At last, fans of “Love Is Blind” know who said “I do!” on the Season 4 finale of the hit dating reality show. (Yet many of us are still waiting for the reunion special to stream on Netflix to find out who is still together.)
In this chat, Taryn Finley, Ruth Etiesit Samuel and Erin E. Evans talk about the couples’ nuptials. Later this afternoon, we’ll add our thoughts about the reunion, when it airs at 3 p.m. EST — allegedly.
Chelsea And Kwame Said ‘I Do’ — But You Can’t Fake The Funk
We knew Chelsea, with all of her thirst and lack of self-awareness, was going to say I do. But Kwame saying it threw me for a loop. Not only because of his wishy-washy energy towards his pressed fiancée, but because of his mom’s disapproval. He sat that woman down and told her he could not give her his last name until he gets his mom’s approval. Who’s going to be the one to tell him don’t hold his breath?
While Chelsea is head over heels in something with this man, Kwame has cold feet and fears they’ll implode. And it’s valid. You can say I do all you want, but you can’t fake the funk. While Chelsea’s vows were a hopeful dedication to the future she wants with him, Kwame’s vows (which he didn’t write) signaled those fears in a way. While his words were beautiful on the surface, what Kwame’s vows lacked was the deep commitment marriage requires. Even in their post-ceremony interview, Kwame’s uncomfortable body language shows that he’s still not sure.
Kwame isn’t ready for marriage, yet he said yes. I doubt the couple will last. And if they do, they’ll need some long therapy sessions. Because right now, Kwame’s doubt and Chelsea’s controlling nature look like they’re headed towards (cue Taye Diggs in “Brown Sugar”) their divooooorce! — Taryn
If I speak … — Ruth
I don’t really have anything to say about this couple other than I’ll be surprised if they’re still married by the reunion. — Erin
