Johnnie, the woman who self admittely always goes after red flags, being the only woman falling for Uche's story is hilarious as hell to me.

Stacy and Izzy are very strange to me because if MY boyfriend berated a woman, over what was essentially a misunderstanding, until she cried and then came back over to me giddy and bragging about it i would be fucking humiliated LMAO

Only good thing about this reunion was Taylor's "revenge glam" She looked stunning ❤

Not Uche holding up the "African men don't like black girls" stereotype for another season smdh

I think both Izzy and Stacey presented themselves WAY different in the pods. Izzy made himself seem like a provider and Stacey made herself seem like a Chill Girl, and neither are actually that lol

Milton looking like " were not friends" when uche says " I wanna talk to my friend!" Bro I can't even.

You skipped over Izzy saying “makes me wonder why Stacie is 33 and unmarried” after she said no. I think SHE actually dodged a huge bullet, he was clearly going to be carried financially in the relationship. I think that’s why she pressured him to show her what else he would bring to the relationship since his money wasn’t in order at all

I think Izzy’s misogyny is often overlooked because Stacy is so off-putting as a person. Yes, Stacy can be annoying and is incredibly high maintenance but Izzy’s behavior is also gross. He was absolutely still into Johnie but wanted to prove to Stacy that he wasn’t by “railing into her”. And it didn’t work since the moment Stacy ended things he went running back to Johnie. He’s a walking red flag imo but people don’t acknowledge them because of his good looks & because they don’t like Stacy.

This season was so messy and the physical embodiment of the phrase “This could have been an e-mail”.

The first thing my mom said when seeing Uche was “he doesn’t like girls like her. He like the pretty light skin girls” then when it came out he dated Lydia she was like “WHAT DID I SAY”! and the fact Miram told him she was Nigerian my mom was like “he’s assuming she’s dark skinned”. All that to say my mom was right and maybe I need to ask her more things about my dating life 😂😅😵‍💫

The lost and found thing bugs me, it's not just junk hes aquired, it's a special drawer for hookup stuff. Like he's keeping trophies. And he showed it to the person he's supposedly going to commit to. It's kinda icky.

Uche's ass is still sending messages to Milton? That's stalker behavior, isn't it? ☕

There is nothing to applaud Izzy for. He went from crying, to typical mysoginistic language of Stacy being 'old and unmarried'. Sir u were about to spend the rest of ur LIFE with her 10 minutes ago.

It's so wild to me that Uche spun this whole narrative that Lydia was obsessed with him and came on the show specifically to stalk him when EVERYTHING we have actually seen is him being weirdly obsessed with what's happening with her. It gives big 'inflated ego' energy. Lydia came on here, found her a boo and moved along.... while Uche was going on and on constantly about what the two of them had. The only time Lydia ever spoke of him was because she was becoming close to Aaliyah and seemingly feeling bad that she couldn't warn her friend of what she knew about Uche, especially after the thing where he was so judgemental about Aaliyah cheating before when Lydia knew he had done the same. That's where I think it got weird for Lydia because she wanted so bad to warn her friend but couldn't because pretending she didn't know him had already gone too far. I can see how it would be tricky when the new friend your getting close to has a guy whose making her feel like shxt about cheating in the past and you KNOW that guy has done the same - but you can't say anything? Uche was clearly operating in pure delusion and ego while Lydia was legit just trying to find love, and found it. Men like Uche can't accept when their ego is shattered like that - he NEEDED her to be stuck on him and his ego couldn't accept that she wasn't. I just hate that Aaliyah was caught in the middle of it all, she deserved better.

Izzy’s blatant misogyny is often overlooked. I understand he was upset but that whole that’s why you’re 33 and single thing was gross. I feel like Izzy’s behavior is excused by some people because he’s good looking. Cuz the lost and found, the lies? Stacy is annoying but she was not wrong about those things

Chris being a cheater was probably the last thing I expected from this finale tbh

Kennie, did you not hear JP say that he wouldn’t even approach a woman in a bar to hit on her, that he would send a friend? That tells me he is afraid of women. Not a mature or confident man.

you skipped the part where Izzy had to outsource the loveletter writing to his friends, because (as with all cases of true love) he couldn't manage to write to her what he felt and thought in his own words. He had to have other people tell him that. Which I'd say is a red flag. Similarly him insinuating he could "ignore her looks" when she didn't marry him. Like my guy...

I think Kennie is being too nice to Izzy. Dude makes me itch but I can’t figure out why.

aaliyah and taylor were IT GIRLS like literally barbie and barbie!

"You should be afraid to lose me everyday" is the most manipulative, power hungry sh*t ever. It should be the exact opposite: "You should feel secure and safe in our relationship and feel loved by me everyday."

The lost and found thing is Izzy showing off how easy he can get girls. Just like he was playing Johnny and Stacey off each other, then trying to rope Lydia in later. He wants Stacey to feel insecure in their relationship so she'll cling to his broke non promise keeping ass.

Why did she ignore Izzy's weird incel comment after the wedding fell through?? Stacy was right to be protective of her finances, especially because he was hiding things from her. She said no because she felt they needed more time and he went straight to insulting her, "That's why you're 33 and single, etc" in that confessional. I think it's so weird to hear a man speak about a woman that way and then go "he dodged a bullet". I usually love Kennie and her takes but this time it kinda gave internalized misogyny. Stacy was very annoying but it wasn't all her fault and we should all be that discerning when it comes to our finances, especially as women.

I feel like you're cutting Izzy a bit too much slack. He went to go badger Johnnie for something that had nothing to do with him, question her character and then went to her partner at the time to badmouth her by trying to bring up old things she and Chris had presumably worked through already to try to break them up. That isn't "I'm looking out for my friend", that's "I want to hurt this person by ruining a good thing for them" --- and you don't do that shit to people you don't care about or think are inconsequential I also think that Stacy had reason to be upset. We don't really get to see their day to day (weirdly i feel like there was less of that this season even though there were way less couples) but if all he was doing was bringing flowers once a week to the house when he said he'd be doing more in the pods, that's a reason. Clearly her love language is gift giving and acts of service, him not doing much of anything makes her feel unappreciated. Expressing that doesn't put her in the wrong. And considering that she was elated about a coupon that puts the onus on *her* to ask for her love language and a plunger, her bar was pretty low --- so i can only imagine what little he was doing before 😂

6:56 I'm surprised you didn't talk about uche having a fight with Miriam, the only black woman that was talking with the pod girlie. It didn't add anything but it deff showed me Uche diminishes black women's voices.

i saw something about izzy’s apartment actually being an air bnb and that would make a lot of sense considering his decorations 💀

kinda surprised kendall glossed over izzy's misogynistic rant after the wedding lol

JP’s face when responding to Taylor? That is the face of a man who is embarrassed and knows he should be embarrassed. You can feel his insecurity radiating from him.

I hate how they never brought up the messy men but pitted the women against each other

Only started watching the video but thank you for saying genocide is bad 😭 the bar is so low that I'm really pleasantly surprised when someone acknowledges that occupation and genocide are not okay just because people halfway around the world are facing it.

I laughed so hard after you praised Taylor's look and then said about JP, "He's still ... him." Yep, that's pretty much all he deserves.

What I don't understand is why people think Lydia got herself on the show to get with Uche. There was no guarantee that either of them would have been picked for the show.

Kennie you have torn into mens bummy behavoir for less, so its really surprising seeing you cape for a misogenist like Izzy.

Milton was massively demeaning in that final date with Lydia. She handled herself really well, listened, and articulated her feelings. It was so frustrating to see Milton talk down to her.

I loved when Milton tells Uche that he’ll talk to him in the group chat. That just shows they are NOT friends how Uche was painting it out to be😭😭

I WAS JUST SITTING DOWN TO EAT THANK YOU 🙏🏼

Lydia being called a lot is kinda not accurate in my opinion. She calmly listens to these men talk and throw accusitions at her for long periods of time and having calm discussions with them but her blow ups after being hammered at is the only thing people take note of. Yeah she's emotional and can be obtuse to other people's feelings, but she's also quite reasonable 80% of the time.

i agree stacy had questionable moments but her argument with izzy after the bbq wasn’t one of them IMO. he kept mentioning how seeing her “rail johnnies ass” turned him on even tho she already had conversations with him in the past about how it bothers her that he only ever gives her validation when it has to do with johnnie. and then for him to end up making out with her a few weeks after they split… yeahhhh stacy knew in her gut izzy still had a thing for johnnie

Aaliyah looked AMAZING at the reunion I was like in awe haha

I think the lost and found drawer is kinda legit--if you are going out of your way to specifically get married, its not a good look to have a bunch of memorabilia from past relationships. Like, whats the idea? Did he forget that he was trying to get married? Did he forget that he has a whole drawer full of random women's things? Is he trying to brag that he has options? Is he trying to prove he fucks? Is he going to call these women back? Am i going to see some bitch at my front door asking for her shit back? I would assume he wasnt serious, if i was her.

the way uche first reacted to hearing Lydia's voice in the pods was so weird, he spent a good few moments 'not remembering' her and I felt like that was so odd because she has a distinctive voice (at least to me, but maybe in that area it's more common to have that accent? but I'd still remember someone's voice if I had dated them) and especially when it came out that they had slept together 2 months before, he MUST have been pretending to not recognize her quickly as a ego boost to himself

for me its stacys brows i could not stop looking at them the whole season and was worried how they would look on the wedding day, thank god she had a makeup artist it was the one time her makeup was flattering

I keep going back to Stacey standing with her dad before they walked down the aisle. "You made the right choice" he said or something like that. I think Stacey had changed her mind about marrying Izzy because they didn't sign a prenup and his financial status would affect hers. She made it very clear that she doesn't want to be a financial crutch for her partner. Not to say that she didn't love him, but it was smart of her to tell him that they needed more time. And then his commentary after she said no was truly himself.

One thing we can agree on in Izzy and Stacey is that they'd be exhausting together. That said I don't get the good guy framing Izzy gets even after that snide 'Wonder why you're 33 and not married' comment. And it's one thing having exes and hookups prior to a relationship but another having a whole drawer of their various items and accessories just to have in the house. It feels like notches on a bedpost if you get my drift.

Izzy was still so clearly into Johnie once he saw her it was actually embarrassing to watch. Then to find out they made out after the show and him and Stacy were over? Shocker. Also not sure why Johnie went for it after the way he insulted her, but that’s neither here nor there. Uche was the red flag one from day 1. The way he speaks to women is so unacceptable and he comes across as so narcissistic. The reunion made me feel like we owed Lydia a bit of an apology finding out that production TOLD THEM not to tell anyone they knew of each other

miltons face staring into the distance while uche was tryna give his story performance 😂😂

As a Palestinian who's watching this video as escapism to everything happening right now, I appreciate you addressing it❤ #freepalestine

Uche's argument with the Miriam at the BBQ was quite a bit of a red flag. He was always condicending but there was something about the intensity of his words towards her as the only black woman present vs the other women there. Then aliyah said she wasn't his type and it all made sense. Also Stacey telling izzi not to talk to Lydia in Spanish because she wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying didn't sit right with me With JP i remember he had spoken about his upbringing with his mother being difficult particularly for his sisters so i wonder if the misogyny is literally coming from inside the house. Which doesn't excuse anything since he obviously knows it is wrong but could explain where he got his weird ass views

Also, I know you didn’t mention it but Milton saying I’ll text you in the group chat was absolutely hilarious!! That man truly does not like Uche😂😂😂

Rare occasion where I disagree with most of your takes. Izzy was not 'caring for' Chris. Stacey's intuition was right, he was doing it out of unresolved feelings for Johnnie (which was her concern, not that he wanted Chris?!) and he proved that by going after Johnnie when they broke up. The sex trophy thing was gross. Paper plates was bum behaviour too. He also promised things in the pods and never delivered. That's what the argument was about. Very strange that you'd use 'emotionally manipulative' to describe Stacey when Izzy is the one who lied to her to secure an engagement. She was simply forthright. And my comment is coming from someone who doesn't even like Stacey. Kennie sis please hone your discernment. That man is a liar and a scammer. The red flags were red flagging.

Yeah, Izzy is getting a big pass here. His “romantic gesture” was getting her a PLUNGER to remind her that she clogged a toilet while they were in Mexico. Reminding someone of a humiliating moment is not romantic. My husband and I gently roast each other all the time, but we’ve also been married for ten years. Izzy does not care about his “friend” Chris; he does not want the woman he rejected to move on. Even if it were somehow genuine, I’m sorry, he does not know enough about Johnnie to know whether she would be a good partner to Chris or not. She’s messed up, but THEY ALL ARE, with the exception of maybe Taylor and Aaliyah. She’s not a scam artist or a serial cheater ffs. And he made Stacey a BUNCH of promises about who he would be as a partner that he clearly had no intention of fulfilling. Nobody made him say “sky’s the limit” when asked about his finances. HE did that. Lying about your finances to a partner is a big deal; money breaks people up all the time. And wanting to be loved “no matter what” just makes me want to ask “Why? What did you do?”

According to Izzy's interview on Vial Files, Stacey is the Operations manager for her father's oil & gas company. The pilates bizniz is her side hustle.

As a light-skinned black woman, mediocre black men saying that beautiful dark-skinned black women "aren't their type" always makes me so angry, not just because it's colorist but also because the same men will then chase after light-skinned women with this whole "caramel latte burnt sugar queen" fantasy. Regardless of skin tone they don't care about black women’s appearances or personalities even a little bit. If Aliyaah was light-skinned Uche would've been all over her.

girl izzy was so misogynistic and condescending 😭 he was literally doing the same thing uche was “protecting my friend” which was just being weird 😭

Stacy is on the wrong show to find a rich husband.

Regardless of how Stacy came into her money, she’s 100% right to not want to marry a financially unstable man. Especially since Izzy was so shady when talking about it. I’m wondering why with the family background her dad couldn’t help her find a suitor more on their level lol

Izzy can say they're friends as many times as he wants to but they arent friends. What friend would berate their friends partner right in front of them and then say "we're cool" no they not 😂

tbh i'm neurodivergent, been depressed, all that, and i think the paper plates thing is weird. it's one thing to mostly eat off paper plates bc you're depressed and just eating take out food, but it's another to not even own regular plates. that's def a red flag sorry

Uche and Mirram was arguing bc Uche lied on her to her connection to Connor. Uche was cock blocking and hating.

but i am surpirsed at how i disagreed with kennie with some of the stuff bc damn the Izzy sympathy and applauding him for crying was wild lmao. He was gaslighting Stacy everytime they talked about something when she had an issue, even the tears i don't trust. Like stacy is a bitchy rich girl with daddy's money but she was valid in all the arguments she had with him. He def seemed like he wanted to be her house husband without actually doing anything for her, just live off her money. idk he was giving me the ICK the entire time he was on camera, and not to mention he seemed drunk in so many eps

So, what I'm hearing is that this is the season that 100% proved that the "experiment" of Love is Blind is a complete failure. Or, if we're being REALLY charitable, their "methodology" is fundamentally flawed. Because having only one couple still together at the reunion when you started with 28 single people is... that's a 7% SHORT-TERM success rate. 💀

I feel like a lot of people are very gracious towards Izzy’s minimal effort, immaturity, and blatant misogyny.

We’re not giving Izzy all This grace lol

12:00 Nope. This isn't what is happening. Stacy is incredibly good at reading people. Shockingly good. Don't get me wrong, she's mean and stuck up, but what seems like her blowing up for nothing is actually her picking up on things that you didn't. For example, the place Izzy showed her is an Airbnb. Dude is homeless. That also means that his lost and found is one of two things. Either he went out and bought pieces of jewelry and stuff and made a point to show her in order to fake his prowess and make her insecure or he takes these left behind items from place to place as he couch surfs like trophies. She attacked Johnnie for seemingly no reason because she was able to read Izzy's behavior and realized that Izzy still has feelings for Johnnie and so she was jealous of her. Stacy thought she "stole" Izzy from Johnnie only to find out she got an inconsistent hobo with no plates and a sex trophy collection. So imagine having the bum you stole hung up on the girl you stole him from and she shows up all glowing and happy with a better looking guy who probably has a job, a place to live and plates. The last thing was when Izzy told her he was turned on by the way she tore into Stacy. She knew that behavior was motivated by shame and humiliation. She doesn't want to be with someone who would not only encourage her to behave like she's on Jerry Springer, but be turned on by it. Izzy likes when women fight over him and Stacy picked that up by what he was saying and how he was acting. She wasn't overreacting, she was reading the parade of red flags coming off this man.

Uche has decided that Lydia is the crazy ex girlfriend who is so obsessed with him because he’s so amazing and he did her such a good turn by pitying her enough to have sex with her a couple months before the show that he cannot handle her moving on and finding someone else as easy as she did. I would bet real money that he has told everybody in his life that she’s crazy, too, - and used the fact that she’s so emotional as evidence - and her going on TV for millions of people to see her not be that, getting seemingly happily married to them has made him spiral. I’m so glad that both Lydia and Aaliyah got away from him

I know you already said it but Aaliyah’s glam was sooo good too. Like I’m glad she got through the nonsense.

Izzy sets off my fight or flight. Stacey was def a mean girl but she for sure was right about most of her beef with Izzy. But they both wanted to be the one who was wanted more. The lost and found was a vibe check.

"Heard you got married. Wanna talk about it?"..... 😂 He reminds me of so many spoilt boys from tight knit immigrant communities. The "my son's a doctor/lawyer" type of spoilt. The petty, sneaky type of guys who low key hate themselves and get all the affirmations by ppl telling them "how great they are." But all the affirmation they get is still never enough, so they get bored fast and act shitty towards others. Especially their exes!

i know a few men like JP. They want a "natural" woman so that they can feel secure, a well put together woman at least gives the impression of confidence which they cannot handle. so they will beat her down till she conforms or leaves. i just detest his sneaky smile.

Kennie skipped over so many important scenes omg she hated this season fr 😭

I find this very desperate, opportunistic streak in Izzy- he is SO disingenuous and he tries WAY too hard with Stacey and he’s hinted at the fact that he’s excited to join Stacey’s rich family- saying her house is going to be his house too, but in a way that sounded like he expected to not kick into the mortgage at all, just freeload off of Stacey. Then she says something about a bigger sectional couch and he said “I’m down!!”, obviously thinking he’s down to use it, not for putting money in towards it. I think he was bummed to miss out on the family’s cash flow and about half as bummed to lose Stacey.

if we gave kennie one dollar for each hour she lost watching unhinged reality tv to entertain us, she'd be a trillionaire😭😭

37:37 WILD HE STILL MESSAGING HER NEW MAN 😭🤣 I think we all know who was the obsessed one 🤭

Just started and let me say it is MIND BOGGLING that you are the only non political creator on KZfaq that I’ve seen even mention the Palestine genocide happening right now. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

I think Kendall is the only one under the sun who actually likes Izzy, that dude annoys me😂

I just think its crazy how everyone has this vendetta against Lydia and it maintains through the end of the shoe 💀 like, even though people know Uche did her wrong, even though Milton is happy w her, she's just been demonized by people forever. It's weird to me lol

I don’t like Stacy, but I do think Stacy was valid with her wants. As a overthinker it makes sense to me to be worried when Izzy doesn't do the things he promises. It's not even a week into the relationship!! I know they’re supposed to be older, looking for love, and real connections so they shouldn’t be trying to impress each other too much. But if you’re already not doing the things you say, then in my mind there's gonna be a long line list of shit that you’re going to say, but won't do! To many women complain about that meanwhile Guys will say “Choose better.” Or “I've always been like this the whole time, so you're just unhappy with me.” Stuff like that, so I think the sooner you express your wants and needs the better. She definitely talked over him a lot!! Lmao And that's not okay and her attitude didn't give off concern. He was too broke for her and she wasn't trying. Plus Izzy is weirdly misogynistic and my opinion wishy washy, like how are you gonna say all these horrible things about Johnnie read her for filth! Just to make out with her…. I know it was year later and maybe I just don't get it but its just something I wouldn't do. On both side lol Johnnie makes me sad, like girl… your mother was right. Sit down for a while pls 😂😂

From what I saw behind the scene from Stacie and Izzy's fight, it seems she was trying to be super open about both of their finances because that's what you do when you're about to get married and he wouldn't disclose anything about his credit, savings etc. Like apparently he has super shitty credit but would not explain how or why.

The fact that you applauded Izzy for crying and not getting violent is wild?! Not just because of the obvious point but also because crying was totally disproportionate to the conversation. In that instance, she brought a grievance to him and he ended up spinning it so she was the one comforting him in the end. He also threatened to leave ("I'm done") all because she expressed dissatisfaction one time, based on his broken promises. I don't know what kind of relationship dynamics you're used to but that was extremely concerning behaviour. Maybe it's a halo effect kind of deal but your comments about misogynistic, manipulative brokie Izzy have really shocked me.

TAYLOR ATE DOWN!!! LEFT NO DAMN CRUMBS🔥🔥🔥🔥

Aayliyah and Taylor looked gorgeous at the reunion

I feel like staying up most of the night is part of the mom experience

Stacy was mean but Izzy seemed to have lied about a lot of things or intentionally kept things bc he knew if he married her he’d be set. Even when he tells her dad that now they can travel bc he really thought his reality fame would money roll his new life like previous contestants. He also only wanted the approval of the men on the show/ Chris. He never cared about a woman that he supposedly cared about at one point and attacked her on camera bc it made him feel big. Him drunk in every scene was also super concerning. He was always slurring. Stacy might’ve been terrible but Izzy is a flawed person as well.

Wild theory: Uche got dumped by Lydia and has some sort of limerence

Izzy sucks. He's extremely misogynistic and its weird because he also behaves like a child seeking validation. He in fact did not handle anything well. He lied about money several times. He picked fights with johnnie, he immediately said nasty things about stacy in the after wedding interview. TRASH. Stacy sucks as well and I think that makes it hard to see how bad Izzy actually is. ALSO, unpopular opinion but Milton sucks too. He is also misogynistic but it's seen as immaturity and dryness. Nah, he's horrible and he proved it at the reunion when he tried to gaslight Aaliyah. Basically saying "I got over it, why didnt you" to her is nasty work. He said how irritated he was when Uche tried to walk over his boundaries but WHEN HIS WIFE DID THE SAME THING its not a big deal? And I still think Lydia was lying about Uche, we saw her get excited to hear him in the pods and ask to start over with him. I don't necessarily think she came to be with him, but she had a little hope he would be there. But then she found Izzy was was head over heels. Milton was her last option and she was leaving with someone. All Lydia had to do was apologize to Aaliyah because even if she couldnt disclose anything yet, making her a friend when she was dating your recent ex is so nasty. I only like Taylor and Aaliyah.

I feel you on reality tv season burnout. I feel the same with Drag Race and Big Brother. After the first month or so of getting to know the cast, I get bored/exhausted quickly…

Izzy should have never been on this show. That apartment he showed with the lost and found was an Airbnb just for filming! He ain’t have shit.

I wish JP made it to the house reveal, cause could you imagine the U.S.A. flags everywhere.

This definitely was more tedious because of them dragging out the content with only 2 couples!

Kennie is the only reason why I know anything that’s happening on this show

Wow Taylor looked absolutely STUNNING WHAT THE HELL

Really? We're applauding izzy for crying? All she wants is for him to cook her dinner and come through with all the sweet gestures. So he starts crying... Nah

Kennie enriching my autumn baking with second hand reality tv bullshit 💞💞💞💞

“Some of y’all have never been depressed and it shows” LMAO I use paper plates to this day bc I’m too sad to do dishes most of the time 💀 thank you for the rep

Paper plates and Lost and found = Air Bnb. Izzy is a “hobo sexual “ who doesn’t really have a home.

The museum is the Museum of Natural Science in Houston. Go there every year for my birthday. Personally, I’m a bigger fan of the dinosaur section myself. If you’re ever in TX, I’d absolutely recommend it, there’s so much to see in just general admission.

I dont like Stacy really, but I feel like Kennie just glosses over all the red flags for Izzy and why Stacey was acting the way she was. I love your content Kennie but you dropped the ball at that a little bit.

No, never paper plates. The environment is too high a priority for me. My depression manifests in reusing dishes over multiple meals without washing them.

The LIB fatigue is because everything is speeches or monologues or fights. Never couples being a couple

I don’t like Stacy but she had points woth both Izzy and Johnnie, even though i like Johnnie Aracy seems like a pwrson who sticks to her morals and principles. I do think she is aware her standards are too high to the common man so she plays the "cool girl". But I applaud her for always making her wants clear and not changing her standards. Ain’t no way I'm letting a crying man with no job, no house, no credit and no hair coerce me into marriage.
