Season 8 released its final episode today, the one where all the failed participants talk about why they’re not the successful participants and the successful couples talk about why they’re not the failed couples. This season saw one couple survive the length of the season– It was Daniel and Taylor all along, who knew!?
Even with Taylor’s weird (possibly narcissistic?) Instagram accusation, the couple remained together and, this surprised me after I gave them about a 0.05% chance after her mistrust was exposed, I started to like them during the episode featuring their parents.
The Villain. Dave. Need I say more? He came in as a player and left with his tail between his legs. His unfair judgment of Lauren was apparent and even when the couples all met for the first time and he pulled Lauren aside to drunkenly admit his mistake, Lauren didn’t budge. Atta girl!
The Hero. George Floyd? OK, that’s a joke… I’m not sure there’s a hero this season. Did any of you have “Mentions George Floyd” on your Love Is Blind bingo card? What a twist. If I had to pick a favorite woman, I’d go with Madison– she seemed so sweet, thoughtful, genuine, deep, and intent on making her life better– and for the dude, I guess I’d go with Ben. I like that his faith in God seems to be important even if he was willing to compromise and propose to a woman who was clearly not “equally yoked,” Sara. Nothing against Sara at all, I think she deserves a person who matches her passion for societal justices. They should’ve called it off as soon as she brought up her local hero, George Floyd, and Ben had no opinion.
The Boring Stuff. Basically episodes 12 and 13 were super, duper boring. So. Much. Talking. This is where the graph of my interest level would dip to the lowest all season and yes, I fast forward through most of these episodes. So. Much. Talking. Did I say that already? Can’t they skip ahead and just get right to the altar where couples finally answer if love is blind? And no, because of this show, I don’t think love is blind. In fact, if we were basing our opinions on this show alone, love seems to be a gigantic train wreck.
The couple that will be happiest at the end of this season is Dave and his sister.
