I’m not surprised that Lydia may have done a lot of stalkerish things because of her highly delusional behavior. You walked into the pods and hear your ex & immediately want to get back with him & not go through the experience!? She blamed not being liked for her personality but her first rejection by Izzy was because she was way too forward & didn’t seem to even notice that he was taken aback to the point of not reciprocating what she had said. Then she went & immediately rebounded & love bombed someone that she could manipulate & control, which was then the theme of their whole interaction where she bosses him around & controls him. Lydia is a terrible person & refuses to acknowledge that by putting it towards people not accepting her for her personality or ‘who she is’. Even her family stated they would not deal with her pregnant & I feel she is overwhelming due to a lack of boundaries, shown by what she did with Aaliyah & then later on, allegations by Uche. Aaliyah has absolutely no back bone & Uche used that to go for the jugular. Uche & Johnnie are vile!😂 I really hope Taylor can heal from that experience because that man is a whole creep. Something wasn’t right there & it was giving serial killer. She needed a reassuring partner who would act in a way to give affirmative validation. It’s so sad that In a way, Captain America made her feel more insecure & yet she is so beautiful & in fact, out of his league. I don’t care about Izzy & white money.
I was so disgusted by Joni because she tried to manipulate Chris and said: "Are we ready for a proposal?" And Lydia is not that sweet and naive she purposely told Alya about his dog who loves her and his friends who know her to mark her territory and show Alya how serious it was with Ucha
I searched for love is blind reaction videos and all I could find were huge channels that are over produced. I love this sit down recap. I cant wait to watch your next recap video. Have a great weekend.
I totally agree!!! I love this recap too. Btw if you are interested in another love is blind reaction that is not over produced you can also watch Queen E.
Absolutely continue to do this series!! I’ve been trying to find someone interesting to recap this season bc I CANNOT watch ts alone it’s too much 😭 You retell the events and relationships perfectly while adding in the right amount of commentary! I really hope your lifestyle and vlog content works out, and I implore you to continue doing commentary !! This was a serve and i will be coming back to watch ❤️
Regarding chronic pain conditions that shorten lifespan, I feel you. My partner has Marfan syndrome which until recently had a life expectancy of 50. Thank god for modern medicine!
You haven’t gotten to it yet, it I am dying for someone to talk about how Izzy keeps trying to start drama with girls he rejected! 😤 something about that is wild to me.
I hate the way woc are on these dating shows. I’m starting to see similarities between the “strong black woman”/ “angry black woman” and the “spicy Latina” stereotypes play out on these shows…
*PLEASE* keep doing this series !! i enjoy watching reaction videos to reality TV shows and movies. you did a good job recapping the episodes , can’t wait to see what else you cover ! new subby here 🥰
He he that’s what I love about beauty, it’s in the eye of the beholder. I am attracted to men with thick hair and no facial hair (a little scruff is nice though)! There is someone out there for everyone 🤭
Girl no! Lydia is an awful person and Uche is diabolical!!! Aaliyah needed to run for the hills! 🏃🏾♀️💨 Uche is an emotional manipulator and very mentally abusive. PS- they are in the pods for about 3-4 weeks, not 5 days 😭🤣
42:46 - I get where he's coming from in the sense that he does not know what's going on in the women's quarters... and was probably in his head about it with: "What are they talking about...?
I’m sorry, but if someone cheated 2 years ago, I’d also consider that a recent cheater and I don’t think I would choose to progress with that person. And I say that as someone that cheated before. It took me several years to work through the mental BS that drove me to cheat. And I just don’t think 2 years is enough time. But also everyone is different so there’s that. But naw lmao.
girl amazon! i got a mic stand (attaches to your desk), a blue snowball mic (no stand) and a ring light. i film with my iphone, record audio with ocenaudio (audacity is good too), and edit with davinci resolve. hmu with any other questions ☺️
I think your channel would grow quicker if you enabled dislikes cause while I don't even think you'd get any dislikes, a like and a dislike is a good thing for the algorithm (I've heard) :)
I don’t mind the idea of the show in general, but I hate when someone goes back to the men’s or women’s quarters and starts talking about the person(s) they’re talking to on the other side of the wall to the others. Talking sh*t about your ex - ESPECIALLY in these scenarios - is alwayssss a red flag for me. Actually in general, when someone talks poorly about anybody else, specifically about someone I don’t know and don’t have the benefit of hearing their side directly from them, I have immediate walls up toward the person saying bad things about the other person. True or not (truth is subjective anyway) trashing someone else who isn’t there to defend his position is uncouth and comes across as trying to look like the “innocent” person, and it’s especially problematic in this scenario where everyone else is dating the same people. The person talking ish is trying to poison the well against whoever upset him to gain empathy, and that works on some people, but it makes me wary about the person sh*t talking. Getting your feelings hurt by someone and explaining your side of the story to vent is okay, but throwing all the blame on the person who hurt you is just as toxic as whatever the other person did. I liked Johnie in the beginning and actually disliked Stacy off-rip, but over the episodes, I’ve been impressed by Stacy’s emotional maturity, specifically with the latest episode where she comes around and listens to Izzy and finally GENUINELY listens when he says he feels unappreciated and instead of looking down at him like he’s weak, she finally remembers why she fell for him in the first place - his vulnerability and effort to talk it out without letting his boundaries be crossed - and she tells him that. That is soo important, letting the person you love know that you hear them and you take accountability for how you’ve made them feel and will try to be better. It was a good example of healthy communication on both parts and I hope to see more of that in relationships in general, especially those displayed to millions of people who are still learning to love and date too. Johnie on the other hand plays the “poor me” card and I feel like she takes it to the next level by leveraging her appearance and using a soft-aesthetic to pad the idea that she’s just a hurt woman who’s been abused and misused and deserves better. Maybe I’m giving her too much credit, but I know in my own past, I’ve used my story, my situation, and my appearance to manipulate and I was quite conscious of it at the time. This was years ago (I’m 33 and divorced now and have learned about how I can be toxic and am working on it) and I’m not saying everyone does this, but I do think people are capable of that kind of manipulation. I think Lydia does the same thing. In the beginning, she seems like she wants to appear like a powerful, independent woman - like Uche’s perfect match, to be specific lol - but when she switches to Milton, she starts to act a lot softer and less loud and even her mannerisms become a lot more “soft and affectionate” to meet him at his maturity level, and it seems to me like she’s trying to keep her capacity for crazy behavior well-hidden. And I completely agree with Milton’s sister when she says “you sound scripted”at Milton’s family dinner. Watching it, the whole time I’m thinking… “girl, you’ve said this a few times before, it’s coming off way too quick and smooth to seem authentic.” I don’t think Milton is fully honest about who he is either but Lydia seems scary manipulating to me… ESPECIALLY with how she made Aaliyah her BFF out of nowhere as soon as she found out Aaliyah was dating Uche. She was sooo invested in Aaliyah’s situation, it was a LOT and if I was Aaliyah, even if I didn’t know about Lydia and Uche’s past yet, I’d be taken aback. Tbh it gave me a little bit of Fatal Attraction. Then when Uche confronts her at the meet up, which I think is fair given all the bad things she’s been going around saying about him, she gets crazy angry and loses complete control of the facade she’s put on and tries to drag Milton out of there, like she’s afraid that Milton will hear and SEE the receipts Uche has and leave her. Even if none of what Uche said about her was true, that reaction alone - the screaming, cutting him off, discrediting every single thing he said, deflecting and turning the situation around in him, and the super dramatic “you will NEVER se this face again!” was scary!! How Milton or anyone can see that aggressive behavior and not think “there’s potential for emotional/verbal abuse at BEST here, I better leave now” is beyond me. Trying to force Milton to leave and literally pulling him away… if any man did that to me, or any man did that to any woman at all, we all know it would automatically be called abuse and that man would be canceled forever. It was gross and I’ve met people like that in my life and in my experience, it does not get better, only worse. And with Milton’s family having doubts, I think that’s another valid reason to SLOW DOWN at least… in my marriage, I saw similar behavior in my ex mother in law and that was a pattern that lasted for 6 years - she treated her son, my husband, like he BELONGED to her and would just scream over me or him anytime we tried to discuss something with her that wasn’t going her way, and her manipulative behavior was a significant part of why I had to leave that situation, especially once we had a child. Obviously not the whole story but that kind of rage potential is dangerous and shouldn’t be taken lightly. My ex mother in law once told me “wives come and go, the mother is forever” - sounds like something Lydia would say in what I’ve seen of her. That’s my essay nobody asked for lol but I like this discussion because it’s not a reality show with no substance. It opens avenues for conversations about healthy relationships and behaviors to watch out for and I think there’s a lot of teachable moments in this show, for better or worse. First time seeing your channel and i appreciate your commentary and agree on most points, and even just listening to this without too many graphics or edits is still entertaining, and I know that’s not easy to do. New sub ❤🙌
