Whew! Roommates, ‘Love Is Blind’ had the innanet bussing with reactions this past weekend! Netflix released season six on Feb. 14, and folks have not stopped talking about the twists and turns yet!
From comparisons to Megan Fox to an EpiPen drag, here are some of the trending moments from the first half of the dating show. Six episodes are out, and another three are expected later this week.
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD!
Before we get to the tea, here are a couple more things you should know! First, Netflix cast from Charlotte, North Carolina for this season. Second, only five couples made it out of the pods. That includes Amy and Johnny, AD and Clay, Kenneth and Brittany, Laura and Jeramey, and Chelsea and Jimmy. Third, the couples vacationed in the Dominican Republic after the engagements.
Let’s start with someone who didn’t leave the pods engaged but left the innanet in tears with her clapbacks and heartwarming search for love. Meet Jessica Vestal, who is now 29, but appeared on the show at 28, employed as an executive assistant and raising a daughter named Autumn. She’s the first single parent in six seasons of the show.
Jessica and Jimmy Presnell had formed a connection, but he ultimately chose Chelsea. After he told Jessica about his decision, she dragged him for filth with her comeback.
“When you and realize what you missed out on, you are going to choke. You are going to choke. You are going to need your EpiPen to open up your airways because you are going to be in disbelief of what you missed out on.”
As mentioned, Jimmy chose to elevate his connection with Chelsea Blackwell to an engagement. Before they laid eyes on each other for the first time, Jimmy had envisioned she looked like Megan Fox.
Why would he think THAT?! While they were dating in the pods (and prior to him ending his bond with Jessica), Chelsea had asked what celebrity he’s compared to. She revealed hers was Megan Fox but clarified several times that it was only because of her dark brunette hair and light eyes.
See the moment Chelsea said that below.
That lil’ comment had Jimmy in a chokehold! After they met face-to-face, he admitted in a confessional that he felt lied to.
“She definitely to me on some…uh…how she looked,” he said with a laugh. “Chelsea told me she looks like Megan Fox. But you know, at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. I’m very attracted to her, I can work with that.”
While vacationing in the Dominican Republic, Jessica asked him what was the first thing he noticed about her. To “keep it PG,” Jimmy said her “big, square teeth” but later added that it was her large breast size.
