Were now seven episodes intoLove Is Blinds fifth season, and the mess iseverywhere.
And thats just one little corner of theLove Is Blindseason-five chaos!
Theres Uches growing conspiracy-theorist paranoia about Lydias involvement in the show.
Its a trash heap!
The mood is in shambles!
Lets talk about it.
Every new group has its own distinct flavor of romance and its own unmistakable whiff of catastrophe.
Dee Lockett:Where to even begin.
Thats Kris Jenner Bossing Up.
What do yall make of what has transpired thus far?
That episode four reveal?!
Its the first time this show has played with our sense of whats fair game to hide from viewers.
And yeah, its contributed to a sense of chaos thats different from previous seasons.
Nic Juarez:TheSurvivorcomparison is one Ive been thinking about for a few seasons now.
Look at Izzy, who had three (three!)
women to choose from in Lydia, Johnie, and Stacy.
It felt like watching someone scramble fifteen minutes before Tribal Council.
Season five thus far feels like its being defined by competing narratives.
Thats obviously because of Uche and Lydias prior history, but its also because of the casts personalities.
), there is a fair amount of damage control necessary when the show is over.
See you onPerfect Match.)
What did you both think of how JT and Taylors implosion played out?
(WHERE WAS THAT REVEAL FOOTAGE???)
KVA:Its one of the things thatstillmakes this particular dating series so much more compelling than most.
And we all have to live with it!
The JP-Taylor breakdown, to me, played out exactly the way it should have.
Taylor can decide to leave, even though they went to Mexico!
Aaliyah can leave, too!
Look at all this food everywhere!
DL:Okay, correction: They closed the loop too soonon Taylor.
What the hell happened there?
Be fucking for real.
This season is set in Houston and …
I dont know, Houston seems like a lot to me.
DL:Houston bad!
And now Drakes a resident!?!?!
I cant tell if its the city or the producers.
but the casting this season felt especially partial toward a specific pop in: Hot Hustlers.
Theres just something so compelling so relatable?
about watching adults self-sabotage while thinking theyre in full control.
Izzy masking his financial troubles?
Milton lacking home training?
And dont get me started on Uches inability to recognize himself as a walking stop sign.
If we look at the ensuing chaos, theres a case to be made for includingmoreexes.
Lydia spilling all the tea on Uche to Aaliyah?
Uche proposing to an empty pod?
And Im sorry, but his claims that Lydia is a stalker had me screaming at my television.
The text messages of screenshots of her viewing Instagram Stories do not hold up in court.
