Love Is Blind

The big day for the pod squad is officially here!
I admit I doubted Raven in the early episodes.
Imagine letting Bartise waste your time!
She was a visionary, ahead of her time.
And she has anamazing TikTok.
Anyway, enough chitchat.
Its time for me to speak or forever hold my peace:
Bartise is a cowardly rat.
Dont get me wrong: This is the greatest thing that could have happened to Nancy.
Talk about dodging a bullet with a dangly earring!
And then he has the gall to ask Nancy if she wants to talk about it at the altar?
Why would she ever want to do that, Bartise?
The only thing she likely wants to do is leave and cry!
Which is what she does before Bartise comes chasing after her at the urging of his mom.
I will never forgive him for speaking to Nancys mom like that, either!
Was Nancys family out of line?
But the way he tells Erendira to get lost because hes having a conversation with his fiancee … Bruh!
The fact that you think youre still engaged is so laughable.
How dumb can a person be?
Be fuckin for real!
She can handle it.
Bartise needs to butt out.
And when he starts up his wannabe law school debate with Erendira?
yo, shut up.
Why are you arguing with a mother after hurting her daughter?
And then, to make matters worse, pathetic Penny pops out of nowhere to protect her baby-ass son.
Let Bartise fight his own battles!
Despite acting like a toddler, he is indeed a grown man!
I have to laugh.
I wish I could wipe that smug look off Bartises face.
And readers, he has a point!
Nancy, as she laters reminds Bartise, says her one fear was being blindsided.
Bartise replies with perhaps the craziest thing weve heard from him yet.
He literally says to her, How can you flip the script so fast like that?
Nancys a better woman than I am.
She evenly reminds Bartise of what just went down: That he rejected her at the altar!
She was saying yes to a Bartise who was saying yes!
Now theyre done for good.
(Side note: Does anyone else think that Nancy sounds exactly like Hilary Duff?)
Ill be honest, I really didnt think things were going to get much wilder than Nancy and Bartise.
I predicted another rejection or two, but firmly believed they would take the crazy cake.
What Zanab said to Cole at the altar will go down inLove Is Blindhistory.
As she gets ready in the bridal suite, she expresses her concerns and doubts.
She tells her stepmom Beverly that throughout the entire process, shes just wanted it to work so badly.
She says, minutes before the wedding, that she isnt sure if shes ready to get married.
She tries to reassure herself, and us, that its normal to second-guess walking down the aisle.
Actively second-guessing the decision to marry the person waiting at the end?
Not sure how normal that is.
But I would be second-guessing marrying Cole based on his outfit alone.
It seems to me he suffers from Bartise bowtie syndrome.
Did anyone else catch her shaking her head?
I did not know, however, that she was going to unleash seven weeks of resentment onto Cole.
Lets roll back the tape.
The last two months have not been picture-perfect.
You have disrespected me.
You have insulted me.
You have critiqued me.
And for what its worth, you have single handedly shattered my self-confidence.
And I hate that you have had that kind of effect on me.
And the messed-up thing is that I know I love you.
I know I love you.
But everything in me and the logical part of my brain tells me that love shouldnt feel this way.
Love shouldnt hurt like this.
I cant marry you, and I dont.
My jaw is still on the floor.
I really didnt think Zanab had it in her!
Was this the right time or place?
But Beverly is still proud of her!
Marriage with Cole would have been miserable.
He doesnt have a headboard!
He has flies in his toilet!
His family wouldnt even meet her off-camera!
This is all on top of the fact that this couple is not a good match!
They may claim to love each other, but they definitely dont like each other.
We learnedlast episodethat Zanab harbors real contempt for Cole, and he definitely does not respect her.
Do I think Zanabs little speech was harsh?
Again, its hard to root for either of these individuals.
I dont know if Cole is more hurt by Zanab rejecting him, or the rejection in general.
Him retorting that Zanab had him fooled big time…
I once again have to laugh.
I deeply hope that Zanab learns how to love herself.
Witnessing her insecurities get the better of her was hard to watch.
Now onto the happy couples.
Of course Alexa and Brennon get married!
I am happy for them and think theyll be the next poster children for the show.
Move over Lauren and Cameron!
I bet these two have a real wedding later in life.
Maybe theyve already had it.
Is it a copout for me to say that I am just so bored by Colleen and Matt?
I didnt know which way this couple was going to go, and I didnt really care.
I wish them the best, truthfully!
Not loving someone by then is normal!
25 is quite young!
QuotingShrekin their wedding vows seems perfectly them, and thats all I can say about that.
So, once again, we ask the age-old question: Is love truly blind?
I hate to say it (do I?
), but the answer is clearly no!
