I wonder if they truly meant it when they said they wanted to try to continue things after filming. They really seem to care for one another, and he is such a catch.

Unless they do a Bachelor in Paradise style spinoff this summer, I am glad never to have to see Shayne’s eyebugging Busey face and heat his hyena laugh again. Even him just walking across the room was like watching Kramer as a newborn colt (sans socks).

Shayne just cannot be real….like I don’t run in circles that would expose me to a guy like that but what a pathetic child of a man. And he’s gross.

He should have kissed the ground she walked on. What a catch, even willing to be the stable breadwinner for Mr “I don’t believe in 401ks.” Thank god she saw his true colors and said no.

Speaking of breadwinners, anyone know what Sal actually does for a living? Seemed like such a lovely guy but Mal’s family did have concerns about his relative lack of financial stability. Not Shane-level obviously.

An article mentioned his various jobs. Looks like he hasn’t held them for long, and mostly minimum wage a la front desk receptionist. So, some disconnect between his apparent maturity and lack of professional growth.

His introduction for employment was tourism sales. I interpret that to mean “timeshare salesman “. Just a guess and not based on any evidence.

This was my guess because of how they never mentioned his actual job! I told my husband "he probably sells admission tickets or something." He reminded me a lot of artsy idealistic people I went to school with. A lot of us spent our 20s in low wage jobs because we "didn't value money" and were trying to make it in artistic or museum fields, or figure out what else to do. I don't think it's a sign of immaturity, i think it's a sign of having to reconcile your values and adapt over time.

I figured he was singing a lot and just had a day job to deal between gigs or for insurance. He seems like a good guy but I think he was here to get his voice out there and be discovered. Which is fine.

Except that there's just not a huge demand for opera singers. I'm a little perplexed by him, and what his objectives are.

He seems to be on drugs, right? So many odd movements and bug eyes.

He seems classic ADHD to me--not sure whether he's on stimulants for that reason but something is up with him.

I just watched the first episodes of Love is Blind Brazil and Japan. So fascinating the differences between the two (and the US version)! I'm loving the Japanese version the most. Their pods are also the most nicely designed.

They're all on Linked In. If you look at the "other people you may know" you can see almost all of them.

He is so awful. Couldn’t believe how he was talking about his stupid fitness regime and his Nobu reservation. Deepti was way too good for him and I’m so glad she realized it.

Totally!! It was bizarre. Did you hear a friend (the blonde girl) who asked if he was sad? It would have been understandable if he stood in a corner with a few of his friends or walked away. It was like he wanted camera/attention. I loved how supportive Deepti's parents were. Good for her-- she's a total catch.

My husband thought he was drunk at the wedding, but maybe it was medication?

Eh, he was saving face, understandable under the circumstances. The reality is there's little you can do if you're not attracted to someone, even if it is due to internalized racism. Do I think it's weird that this average-looking dad-bod dude is so superficial? Yes, but he's allowed to feel how he feels. Just happy Deepti was wise enough to realize she deserves better and call it off!

Shake is so gross. He keeps posting pictures with Deepti on Instagram and meanwhile Deepti’s siblings basically cussed him out and told him to leave her alone.

True but he was filmed saying these unkind things. Sure he knew she'd see that footage at some point. Incredibly insensitive.

I wish the producers had let Shake go first.

Agree that he's very twitchy and has bug eyes, and also guessed some variation of ADHD. That would explain why he'd announce while BEING FILMED and INTRODUCING his BRAND NEW GIRLFRIEND to his MOTHER that he has to take a poop, and why he's so high energy and extroverted.

I loved Japan. After watching that - seeing how cautious and considerate and deep they were, I couldn't watch Brazil where they are so superficial and just care about "chemistry." Although maybe Shake should go on Brazil to find someone he'd like.

I also just started watching Japan.

SO interesting how often the word "kind" comes in when they describe the kind of man they are looking for. I wish US women would put that higher on their lists.
It reflects great values.

(Note also, that they have someone over 40 on there. You did not see that in the US version. Let alone, multiple men who were hair stylists? Any backstory there?)
