To say the Love is Blind reunion was trash is an understatement. Anyone who religiously binged the show deserved so much more than the snoozefest ending.

The Love is Blind reunion sucked. There are no arguments that make sense otherwise, and everyone who sacrificed sleep to binge the show deserves financial compensation for the time that was wasted. It was atrocious on multiple levels.

To say the reunion was disappointing would be like saying the virgin on the show wishes he got a little more screen-time after revealing himself to the world. Good luck on eHarmony, bro. Nonetheless, there are at least ten good reasons why the reunion was trash.

1. Obviously

First of all, Nick Lachey, it’s not obvious who you are. There is a good chance everyone under 20 years old has never heard of you.

2. The lack of self-awareness is gone

The great thing about Love is Blind is the contestants had horse blinders on when it came to self-awareness. They were less blind about love than they were what would happen when social media got a hold on how petty so much of the series was. In the reunion, however, everyone is all about pseudo self-growth and self-awareness. Please. Spare me. You got dragged on social media and now you’re in damage control. Admit it.

3. Barnett’s jacket

One of the few people who appears to be reveling in the newfound fame is Barnett. His jacket is proof. Part epilepsy warning, part psychedelic zebra, the jacket is proof Barnett is trying to parlay his time on Love is Blind into celebrity/influencer/whatever.

4. Keyboard warriors

Seriously Lachey, STFU. The internet is part of our culture, and people commenting on how reality trashy the show is are not “keyboard warriors.” Virtually nobody was hiding from their comments about the insanity of the people on this show.

5. Carlton’s apology

Ugh. Did we really need that much time of Carlton and Diamond? While he was rambling, I made it through the first two Game of Thrones books. It would have been much better if he just said sorry, then mumbled under his breath, “but your wig is still sliding.”
