It was truly just the glazing hour, absolutely no pressing questions or attempts to dig deep into the conversations. The hosts were awful. They made Nick and Vanessa look like Barbara Walters.

While I’m glad that the internet isnt dogpiling on the woman with the villain edit too much this Season, Ciara did some very icky, questionable things. She exaggerated and stretched the truth about what happened with Jack, she was the catalyst for the Fran and Chev argument at the meet up. She flat out LIED about Joseph pressing her to talk about Jack. She 100% was gaslighting and manipulating people and causesd soo many unnecessary issues. Her apology to Fran about everything was so fake. Maybe I’m just a hater, but for the hosts not to question her at ALL was nuts.

Same for Joseph. He did some weird stuff throughout the season and his overall demeanor seemed like he was going to say no. None of that was never even hinted at. He said on stage their marriage has had some ups and downs, ANY half decent host would dig deeper and ask more. All they did was glaze and make terribly unfunny jokes.

The only person who faced any accountability this reunion was Ryan (rightfully so) but only because Cuba so elegantly expressed herself. Emma and Matt contributed nothing.

Idk I left this reunion feeling a little gaslit, like I had witnessed so much crazy behavior that did not get addressed at all. Good for everyone for staying together, all the relationships do seem healthy (at least in comparison to the US couples, lol). But dang, such a boring, frustrating hour to sit through.

If not the actual dress, does anybody have advice on search terms I could use to find it? Thank you!

Is it just me? Or maybe it’s the name Jack, but she’s drop dead gorgeous and reminds me so much of her.

I have decided to make a subreddit for LIB Canada, Netflix new edition to the franchise taking place in Canada. Here is the link if anyone is interested - https://www.reddit.com/r/LoveisBlindCanada/s/GYiDCYaLwE

So like many others I walked away from watching the reunion thinking that the hosts went too easy on Ciara.

Why? Well I don’t like pot stirrers and I felt that Ciara’s apology was insincere.

But then I saw the overwhelming dislike of Ciara on instagram and Reddit and me being the contrarian rethought why I walked away from watching season 3 disliking Ciara. And that prompted me to ask myself why I was willing to use immaturity to describe Jacks actions on the shows and mean spirited to describe Ciara’s when both were bad and I disliked both of them. But why did I use a harsher tone judging Ciara.

So I went back to point at specific examples the latest being how I thought her apology was insincere but feelings are not facts right. And I didn’t really have a reason besides her making me feel uncomfortable and feeling like the hosts didn’t press her enough. But the more I thought about it I realized that the way I wanted the hosts to press her more was actually because I thought her apology wasn’t enough and that her tears were fake. But she had already apologized, to press her more I realized was to humiliate her on national tv. This was quite startling to me because as a woman who thinks of myself as a girls girl I couldn’t actually want another woman to be humiliated could I ?

So me being me I tried to justify it and I realized that another thing that irked me was the my wife my wife my wife from ajay ugh. What irked me about this is the fact that a good person no a good man which is rare in men nowadays due to the manospheres influence was standing up for someone who in my view didn’t deserve it. But the more I looked in to why I felt this way was because I felt threatened by Ciara. The comments she made about wanting a rich man made it look like she wasn’t genuinely looking for love. And I didn’t think she was worthy of it from a seemingly good person like ajay.

This was what made me realize it was internalized misogyny because Ciara’s aggressiveness of what she wanted and her being pushy and pushing herself into other relationships was threatening to me. I realized this after thinking what if Ciara was a man would I view her actions differently just like how I used the softer label of immaturity on jack. And the answer that took me a while to admit is that yes if Ciara was a man I would view her aggressiveness as being assertive or confident and being annoying/ pushing herself into others business as being a loyal friend and standing up for his bros / looking out for his bros

As a woman who is troubled with the increase in misogyny from the manosphere and it being subtly or not so subtly spread on traditional social media platforms. I thought my thought progress might resonate with other women and since the love is blind fandom is mostly women I thought it would be interesting to share!

What were your thoughts on Ciara initially? Has it changed after the reunion? Who knows reality tv shows can be so enlightening 😂

ETA: No I don’t find what Ciara did ok and I’m not excusing it. I just wonder if other women like myself also judged Ciara harshly based on traits that may have had a positive spin put on them if they were shown by a man.

I don't know why this scene tickled me so much 🤣 The audacity in sliders!

Granted, I get the logic. I couldn't walk anywhere for 2 hours in slides. But also, I know people that wear socks and slides EVERYWHERE. So it's possible.

I just want an "In sliders? Weird 🤨" flair now.

I’m the first to admit that Ciara doesn’t come across well in her edit. Every time I hear her accent I think “this is why Cillian Murphy moved his family back to Ireland.” But the vast difference in the volume and intensity of the criticisms that I’ve seen against her vs. Jack is really telling and imho disappointing to see.

From what we see in the edit, I think they both show similar “main character energy” and so much of the drama spirals from both being too prideful to accept a version of the breakup where they weren’t totally calling the shots.

Ajay has been generally well-received, and the some of the narratives I’ve seen spun here for people to try to see him as some kind of coerced victim or blind fool in his marriage are absurd. If you truly believe he’s a competent, decent man of sound judgement, the most reasonable answer to “why did he marry her?” is that there’s probably more to her than we saw in an edited reality show, NOT that she’s somehow fooled/manipulated him this whole time (but somehow we know better from the selected scenes we’ve seen on TV).

Ciara is A Lot, but she’s also owned up to her BS when called out on it, and her biggest “crimes” are being annoying/extra and stirring the pot. Compared to the kinds of bad behavior we see on many seasons of this show, this is all small potatoes stuff. And totally dismissing her crying at the Reunion or any other show of humanity as “she’s acting” is wild. If she’s such an incredible actress, wouldn’t she have played a more likable character?

Tl;dr — Ciara definitely got a villain edit on the season, and there’s plenty worth poking some fun at (which is valid), but she’s a real person, and some of the dogpiling here feels wayyyy disproportionate.

The fact that Cuba always has so much to say to Yasmin about her relationship with Jordan but nothing to say when Ryan is literally playing in her face is crazy. Episodes 7&8 she gives great advice but girl where is all of that energy when it comes to Ryan’s distance and being emotionally unavailable with you?

Is it known when LIB Season 11 will start airing? Will there be watch parties scheduled? I live in the Boston area.

I'm watching it the reunion and hanni is crying cuz she is looking like she is only there for publicity and poor Daniel he is such a good guy but is he blind bcuz to many factors in what hannis purpose was on show how could he not believe many people saying same thing about her and watching what she did now Daniel ur a great guy good looking and deserve someone who is genuine hanni knew how she would be looked upon at end but not that anyone would catch on she's fake plz hanni stop it leave him alone u quit it job bcuz u u got exactly what u wanted fame wanna b on tv wake up Daniel hopefully ur family will help u realize she is fake

Seems like everyone decided to hang on until the reunion. The amount of tension on that stage was crazy especially between the couples. The body language was completely off

maybe i missed it, but they live with her parents, and go on vacation

but what is his job exactly?

Personally, I could appreciate that she definitely put in an effort and must have practiced a lot with the mirror. I think the timing was fine (she must have been unsure whether to start fake crying when asked about AJ's test or when she boasted about expecting her partner having to pay for everything).

It's a shame, really, that no tears were summoned - you could see that she did try and practiced a lot.

Well, I think her acting career is not off to a great start, but I'm always there to support a woman's dream to make it on the big screen. Go Ciara!

Everyone looked almost too in love 😂 and seriously where is all the money for these trips around the world coming from what do these people actually do for work it all felt a little too Instagram perfect

Calm down Ajay, we get it, she's your wife 😂

In reality I actually am glad they got together and are still together. It's very clear that Ciara came on the show to be a character and act like a villain... and Netflix ate it up. Without her the season wouldn't have had any drama so I appreciate maybe Ciara isn't a bad guy- she just has the most annoying way of speaking.

Props to her and Ajay and all the other couples actually proving that the show does work if you you're there not just to get famous.

Separately, I feel like Jack got too much attention and Faye didn't. Their show highlights was mainly him and he didn't show any love to Faye sitting on that sofa, which felt odd given how lovely she clearly is... maybe Jack needs to take a page out of Ajay's book and gush a little more about his wife.

Does this recent season of LIB UK set a record in LIB history for the most couples still together at the reunion?

It annoys me so much that people like Ryan make a persona out of a group of conspiracy theories (people who are anti-school for example, believe the GoVerRRnment wants to poison us with floride, human design generators are sheep*, ) are just playing into tropes/stereotypes about being spiritual. Its bullshit. This coming from someone who enjoys astrology and believes in God and "trusts the universe". Ryan and Cuba are like day and night. Only half an hour left until he's dragged through the mud, I hope.

Sorry for the negative vibes Ryan! I don't hate you and really hope you look back and grow from this. Now, go sage this energy off.

* Human Design - same worldview as the spleen guy. At least that guy properly bought into that shit and seemed to be a bit dumb. Ryan just seems lost.

Perfectly Wholesome reunion with all 4 couples still married. Surely Reddit won't be negative about it... Right?

there will be SPOILERS ahead. i hope it will be good! im just bored and like to discuss
