Love is Blind Season 11 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 Season 11 of the series. And since we can’t control ourselves (as evidenced by our breakdown of the first 5 episodes, Episodes 6 through 8, Episodes 9 through 11, and Episode 12), here is our breakdown of Episode 12 of Season 11!
P.S. Need a reminder of the Love is Blind Season 11 cast? Read more here!
1. How did Nick and Vanessa do in their hosting duties for the Love is Blind Season 11 reunion?
Lizzie: They never ask the important questions. Rob wasn’t grilled nearly enough, and wild stuff is said without them ever challenging it, almost like they don’t want to deviate from their plan? It’s very frustrating, because I feel like we continue to leave reunion after reunion without accountability or hey, even information we want! Also, I think we’re way past the point where we need to ask these women why. Sarah saw all the red flags and willingly walked down the aisle, so girl needed to be questioned for sure.
Lyra: For the Season 10 of Love is Blind reunion, we saw an improvement in the way that Vanessa and Nick interview the cast members. But Season 11? Nah. They went so soft on everyone. And I get it, the season was boring in a lot of respects. But Vanessa and Nick really weren’t challenging anyone. And if they’re not going to do anything and let this experience feel like the cast members are driving this car, why do we need hosts anymore?
But I will say, shoutout to Vanessa for being the one to get up and actually help Michaella. Some of them jumped for a second. But only Vanessa actually was there. I just wish they actually held Rob accountable for that drinking…
2. Were you surprised how everything went down with Sarah and John? Who do you believe?
Lizzie: No! Sarah had a bouquet of red flags by the time she got to the wedding, and she still chose to marry the man. I mean, I’m not happy he turned mean and didn’t help around the house and then went and cheated on her, but I cannot say I’m surprised by it. Sarah shouldn’t be surprised by it! And there’s no question of who to believe here; John proved he was the man we always thought he was. I have no sympathy for him, and I don’t think he deserves any “redemption.” He’s just saying what he thought we needed to hear.
Lyra: Not surprised at all when it comes to Sarah and John. She saw the red flags. She even said the day before her wedding that this was going to end with him cheating on her. And now you’re crying? I just don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who know that they’re walking into a fire and then act all shocked Pikachu face when they get burned. You knew.
Even then, John was trash. And he proves that conservative men want progressive women to willingly choose to be in a cage. Even then, that’s not going to stop them from cheating on you, as John proved.
3. A lot of audience members were interrupting. Any favorites or should they all shut up?
Lizzie: Everyone should shut up, but Scott and John’s dad should especially shut up. Like, the thing is, I understand that these men were allowed to speak because DRAMA, but if they don’t even use this drama to discuss the situation, then what’s the point of the drama? Who cares if John had a bible if he was cheating on his wife with an escort? The cognitive dissonance!
Basically, in a season with so many issues, there should have been a lot more questions and a lot fewer opinions from people who weren’t the main characters of the drama.
Lyra: Everyone in the audience should’ve shut up. Because they were adding nothing to the conversation. John’s dad didn’t need to speak up, even if that’s his son. Why? Because John accepted he did something wrong and was fine with accepting the consequences. And Scott, he needs to mind his business. Because what business of his is it to come at people like this? Also when he called Morrey “boy” I clocked what kind of man he is.
As for Murray himself, he’s just as bad as beekeeper. Ain’t no one ask for your input. It felt like they were trying to get their 15 seconds of fame. And it was cringe. Even some of the women were speaking directly into their mics cuz they weren’t getting the attention they wanted. You’re not part of the narrative of an already boring season. Chill.
4. For a season full of toxic men, how do you feel about the men being the only ones to get montages?
Lizzie: Everything about this reunion was so annoying, and I think I was already so annoyed when I realized this that it was just the cherry on top of a very horrible sundae. Like, who cares? Truly, I don’t care about Blake and his adventurous life. I don’t care about any of these men. I don’t even care about the women, but let’s at least play fair and show them.
Lyra: Yeah only having a montage of the horrible red pill men hanging out together was a choice for the Love is Blind Season 11 reunion. It emphasized that the show didn’t think they did anything wrong. Also, it made it seem like the women and their lives don’t matter. They’re just there to show their pretty faces and explain why they didn’t get married. Boring.
5. From Blake to Rob, what in the PR training were a lot of these answers?
Lizzie: I’m gonna give it to them; they studied past reunions and tried their best to convince us that they weren’t that bad, and if they ever were, they’d learned their lesson. John tried too, don’t get me wrong; he just couldn’t fully commit to accountability because sometimes the trash comes out even through the PR training. And since Vanessa and Nick are horrible at holding people accountable, they didn’t have to answer that many uncomfortable questions.
We should be glad Morrey skipped the mandatory PR training. He was trash, but entertaining trash, I guess.
Lyra: It honestly felt like these cast members didn’t take accountability for anything. And that just makes for boring TV where there is no good guy or bad guy. But it also emphasizes how fake this is and how time in the spotlight is just a money making machine and that’s it. Which, I get it is and I know that. But a part of great reality TV is the illusion. This season of Love is Blind had none of that especially in the reunion.
6. How did the Love is Blind Season 11 reunion compare to the previous seasons?
Lizzie: Maybe the worst one we’ve had? It’s a combination of I don’t care about any of these people; nothing asked seemed important; the drama wasn’t even that good, and there was absolutely no redeeming value to watching this trainwreck. Best part was Vanessa’s fit and the song at the end!
Lyra: Boring. That’s what Love is Blind Season 11 was. Not even fun boring. Just boring boring. At least last season we Vic and Christine to hold on to. Who do we have in this season? Nothing. That’s who. And it begs the question, if Love is Blind can’t even invest in their own experiment, then why should viewers?
Also, the editing. It really was this final episode that helped me clock how they really tried to make Aneha the annoying woman and just that like Cam had no problems. And he did. He had plenty of problems. And instead of showing those, they made Aneha the sole villain in this. Ehhhh boring overall.
All episodes of Love is Blind Season 11 are available on Netflix.
