Everyone Needs Therapy After ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 6 Reunion

For a show as messy as Love Is Blind, season six was shockingly messy. We had love triangles, not one but two male contestants whose status as single men while filming was questioned—perhaps because Chelsea Appiah from season five, one of the strangest people to ever grace the LIB screen, works in casting now—and a record low of one happily married couple. So, everyone knew the reunion was going to be a clusterfuck of epic proportions.

Nick and Vanessa Lachey wasted no time revealing that Johnny McIntyre and Amy Cortés are indeed still married and very much in love, and then they were like, “Cool! Have a nice life. Moving on now to the rest of these suckers.” First and foremost of the suckers was Jeramey Lutinski, who continued to deny his ex-fiancée Laura Dadisman’s accusations that he met up and hooked up with his second choice from the pods, Sarah Ann Bick, before he and Dadisman ended their engagement. Many eye-rolls from Dadisman, who was zooming in from Spain where she was on a work trip, and then Bick entered in a Y2K prom costume, kissed Lutinski, and proceeded to clutch his hand while she screamed in her own defense. So, yeah, they’re still together, but everyone else on the cast was clearly not that convinced of their undying love. Chelsea Blackwell (alleged Megan Fox doppelganger) even accused them of breaking up more than once since filming.

Sarah Ann stood her ground. She told the Lacheys and Page Six that she does not at all regret sending that DM that eventually led to she and Jeramey meeting up after the pods.

“I can’t ever say that I regret sending the direct message. In fact, eventually I’m going to share the message with the world so that everyone can see what it actually said,” (she has yet to make good on that threat), “I had to fight for a love that I believe in…so I don’t regret sending the message. Realistically, I knew that they got engaged, but I didn’t know the status of the relationship or how things were going [post-pods]. I just knew how the experiment worked and that we were dating the same amount of time. Anything could have happened. So I don’t regret it.” It should be noted that Bick’s Instagram bio currently reads: “Live is short, send the DM.”

Meanwhile, Lutiniski is on his stories doing the most, “apologizing” to Dadisman some more and tripling (quadrupling?) down on his claims that he’s the best most honest guy on the planet but, fine, he could have “handled things differently.”

…but we’ve yet to see the “receipts.”

Speaking of receipts, Trevor Sova—the mulleted bodybuilder who disappointed me (and everyone) when his ex-girlfriend leaked texts between them from right before and right after he went into the pods in which he said he loved her and was going to marry her—looked extremely unwell as he sat on a couch surrounded by his enemies while The Devil and his mistress the Lacheys dramatically read the tweets aloud and then turned to him and basically said, “Explain yourself!”

Sova was quite literally rendered speechless. He was brought in halfway through the evening in the first place, probably because he was terrified of being there, and then he asked to leave after struggling to defend himself. He managed to stutter a few measly excuses, claiming he and the woman in question were not exclusive before he started filming, and that he applied for the show in the first place because he wanted to meet a woman unlike the kinds of women he would usually go for. Women like the one he was at that time professing his love to, whom he now describes as “toxic as hell.” But then he admitted that he is also extremely toxic and needs a lot of therapy and then I’m pretty sure he shit his pants after running off the stage.

Honestly? I felt bad. It felt like we were watching a total emotional breakdown in real time. Sova has been silent on social media since, and my guess is he’ll stay that way for a while. I mean, he certainly shouldn’t have done what he did, but the Lacheys also didn’t need to tar and feather him for national consumption the way they did.

Mrs. Lachey also feels kinda bad. “I think Trevor is figuring himself out, and I think he didn’t realize the scope of what this meant,” she told PEOPLE. “I’m hoping that he does now, and sees that could be hurtful to both women.”

“But yeah, he’s going through a lot, and I’m proud of him for coming and saying his piece,” she continued. He could have said his piece without your help, Vanessa! She added, “Human nature is fascinating, and I think that’s also a wonderful reason this works, so we shall see.”

The woman is a monster. She and her husband, as well as other past and current cast members, said a bunch of times during the reunion that the show is therapy. That is a wacky thing to say and a dangerous thing to think. Note to Chelsea Appiah and her casting colleagues: Please do not cast people on this show who want to use it as therapy! If talking to people without seeing them and then maybe marrying one of them is your idea of therapy, maybe instead go to actual therapy. Hopefully, you’ll see Trevor there.
