I finished Love is Blind Szn 7 yesterday, and the moral of the story is to know your worth. Once you know what you want, it saves so much time and energy. Two couples in particular emphasized this trope. Hannah/Nick and Alex/Tim. Several things went on behind the scenes that viewers weren’t aware of, and the purpose is to keep us entertained. So, I sincerely hope that those two couples were just doing it for the cameras.
Is Hannah the official villain of the season? Can I say that I resonated with her frustration and had to learn the lesson of removing myself when the signs were there instead of trying to fix/mold. No one’s perfect, so figuring out what’s worth working through vs. being a dealbreaker is a never-ending, personal process, but she was dealing with a man-child. I am not going to overlook this, villain or not. I think that would frustrate anyone. He didn’t deserve to be talked down to and disrespected, but this is returning to my original point. Once that disconnect was established, the relationship should’ve ended. It sucks that this happened on camera for everyone to see her flaws in HD, but I think a lot of us can relate to being in the presence of someone who we are incompatible with and behaving in a way that we aren’t proud of. That’s a part of dating and finding yourself. I’m choosing to give the girl some grace because, with time and care, she can learn from the experience and avoid confusion for her future self. Also, Nick wasn’t innocent either; he was just sneakier with it (even worse, in my opinion).
Now, Alex and Tim whew. This dynamic was the most interesting to me because it seemed like a constant push and pull between the two. They both seemed like strong personalities, and I always enjoy watching those energies navigate. I was on board until the first dramatic incident. I believe that Tim should have dipped as soon as Alex put her hand over his mouth and called him anything but a child of God. I’m sure production had a part to play in all of these scenes being stretched out, but appease me for a second. Would he have had time to let the resentment build and see her filthy apartment, get upset over her taking a nap, or her not washing the dishes if he had removed himself at the first sign of disrespect? He showed bitterness and coldness at the end of their relationship, but I wouldn’t be comfortable and relaxed at any point after someone put their filthy hands on my mouth to silence me, either.
In both situations, it’s like they were dragging out the discomfort and avoiding the inevitable, but again, it very well may have been for the cameras. If not, I’m going to have to sound cliché and say: go where you are appreciated and more importantly, respected.
Also, Taylor and Garrett are chef’s kiss. Kudos to the lovers!
