Love is Blind UK

This just highlights how poorly American men dress. British men wear pants that FIT! Jasmine overlines her lips terribly.

Anyone else notice Sam kept saying "I'm just a big kid" over and over like it was a good thing? Who wants to marry a KID? I want to marry a MAN. Benaiah sounds homeless and jobless.

I do like that the producers listened to us and got people in their 30's. Cat seems high maintenance and weirdly insecure/immature. I looked up the salary for a funeral director in London - it's under $40k. How the hell does Freddy afford a whole damn house?! And why doesn't his brother TALK? I've known a lot of kids with Down syndrome and they all talked a lot.

I think Ollie is sorry he's paired with the fat girl and will dump her.

I assume Freddy inherited the funeral business from his dad?

Sam and Cat might pair well, although by “pair well” I don’t mean in a good way

Catherine should be the poster child of never getting lip fillers and botox.

Spoilers? Though I don’t know when the final wedding was aired.

Freddie, Demi and Tom say no. Bobby/Jasmine, Steven/Sabrina and Nicole/Ben all got married. I’m surprised Tom said no.

Tom is not good enough for Maria. He really shut down emotionally when learning about her culture, rather than talking through the aspects of it he disagreed with and trying to find compromises with her. She can do better than him and his sandals.

Freddie did the right thing, 100%. He can do better than Cat. Cat has made her adoption her entire personality - I don't know why her parents didn't reframe her "my mother abandoned me" refrain to "your mother couldn't provide you with the life she thought you deserved so did the most selfless thing she could by placing you for adoption..." but the only smart thing she said was "Freddie loves me, but he's not IN love with me." I agree.

To be honest, I didn't quite understand why Demi said no to Ollie. I really hope that Bobby can be financially successful. Partially for him, partially for him and Jasmine, but also because I'm scared as shit of Jasmine's mother.

IMO Tom and Maria did talk about their cultural differences but she seemed inflexible, for example insisting the man pay for dates. She kept talking about her deceased dad who was a strong provider and a dominant family patriarch, and it seemed she wanted another father figure just like him. While Tom seemed open to some of that, in the end that wasn’t him and his Birkenstocks.

Freddie absolutely made the right choice.

I’m going to guess that Demi didn’t feel 100% secure with Ollie. She seemed insecure about her weight.

Agree that Nicole’s mom is terrifying, and good for Bobby for enduring that with grace. It looks like Nicole is going to side with Bobby about setting boundaries.

Don’t be asinine. There’s a spectrum of Down syndrome kids, and some are more speech capable than others. Freddie’s brother seems completely in the norm, and their relationship is so sweet.

Freddie gifting the earrings with the love note definitely made it seem like he would say yes. I bet that was a producer setup though.

I disagree. A goal to be a SAHM is becoming a thing of the past. You can't expect to live in an expensive city or suburb of London and be a SAHM. Unless the man also has trad goals and is making a lot of money, you need two salaries to afford a decent lifestyle.

If you’re talking about Tom and Maria, I think we agree? I also agree that London is a two-earner town (my two-earner cousins live there) unless the guy is on board and also is a big earner. I think Tom is probably comfortable but doubt he could afford a family in London on his own.

I liked the couples that got married. In general they seemed so unproblematic. The Irish gal and her dude were so sweet but barely got any air time since there was no drama. Jasmines mom is a POS, I really hope she can set some boundaries, otherwise I see her mom tanking their entire relationship.

I’m glad Freddie said no. Cat kept trying to say she’s not materialistic and bougie, but even her friends said she likes to go out and he doesn’t so how’s it gonna work. She was trying to keep a facade to get picked I think.
I’m surprised but glad Demi said no as well. I think she didn’t like how Ollie made her feel - desperate and needy. Once she learned how to love herself she knew she needed more in a partner.
I didn’t think Tom and Maria were a good match as soon as they talked about how snobby he was about her job.

But Tom's excuse for being on his phone so much was that he was "a high-powered ad executive". Surely that comes with a high salary.

I think Jasmine's mom lives in the Philippines, so maybe that distance will help the couple with boundaries? What more do you think Demi needs in a partner that Ollie wasn't giving her? I am the poster who didn't understand why she said no to him.

Sorry I meant to quote 00:22 poster! Where they said Maria can do better.
