His candy, loving character and powerful household values received 1,000,000 hearts — and admittedly, his dreamy eyes might need helped too, together with a physique that implies carrying coffins for a residing is an effective way to construct energy.

However from the second he and Catherine, 29, began chatting within the pods, it was clear that they had been a nasty match, a proven fact that was crystal clear to everybody besides the couple themselves. After many hours of viewers screaming “Nooooo!” on the TV, issues performed out precisely how all of us anticipated: they didn’t undergo with the marriage, thank goodness.

So, the place does that depart Freddie now, with no spouse that we all know of however nearly 250,000 Instagram followers who most likely aren’t simply there in case he shares a humorous meme? In keeping with his Insta, he’s nonetheless working as a funeral director and describes his kind of girl as “any person right down to earth.” Whether or not he’s met that somebody stays a thriller for now however, with the assist of the world behind him, will probably be attention-grabbing to see what occurs subsequent. Will he get a star girlfriend? Might he mannequin? Is funeral influencing a factor?

Reply: Freddie’s love life nonetheless stays a thriller! Will there be a rush on funerals up north as girls clamor to satisfy him?

Is Catherine … OK?

Who else began out considering Catherine was probably the most annoying girl on earth after which wound up feeling slightly sorry for her? The important thing second for Us was when her mother and father first appeared: they had been so candy and regular!

The final we noticed of Cat, she was getting an “I don’t” from Freddie — as a result of, as established, mainly all they’d in widespread was being sizzling — and had not taken it significantly properly. However quick ahead to now, and she or he’s residing with one other man from the present and appears comfortable. Nevertheless, that is Cat we’re speaking about, so when she seems on the reunion present there are certain to be fireworks.

Will she make Freddie remorse his rejection? Will she flirt with Sam once more regardless of having a boyfriend? And what number of occasions will she insist that, really, she doesn’t exit to fancy golf equipment that usually?

Reply: Catherine and Freddie had been shockingly cheap when talking about their cut up on the reunion and she or he appears to be in a very good place, even laughing at how a lot of her time within the pods she spent crying. Oh, however then she cried once more. Somebody get this girl an Insta collab with Kleenex, stat.

Did the Irish Sea Come Between Sabrina and Steven?

If these two haven’t made it, love isn’t blind, it’s useless. The romance between Sabrina and Steven was most likely probably the most drama-free of the entire present. They’d prompt chemistry, shared values and regarded epically cute collectively. All of it simply labored.

Certain, there have been just a few potential setbacks — he lived in London, England, and she or he in Belfast, Northern Eire, and he was determined for teenagers, whereas she wasn’t certain — however weaker {couples} have conquered these situations.

The issue is, Netflix are being all evil and manipulative and making us assume issues haven’t labored out, by positioning them aside in promo photographs and sharing this extremely ominous clip from the reunion present.

So, we’re protecting every part crossed that that is an anti-spoiler and that Steven and Sabrina aren’t even speaking about one another. Are you able to be gaslit by a streaming service?

Reply: Nooooooo! Netflix weren’t gaslighting us in spite of everything, Sabrina and Steven have formally damaged up. And it sounds messy.

The ex-couple blamed long-distance and poor communication for the no-mance, with Steven solely visiting Sabrina in Northern Eire twice (the place she says she even supplied him with an ironing board and a French press. Ooh, petty!) whereas she flew to see him in London seven occasions. “You made no changes for me!” stated Sabrina, whereas Steven stated he didn’t acknowledge “the individual I believed I married.”

Devastating. We must always have identified it was over after we realized Sabrina had removed her trademark bangs: the place there’s a messy break-up, there’s all the time a brand new coiffure.

Has Jasmine’s Mother Chilled Out a Bit?

The opposite couple who simply appeared to effortlessly work collectively had been Jasmine and Bobby … till Jasmine’s fiercely protecting mother was introduced in to meddle. Clearly a candy woman who’d been given a mission to stir issues up and inject some jeopardy into this seemingly flawless relationship, she actually took the transient and ran with it — a lot so, that she ended up issuing an announcement by way of TikTok apologizing for calling Bobby “uneducated” and explaining that English wasn’t her first language.

By the point the marriage day rolled round, she had softened, seemingly realizing what everybody else had about Jasmine and Bobby: they had been completely lovable collectively!

It will likely be very attention-grabbing to seek out out if these two have gone the gap — and if not, whether or not mama had something to do with it.

Reply: Bobby and Jasmine are nonetheless good! They actually have a “Mr. and Mrs. Johnson” chopping board of their kitchen; we’d count on nothing much less. That takes the sting out of the Steven and Sabrina cut up slightly, proper?

And as for mother, she now “110 %” approves of Bobby. Yay, fortunately ever after, and so they’re even “engaged on having children as we converse.” Wow.

Have Tom and Natasha Reconnected?

Some Love Is Blind UK viewers assume Tom is a serious villain who ought to have been extra accepting of his cultural variations with Maria — or a minimum of not waited till the marriage to alter his thoughts. Others assume it simply took him longer than it ought to have to comprehend they weren’t proper collectively, which could have one thing to do with Tom being a person and Maria being smoking sizzling.

Big waste of make-up apart, it appeared proper that these two didn’t find yourself getting married. However what we actually wish to know is whether or not Tom has attached with Natasha, the opposite girl he favored within the pods, for the reason that final present. Whereas it didn’t really feel like they’d as a lot chemistry as he clearly did with Maria, they completely regarded like a very regular couple you’d meet at a marriage after which immediately neglect the names of.

Reply: Tom and Natasha – or Tash, as Tom was permitted to name her within the pods — aren’t remotely a factor; in actual fact, till every week earlier than the reunion present, they hadn’t even been in touch. 

And non-wife Maria remains to be fairly indignant with Tom too after watching again a few of his phrases on the present, with him admitting that the experiment “shone a lightweight alone flaws.” And never the sort of flaws that even a horny make-up may repair, sadly.

Mainly, Tom is useless to everybody. However Maria and Tash are buddies, in order that’s one thing?

Will Sam Ever Get One other Date?

A lot of the Love Is Blind singles (and viewers) had been satisfied that Sam, who was briefly engaged to Nicole, had solely signed as much as seem on the present for fame. Actuality (TV) verify: absolutely everybody on Love Is Blind needs to be a minimum of slightly well-known, in any other case they’d simply make do with Hinge like each different thirsty grown-up?

However sure, Sam was portrayed as ego-driven (did you discover how he requested Nicole what she considered how he regarded earlier than saying whether or not he favored her?), and now fairly probably regrets the entire thing. If he exhibits as much as the reunion, he’s a courageous man. And he’s simply made his IRL relationship life a complete lot tougher too, since absolutely no girl would exit with him after seeing how he got here throughout on TV.

The issue is, this man lives in London however already half of America is aware of him intimately. Plus, even in nations the place Love Is Blind doesn’t air, google exists.

Reply: Sam admitted that the previous couple of weeks haven’t been simple, because of the “backlash” he’s skilled, however we’re undecided all of the “he stated, she stated” stuff that got here up on the reunion present will do him any favors both.

As soon as once more, Demi was heroic, urging Sam to apologize to Nicole for claiming he had turned her down for intercourse. Possibly if Sam simply tries to maintain Demi’s voice in his head always he’ll do OK?

Was Demi’s Relationship the Biggest Love of All?

Demi and Ollie: doomed. Demi and Demi: properly, as Whitney Houston as soon as sang, to like your self is the best love of all, and that’s how Demi got here out of the present.

In a low-key means, Demi went on the largest journey out of any of the singles. She began out feeling insecure about her love life and her physique picture (regardless of oozing gorgeousness from each pore), however ended on a excessive, with no husband however all the arrogance on this planet. Certainly that’s extra invaluable than any ring?

In keeping with her Instagram, she’s been doing a ton of touring for the reason that present, in addition to persevering with to boost consciousness of endometriosis, however whether or not she and Ollie carried on relationship after she rejected him on the altar stays a thriller for now. We sort of hope not — Ollie was cute, however this woman deserves a person who doesn’t make her doubt herself. Go Demi!

Reply: Demi 2.0 remains to be going sturdy! Fairly unsurprisingly, Demi and Ollie didn’t proceed relationship after the marriage that by no means was, however the non-couple stay on good phrases. “Ollie’s a very good man however he’s not my man,” she stated on the reunion present. “No person may give me validation aside from myself.”

In the meantime, Ollie’s doing properly too, awkwardly admitting that he’s relationship “pod squad” member Sharlotte. So, a contented ending, wedding ceremony or no wedding ceremony.

Does Anybody Care About Benaiah and Nicole?

With a mutual love of … properly, it primarily gave the impression to be friendship bracelets, Benaiah and Nicole went by an terrible lot of drama courtesy of Sam earlier than making it down the aisle. With out Sam messing with their minds, although, they had been simply sort of boringly nice, like a standard couple you may really get pleasure from hanging out with in actual life, not an overblown actuality TV one.

Whereas that’s pretty for them, it’s not that thrilling to observe. If Sam was an actor or a plant or only a regulation unbearable fool, we’re grateful to him for spicing issues up. Within the final episode, with the present’s token villain lengthy gone, Nicole and Benaiah acquired their happy-for-now ending. In the event that they’re nonetheless collectively, they’re most likely having a beautiful time touring and doing yoga and consuming kale. In the event that they’re not … we’re over it already.

Reply: Main Love Is Blind success story alert! They’d a rocky begin, however Benaiah and Nicole are clearly head over heels in love, with their relationship now showing far more enjoyable and lighthearted than it did on the present.

They appear nice collectively too, and the way cute was the key footage of Nicole dancing within the pod after their first “date”? OK, we take all of it again, possibly they’re not boring in spite of everything, they’re lovable.
