You’ve heard the phrase “love at first sight,” but what about “love at first sound” Netflix’s hit show Love Is Blind sets out to answer that question with a social experiment. A group of single men and women date each other, fall in love, and get engaged — all without seeing the other person. Follow along as Uproxx ranks each couple and recaps the best tear-jerking and cringe-worthy moments from season 4.
(WARNING: Spoilers for up to episode 5 of Love Is Blind season 4 will be found below.)
The pods are officially open and a new batch of singles are looking for love. After only ten days, and LOTS of drama, five couples emerged engaged and ready to see their fiancé for the first time. Next, they spent a week getting to know each other in paradise and putting their compatibility to the test. Is the connection they formed in the pods strong enough to make it to the altar Let’s find out.
To start things off, let’s recap who the couples are coming out of episodes 1 through 5. After getting to know each other through the pods and forming a connection which led to a proposal after only ten days, we’ve got Tiffany and Brett, Kwame and Chelsea, Marshall and Jackelina, Zack and Irina, and Paul and Micah. Okay, let’s dive in on ranking the couples
It’s hard to even figure out where to start with these two. The times Irina visibly recoiled when Zack tried to touch her The time when she flat out said “I’m treating you poorly” and then continued to do so Or what about when she bluntly admitted: “I was gonna leave you right after I saw you but I stayed and gave it a chance” (And as Zack retorted, she didn’t even give him a chance). It was clear toward the end of the time in the pods, Zack was basing a lot of his decision on his first impression of Irina and her reaction to hearing about his upbringing.
Though I’m still not letting him off the hook for his absolutely terrible proposal song — I admit I had to skip through most of it, I couldn’t handle the cringe — he was right to be concerned about Irina’s maturity level. She used every opportunity to talk poorly about the other girls on the show and couldn’t even bring herself to have a serious conversation with Zack after leaving the pods (like when she covered her face with a pillow when Zack asked her if she was attracted to him). Thankfully, Zack and Irina’s relationship didn’t last long, but it looks like Zack is going to try to make good with previous flame Bliss and Irina is, unsurprisingly, now gunning for her best friend’s man. Clearly, she’s never heard of girl code before. — Carolyn Droke
