Well, that was anticlimactic.
At the end of their two-and-a-half-month experience (OnLove is Blind, its an experiment.
And Ryann, Riah, Kat, and Roxanne, with varying degrees of enthusiasm and eloquence, accepted.
Now, was there ever really a world in which Ryann and James didnt get engaged?
Whatever, Im happy for them.
As for the others?
Roxanne still doesnt believe in marriage.
Trey and Riah still have vastly different visions for their immediate futures.
And Alex is still the worst.
Kat asserts that Alex has been getting better at being vulnerable and expressing his emotions.
I think its bold of her to assume Alex has emotions at all.
Right up to the getting-ready montage before decision time, Alex is still confused and conflicted.
He is too conflicted to bother ironing his shirt, even.
I was, in fact, much more surprised that Alex proposed than I was that Roxanne said yes.
Roxanne may have a near-pathological terror of the institution of marriage, but she cannot quit Antonio.
Pulling out her handwritten note, Rox says, I was so nervous I made it origami.
Antonio: I didnt know you knew how to do that.
Roxanne: I dont; I had to watch a video.
This is how people who are in love talk.
Its all sweet nonsense and inside jokes.
Its also Antonio repeatedly assuring Rox that no matter what, its going to be okay.
This is true love, whether or not she likes to wear her engagement ring.
Now, will they go the distance?
This is, Im pretty sure, the one question anyone tuning into the reunion episode actually wanted answered.
But it was a little like theArrested Developmentjoke with the dead dove in the fridge.
I dont know what I expected.
Antonio is still working hard at becoming the girlboss Roxanne knows is buried deep inside him somewhere.
Everything is about as fine with their relationship as it ever is.
In lieu of follow-ups, she offers deliberately inoffensive anecdotes from her own marriage.
Rather than asking cast members to describe their feelings, Vanessa prefers to sum them up herself.
Is James supposed to say yes?
Thats really specific, James laughs awkwardly.
He takes his cues from the ol ball and chain.
Otherwise, hes just Ken.
One gets the impression that Vanessa is trying to be a little bit shocking but not rude.
Lisa and Brian have a baby son named Mason.
The more you know.
