did the method fallacious by not placing within the work first, and chokes up whereas speaking about being in remedy and eager to be a superb man. “You’re a good man,” she relents.
Nobody asks AD and Clay in regards to the Thanksgiving footage, or his monetary reasoning for saying no. We do be taught that Clay’s dad has stated sorry, in a roundabout way, however “in his approach.” There’s a candy second the place Clay reveals that Brett is the Love Is Blind participant he thought was an instance of what a husband must be. “It’s very humbling to listen to that, particularly Black man to Black man,” Brett responds, sharing that his personal mother and father didn’t have the most effective relationship.
In the meantime, Amy and Johnny are nonetheless obsessive about one another. We get a candy montage of their first 12 months of marriage. They’ve talked by disagreements, however nonetheless haven’t had an enormous combat. I’ve seen lots of people complaining that this couple is simply too boring or corny — and I undoubtedly wouldn’t describe them as “enjoyable and funky” like Vanessa did — however I nonetheless suppose they’re cute. Sue me!
The following part of the reunion is structured round viewer questions learn aloud by former Love Is Blind forged members. Right here, Netflix’s selections about the best way to fill time get extra complicated.
We solely had one couple get married this season. Contraception was certainly one of their greatest points, however the subject is barely introduced up shortly throughout this Q&A. Johnny says condoms have been “all the time an choice” however he simply didn’t know that a lot about contraception. “We figured it out and that’s all that issues,” Amy says, confirming that he didn’t have a vasectomy and she or he just isn’t on contraception.
Contemplating how a lot display screen time Jimmy and Chelsea had within the present, the reunion doesn’t deal with their relationship in a satisfying approach. Chelsea says she discovered Jessica’s bar dialog about Jimmy somewhat disrespectful and acknowledges she had insecurities through the present. Jimmy and Chelsea rehash the way in which she introduced up that he slept together with his pal; she says she will be able to’t apologize sufficient, they disagree about whether or not she hangs out along with her ex, and Jimmy says they “misheard one another in a number of issues.” That’s just about the extent of the reflection we get on their time as a pair, and most of it’s by the framework of their interactions with different folks. However judging by some bodily contact through the reunion, Jimmy and Chelsea appear to at the very least be pleasant now. How lengthy did it take them to reconcile? What’s their relationship like now? It’s an odd alternative to not prioritize these questions over stuff like whether or not Chelsea regrets that Megan Fox remark. (For what it’s value, Chelsea instructed EW that she and Jimmy tried courting after the season ended, didn’t converse for months after he broke up along with her once more, and now assist one another as pals.)
The reunion as a substitute introduces beef between Jessica and Jimmy that doesn’t get totally resolved. Jessica stated she thought they have been pals and was offended by his declare in an interview that she received a “good edit” and stormed out of their final date after 10 minutes. Jimmy doubles down, hedging that it was 45 minutes at most. After Jessica requires receipts, Netflix reveals us that the full time of that date was 133 minutes. But in spite of everything this buildup — AD and Clay’s heads have been swiveling forwards and backwards like they have been watching a tennis match — we don’t get to see Jessica vindicated or Jimmy reply to the proof.
It takes roughly an hour and ten minutes till Brittany and Kenneth lastly get requested a query, and it’s about whether or not having intercourse may need helped with the “crave.” Brittany affirms her dedication to attend till marriage. Kenneth maintains he was on his telephone due to his principal duties and is looking for a work-life stability. He provides that Netflix’s edit made it appear to be he wasn’t upset in regards to the breakup, however that everybody processes otherwise and his “emotionalism” was there. Brittany and Kenneth now converse each day, and are such shut pals that they’ve mentioned the best way to clarify their bond to potential companions.
The final main revelation is about Matthew, who declined to attend the reunion. After taking part in footage of Matthew telling Amber and AD the identical issues, Vanessa asks … if AD thinks Matthew instructed them the identical issues. For AD, the problem remains to be largely about how she opened up about her late father. However simply once I suppose we’re all on the identical web page about Matthew, AD admits to happening “two-ish” dates with him after the present and considering he was cute. (Clay pretends to not care.) Given how devastated AD was after the marriage, I can see why she might have needed to provide Matthew an opportunity when he reached out to apologize. However she says the connection in the end fizzled due to way of life variations.
By the way in which, this whole Q&A portion is repeatedly interrupted with life updates from former Love Is Blind forged members. I do suppose having former contributors ask questions, present response photographs, and share opinions on the season is enjoyable! However listening to them converse at size about pregnancies and new jobs at Netflix? Ehhh. That information might’ve simply been condensed into a brief montage of main updates, which might be swapped in for the clips of their proposals and weddings that performed initially of the episode. For anybody who doesn’t care about previous {couples} or hasn’t watched previous seasons, these segments are simply filler for Netflix to flex that the experiment works. (Micah and Izzy basically confirmed as much as promote the following season of Excellent Match, which they’ll be in with Micah’s new bestie, Jessica.) All of this takes away time that would’ve been spent giving season six’s contributors extra alternatives for closure, battle decision, and reflection.

For anybody who doesn’t care about previous {couples} or hasn’t watched previous seasons, these segments are simply filler for Netflix to flex that the experiment works. (Micah and Izzy basically confirmed as much as promote the following season of Excellent Match, which they’ll be in with Micah’s new bestie, Jessica.) All of this takes away time that would’ve been spent giving season six’s contributors extra alternatives for closure, battle decision, and reflection. I’m nonetheless proud the Lacheys got here with receipts — I simply hope they use them higher subsequent time.

At one level throughout this episode, AD says her wedding ceremony had “such a lead-up for such a loopy letdown.” That’s form of how this reunion feels. Regardless of the Lacheys’ finest efforts, we don’t get sufficient revelations to justify a 97-minute runtime. Nick guarantees to deal with “each single scandal,” and whereas I congratulate the Lacheys for taking note of social media this season and having receipts locked and loaded, this forged is basically good at rambling or giving non-answers. There have been undoubtedly moments the place I leaned in, however there have been too many missed alternatives. If we had extra follow-ups and fewer filler, notably within the bloated second half of the episode, we might’ve gotten rather more perception. Don’t get me fallacious, this reunion was undoubtedly an enchancment from previous seasons! However I nonetheless suppose we deserve higher.
The reunion kicks off on the Love Is Blind stage, the place a dwell viewers which incorporates previous {couples} from the present is ready for the Lacheys (who present up after Nick disturbs my peace by telling Vanessa he would “boink” her based mostly on her voice) to herald the season-six forged.
Our first juicy bit of knowledge comes from Jeramey. He confirms that he’s courting Sarah Ann, who walks out to scattered applause. She and Jeramey have been collectively for nearly a 12 months and are actually dwelling collectively, which is the proper transition into the Lacheys’ announcement that Laura has made time to Zoom in from a piece journey in Barcelona. (“Can we clap?” Sarah Ann asks. “No,” Jeramey says.) When Vanessa brings up the Apple Watch idea, Jeramey fumbles and may’t clarify himself. He and Laura find yourself bickering about what occurred, and Sarah Ann jumps in and makes issues worse.
We see new footage of Sarah Ann telling Laura on the lake home that she’s sorry if she harm her “in any approach” by DMing Jeramey. Sarah Ann says many phrases, however essentially the most memorable ones are “blasé blah.” Laura warns her to watch out about trusting “clown robotic” Jeramey, who she says has been worrying about his picture and the way he “appears worse than Jimmy.” Again on the reunion, Jimmy just isn’t amused. In the meantime, Jessica admits to eradicating Sarah Ann from a gaggle chat with the opposite ladies within the forged. Chelsea additionally whacks Sarah Ann by revealing that she unfollowed all the ladies — however not their fiancés — and that she and Jeramey have damaged up at the very least two occasions. Sarah Ann and Jeramey insist their ups and downs helped them notice they’re actually in love.
Nevertheless, the Lacheys query how real Sarah Ann is. They level to a TikTok the place she says that actuality tv is “meant to entertain” and concludes, “We didn’t miss with this one, child.” Sarah Ann says she made the video due to hate she was getting on-line. I really feel like the truth that she’s nonetheless dwelling with Jeramey signifies that there are actual emotions concerned, so I might have most popular to grill Jeramey about Laura’s declare that he stated Sarah Ann was “completely not” an choice. However our hosts are fairly caught on the chance that this was all for leisure. In the end, Sarah Ann and Jeramey apologize to Laura, who says she’s been ready for accountability. Earlier than she logs off, Laura reveals that she’s courting somebody and points one other apology for the “bean dip” fiasco.
Trevor time! Nick and Vanessa expose him for having a girlfriend all through the experiment. (What a coincidence that he and Clay’s dad share each a reputation and a historical past of dishonest, eh?) The Lacheys learn out texts the place he professes his like to this woman, says he’ll marry her, and talks about having to “fake” on the present. She calls him “pumpkin.” I can’t perceive why Trevor and his mullet would willingly return to TV when the one excuse he can give you is that he was not technically courting this woman since he by no means requested her to be his girlfriend. He says this woman was his kind however they’d a poisonous relationship so he needed to search out somebody he wouldn’t usually go for. We’re imagined to consider that if Chelsea had chosen him, he would’ve been totally dedicated. Trevor provides that he wants “a number of remedy,” and was genuinely upset when he left the present. An unimpressed Jessica says Trevor might’ve higher defended Chelsea from the web’s wrath. (In a alternative of phrases I actually might by no means have predicted, she provides, “Even I’ve requested for a ceasefire on Jimmy.”) Flustered by questions, Trevor ultimately says Chelsea is the one particular person he owes a response to if she desires readability.
As certainly one of my co-workers astutely famous, Nick appears like he’s making a MLM pitch when he tells Sarah Ann and Trevor that collaborating in Love Is Blind is a “once-in-a-lifetime alternative.” He says approaching the present with fame in thoughts isn’t honest to the viewers, however particularly to different forged members who’re totally invested within the experiment. I nonetheless don’t essentially consider Sarah Ann got here onto the present planning to entertain us by stealing somebody’s man, however I see why she and Trevor are getting grouped collectively. It’s in Netflix’s finest curiosity to defend the present, so anybody who would possibly threaten the integrity of the idea have to be publicly reprimanded.
After Trevor makes a hasty exit, it’s time to test in with Clay and AD. Clay says he felt like “the largest dick” for saying no on the altar, and has apologized to AD’s mother and sisters. (I hope her little nieces have been included too.) “I like you, you’re the love of my life, and it was a mistake,” he says, however AD tells him he had his likelihood and blew it. Clay admits he did the method fallacious by not placing within the work first, and chokes up whereas speaking about being in remedy and eager to be a superb man. “You’re a good man,” she relents.
Nobody asks AD and Clay in regards to the Thanksgiving footage, or his monetary reasoning for saying no. We do be taught that Clay’s dad has stated sorry, in a roundabout way, however “in his approach.” There’s a candy second the place Clay reveals that Brett is the Love Is Blind participant he thought was an instance of what a husband must be. “It’s very humbling to listen to that, particularly Black man to Black man,” Brett responds, sharing that his personal mother and father didn’t have the most effective relationship.
In the meantime, Amy and Johnny are nonetheless obsessive about one another. We get a candy montage of their first 12 months of marriage. They’ve talked by disagreements, however nonetheless haven’t had an enormous combat. I’ve seen lots of people complaining that this couple is simply too boring or corny — and I undoubtedly wouldn’t describe them as “enjoyable and funky” like Vanessa did — however I nonetheless suppose they’re cute. Sue me!
The following part of the reunion is structured round viewer questions learn aloud by former Love Is Blind forged members. Right here, Netflix’s selections about the best way to fill time get extra complicated.
We solely had one couple get married this season. Contraception was certainly one of their greatest points, however the subject is barely introduced up shortly throughout this Q&A. Johnny says condoms have been “all the time an choice” however he simply didn’t know that a lot about contraception. “We figured it out and that’s all that issues,” Amy says, confirming that he didn’t have a vasectomy and she or he just isn’t on contraception.
Contemplating how a lot display screen time Jimmy and Chelsea had within the present, the reunion doesn’t deal with their relationship in a satisfying approach. Chelsea says she discovered Jessica’s bar dialog about Jimmy somewhat disrespectful and acknowledges she had insecurities through the present. Jimmy and Chelsea rehash the way in which she introduced up that he slept together with his pal; she says she will be able to’t apologize sufficient, they disagree about whether or not she hangs out along with her ex, and Jimmy says they “misheard one another in a number of issues.” That’s just about the extent of the reflection we get on their time as a pair, and most of it’s by the framework of their interactions with different folks. However judging by some bodily contact through the reunion, Jimmy and Chelsea appear to at the very least be pleasant now. How lengthy did it take them to reconcile? What’s their relationship like now? It’s an odd alternative to not prioritize these questions over stuff like whether or not Chelsea regrets that Megan Fox remark. (For what it’s value, Chelsea instructed EW that she and Jimmy tried courting after the season ended, didn’t converse for months after he broke up along with her once more, and now assist one another as pals.)
The reunion as a substitute introduces beef between Jessica and Jimmy that doesn’t get totally resolved. Jessica stated she thought they have been pals and was offended by his declare in an interview that she received a “good edit” and stormed out of their final date after 10 minutes. Jimmy doubles down, hedging that it was 45 minutes at most. After Jessica requires receipts, Netflix reveals us that the full time of that date was 133 minutes. But in spite of everything this buildup — AD and Clay’s heads have been swiveling forwards and backwards like they have been watching a tennis match — we don’t get to see Jessica vindicated or Jimmy reply to the proof.
It takes roughly an hour and ten minutes till Brittany and Kenneth lastly get requested a query, and it’s about whether or not having intercourse may need helped with the “crave.” Brittany affirms her dedication to attend till marriage. Kenneth maintains he was on his telephone due to his principal duties and is looking for a work-life stability. He provides that Netflix’s edit made it appear to be he wasn’t upset in regards to the breakup, however that everybody processes otherwise and his “emotionalism” was there. Brittany and Kenneth now converse each day, and are such shut pals that they’ve mentioned the best way to clarify their bond to potential companions.
The final main revelation is about Matthew, who declined to attend the reunion. After taking part in footage of Matthew telling Amber and AD the identical issues, Vanessa asks … if AD thinks Matthew instructed them the identical issues. For AD, the problem remains to be largely about how she opened up about her late father. However simply once I suppose we’re all on the identical web page about Matthew, AD admits to happening “two-ish” dates with him after the present and considering he was cute. (Clay pretends to not care.) Given how devastated AD was after the marriage, I can see why she might have needed to provide Matthew an opportunity when he reached out to apologize. However she says the connection in the end fizzled due to way of life variations.
By the way in which, this whole Q&A portion is repeatedly interrupted with life updates from former Love Is Blind forged members. I do suppose having former contributors ask questions, present response photographs, and share opinions on the season is enjoyable! However listening to them converse at size about pregnancies and new jobs at Netflix? Ehhh. That information might’ve simply been condensed into a brief montage of main updates, which might be swapped in for the clips of their proposals and weddings that performed initially of the episode. For anybody who doesn’t care about previous {couples} or hasn’t watched previous seasons, these segments are simply filler for Netflix to flex that the experiment works.

I’m nonetheless proud the Lacheys got here with receipts — I simply hope they use them higher subsequent time.
