Oh I was sad for both of them. But AD will be alright, she knows her worth, she has a robust support system and believes in herself.

Clay…I dunno it was like, his life has been sad and likely will continue to be sad. I felt the normal LIB sadness for her, I felt more like existential sadness for him.

She wanted to marry Clay, so no, she doesn't know her worth.

She was so gross when she would just make sounds and sort of dance at the altar.

-Bringing up his fathers constant infidelity and how he wasn’t sure he was ever going to get married
-Saying he wasn’t sure he’d ever be fully faithful
- saying if she got fat even during pregnancy he would have her in the gym
- staying out late and never coming home during filming weeks
-her job/career/$$ of some sorts wasn’t good enough if he was questioning finances etc in the finale

I think the real question is why did SHE not say no? He is obviously attractive and smooth, but he never gave an ounce of indication he was remotely ready for marriage. I like AD and not sure how they come back from the altar, but she was willing to settle and shouldn’t have.

She'll probably be a great wife and mom but I don't think she has a real job and that bothers him. In the end he just wasn't that into her. She is 33 years old and was willing to ignore tons of red flags to get married. She seems emotionally mature in some ways, but that would not have been a wise decision. They were not compatible in pretty fundamental ways.

Not that many realtors are financially successful. It's a feast or famine kind of industry. And it can be full time or very part-time. Clay might have been concerned that her income isn't steady, but fluctuates. And overall she probably doesn't make much.

Agreed. At the lunch with his mom, they discussed how she wants to be a successful real estate agent and works at a night club. That’s a hard life to live when you are in your 30s and working an opposite schedule than most, and no way she’s making a decent wage. He is very into his career and making money. It was never going to work.

A man breaking up with a woman because she didn’t make enough money. She’s right she wasn’t enough. Guess these are the woman’s rights we demanded

Johnny comes from two people who love each other and love him and he is secure and confident and loving. Clay is crippled by his father's legacy and the insecurity and fear it birthed in him.

I have watched every season of this show and I think there is always a real energy the weddings have when people think its actually going to happen and it was there with AD and Clay. The emotions and feelings you could feel them they were truly there but I could also tell he was going to say no from the beginning. And kudos to the show I have to say, they could have edited that to make him look like a total jerk but instead they went to pretty great lengths to show how he is a victim of a generational cycle of abuse and how it just prevented him from accepting the relationship fully.

I think the one thing he did wrong was allow her to say yes. If you want the relationship to continue after the altar, if you are really all in and in love but not ready you don't have that conversation after she said yes in front of the world. You say that the night before so you spare her that humiliation and lay the groundwork. Especially when you knew what you were going to say the way it seemed he did.

But my heart kind of breaks for him, he's messed up. And he doesn't want to be and knows he is, which is a hard place to be.

I commend Vanessa for not harping on babies, but I do wonder what's going on with Brett and Tiffany. She's 37. So is Lauren, of the adorable Lauren and Cameron. Very surprised that neither has announced a pregnancy at this point.

Infertility, ever heard of it?

How come Jimmy was allowed to dump Chelsea the night before but they made Clay wait until the altar.

The way Clay was kissing AD after the No was so cringe.

Because Clay wanted more money. He’s a hustler. From a review of their contracts: “At most, Love is Blind participants receive $8,000 for up to eight weeks of work. But they may actually receive much less: pay is determined based upon how many weeks they’re involved, and it’s $1,000 per week.”

AD admitting she went on dates with Matt after knowing he's a lying narcissist shows her insecurity and she really should be in therapy as well. Everyone saying she's a "strong woman", she's not.

They spent half the time talking to the previous seasons couples and should have focused more on the actual season.

This isn't uncommon at small charter schools - they need someone that will work a billion hours and is very passionate about the purpose. A lot of the more administrative stuff is handled by other leaders who don't report to the principal but to the charter chain region / HQ. Don't know if he's at a charter school, but that'd be a my guess.

Agreed.
I also feel like there has to be more to Kenneth and Brittany's story that their hiding. It just makes nonsense how abruptly things ended and that they're just the best of friends now.
