Love is Blind season 10 tests what it means to fall in love…again. Do looks, money, and other things matter when it comes to matters of the heart? Or can you fall in love with someone sight unseen? Again, we are watching a bunch of hopefuls navigate these questions in Love is Blind Season 10, Episodes 7-9 And since we can’t control ourselves (as evidenced by our Love is Blind Season 10 Episodes 1-6 breakdown and our breakdown for Episodes 7-9), here is our breakdown of Episodes 10-11 of season 10!
P.S. Need a reminder of the Love is Blind Season 10 cast? Read more here!
1. Okay, at this point, Chris has shown his true colors, and Alex has shown his true colors. In a battle of who’s worse, who wins?
Lyra: I think they’re both pretty trash. The difference is that Chris is a little more honest with his intentions and who he is. That allows you to clock a little faster that maybe he’s someone you don’t want to be involved with. Alex is the opposite. He convinces you that he’s all in and wants to do this whole marriage thing. But he has no answers, makes you question yourself when his stories don’t match up, and turns things around on Ashley all the time without taking any personal accountability. That right there makes Alex worse than Chris.
Lizzie: I think before this batch of episodes, I would have said Chris, but now I’m leaning towards Alex. Like, Chris is seriously unwell, don’t get me wrong. He has too high an opinion of himself, and he was disrespectful to Jessica, Connor, and Brie all at once. He’s no one’s friend, and he was a hypocrite, all around. People like that are the kind you don’t want in your life. But he’s very clearly bad.
Alex is more insidious in how bad he is, because he’s the kind of guy who will convince you that he’s good for you and that he wants the best for you, but not so deep down, he doesn’t respect you, care about you, or even wants to try to understand you. He sees you like a prize he won, a prize he deserves to win. So yeah, I think men like Alex might be worse.
2. What about Devonta? How are you feeling about him? Do you believe he’s really attracted to Brittany? Or are you still stuck on the fact that he only dates white women?
Lyra: As much as we want to believe in the magic of Love is Blind, physically is a part of the equation. And when those doors open during the engagement reveal, who these contestants fell in love with sight unseen clashes with who they see. The problem arrives when they don’t say something. And Devonta doesn’t find Brittany attractive and is too much of a coward to say it. Instead he’s dragging along Brittany because he doesn’t want to admit that looks matter more than he’d like to admit. Which, WHY DID YOU SIGN UP FOR THIS SHOW IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
Plus I can’t stop thinking about his first comments about Brittany and how “it just so happens that she’s a woman of color. That’s something I’ve never actually dated […].” That’s phrased really weird and episodes later I’ve never been able to get past it.
Lizzie: He’s 100% not attracted to Brittany. And the thing is, I think it’s fine to want a prenup. I don’t think that’s a problem. I, however, think he’s only using it as an excuse to have Brittany break up with him. Otherwise, he would have brought it up sooner. He’s trying to get out of the marriage without looking like the bad guy.
And I really can’t get over how his first interview after meeting Brittany was him talking about how he never dates WOC. Sir, you didn’t have to make it so obvious. But we clocked you fast. And you’ve done nothing to change our minds.
3. Bri and Connor broke up in this batch of episodes, and we’re not really sure why. Or what happened? What did you think about their conversation? Do you think they’ve got a chance to make it outside of the experiment?
Lyra: While I respect that Bri cut it off with Connor before they got to the altar, I have zero idea how we got here. It felt like Love is Blind once again dropped us in the middle of a conversation and it was jarring. They just had that really nice date on the train. And then we’re in their home and it looks like a breakup, but you aren’t sure if it’s a breakup, until it is. Why did you even come on this show if you weren’t ready? We’re in Season 10, people. You know what this show is about and STILL you continue being like this. Doesn’t make sense at all.
As for if they have a chance, honestly no. Bri’s comments about usually dating someone a little more dominant or “alpha” really rubbed me the wrong way. Did Chris’ words get to her? Or does she just usually like someone a little more outgoing? Either way, Connor was all in and ready to figure this thing out. She wasn’t. And it always makes me wonder what if they went with their other choice in the pods? Would it have worked out better? We’ll never know.
Lizzie: Weirdest breakup ever. Why did Bri even break up with him? I’m not sure, and I’m not sure she’s sure. Like he’s great, but she… doesn’t want to get married? Doesn’t want to get married so soon? It always baffles me when people come on Love is Blind, and then there’s like omg the timeline is insane. Yes, we know. You should know too. You literally signed up for it. Why are you pretending you didn’t know?
I will say, Connor was 100% in. And a part of me wants to believe these two could have worked it out afterwards, but I’m not so sure. What I do know is that it’s better for Bri to say no now if she wasn’t sure. There was no need to drag it down to the altar if she didn’t know if she could say yes. I respect that.
4. Which contestant has been your MVP this season? Why?
Lyra: Agree with Lizzie below about Jess. She knew who she was and didn’t make herself smaller. That takes strength and discipline. And I hope that she keeps remembering that as her personal life becomes a little more public because she did the show. I also gotta say I’ve been a little surprised by Amber. I can’t get past how she had Jess’ back. If there’s anything that comes out of the pods, you can always depend on female friendships.
Lizzie: Honestly, Jessica. I feel like sometimes, as women, we find ourselves in uncomfortable conversations, and we tend to make ourselves smaller because we’ve been taught to fit in. Jessica didn’t do that when Chris told her he wanted someone who did Pilates every day. Instead, she walked out of there with her head held high, and she didn’t entertain him when he wanted to talk about things afterwards. She was clear with him, and she was very clear about who she was. I’m proud of her, and though this isn’t something I usually say about Love Is Blind, I think we got a lot to learn from her.
5. The weddings are here! Who will get married and who won’t?
Lyra: Vic and Christine are the only ones that are going to get married in this season of Love is Blind. If I wasn’t convinced before then the whole conversation between them during their date where her voice was literally cracking… that woman is in. And with the way he was looking at her, so is he. My only wish is that Netflix would’ve given us more of these. Because they keep focusing on the drama while forgetting that we’re here to see people find love sight unseen. So we need to see more of the good moments. And those good moments were Vic and Christine.
As for everyone else, none of these people are going to get married. And that’s a shame because the show spent soooooo much time on them.
Lizzie: Vic and Christine are the only ones I’m putting my hands on the fire for. And I think they’re probably still married. They give a success story. I’m also very much convinced the reason we’re even seeing them is that the production thought the same and they wanted at least one couple who was going to make it. Because I don’t think the rest will. And hey, better for Emma. You don’t want Mike if what you fundamentally want is so different. And Jordan and Amber are just not compatible, lifestyle-wise. Devonta doesn’t even like Brittany. And Ashley needs to run away from Alex, pronto.
Love is Blind Season 10 Episodes 1-11 are available on Netflix. The season finale is set to premiere March 4th.
