Warning: This post contains spoilers for theLove Is Blindseason 1 finale and reunion special.
Once upon a time, there were 30 singles.
They went on dates in pods and some fell in love without ever seeing their partner in person.
Netflix
The internet can’t stop GIFing moments from the show.
for aone-hour reunion special.
to surprise proposals and heated confrontations, EW is rounding up all the craziest moments from theLove Is Blindreunion.
Oh hello, Amber is blonde now!
Almost didn’t recognize her for a second there.
They’re not married, they’re just dating, but very happily together.
Now that’s a twist!
Amber says the house she and Barnett lived in was haunted (Barnett says it was just dust).
Theyve since moved closer to the city.
Jessica says its been tough to watch back some ofher more cringeworthy moments on the show.
She now lives in LA and has just started dating again – a year and a half later.
Carlton is working on Carlton (and still referring to himself in the third person).
“Im still processing it.
Its kind of weird sometimes but Im proud at the end of the day.
In seriousness, she is actually working on getting her PhD, which gets applause from her fellow castmates.
Hes single now but says hes doing good.
Carlton finally apologizes for falling asleep on Amber while on a date in the pods.
She is not enjoying this reunion special at all.
So to see her throwing herself at him in Mexico, b youre shysty.
Youre so fake,” Amber says, directly facing Jessica who was seated behind her.
“Coming to my face like were cool, youre so fake.
I think youre a very disingenuine person and you know what?
To another man that you were leading on.
He was engaged, he made his choice.
Jessica immediately responds to Amber, “Obviously I was rejected by Barnett.
I didnt take that very well.
Seeing that play out is brutal…
I do definitely owe a major apology to you Amber, and to Barnett.
I have no hard feelings towards you whatsoever.”
But Amber doesn’t let it stop there.
I accept the intent behind the apology.
I cant be fully there yet.”
Apparently Damian and Lauren had a really strong connection up to the day she got engaged to Cameron.
They would even talk in “Star Wars voices” to each other – whatever that means.
Yes I do because I made a horrible mistake and indirectly called her out of her name.
That is something that should have never happened.
I have no excuse."
Diamond also reveals shes been getting death threats as well.
But then Carlton makes things extra (because of course).
But wait, it’s thankfully not another marriage proposal.
Vanessa asks, Did you go in the pool for that?
(since Carlton famously chucked the engagement ring into the pool while shouting, “F a ring!”
during their argument).
And Carlton responds, Sure did.
Vanessa and Nick turn the conversation back to Giannina and Damian’s relationship post-wedding breakup.
“Looking back I respect his decision,” Giannina says.
“Where were at now is just so right for us.
He has his own place.
I have my own place.
Were getting to know each other at our own pace and its just so refreshing.
And Damian says he still wouldnt do anything different even if he could go back to that wedding day.
“And she was like, ‘Yeah, we do.’
When she said ‘I do’ [during the ceremony], I didnt expect that.
Ill walk away with you.'
Talk about a glow-up!
She gets choked up while admitting this.
And it took them a while to figure out how to hang out and party together, Amber says.
I at one point had actually called about potentially getting the divorce lawyer.
I was like, this isnt working.
Barnett adds, Im a stubborn asshole.
Amber continues, Im stubborn too – we butted heads a lot.
And that took time to figure out how to do…
Figuring out how to handle that made a huge difference for us.
And Barnett adds, We stopped trying to force what we expected on each other.
Once that happened its been nothing but really good things since then.”
The conversation goes back once again to Jessica and how she regrets most of her journey onscreen.
Watching it back, it was obvious that I was working through some things,” she says.
I wish you would have told me [about] Barnett," he says to her.
“I thought we cleared the air about that, if you still had reoccurring feelings…
I felt like that could have been an obstacle we could have talked about and tackled together.
Theyre also talking about having kids one day.
The cameras may be done filming but at least their love story continues!
TheLove Is Blindreunion special is streaming now on Netflix.
