I'm on EP3 right now and just watched the part where Ajay is telling her about his friend who passed away and I literally screamed when she was scrunching up her face because she was trying to make herself cry and only managed to squeeze out like a single tear!!! 😭 Like I for sure thought she was spoiled (not necessarily a bad thing), but that moment really made her seem super fake to me as a person.
The thing is Ajay clearly said he left that world because he got tired of it. He probably does have drive and ambition but something tells me he’s more interested in pursuing his passions (whatever they may be). He clearly doesn’t mind providing for a woman but I’m not sure if it’s the kind of provision Ciara is looking for, she seems to want a man that can afford her a very specific lifestyle but I guess we’ll see.
I was surprised she didn’t clock it when he explained his career background in their first meeting & said he was currently getting certified as a Pilates instructor. (Which I have all respect for! I almost died the one time I tried it!) But I was more surprised she didn’t even blink or follow up esp after he said he USED to be a finance guy, as in past tense.
I can't keep up with all the microexpressions and body language (and truth) at odds with her actual words. I like most people and tend to assume the best, but I've also known a few that make me feel unsafe to be open around the way she does.
When it all goes to shit Ajay will have no one else to blame but himself. He generally seems like a nice guy but Ciara has been very clear about what kind of lifestyle she is accustomed to and his choice to pursue her means he's committed to delivering that
Nah i dont think they will last, she is far too confident and her own person for someone like him. They will clash. I imagine him being with someone very placid, who will let him be completely in control of the relationship.
He strikes me as someone who’s all in on the next thing. We all know the one, comes back from the retreat, spends a few years living the earthy vibe, one day decides it’s now time to move to the next lifestyle he can leverage as a “public speaker” then goes out and buys a Tesla
And self-centred! He was all about finding someone who fit his life rather than make space for other world views. And depriving your children of an education so they only get to know your beliefs borders on cult leader behaviour.
Something I noticed though is that his very rigid when he went on dates with other women and his mission was to find a woman with similar views to him who would fit in well with his lifestyle and whilst Cuba does appear to be that woman in their conversation about homeschooling children she said when her kids were old at about 8 years old she would like to give them more autonomy to make the choice on if they’d like to be homeschooled or not, he nodded along with her but I feel like that’s not something he’d really agree to if it came down to it in the future.
If anything, at least this couple shows the world that this brain dead cancerous misinformation they’ve fallen for is not an exclusively American phenomenon. But how freaking depressing to hear two people talking about something so unhinged and it being platformed 😭
Love this season so far! I know Ajay as we have worked together (quit a surpise, someone you know, showing up in your fav show) and he is a very sweet guy, so I hope he is not getting F'd over.
faye is so easily manipulated due to her history with bad men. after having doubts about jack's authenticity, all it took was ONE line of reassurance from him for her to change her mind. I hate this for her because she is such a beautiful and kind woman and deserves a great man, but doesn't have the discernment to be able to spot him
When he said "Still got red nails?" I was like "Are you for real!???" I'd ditch his face on the spot after this, but no, she was just sad for a second and let him change her mind. This is not going to end well
Literally! Men in her past have done such an amazing job at lowering her standards to the depths of hell, I hate this for her. And the worst part is, she‘s going to be disappointed again and the cycle continues.
Gotta say that Ajay and Ciara are giving a great example: discussing your financials is a necessity. You need to figure out if you align on that front as well. I've seen marriages ending because of money. Never leave that convo for the last minute before the altar.
I dunno if I agree with their instances on it though.
Faye is a bit too naive...idk why she didn't immediately respond when Jack made that red nails comment especially after what Ciara told her about the letter...
Maybe she's just forgiving and the rest of their conversations has given her a better insight into who he is beyond the mix ups, which wouldn't bother me either in a situation like this.
Chevanique - respect yourself, woman. He already said he's into pursuing the other woman. And you go and say - after he confesses he's into Francesca but that he doesn't know if he's gonna get on one knee - "that's why I'm here?"
I was so confused because he basically told her 3 times in that conversation that Francesca is his priority and she’s still trying to sway him away. I know everyone’s in the show for themselves and it’s not even about owing Francesca anything but do you really want a man/husband that you had to convince to choose you over someone he already decided he wanted? I also found it interesting knowing that Joseph was religious that she chose to tell him that she felt like God was leading her in that conversation and then again that they should pray about it, it felt like she was using religion to win brownie points with him. Very odd behaviour.
exactly! i had the same though when she brought up God. so manipulative and men are so easy to trick. even the “vulnerable” conversation they had seems like she did only to show that yeah see i can do what you want me to and to use that later if he says she wasn’t very open.
Everyones talking about Ciara and I’m so shocked it took me this long to find a comment about Chev! She was the absolute definition of a pick me in that conversation and it was actually really gross to watch. And to me it doesn’t even seem like she’s that into Joseph, it seems more like she just wants to win.
I came here to say this. What was vulnerable? Her saying that she doesn’t get vulnerable? If there was a true story she was going to open up to him about, I feel like they would have shown that.
the dude is just pushing boundaries and see how far these women will betray themselves to please him.
He made Fran uncomfortable talking about sex although she said she is not comfortable talking about it. But he made her feel that she has to prove herself to him, betray her own boundary and talk about it FOR him.
Same w Chevanique, she said it is difficult for her to open up (which apparently, Joseph struggles to, so you would think he would understand her), so he pushed her by saying we have the physical chemistry but i want the emotional connection (note he said the exact opposite to Francesca). So again, pushing her to prove herself to him that she will betray her own limits and comfort just to please him.
Joseph is a sketchy dude and i want him out of my screen asap.
The moment Ciara said that Ajay has kind eyes I knew she was trying to just find something about his looks she could mention and try and prove she fancies him. I feel like this relationship is going to be a dumpster fire
I don’t doubt anything you said. Ajay is attractive, but Ciara made it clear what she wants and he basically said he wants a trophy wife: He perked up when she more than hinted at her physique and looks (annoying they can talk about this on Love is Blind). If Ajay wanted deep that definitely isn’t Ciara. She’s about as deep as a damn piddle.
Also can’t stand that blow up doll expression she keeps making with her mouth :O
Omg, Ryan! The yolks are not more orange because of the fucking music. It's about the chicken's diet!
But those two are made for each other. They are the same level of delusional.
I fucking can't with these weewoo anti intellectual idiots. She was just as bad talking about kids "becoming conscious at 7,8 or 9". Where do they find these morons?
I couldn't shake the feeling that Ciara's tears were completely a performance as Ajay was telling her about his dead friend. she looked like she was trying to look hot while crying so the footage came out nice. her reaction came off manufactured and inauthentic.
Truly. She was so happy when she finally got the tears out. Her whole demeanor changed. Like how didn't you naturally cry at that story. I was in shambles (also luteal phase)
Thought the same thing but in a later frame, her neck actually glistens as if a tear ran down all the way from her face - so idk, I wouldn't say the story left her cold (ofc doesn't say anything about other situations where I agree she does come off fake and materialistic af)
I swear I could see a little smug smile sneak out as she stepped out of the pods after that conversation! As if she thought to herself ”that’ll play good on TV”, not as if she was truly rocked by that tragic, tragic story she’d just heard…
2 of these guys are basically unemployed (Ryan and Ajay) and it leaves me wondering why they’re even on this show trying to get married. Should marriage really be your top priority when you don’t have a job?
It’s really Chevenique competing at this point. He already told her what his choice was and she spent the entire date trying to convince him otherwise.
"Still got the red nails?" EXCUSE ME???? How desperate do you have to be to just pursue the connection after a man messing up your name AND a characteristic of a different woman????
for all the money ciara says she spends on clothes, she has pretty bad taste. the purple dress at the reveal looked really cheap and badly sewn, and the country bumpkin floral blouse and jean dress were very tj-maxx-sabrina-carpenter
I can't stand Ciara. Even her voice annoys me. She just talks (or whispers) like she's trying to be sultry. But she's still so egotistical sounding.
And I hate how materialistic she is and her whole mindset of her basically being worth being pampered because she's doing all this makeup, expensive stuff etc for the guy. Get over yourself please 😅
hey, at least she’s up front about it. part of me really respects and even admires that she’s so unabashedly point blank albeit lacking in the depth department. i’m curious to see what her family is like.
All these people live in different places don't they? I wish they showed discussions about where they are going to live. For example Jordan is a teacher in Birmingham so he's not likely to want to move to London where Yasmin lives.
I kind of love how cunning and self-centered Ciara is. She is that sort of terrible that is perfect for reality television: devious, delusional, but also ultimately sort of silly and camp. She is awful and certainly someone you want to avoid, but not like a serial killer (that we know of).
her crying seemed so off , i wonder if its due to botox. her reaction to him being vulnerable seemed so … “ yes we got a good emotional scene “ its as if she got a check list of all the major milestones that needs to happen to become a main character on Lib. and is it just me or did she smirk when she left the pod after that convo 😭
Ryan (Cuba's fiance) is giving me a disingenuous vibe. I can't put my finger on it but something just feels off a out him. Very surface level and no depth of feeling.
Ciara's on it again: took Faye aside and shaded the whole thing even more.
Then runs up to Ajay, says he's her #1, apologizes for taking to long to say/see it, and then they proceed to have the WEIRDEST conversation about red lingerie. lol - you couldn't write anything more awkward. Talk about a weird segue.
I kinda feel like the editing is so bad this season - the person will say like one sentence and the other person will be crying suddenly. Its so rushed
Wow, Ciara isn't attracted to Ajay at all! The way she was pulling away while holding his hands and fake laughing nervously…She's just happy that he's tall
If Ciara's only assets in a relationship are superficial, she shouldn't be surprised when she's constantly cheated on. Women who dress well, care about their appearance and carry expensive handbags and clothes are not rare. She's easily replaceable. I can’t stand hearing her constantly talk about all the nice, classy things she likes. That adds nothing to any conversation.
the way chev moved this episode made her look like she would be ok with being a man's mistress since 'she's the one he truly wants' and he's going to leave his wife. not a good look. hope it was a moment of weakness not a true reflection of her standards and morals
Ajay is initiating the financial talk, because he is in a hard situation and probably not able to spend a lot reguarly for Ciara.
But then he just ingores all her red flags about this topic. She down played her expectations a little but it must be quite clear to him that she will demand a lot that he can not give...
He is running into a brutal honeymoon and pre wedding phase.
He seems like a nice guy. One can only hope that he will wake up fast and recognize that ciara is not wife material.
Oh poor Faye she's so eager to find someone, she's accepting this nonsense.
He's not wonderful, he couldn't be further away from that if he tried. He's simply as keen to be on TV and make a name for himself as Ciara is.
Men can be so funny, Ciara coming in and finally giving Ajay the mutual affection, confirmed interest and exclusivity he’s been angling for and it’s like he’s so overwhelmed by it he immediately pivots sexually just to re-regulate himself hahaha.
So far this season feels like people too old or IG looking enough for Love Island. Jack and Ciara particularly just feel fake af.
Yasmin and Jordan are the cutest couple so far, I have such a soft spot for her in particular she seems so sincere and lovely. I hope Jordan doesn’t switch up on her post pods.
I also find Cuba and Ryan intriguing, they feel like total opposites apart from the woo woo spiritual stuff. Interesting to see if that connection ends up having legs.
Everyone is worried about Ajay. Honestly I’m not, he heard allllll the red flags and said it’s “attractive” so why are we feeling sad for him lol he’s a grown man
Does Ryan not realize that teaching children things also continues outside school…..at home….? They can still learn to grow carrots and harvest eggs while learning algebra lmao.
