So many posts on Love is Blind I need everyone to hear me when I say this: Edmond is not a villain, he is not a problem, and he doesn’t need to be hidden from TV Edmond is very clearly Autistic or AuDHD The scene at the end was an Autistic meltdown Please give this man some grace and compassion!

It seems like Edmond had a neurodivergent meltdown I hope they both can recognize that and Kalaybriah can have patience with him #loveisblind

I’m just thinking about how Annie and Nick bonded over being homophobic Makes me wonder how she would have treated Brendan I think he’s better off without her I hope he realizes that so he can get over her #loveisblind

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Madison says she felt like she’s not enough, she felt sick Joe dismissed it, saying he made her feel good during sex Madison is sensing how Joe feels and he’s half dismissing her and half placating her I think Joe will say no at the altar, if not before #loveisblind

Kalibriyah wants Edmond to kill a bug for her, and protect her from men at the club He told her he’s not that kind of guy, he’s going to choose life and safety Edmond wants to have sex before marriage an Kalibriyah doesn’t These differences can be worked out, so I hope they do! #loveisblind

Okay here it comes, more shallow behavior from Love is Blind cast Joe saying he usually dates thinner women Struggled to connect seeing Madison to their emotional connection She asks did you think she’s hot or no He said no, yeah I think you’re hot Not boding well for Madison 😢 #loveisblind

My predictions watching first 5 episodes of Love is Blind: I hope I’m wrong with these, but I’m a therapist specializing in helping people heal from toxic relationships, and I see the signs Ali and Anton: Anton gets too possessive 💔 1/3 #loveisblind

Wow so Kacie completely lied and gaslit Patrick I had a feeling she wasn’t being sincere in her connection with him This was sooo messed up of her to do Yikes 🚩🚩

Whew the rollercoaster of Love is Blind! I was so happy to see the reveal with Megan and Jordan go so well! And now so sad for Patrick! I don’t think he’s getting that Kacie isn’t into him 😢 But really I think he wanted to be with Anna so I’m still hoping for that! #loveisblind

Mike tells Megan I don’t want to say anything bad about anyone, or that you’re making a huge mistake but you are He manipulated that conversation to make her second guess I’m happy Megan listened to her intuition and chose Jordan! I hope she doesn’t break his heart and Luca’s #loveisblind

Nick walked in the door and saw the table And screamed “we’re getting married” He absolutely did see Brendan sitting there He just didn’t care or have the awareness to understand how the guys felt about him Then he tried to approach Brendan?! Nick. Sit down. We all see who you are #loveisblind

Jordan tells Megan that he wants her to choose what’s best for you 🥰 He says he appreciates her transparency Acknowledges how big it is asking her to join his family And she slips out an I love you! This is how consent and honest communication fosters a healthy relationship 🥰🥰👏🏼👏🏼 #loveisblind

Mike is showing Megan he’s serious about her by saying I’m putting my shoes on and I’m going to walk out this door So manipulative He did say he’s used to getting his way, like I predicted 🚩🚩 #loveisblind

Annie says the connection with Nick wasn’t there at first “It was hard and fast” “It’s perfect” “It’s what I want” She is literally describing how Nick love bombed her I’m so glad Brendan is fighting for her #loveisblind

Patrick chose his words so carefully “I’m nervous because it’s too good to be true” “There isn’t another girl in here I would have proposed to” Dude! Don’t propose to someone else just to get engaged or just to stay on TV!! I think he’s lying to himself as much as he is to Kacie #loveisblind

Nick said Kait “came at me with daggers” The fuq?! What a liar Then tells Annie he loves her So she says she should break off her connection with Brendan, who actually seems good? Ugh I’m so mad #loveisblind

Nick told Kait he loved her and told Annie he wanted to marry her Then broke up with Kait because she doesn’t have a relationship with God?! If it was that important to him, he should have asked that day one I think it was an excuse to break up with Kait - NOT okay #loveisblind

Megan says, “If I can’t have kids then what is my purpose in life” Having children is not the only purpose in life!! I’m glad Jordan reassured her in that but my god I would love for society to stop with that rhetoric #loveisblind #motherhood

Kacie, international TV is not the place for having phone sex through the wall She’s trying to prove herself to Patrick in the wrong ways, while he’s still into Anna The way to build a connection is through sharing emotions, vulnerability, trust, we haven’t seen that from them yet #loveisblind

Patrick has every right to feel insecure about Kacie having an ex she left hanging But I can’t shake that his concern about her commitment has more to do with his own projection, and missing Anna, than it does with Kacie #loveisblind #relationships #projection

Nick asks Annie how do you feel about your kids being LGBTQ She says I’ll love my kids no matter what Ma’am that is not support! 😡 She says she would ask her kids, do you know what you’re getting into, signing up for🤮 Signing up for?! Then Nick and Annie agree that being queer is a fad! 🤬🤬 🚩🚩

Mike seems to enjoy having the upper hand He likes to be in control of the narrative He’s probably used to getting his way It’s a red flag for me 🚩 I also think Megan would end up getting bored with Jordan, and think she needs to heal from her exes #loveisblind

Patrick said Kacie was his number two Didn’t want to hear what Brendan had to say about her It looks like Patrick is trying to convince himself to choose Kacie so he can choose someone That’s not fair to Kacie, or to Patrick It should be a hell yeah not sure I guess that will work #loveisblind

Kalaybria and Edmond are the absolute cutest!! They share their love for each other so deeply and honestly, and fully 🥰🥰 This is a love to be celebrated, that will last! #loveisblind

Right after Nick talks about living with Annie He tells Kait he is secure in their connection and he LOVES her?! It’s one thing to like two different people It’s another to completely lead them both on and imply to them they’re both your number one 🚩🚩 Nick has so many red flags #loveisblind

The chemistry and banter between Annie and Brendan is so precious! I love how much they laugh together! Nick gives me the ick, they laugh but it’s all sexual innuendos Him saying “our” felt like a love bomb Annie please pick Brendan! #loveisblind

I love to see the AuDHD representation in Edmond His racing, kissing the floor, being vulnerable, he is just so himself and I love that 🥰 And Madison’s disability rep And Jordan talking about his son and his disability rep Keep it up, Love is Blind! 🥰 #loveisblind

Joe’s reaction to meeting Madison felt very stunted He might be lying about being attracted to her or still thinking about her eye disease I hope this isn’t the case! She is gorgeous and deserves someone to care for her when she loses her eyesight My spidey sense is up with Joe 🚩 #loveisblind

So Anna ghosts Patrick and Blake And now Blake ghosts Megan? Two wrongs don’t make a right, bro People really should take the time to say goodbye, when it’s emotionally safe #loveisblind #ghosting

Wow Mike Type 1 Diabetes = genetic Type 2 = sometimes can be changed with diet, very difficult for people So insensitive Huge red flags 🚩 #loveisblind

The irony of Anna to ghost Patrick and Blake after talking about not ghosting people I wonder if the vulnerability was too much, the decision between them, not telling her mom, about to get engaged, the stress of it all Whatever it was, Anna should have told them before she left #loveisblind

Patrick and Anna connecting is so sweet 🥰 She is putting herself out there, feeling vulnerable, in a way that makes me think she hasn’t done before We can see Patrick being excited but I wish he vocalized it more to her to give her the reassurance she needs #loveisblind #vulnerability

It’s weird how badly Kaycie wants to know Patrick’s ethnicity Its giving she wants to judge how he looks or stereotype Her brother only dates Asian girls, other brother also in interracial couples Feels more like tokenizing than an actual connection the way she’s framing this #loveisblind

It’s so beautiful how Edmund has been able to forgive his parents and have a relationship with them AND it is okay that Kalaybria doesn’t have a relationship with her dad The way she talks about him shows she has forgiven him and doesn’t hold resentment Which is all she needs 🥰 #loveisblind

Nick making fun of kids falling, laughing when they get hurt, loving the pickup line about being a tidal wave of love (so wanting to destroy a woman?) All of these are red flags about him not caring about other people’s feelings 🚩 #loveisblind #dating #redflags

The way Joe responds to Madison about her diagnosis that she might go blind “I want to help my wife with any problems she might have” He removes her from the equation, instead of saying “I would be there for you” I don’t trust he accepts her fully and would be there for her It’s a 🚩 red flag

Sparkle Megan builds her connections differently with different men: Mike: lifestyle, success Blake: shared experiences Jordan: humor She doesn’t show vulnerability with Mike, who she has the lifestyle she wants She might hold back with him if he reminds her of her exes and has unhealed trauma

Anton and Aline are sweet together… But some of Anton’s word choice is possessive which is a red flag 🚩 Getting engaged is the “right decision for me and you” “You are an engaged woman” And the amount of times he calls her “baby” #loveisblind #dating #redflags

Anton and Aline sharing similar experiences is another beautiful way to form a connection 🥰 #loveisblind #dating

Joe and Madison planning this karaoke 7-11 flaming hot cheeto date is a great example of being playful and creative A great way to build a fun connection 🥰

The deep, vulnerable, emotional sharing between Kalaybria / KB and Edward / Ed is a playbook on how to build a beautiful connection 💕🥰

“I’m still single because men are intimated by me” Translation: “I’ve made my personality my success, and I have work to do on myself to build a true connection with someone” And/or: “I’m extremely picky and looking for success from others” #loveisblind

Anna says to a guy “You don’t sound like you’re homophobic or racist…” He’s like oh gosh no Okay let’s hope he’s not, but also if you want a solid answer on this, ask more specific questions! #loveisblind #dating
