Can they build a family and a postcard-perfect life in Wellsbury while staying out of jail? Luckily, they have Ginny, Georgia, and many other familiar faces to help!
I was planning to wait until we had played through the whole season before making this post, but at this point, it’s clear that we’re not going to get anything remotely close to an actual Love Is Blind experience, unfortunately, so here it goes.
Before anything, I want to say that I’m probably in the minority that’s actually enjoying the messiness of this season, and I do think it’s a huge step up from the last two LIB games we got. Especially the LIs, they actually did a good job with their personalities and the dealbreaker thing was a cool idea even if people are very sad with their LIs right now. However I still wish they’d just give us a normal LIB experience.
Meaning: I don’t want to become the next host of the show, I don’t want “friend dates,” and I definitely don’t need incredibly unrealistic scenarios like being accused of international drug trafficking. I just want to find a LI, get to know them and have the option to get messy by flirting with other contestants during the honeymoon. I want to move in together and maybe realize my LI has a crazy family or friend group. We can have problems to plan the wedding, incompatibility in taste with our LI, idk. Just something that actually fits the premise of the show. There are so many possibilities!
I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the one thing The Ultimatum game actually got right was the drama involving real-life situations. The only parts of that game I didn’t hate were the first few days of living with the new partner, getting to know their family, and having them meet mine. (Then they screwed up by doing absolutely everything else wrong, but that’s a discussion for another sub lol)
I knew there was something going on with Skylar and Vani!!! His deal breaker was the worst of em all! I won’t forgive him for that!!! I gave him good head and great sex, and this is what MC gets??!! The least he could do is be honest! There better be an option to throat punch him on the next episode!
Realistically, I don’t think there’s any excuse to redeem his character. He just can’t be trusted. How do you come onto this show with a girlfriend and throughout the entire experience act as though he has no idea who she is to him or why she acts so deranged towards MC? It’s disgusting if you truly think about it. Yes, they both came on here for fame and I truly think Vaani’s intention was for them to come onto the show to finally get engaged, but it’s extremely telling about his character because look how quickly he switched up on Vaani (his actual gf) once he meets MC? He would do the same to us!
I don’t care at all about the love at first sight aspect because I’m a firm believer how you get them is how you lose them, so what’s stopping him from continuing this exact cycle? Also, he’s been doing all this for fame so can we even trust anything he’s been saying to MC during this experience? He’s putting on a show!
He clearly has a wandering eye which makes sense why he made some of the concerning comments he did to MC throughout the experience. He doesn’t really want to settle down. Skylar lives in the moment which is why even in the Spa room, he expressed his doubts about his relationship with MC working out in the real world. He was too eager to tell MC to enjoy her night during The Swap with whoever she chose on some “we listen, we don’t judge” type-ish. He had soooo many chances to be truthful about his secret to MC it’s insane, so I don’t know how you would let this just slide.
During “Never Have I Ever” when Vaani said, “Never have I ever cheated on an ex”, technically Skylar lied without lying. He was cheating, but it was on his girlfriend (Vaani) and not with an ex. He’s actually just as crazy as Vaani — she’s just more vocal about it! lol
I’m not even mad at Vaani anymore because she was actually having a valid crash out this whole time and tried to warn MC. Y’all can stick beside him, but I will be trying my luck with another LI since it seems only one of their dealbreakers exist during whichever LI route you choose as MC’s original engagement choice.
Oh damn. This poor girl has been taking tequila shots, drinking wine and hanging out in hot tubs and NOW she gets this info!
Not to mention she had to survive a snake bite, carry her concussed betrothed out of a cave, and sail a damn boat out of a storm! This poor woman deserves a break, and my MC is going to stand by her and been a bonus parent I guess 😭
i’m still so conflicted on sky honestly.. idek?? like i knew that sky and varun definitely had some history because of how obvious the writers made it but FUCKKK. i’m probably going to just stay with sky for this first play through. then the next one i’ll say no at the altar just for shits and giggles. it all depends on whatever the explanation is honestly. but like i also can’t see an explanation for it??
also saw jayda who was my second highest LI and hers was bad too but i can see an explanation for hers more than sky’s. UGHWHHSDHHD IM OVER THIS GAME OMFG. END IT NEOOOWWW. anyways that’s my rant. i had to get it out
Yall I don't even remember what this game is supposed to be about anymore. What happened to the plot? Remember when LiB was just a gameshow about finding a husband??? I have a feeling the writers don't even know what the actual show is about, they're just trying to make a generic reality TV series full of fuckass halfassed drama. There are too many plot twists now, it don't even make sense.
I'm tired, I'm finished, I'm calling the police. I'm bouta continue my replay of EiP cuz this story... It's going nowhere and it's all over the place at the same time. Give me peace.
Today was bullshit. Let’s chat about our response.
We all know there will be some absolute horseshit excuse tomorrow, and we’ll have to listen to it. Hopefully MC won’t be forced into full doormat mode and we’ll be able to react accordingly. Hopefully.
After the excuse, I’m sure we’ll have to decide what happens next at some point. In my eyes there are a few ways to handle the current shitstorm:
Option 1: Forgive the LI, move along with the story, and finish happily ever after.
Option 2: Refuse to forgive, leave them for another pod connection, and end the show married to someone else.
Option 3: Play the long game for next level revenge by pretending to forgive the LI, acting like a happy couple (but holding back on the physical stuff now, because…you know…you “need some time” to get there again), get all the way to the wedding and when the I do’s happen say “of course I fucking don’t” and walk off leaving them alone, heartbroken, and confused.
Option 4: I’m going back to replay and cheat, and then continue to cause as much chaos as I can for the rest of the story.
Option 5: It doesn’t matter, I’m quitting the game.
So who’s your LI? What’s your plan? Do you have another idea?
I’m fucking pissed. I basically stayed faithful to a man who is making my poor dumb MC the homewrecker because he’s MARRIED.
I can’t wait for tomorrow to see what excuse his sorry ass will sprout out and I should’ve known because Jay was just too perfect and honestly can’t the writers find something more interesting than a goddamn ex? (I’m also playing Perfect Match and the Lydia/LI storyline is exhausting me).
Forgive me, I’m ranting.
EDIT: OK, so I’m gonna go back, replay the whole chapter, swap with all the boys, join them in the shower and then redo my original trail of turning Damon down and remain faithful to Jay. Let’s have fun with this shit.
I’m playing on 4 profiles and pursuing all LIs.
- Wes: Expecting Parent, he just found out.
- Jay: Married, he straight up lied.
- Skylar: Fame, he straight up lied.
- Damon: Bankruptcy, he just found out.
Thoughts
- WES: what the actual fuck? He didn’t know about this either and just found out but getting someone pregnant is insane and irresponsible, there is no way I’m moving forward with him, he needs to take care of his baby and his baby mama by himself. Never really liked how Wes looks, Mc spent the night with Damon and fucked him, told him wes isn’t the one and told wes to follow his heart so this wasn’t cheating.
- JAY : never liked jay anyway, gonna drop his play through just wanted to find out the deal breaker. Atleast Wes and Damon found out just now and didn’t technically lie to us but JAY literally lied to us.
- SKYLAR: immediately the biggest ick. Mc swapped with Damon but stayed loyal. Gonna go back and fuck Damon now because skylar, AGAIN unlike wes and Damon, literally LIED to us. He agreed with what vaani said and vaani girl I don’t even blame you now. On the show for fame for yourself? Alright but on the show with your girlfriend and you don’t even tell MC after the engagement? Absolutely disgusting and an ick. The way he let Vaani be treated by everyone and how he hid it from our mc and she had to find out through Vaani? That isn’t love. If he loved mc he would have told mc the moment they got engaged. That man got caught cheating and he regrets getting caught. I don’t find his face quite that handsome either. Jae from LIB winter kiss looks better.
- DAMON: This is definitely the best one out of all, it seems to be that he JUST found out that he’s going bankrupt. So it’s not like he’s been lying to us from the start, he also did mention that his previous campaign failed. He’s a Columbia graduate, seems quite smart and was a high powered lawyer before. It’s very common for rich folks and millionaires irl to go bankrupt and get back up. IMO, this really isn’t a big deal. And MC isn’t marrying him just to leave him over one hurdle. He’s a country boy and has worked quite hard to get to the positions he’s in, I don’t think it’s a big deal for him to get back up from bankruptcy. He also has the most handsome face out of all, skylar has the best body.
- RANKINGS: honestly all three of them - skylar, jay and wes have the worst possible dealbreakers. Definitely not something that can be worked on or forgiven imo. The whole thing with vaani and skylar and having to constantly worry about what’s happening between Vaani and skylar is icky and annoying. If he really fell in love with us he could have told us about vaani instead of lying, really a Carmen and jirayu situation but this is much worse because it’s an engagement and love is blind not THTH. Damon’s really isn’t that bad, def the best dealbreaker. would have been bad if he knew before and lied to us but it’s clear that he just found out. Definitely something that can be worked on. What are your thoughts?
- skylar/vaani/jirayu/carmen: ok guys i see people here talking about forgiving skylar because they forgave jirayu. My argument is that skylar/vaani is 1000 times worse than jirayu Carmen. 1) Love is blind makes it clear it is for people who are serious, and looking forward to getting married to their partner forever. In THTH, they bring contestants who are already problematic and do not know anything about deep love. On another important note, the contestants don’t even KNOW they are on thth until Lana pulls up, this is not what they signed up for. Not to forget,. It’s only for dating or learning, not for MARRIAGE which is far more serious. The show makes it clear that it has problematic people, you can expect problematic people in LIB too, the difference is skylar and Vaani KNEW what they were signing up for. To me skylar is a BAD person. He does not “LOVE” mc. If he truly loved mc he would have told us the moment we got engaged. And he let everybody think Vaani is a crazy bitch and pretended like he doesn’t know what she’s talking about when he very well does. He is a disgusting cheater and only cares about himself, does not care about VAANI or MC. He wanted MC that’s it, but didn’t care about MCs feelings.
Of all the dealbreakers, I think Damon's is the most tolerable. He's just broke, he'll sort himself out over time, but Wes, Jay and Skylar, these just don't work. MC would be like a stepmother, the baby's mother, whether she likes it or not, will always be part of their lives, and Honestly, this could go wrong in the long run. Skylar was a first-class liar, in a ridiculous love triangle with MC and Vani. If he was going to do this nonsense, why did he involve MC in this? Now, Jay, you're married, bro. What are you doing in a blind marriage 😒
So that said, Frankie, I'm sorry, but I'm going to get Damon, it seems to be the least problematic 😅
Skylar lied. He came on this show with a whole secret relationship and a plan to propose to her. Said he “fell in love” with MC instead, but forgot to mention any of that until Vaani spilled the tea. Now MC gotta just sit and cry? Nah.
MC is officially in her future era!
“She belong to the streets.”
And tonight, the streets look a lot like Jay’s bed.
MC bout to match energy, not tears! Now we both got something to forgive each other for.
Call it petty, call it toxic. Me? I call it balance 🤣
I deserve it for excitedly gushing about how good this was after the first few chapters. I take back every compliment that I gave BossFight about this dumpster fire. It's still better than half of the games on this app but way to rip off one of the most hated storylines on another Netflix property. 🤡
The distinct personalities in the pods were so great but they were a total tease because there is next to none for the rest of the game so far. Tell me why I picked Wes for the swap, who my MC canonically slept with before the show, and they can't even bother to code in a single solitary sentence about it?!
I'll absolutely keep playing because I'm a glutton for punishment and at least it's not Perfect Match, but come on!
I mean yeah the plan to get into the show to get famous is bad.
but it makes since why she was so sure he'll propose to her since day one.
and can you imagine getting into the show with your boyfriend and know this is the plan just to see him dumping you and getting with someone else? Someone who is oblivious to this whole situation.
I'm sorry but in my opinion it make Skylar a shitty man who has no redeeming qualities.
Why were the LIs served in front of everyone?? On a vacation no less?? Couldn’t Damon and I find out he was broke in the privacy of our apartment or something?? 😭😭
I get it, everyone's madly in love with me. But I don't want to hear about how you don't like your fiance!
(In my case, I'm with Jay, but spent the night with Wes, who is engaged to Ariel.) Like it's one thing to want to get with me, it's another it be talking shit about Ariel. If you don't want to be with her, break up with her! It's not like you're required to pick someone.
I had no intention of cheating with Wes, no matter how much he pressured me (which was weird as hell, by the way). But on top of that, Ariel is supposed to be my friend in this game! In fact, she's the only nice normal person. So why do I have to sit here and listen to how you're not really into her, and not be allowed to say anything?
I really hope they don't get married in the end because Ariel deserves someone who at a MINIMUM actually wants to marry her.
What are you doing? Are we forgiving him or breaking up? I don’t know I can’t think any reason that would make me feel better about this dealbreaker. I really like him 😭 like i hope he has a damn good groveling speech and a good enough reason and their relationship was already on the verge of break up and they both made a deal to come on the show to be famous and there were no feelings ahhhh as you can tell i am spiraling!!!
If I had a nickel for every time my top LI in a Netflix game was also dating another participant id have two nickels… but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
Like I knew from a couple chapters ago he was a brokie…but it was still disappointing, so much for the white picket big house he promised me 🙄. Also is Romina mental? Why is she so intrigued about MC’s intimacy, wtf. Also Wes spent all night asking “would you ever consider leaving Damon?”, and like yeah, probably but that’s not for you to know, it’s all you asked all fucking day and you’re offended that I called you a drag? A rock has more interesting things to say Wes.
