I completely forgot Barnett said that to Jessica about "if there were no other people here I'd propose to you" bro literally said "if you were my last option I'd say sure" and she swooned

i will never forget the scream i scromed when giannina said “notice when you say this is the best sex of your life, i never return the compliment” 😭😭 love is blind season 1 is truly unmatched

I think the real experiment of love is blind is how many people will pretend they’re in love to avoid embarrassment lol

I will not be tolerating any Cameron and Lauren slander in this house

Amber always rubbed me the wrong way. I'm so glad someone else is pointing it out cause holy shit it was irritating how people dogpiled Jessica, who did some stupid shit, over Amber with her mean-girl tendencies. There's malice and cockiness behind Amber whilst Jessica had both the alcohol and being misguided, but she had no malice.

Very glad you picked up on Amber being a massive pick-me. She literally insinuated that only married women are deserving of respect and honesty in their relationships. Jessica was cringy, but Amber (and Mark) both seem completely full of sh*t.

I think what turned me off about this show is that it didn’t have the balls to have people who aren’t already conventionally attractive in it’s cast. Like, where’s the fat women? The skinny men? Short kings? Tall queens? Trans people? Disabled people? More than one token non white person for each “side” of the cast? Like the whole point is you don’t see the people you date so why aren’t we using the most diverse spread of human experiences as possible?

Amber is really unlikeable. Like, I get that Jessica acted super inappropriate with Barnett, but Amber is so quick to threaten insane violence. Like really unattractive and unstable behavior.

In answer to your "how are all these people homeowners" question... I would say that the type of people who go on reality shows like this are the type of people who can **afford** to go on reality shows like this. Typically, whatever income bracket they're in allows them to take a month or more off of work - a month away likely still paying bills for stuff at home, etc. This is not the general population we are dealing with here lol. Especially when the show promises you love and not cash.

I feel like no one talks about how Jessica fed wine to her dog enough

It’s actually so evil how Jessica is clearly trying her best and is still met with hostility two years after the fact

"this boils my piss" is an amazing phrase to me

I'm not sure yet if you touch on this in the video, but Jessica didn't seem.....sober when her and Mark had "sex" for the first time. It also really bothers me how Mark was absolutely refusing to see that Jessica just wasn't into him, he can't possibly be that dense. He seemed really happy with himself the day after they had sex while Jessica seemed visibly shaken and even drunker than usual. I'm not saying that she said no and he did something to her anyway, but it just doesn't seem like she gave enthusiastic, or even sober, consent. I got skeezy "nice guy" vibes from Mark when I watched the show the first time, and my suspicions were confirmed when he serial cheated on his partner after the show. I know that Jessica has her fault in the whole situation, but it did feel like she was under duress, because she knew that she was being filmed, and she was scared of looking superficial. All she wanted was for Mark to take one of the 500 thousand hints that she kept laying on and agree that there just wasn't a connection, and let her break things off in a way that didn't villainize her. But he insisted on cornering her and giving her absolutely no way out except for her to look like the bad guy for not being attracted to him. I genuinely think that Mark knew that Jessica wasn't attracted to him, and that hurt his ego too much for him to let it go. She literally recoiled at his touch but he still had "sex" with her with what I really, really doubt was enthusiastic consent, and then tried to emotionally entrap her. Major "nice guy" vibes from him. I said what I said. Edited to add: I think that the whole "hot and cold" thing from Jessica happened a lot because Marked kept giving her speeches about why it didn't make logical sense for her not to commit to the relationship. Every time she pulled away, instead of accepting it, he would monologue about how love is about fighting for the relationship, etc etc. It seemed like Jessica kept falling for it and letting Mark talk her back into the relationship. Justice for my messy drunk homewrecker.

I feel like Jessica was the catalyst for metal cups in the seasons after season 1. Her wine was so viral lol

We ALL collectively agreed to forget about Cameron's rapping HOW COULD YOU BRING THIS UP AGAIN 😂

Honestly I'm convinced that the only reason this show was able to happen is because the universe knew that Lauren and Cameron needed to be together. (Also the Japanese version of the show is very good)

this video was EXACTLY the duration it took me to make pancakes for my entire family, put it on as soon as i made the batter and it finished as i washed my last dish just thought u should know

i can't stand damian but i watched the first season with my mom and sister and to this day we still randomly quote the "I am your gift" from his proposal, it was so funny 😭😂

I am here asking for the second part to the love is blind analysis

i really liked the Japanese version because the couples that did not get married just played the show and talked it out before going to the altar. It really showed me that you have a choice not to play by these insane show rules and choose to be respectful and value the feelings more than the show.

Fun fact: Kelly said on her TikTok they all propose on the 10th day. That's why they are all in hair and makeup on the proposals and why they have the same clothes on different proposals

Take a shot every time Jordan says ‘Jessica had a bit too much to drink’ and you’ll end up almost as drunk as Jessica lol

Just a friendly reminder that Kelly left her honeymoon to go to her MLM event 💀I don't know if she's still on it, but she was a BeachBody coach

I truly believe that the first season was filled more (not completely) with contestants that were there to find love and get married. even the people that didn't get married seemed committed to the process. AND the first season was filmed TWO YEARS before its release, meaning the couples had two years of "regular marriage" before having a "public marriage". I think this is why the two married couples from the first season are still together and the two married couples from the second season are not. I don't even see the married couples from the third season staying together long but who knows (i'm praying colleen leaves matt). PLUS, after the first season blew up and everyone on it had huge internet success/attention, a lot of people saw their opportunity to get a piece of that fame. It really seems that the second and third seasons were/are filled with people who want to become influencers, aren't invested in being married, and/or immature people looking for tv romance and not a life partnership. There are lots of other problematic things with the show (idealization of marriage, it's not an "experiment", not talking about personal/professional/financial goals before getting engaged, etc.) that happen in every season, but this past third season was essentially UNWATCHABLE. There was no one to root for besides alexa and brennon, and even their moderately enjoyable scenes were not enough to overshadow the others. The first season is genuinely good and has some messy reality tv moments but no one seemed like a genuinely bad person. Season 2 and especially season 3 had some genuinely bad people and I'm sure production knew and did essentially nothing about the gaslighting, verbal abuse, and deception. I understand they're there to make good TV but good TV should never put the contestants at risk for physical OR mental abuse and there were moments I was genuinely scared for Colleen. It's time to END THE SHOW or at least rework it SIGNIFICANTLY.

Amber has such an Amy Dunne energy. I feel like if Barnett ever cheats on her or something like that, she's gonna make him wish he was never alive

LOVED reliving this with your commentary, utterly hilarious. 'OKAY COMRADE AMBER'

Amber is 100% pick me. The ex mechanic thing was always so annoying, that’s not you anymore girl. Let it go. Bring something else to the table please. And she has that awful “every other girl is a threat and my enemy” attitude. I couldn’t stand her from the start. Very beautiful woman and cool at surface level but deeper than that it gets yucky

My partner and I hollered so hard at Gigi’s “here’s your bow back” after Damien’s rejection, honestly shocked you didn’t mention it

Literally can't with Barnett's entire existence

I hope that when Francesca entered the party, someone said: ‘She doesn’t even go here!’

I have always thought amber was the villain! Definitely a mean girl that peaked in high school vibe

Girl, Kenny is NOT nice. he is shady af. He pretended to be jilted at the altar!! they already had discussed that they would say no to each other and he blindsided Kelly so that he could look like some sort of heartbroken hero (for revenge probably) also Mark is AWFUL and was cheating on Jessica and LC and it is insane also, Kelly is an MLM hun so that is weird too

Kenny doesn't get enough credit for being one of the best men on the show

As an American, your American accent was the best part of this video 😂 It sounded great!

You know there were some people in S1 that I didn’t like, but compared to the rest of the show’s contestants I’m just like wow we had it so good!

I honestly believe the whole Francesca love triangle was set up by Netflix. I don't really have evidence, but what if Damian and Giannina had already broken up and Netflix came to them with this storyline? I just think Giannina would have been way more dramatically mad if Damien had actually cheated on her on camera.

The Damien box proposal scene was so wild. I was like “tf is going on in place, on this day??”

I absolutely cannot wait for the next part of this, Jordan is truly in her element when she covers love based reality shows

omg I am BEGGING you to watch love is blind japan, that shit was the most gut wrenching reality show I have ever watched. I felt like I was being broken up with when I watched that show

Barnett talks to all these women the way I talk about my colleges in my 'why us' essays lmfao

girl i lovee these reality tv show video essays sm you dont even know

I just finished s1 so I could watch this video 😭😭 Lauren & Cameron are actually the cutest couple I have ever seen though

thank you for the PSA about carlton and diamond. as a queer person, i can recognize some of her comments were biphobic. HOWEVER, i truly believe she was asking him questions in order to understand better and have a discussion. also she did feel hurt that he kept a secret from her when they were supposed to get married, and i totally understand that. carlton got extremely defensive and aggressive and treated her terribly. he could have pointed out her biphobic comments in a kinder way, but he went in the conversation READY to attack her. im on diamonds side tbh

love is blind Japan was really so good, everyone was mature about it and one of the couple made me cry when they matched hair omg

I participated in a reality show and literally everything is manufactured. Those are not their homes, especially because if they were they would need to do a lot of rearranging (things need to be specific colors/patterns, no brands, etc). I knew things were not real in reality tv but participating in it really made me realize a lot of things haha

Great analysis of the first season. Yes, that Amber-Elsie conversation was ridiculous. Mark put Elsie's health at risk. WTF! The whole non-exclusive dating stuff people do is weird to me. 🤷🏾‍♀️

I’m happy I’m not the only one who couldn’t stand Amber and was proven right when she did that. It’s also clear she wears the pants in that relationship. Honestly I don’t think Jessica or Amber were right for Barnett and I think he’d have been better off leaving single and figuring life out from there rather than SELLING YOUR HOUSE for Amber or any woman for that matter. That makes her seem like a total gold digger.

I'm bisexual and, honestly, Diamond's initial response to Carlton being bisexual wasn't bad. It wasn't even negative. She was just genuinely curious about why he waited until they were already engaged. I sorta agree with her that he should've disclosed that in the pods if he thought it might be a dealbreaker/prove to be a problem somehow. Like, his outburst made it seem like he thought it'd be the end of the world when he told her. I can see how it could be considered biphobic for someone to not want to date someone simply because they are bi (but at the same time, I wouldn't personally care too much because I wouldn't want to date someone who is bothered by my sexuality, yk?). Personally, I think coming out can be cathartic/bittersweet, but it's not necessary to be true to your identity.

Amber is the mean girl that peaked in high school😂😂😂FACTS

i haven't watched a single episode but the way i'm ROOTING for lauren & cameron SO HARD is INSANE.

i know you said you are not doing a second part but i would kill for your analysis on deepti and shake, guess i just have to accept it

im so excited for part 2 im so ready to hear your take on cole and zanab and the cutie story

Season one is by far the superior series IMO. Far too many of the potentials get engaged just to get more screen time in season 2 and 3.

About Carlton's "reveal": I can't speak for Diamond, and I wouldn't react in anger, but I would have a reaction to something so central to someone's identity being kept from me. I wouldn't feel threatened (which I think Diamond was, but again can't speak for her), but I would be upset that my partner didn't trust me with that or didn't believe I would be accepting or loving. Carlton's issue (asides from rampant misogyny) is that he wasn't secure enough in himself to trust Diamond completely, and that led to her feeling both lied to/deceived and like an option. We don't see much of their pod convos, but dating history would have undoubtedly come up. I don't care who my partner dated in the past, but I do care about them being honest with me. Maybe Carlton only mentioned dating women. Maybe he didn't outright lie, but the effect was the same, or maybe he did lie. I can see how Diamond could think, especially after only knowing Carlton for a little over a week, what else isn't he being completely truthful about? If he can keep such a large secret, what else isn't he saying? Also, if Carlton thinks Diamond could have a negative (or biphobic) reaction, why the hell did he propose? The whole situation could've been handled way better, obviously, and I'm kinda pissed Carlton was given a redemption arc. Neither of them needed that, they just shouldn't have gotten engaged 😂

girl….. where is part two??? I’m starving 😭

ngl as someone who's never seen after the altar this was absolutely eye opening so excited for another vid on other seasons of love is blind

Quite interesting to hear that the contestants in US reality tv shows aren't usually allowed to drink,I wasn't really aware of this. in Germany it's very common and it often feels as if the shows entirely depend on drunk behavior and decision making

i had a really bad and lonely day and you made me feel less alone for 50 minutes

I LOVE WHEN JORDAN DOES AN AMERICAN ACCENT 😭💕

I honestly didn't read Diamond as biphobic, it looked like she was still just processing new information and he just made his own fears realized by blowing up right away -- it was his attitude then that made her pissed off more than his past.

crying at the mr schue cameron rapping comparison

GIRL WHERES PART 2 😭😭

I‘ve never seen an episode of this show but I’ve seen Trixie and Katya‘s reaction to the new season and when I tell you the way I absolutely lost it at that dude putting in the fake tears, they way the producers kept that in 💀 I had to take some minutes to calm myself down from the hysteria, so when I saw the picture at 0:18 I absolutely lost it again

For season 1, the weddings were actually in Atlanta, but season 2 had the weddings in Chicago.

I didn’t like Carlton. Even before he told Diamond about his bisexuality he was acting so weird and rude to her. She actually reacted in a pretty calm way. When he told her I don’t think she was biphobic, I think she just wondered if he could keep that secret then what else could he keep a secret and that was valid. Carlton is just not a good guy and that has nothing to do with his sexuality. He’s just not a good person. Even after altar when he’s having a conversation with Lauren he starts a fight with her from nowhere. He’s just not a good person

The only thing i disagree with you about is that Amber wasn't a full-fledged pickme from the getgo lol

I’d love to see you do a video essay on Married at first sight Australia, the last 3/4 seasons have been nothing but chaos and drama lol. Especially this years season had some fucked up drama but it was oh so juicy!

I’ve never watched the show but I *need* a part 2 to this

In the face of all this Season 3 commentary, I weirdly love the return to Season 1 haha Thanks Jordan, I love your videos :)

Jordannnnn this might be the most comprehensive love is blind video I’ve seen! Amber made me roll my eyes out my head

I love that season 1 of Love is Blind actually tried to be good (not saying they succeeded, but they tried) and then S2 and 3 just threw everything and the kitchen sink out the window. Absolute CHAOS!!!! 🤣

Damian is literally emotionally abusive, I had to mute his audio because it was taking me back to an abusive ex. I’m so glad Gigi is finally rid of him now. Yeah I love Jessica. She was messy on the show but she’d just had her heart manipulated and broken by Barnett, she tried to communicate with Mark but he never listened to her, he broke their agreements and actually cheated, and no one would even be friends with her. But I hear she’s doing well now and has a boyfriend who has seen the show and understands her!

This is so much more entertaining than the actual show :')

The bunny chair is so cute!

in season 3, there's one girl who is sleeping on the couch and says "have fun" to the other girls, and she's my favourite. no idea who she is. edit to add: your random background graphics are so funny

Jordan where is part two, I'm CLINGING to this commentary 😭

Ugh girl yes please!! Have been watching this show as my newest trash obsession whilst revising for my med exams, and I cannot stop thinking about it 😂❤️

The video I've been waiting for forever !!!
