This week we close our discussion of season 4 of Love is Blind (Netflix) with a specific focus on the hot mess express that was the Reunion finale.
We skip right over the fact that it failed at it's promise to be the first reunion broadcast 'live' and get right into the all the missed opportunities and disappointing lines of questioning we had endure at the hands of hosts, Nick and Vanessa Lachey. Are we really gonna let Kwame get away his well rehearsed (but there's a lot left unsaid) apology?; Why is Irina the only mean girl catching heat when Micah is also sitting right next to her?; Did we just witness the live (but not really) gaslighting of Paul?; That's ALL you have to say to Jackie while you cruelly dump on Marshall again!?; Vanessa why are you trying to get everyone pregnant? .... We ask all these important questions and more as we contemplate whether the commitment to fairytale premise of the show gets in the way of making this show in a way that is both entertaining and ethical in its care and treatment of the participants.
