love is patient love is kind and
according to Netflix is hit reality
dating show love is blind the series
followed contestants as they got engaged
to total strangers without seeing their
faces a concept which set up plenty of
cringe-worthy situations here are the
most awkward moments we witnessed love
is blind is hosted by married couple
Nick and Vanessa Lachey but their
minimal screen time left some viewers
wondering if the reality show even
required hosts as noted by vulture the
Lachey's appear throughout the first
season for a grand total of 13 minutes
excluding the bonus reunion episode but
despite the minimal screen time Nick
managed to deliver one of the show's
most awkward moments in the very first
episode after Vanessa introduced herself
Nick kicked the witness up a notch I'm
Vanessa Lachey
I'm obviously Nick Lachey viewers were
quick to point out Nick's choice of
words and it didn't take long for the
former boyband star to poke a little fun
at himself as well he tweeted obviously
you guys are loving love is blind so
obviously we had to do a reunion special
by the way I'm obviously Nick Lachey
Carlton Morton and amber pike might have
been two of the most outspoken
contestants on the show but as viewers
quickly learned their similar demeanors
weren't enough to ignite a spark between
the two of them during the season
premiere viewers watched as amber talked
to Colton about her non-existent daddy
issues and Canton grew visibly
uninterested as a big tomboy like I
wanted to work on cars by the end
kontin quietly made his way out of the
pod without saying goodbye leaving amber
alone to talk to a wall hello
[Music]
Jessica button was at the center of
countless awkward moments on the show
but one moment stood out from the rest
on episode 6 viewers watched as she and
her fiance Mark Cuevas had yet another
confusing discussion about their
relationship with Jessica expressing her
apprehensiveness about her age
difference as well as marked super close
relationship with his mother he won't
stop talking about his mom
and unlike but the most cringe-worthy
moment came when Jessica nonchalantly
allowed her dog to lick her wine
whispering quote she loves wine Jessica
later confessed to Entertainment Weekly
that she doesn't even recall the
buzzed-about moment claiming I don't
even remember doing it I don't know why
I did that but it was definitely
unnecessary for sure while diamond Jack
didn't make it to the altar with former
fiancee contra Morton
she was so popular with fans that she
was invited to join the cast for the
reunion in which she and Carlton
officially made amends apology still the
former dancer provided plenty of
entertainment throughout her short time
on the show during her first pod date
with Barnett Diamond delighted viewers
after he took a cheap shot at her name
diamond okay
how you doing diamond I heard it your
voice like questioned it so which strip
club you okay well Barnett said he was
kidding
diamond was having none of his nonsense
telling him she was docking five points
from his score keep moving the show
might be called love is blind but for
Barnett a more fitting title might have
been lust is confusing do you really
think that you can find a way what do
you think I don't do that we don't have
time for games here throughout the first
three episodes of season one Barnett
struggled with his feelings for three
women Jessica
Elsie and amber and as viewers witnessed
Barnett's initial inability to make a
decision led to more than a few awkward
conversations they all would make
excellent wives and it's difficult
because I'm becoming emotionally
attached to all of them during one pod
date with Jessica Barnett mentioned
wanting to propose to her subsequently
causing Jessica to put mark on
the backburner but during their
following pod date Barnett confessed he
wasn't planning to propose to Jessica at
all is it true that yeah stuff are the
same way you felt last night about me I
don't know not only was it painfully
awkward to watch Jessica discover
Barnett's true feelings it was even more
uncomfortable to watch her drunkenly
confront Barnett's future fiance amber
with a warning bye-bye now do we
I'm just I know he's a boy I just walked
out on him needless to say the whole
situation was totally cringe-worthy as
any fan knows jessica was 34 and Mark
was 24 and Jessica made sure to remind
mark of the 10-year age gap throughout
nearly every conversation they had
viewers got to watch as Jessica laid out
the math for Mark who seemed more than
ready to never talk about his age again
by episode 6 we have a kid like 30
you're 26 cool again mark assured
Jessica he was down with whatever the
future would bring but she didn't stop
there in 10 years if the kid the kids
like eight years old that's when your
parents would be 75 years old well we
understand Jessica's perspective the
entire interaction felt like one big
cringe-worthy math problem the couple
would never solve Giannina job Ellie and
Damion powers are two people who would
have likely never dated in the real
world so it was a shock to see them form
such a connection on the show she even
shook up the gender norm by getting down
on one knee to propose to Damion during
their final pod date after he did of
course will you marry me
Damion powers will you marry me but it
didn't take long for the couple's
compatibility to be tested with Damien
asking G to watch her language and keep
her political opinions to herself
but the most shocking moment of their
engagement came when G chastised Damien
for his skills in the bedroom on episode
7 you know it's army
this is the best sex of your life have
you noticed that I don't return the
compliment
yikes we can't blame Damien for hiding
under the covers
Lauren speed and Cameron Hilton were the
first couple to get engaged on the show
and the lovebirds managed to maintain
their fan favorite stasis throughout the
series ultimately tying the knot in the
season finale but while their
relationship was far more sweet than
awkward Cameron gave us all a case of
second-hand embarrassment when he busted
out a rap for Lauren's mum Pam during
their first meeting when we performed a
little bit
Pam then asked her daughter's fiance to
give her a taste of his talent after a
little hesitation
Cameron burst into a rap I'm living in
the dream and those haters wonder why
well I'm so high up that I feel like I
can fly as much as we love the guy we
can't unhear what we heard on episode 6
viewers watched as the newly engaged
barnett and amber got honest about money
specifically Amber's financial situation
as I've only got one credit card it's my
make up credit card but it's only a $700
limit while barnett was visibly
uncomfortable with discovering his new
fiance he had a credit card dedicated
solely to beauty products the real
kicker came when amber opened up to
Barnett about her student loan debt
there's my student debt where I never
graduated college we talked about 20
grands while the couple ultimately chose
love over crippling debt and tied the
knot during the season finale
Barnett's reaction to Amber's confession
left viewers feeling like they were
witnessing a conversation better suited
for off-camera
thanks to their respective histories
with barnett amber and jessica weren't
exactly BFFs unsurprisingly their
relationship was made even more
contentious by Jessica's lingering
feelings for Barnett on episode 9 the
women hit the town for a joint
bachelorette party which overflowed with
both alcohol and drama jessica is a mess
occur tonight okay a mess during the
celebration an inebriated Jessica
approached amber wrapping her fellow
contestant in the hug and drunkenly
telling her
Amba who had long been suspicious of
Jessica responded by saying she would
have thrown punches had she tried to
make a move on Barnett surprisingly
Amber's confession didn't seem to faze
Jessica who tops off their alcohol
fueled gal chat with a cringe-worthy
sloppy kiss
despite their tumultuous relationship
she was more than prepared to say I do
to Damien on their wedding day
but when Damien tearfully responded with
an I do not the almost bride did what
any reasonable level-headed adult would
do when confronted with the same
situation she ran away it would be
selfish for me to marry you today
knowing as much as you tell me you're
ready I see that you're not jeez runaway
bride moment had been teased since the
promos for the show were first released
but the fun soon turned to secondhand
embarrassment when G slipped on the wet
grass outside of the wedding venue out
of here get me out of here
done things were only made worse by G's
mother who ran after her daughter and
attempted to comfort her saying thanks
for pointing out the obvious Nick Lachey
while their relationship was far less
dramatic than those of their fellow
contestants kelly chase and kenny barnes
sent a shockwave through love is blind
fandom when she rejected fan favorite
kenny at the altar i love you
I don't after delivering her breakup
speech kelly walked away leaving kenny
to apologize to their wedding guests
while Kelly's own mother watched him
adoringly i love each and every one of
y'all and and it's something that I'll
cherish and be grateful for for forever
so but moments later Kenny was far less
collected while talking to the cameras
when asked if he'd be open to marry and
Kelly in the future Kenny responded I
really can't that question right now
and it's completely you have to actually
you know respect the fact that I'm
telling you this I don't know
unfortunately for Kenny production
continued awkwardly pressing him for
answers I'm not gonna have things
they'll please stop recording Jimmy
despite seemingly airing their
differences at the bachelorette party
amber and Jessica's relationship was
rockier than ever during the love is
blind reunion special a newly blonde
amber let it all out
telling Jessica your sheisty you're so
fake coming to my face like we were cool
you were so fake revealing that watching
her actions on screen had been quote
brutal Jessica offered an apology saying
obviously I was rejected by Burnett I
didn't take that very well
I've super respect them balls I respect
their relationship but amber made it
clear she wasn't ready to move on pushed
by Vanessa Lachey to accept Jessica's
apology amber boo grudgingly said I
accept the intent behind the apology I
can't be fully there yet yeah awkward
