Huge Love Is Blind Controversy 

"The worst people you know also deserve safe working conditions" is simultaneously both a boiling hot and freezing cold take (that is 100% correct)

tbh Brett's meltdown about the pants made so much sense to me. He and Tiffany were the only ones that seemed dead set on getting married because they're madly in love, so Brett wanting everything to be perfect (especially the outfit he's wearing for his wedding) is very on brand for someone who actually cares about the big day. Sometimes I cringe at how bad the fits of the dresses are because of how quickly they had to throw their outfits together so I honestly liked that Brett cared that much haha

After hearing about how sleep deprived they were, their only beverage was alcohol, and they could never leave with their wallets and phones taken away, I was horrified. No wonder people fell asleep on set and were mean. I wonder if some people’s attitudes were due to being drunk. This production deserves to be sued. This abuse, neglect, and everything else is not ok. I get reality shows are not real, but these people are employees. Treat them well.

I think it’s time for Netflix to admit that this “experiment” has failed. Watching all these people get hurt and emotionally traumatized isn’t fun

Jarvis is like a shield, he protects me so I don’t get hit directly in the face with love is blind, thank you for your service

‘I usually go for witchy girls’ made me think he’s specifically looking for 2013 era tumblr girls who steal bones from local graveyards to curse some other blogger

Can we talk about how messed up Vanessa Lachey’s baby comments are? Like damn, not everyone wants or can have children. You never know what someone is going through in regards to fertility issues etc. I just felt so gross every time she started to pressure contestants into having kids immediately.

me (a gay man) and my husband have never heard any of those as homophobic terms either and i was like "damn babe we missed it, new slurs dropped" 😂

I hate dating shows, but I like having Jarvis tell me about them anyways. Like a friend who tells you about a hobby you don’t enjoy, but you like how happy it makes them to talk about it.

Women like jackie piss me off for a lot of reasons but one of the main ones is that she just enforces toxic masculinity standards. I WANT a guy that doesn’t yell and isn’t aggressive; someone who expresses their emotions and is kind to everyone. Her telling Marshall he’s less of a man simply because he didn’t want to treat her like shit is so messed up. Like it’s one thing to want a “traditionally masculine” man, but it’s another to put another man down for just being his own healthy person. Ugh. (Also this doesn’t excuse anything either of them said)

you're laughing. he found himself a blarning stone and you're laughing.

Bj investigates went through the lawsuit filed against Netflix and the most concerning thing for me was that it stated production withheld their phones, wallets, (credit cards/cash, I.D and all), passports, and hotel room keys. Cast members were shuttled to and from the love is blind set and their individual hotel rooms daily by crew members who couldn’t talk to them. They didn’t have a way of leaving even if they wanted to! They couldn’t order food to their hotel room because they had no money, and even if they’d managed to get a couple dollars for the vending machine from a stranger, they didn’t have keys to their own room! On the love is blind set, there wasn’t really any water available, while the alcohol was fully stocked 24/7. If you were thirsty, you had no other option than to drink alcohol. manipulating the environment while restricting individual rights to freedom and autonomy is psychological torture for the sake of content. As an additional slap to the face, Netflix most definitely underpaid these people ( lower than minimum wage in CA) and does not provide mental health resources after the show. It’s truly disgusting stuff

I was so annoyed that Jackelina didn't get any actual flak for what she had done

That's some advanced homophobia, that girl has a homophobia liguistics degree like wtf lmao

Jackie saying when she heard Josh's voice at the party it gave her PTSD and she knew she needed to be Whit him, will forever be one of the funniest shit I ever heard on a tv show.

Why aren't there shows about people gaining a group of friends or like joining in one. We have enough dating shows. let's see someone become best friends

1:20 Jarvis sitting in his little corner away from everyone is one of the most relatable things ever

Never watched an episode of the show and never will. Thanks Jarvis for your hard-hitting reporting to keep me up to date on internet drama

I wonder if all the bare feet is because of the shoes and the exhaustion. Everyone's expected to dress super nice, which usually means uncomfortable shoes (especially the women are probably expected to wear heels etc.). If the shoot days are actually this grueling and run into late hours of the night, that wears a person down. People were probably just tired with achy feet, locked either in the 'pod' or the home they're all sharing and no option to change their wardrobe since they're being filmed. If they want to prop their legs up on a sofa for a break, the shoes have to go.

I definitely feel like the deprivation of food and sleep and contact (which are literal torture methods btw) is to get the contestants more emotionally unstable, dramatic, and ready to "fall in love". People scoff because they signed up for it, but there was little way to know that the conditions would be so harsh, and by the time they realize they are basically forced to stay by heavy financial consequences.

Zack posted a video of the song thing pre-edit. He literally before he sings it that it's not an original, it's by one of his favorite bands, and he changed the lyrics. So definitely the edit did him bad on that one 😬

Wait if this is free… who did I pay $20 to watch this video?

Actually on Tiktok, Zach showed a clip of where the editors completely left out that he said it was a song from one of his favorite artist and he just changed some of the lyrics for Irina. So it really goes to show the editors leave out a lot of stuff.

So, without revealing too much personal info, I do happen to know that one of the "villainized" people from s1 had to spend a significant amount of time in in patient mental health treatment after a serious mental breakdown as a direct result of being on the show. (Not publicized info so I'm trying to be vague) But I think we've seen enough from production on this show to know something is up and they are intentionally setting up volatile situations and pushing certain edits to make a storyline, which would be great if these weren't actual real people who have to go back to their lives after this.

"and everyone's DOGS were out" "raw toes" 😭

Jarvis bestie, you need to collab with Kennie JD for these types of videos!! She’s scary accurate with her predictions and I think y’all would bounce off each other well!!

I was surprised Jarvis didn't catch on about the sugar tank thing bc I consider myself oblivious with Southern/Black AAVE and that's a common phrase I knew growing up 💀 calling a guy sweet, sugar in the tank, anything like that is just a way to say gay without saying it

What, you thought Brett and Tiffany were boring? I personally love seeing unproblematic Black love on full display and being normalized.

"You smell like owl" "I am owl" *gets married*

This has been happening on The Bachelor for way too long and no one speaks up because they’re scared of getting sued. I’m so glad the LIB cast is finally speaking the truth!!

the manipulation mentioned about this show is truly present is borderline every reality show ever. Cannot stress this enough. People who don't work in TV or who aren't aware of how tv works often underestimate just how bad the environment is.

as someone who is binging all your old videos after finding your channel a couple weeks ago, i am SO impressed with your growth as not only a person but as a channel ! you are such an incredible human with an amazing ability to articulate your thoughts in a well put together manner. you’re also hilarious!! ps, i’m living for the ‘stache you got going on rn !!! keep doing you, you’re fucking awesome 👏🏻

Love is Blind, and so is the HR department

I could listen to Jarvis talk about reality shows I've never seen for hours and hours

Fun fact: In the US, if an engagement ring is given as a gift as part of an agreement for understanding of marriage, legally the guy can get the ring back. However if it is a gift for the person’s birthday or something like Christmas and you propose, it’s considered less a symbol of an agreement and becomes the person’s property outright, having been associated with a gift giving occasion. Especially if it’s in lieu of other presents. So if someone proposes on Christmas and you break up, the girl keeps the ring. Just had my first wedding anniversary literally yesterday and have absolutely zero use for this knowledge, but I’ve always found it interesting (kind of like how I know way too much about when it’s illegal for people to be able to see you walking around naked from your windows!)

Thank you for addressing Big Mouthwash in this. More people should be talking about this.

Of all the names from Elden Ring... Godfrey?! Sorry babe, I ain't got time for that shit, I need to take Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy to football practice.

The whole feet thing is strange because it happens in other reality shows too. In like season 4-5 of Real Housewives of New Jersey there are several scenes where a husband is all up on his wife's feet ON CAMERA. Like sniffing, kissing, making sexual comments about her feet...it's so gross

Sweet is good. Sensitive is good. Expressive is good. Gay is good. Bi is good. Pan is good. These haters have SO much unresolved trauma

Honestly though, I love Brett and Tiffany just being boring, like yes, no drama. Give them nothing!

The grown man trying to name his kid after Godrick the Grafted killed me. Like how do you think that's gonna go? Are you gonna explain that to them in 10 years? Do you think any grade schooler will be able to resist making fun of a name like that? What a wild wild idea it is to do that

This season revealed to me that a lot less people than I thought know about "I hope you dance" I thought everyone knows a universal sweet but depressing song.

QUICK NOTE: The reunion live show DID actually happen... if you were in Canada LMAO. But anywhere else you were out of luck

Zach chose Irina because of her family background. He felt like her family would not judge him because they had humble beginnings as well.

I was under the impression Marshal made that jaw comment as a logical contention to Jackie calling him sweet. Like one aspect of my person that’s typically masculine/feminine means I’m automatically this. But I could be wrong…

This is Danny’s second channel, where he gets goofy and wacky and drinks a sparkling water.

as a trans man, I really wanna go on one of these shows, tell no one when applying that I'm trans and making it a big reveal that I'm the first trans contestant on a marrage game show and get kicked off immeditately

I think Zach chose Irina because he was so insecure about being with someone who comes from a close family and he felt like he didn't have to worry about that with Irina.

Love may be blind, but Jarvis ain’t blind to this show’s inadequacies!

I don't know if this is mean/out of line but... I find it ironic Irena said Zach looked like a cartoon when she literally looks like a cartoon chipmunk 😅😆

"Brewing potions, like kombucha" that shit made me laugh since I ferment kombucha and kefir at home lmao. Guess I'm a witch

Zack posted the entire song clip on one of his social media channels. After he says he wrote the song, he clarifies and says, "well I didn't write the original song, it's a song by my favorite band Ludo that I changed a few words too." I guess the lawyer in him was not going to let people think he lied, which I understand.

imagine Jarvis Johnson! GOLD isnt actually free and hes secretly siphoning money from our bank accounts

I liked this format a lot. It felt like a mini podcast and the fewer edits meant I could have it on in the background and not miss any jokes or context. Awesome video Jarvis! Also you're style is great!

Regardless of whether Netflix's edit made it seem like Zack tried to take credit for writing that song... they still owe us compensation for making us listening to him singing... twice... 😄

So as someone who cant drink due to being on multiple heart medications, the whole thing about alcohol being the only drink consistently provided is terrifying. Yes healthy people also deserve to have their basic necessities met and not be plastered as their only option, even suggesting otherwise is insane. but there are so many reasons why people might not want to drink, medication, past addiction, general dietary restrictions. this set up could genuinely get someone killed and that netflix has done it for four seasons is unreasonable.

Why the hell is it so hard to just treat your contestants like human beings…

This show is insane to me because I started dating my partner without seeing their face. We never saw each other without a mask on other than on social media, and they dont post their face, so i just didn't really know what they looked like. So i got the love is blind experience without being forced to like talk through a wall.

I can’t watch reality shows due to intense secondhand embarrassment so I love to see you summarize them! Thank you for your service lmao

Let’s not forget how Netflix did the viewers dirty by not properly testing the live stream feature before hand, leaving viewers in the dust

I totally read this as "huge love, is blind controversy" at first. 😅 Much love, Golden Jarvis!!

this felt like when you catch up with a friend and they tell you all the tea, lol. i loved it.

Oh my god having someone sing a song to you one on one is the most uncomfortable experience a person can have honestly

I definitely believe the allegations of mistreatment on the show--I knew someone who was on one of the seasons of the bachelor in the late 2000s, and she described how they just constantly gave them alcohol, denied water, denied food and would wake them up randomly in the middle of the night to do confessionals. She said she would wake up some days at 4 am and there would be a producer handing her a glass of wine and telling her it was time to get up for the day.

Jarvis after rewatching that "dating based on outfits" video i have to say your accessorizing is getting so much better u look like a cool boy!!!

So people are being forced to pay $50,000 if they decide to leave unsafe working and living conditions... is that not some form of slavery? That sounds almost like indentured servitude. I don't see how that would hold up in court.

As someone who lived in Seattle for a while, I knew EXACTLY what Paul meant when he said he usually dates witchy girls who brew potions and kombucha 😅 I'll admit, even I went thru a kombucha brewing era while I was living there

5:06 Season 1 white rapper Cameron actually has a RU-vid channel with his LiB wife and he talked about how they edited his rap to make it really bad by rearranging the verses and putting a really bad beat on top of it 😭He played the unedited footage and sure it was a bit uncomfortable but not nearly as bad as they made it seem.

can i just give a big thank you to Jarvis for doing these videos on these shows so i can still stay relevant in conversations but not have to spend the time or make Netflix's algorithm think i want to watch more of these lol

A strange part of me wants to see Zack sing Love Me Dead now that I know he loves Ludo

Love Is Blind is like, the single greatest distillation of trashiness to ever grace the small screen. Just pure, unadulterated trash injected directly into your veins, and somehow that makes me love it

I actually loved Micah tossing the "I do" question to Paul, actual reasoning aside. It was so on brand for their entire relationship

It's crazy to me that reality shows haven't changed their behind-the-scenes environment. We've learned how terrible the conditions were back in the day and how much the producers influenced almost everything to get content for their shows, but it's like they still don't care? It's wild, and extremely sad.

Yo! I know the wedding officiant in the scene of Micah and Paul's almost wedding! Her name is Cherise and she owns a business called Another One Ties The Knot. She was contacted by the creators and asked to be in the show. She agreed, but didn't really trust it. In that entire scene, she had no idea what was going to happen because I guess it was supposed to be a surprise to EVERYONE?! The entire show is crazy, but I especially love how chaotic Cherise's "behind the scenes" stories are.

I appreciate you making this video because this was the first season I didn't watch, and I wanted a succinct summary of what happened. This is the best summary I've seen for anyone who didn't watch it and doesn't want to consume hours of live reactions to it either. I don't think you need to edit in more clips or anything, just having you lay out what happened is what I was here for!

I have heard some stuff about this lawsuit and I CANNOT believe the producers thought it would be a good idea to subject people to no sleep, no food, no water, tons of booze, isolation, and then expect them to be entertaining/“fall in love”???

39 seconds and 80 likes. This fan base is truly gold

This was a great video! I know you were concerned about the rambling style, but it worked really well! It felt friendly, and also I didn't feel pressured to have to completely watch every bit of it for information. You also indicated when you were going to show things, so I had a great time. I have ADHD so this was a good thing for me! This sort of video on the channel would be great to have more of!

Kwame constantly sounded like Chelsea was holding him captive-

Brett’s groomzilla moment was SO relatable 😅❤

Resting Indifferent Face needs to be added to the English Lexicon

To be honest, Marshall joking around about Jackie having a strong jawline compared to all the shit she put him through and subjected him to seems miniscule... especially if they were both joking around with each other. And how she CONSTANTLY emasculating him and telling him he wasn't man enough. I'm not saying Marshall is completely in the right, but everyone snaps and becomes nasty when pushed enough. Jackie keeping the ring and then running off with Josh was so tacky and was the tip of the iceberg. I'm not sure how you could even defend her at this point. A ring is symbolism for the promise to get married and that you're engaged. You shouldn't be permitted to keep it if you break that contract. Her keeping it was trashy no matter how you look at it.

24:22 Dude I'm literally gay and the only phrase out of those that I knew was fruity 💀 Those are for sure some obscure ones

I felt so dumb getting hyped all week for that live only to sit there for over an hour waiting and then I gave up cause I had to make dinner and I had to catch the reunion the next day

I didn’t know people still cared about Ludo. At least the guy has good taste. I recommend everyone to listen to Broken Bride, it’s a beautiful album that tells a story.

i havent seen a single episode of this show but i’m consuming a lot of content about it 😭

The jawline comment is obviously something he only said because of all those "sweet" comments. To me it seems like he was trying to point out that everyone has something about them that's more masculine or feminine and so why be so obsessed with his masculinity? Your jawline could be considered masculine! But also idk, I'm cis and I've never been misgendered. I would like to hear a trans person's take on it.

“And I sat in my little corner”

"Maybe don't predict a show after the first episode" are you trying to diss my man Scott Cramer?

Jarvis if you're wondering if things like this will do well, the answer is probably yes. And it's not necessarily because of the topic, it's because you display a genuine interest and concern over what you're discussing and THATS what we like to hear!

i love the lack of visuals in this video it really feels like i'm listening to a friend rambling abt their newest hyperfixation

Don't understand Irina's fixation with Zack's "weird" appearance, he's an objectively good looking man

Jarvis, you are the reason I even picked up the show and I don't regret a single moment spent on it

Truthfully as a witchy girl who is always brewing potions, I feelt seen.

OH my GRAVY! I fast-forwarded through a lot of those pre-wedding conversations with friends and family because they were just unnecessary to include in my mind.

I don't watch dating shows but I love hearing you summarize them because it's for some reason fun to hear about, and like everyone talks about them anyways so it's cool to hear what I need to hear without having to watch it. You always broach them in a very approachable and understandable way too! Plus it's just more Jarvis Johntent which is always good

zack released the unedited clip of the song and he says something like “i wrote this song…kinda… it’s a song by one of my favorite bands and i’ve changed the words to be about you”

Just watching and listening to you ramble about a topic was a nice and chill change of pace! Too bad the subject matter took a more unfortunate turn near the end but I hope you got some rest after this video and don't worry about uploading vids that have more chill vibes! It was entertaining and nice to listen to

My favourite part of every GOLD channel video is hearing that ''GOOOOOOLD!" in the background
