Love Our Talks

Is Love Blind??

February 26, 2024 KLove Season 2 Episode 1

Can the heart see what the eyes cannot? This episode peels back the curtain on Season 6 of "Love Is Blind," where Chelsea's self-comparison to Megan Fox stirs more than just the pot of love. We examine the emotional roulette between Chelsea, Jimmy, Jessica, and Trevor, where every pull of the lever could spell bliss or heartbreak. Through the tangled web of their relationships, we dissect the delicate balance between physical attraction and emotional connection, challenging the notion that love can truly be blind.

Strap in as we confront the shadowy invaders of insecurity that often creep into the romances we hold dear. Chelsea's struggle for affirmation shines a light on the pivotal role self-esteem plays in the vitality of love. I share my opinions on the skirmishes and skirmish lines drawn by our own inner doubts, and how they can either fortify or fracture the bonds we share. The journey toward self-love is arduous, but as we navigate these tumultuous waters together, we just might find that true love flourishes in the soil of self-discovery and personal growth.

Thank you joining  Love Our Talks and listening to these juicy topics!

Speaker 1:

Hey, hey, hey, loves. Welcome to another episode of Love, our Talks, the podcast where we dive into all things juicy Love, dating, relationships, entertainment and wellness. I am your host, k-love, and we're going to talk about entertainment today, so let's go ahead and jump on in, right, let's dive on in. So I have begun watching the new season of Love Is Blind. This is season six. Love Is Blind.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I am one of those type of people where I am a hopeful, romantic, right. I love love, all things love. I want to see people happy and just loving on one another, right? So that's me. I love watching couples on TV and on shows and in real life, but, and I love helping other people meet their person. So this was pretty interesting. I've always watched this show. I've watched it since season one, so now we're on season six.

Speaker 1:

So the premise is there are five couples that go on to get married at the altar at the end of this whole thing right, that's how the show is. You are behind, you're in these pods and you don't get to see one another until you propose to someone and they accept your proposal, and then you get to see them and you go on from there. So you know what. Let's go ahead. I want to talk about one couple. I want to start with this one couple in particular, and that couple is Chelsea and Jimmy. I want to go ahead and start with this couple because the story is playing out and I want to share with you guys and see what your opinion is and, if you're watching it, I want to hear from you and I want to know what your thoughts are. So let's go back to when they were in the pods. Okay, now, when you're in these parts, you start dating from day one, to start dating each other, meeting people and there's a lot of people there. I think about 20 people, could be more than that. There could be 20 girls and 20 guys. Okay, so you're just getting to know one another, to see who fits, who you gel with and who you connect with. Right, so, getting to know one another.

Speaker 1:

Chelsea meets Jimmy and they begin talking. You know more, to see if they like each other. Also, they have other dates as well where they're meeting other people, like I said. So there is Chelsea and Jimmy. Chelsea also is talking to someone named Trevor and Jimmy is also talking to someone named a lady, named Jessica. So they go on these dates.

Speaker 1:

So let's stick with these four people. Okay, jimmy is seeing Chelsea and Jessica, chelsea is seeing Jimmy and Trevor. Okay, so we've determined the four people. So they go on dates, they start developing feelings and get to know one another and, like I said, once, you feel that strong feeling for that person, you begin to say things that you know, that you really feel, you begin to open up some. And so when it comes to Jimmy talking and dating Chelsea and Jessica, I think Jimmy says that his feelings for Chelsea was stronger than it was for Jessica. So the thing is, let's back up a little bit. So when Jimmy met Chelsea, they had conversations, you know, getting from one another.

Speaker 1:

Chelsea mentioned that her friends and people around her said she has a celebrity lookalike and this celebrity lookalike is someone I wouldn't have picked out, but she says they say she resembles Megan Fox. And if anyone knows and seen Megan Fox I've watched Transformers, I've seen her. So Megan Fox is a gorgeous, petite type of girl, right, gorgeous, dark hair, pretty eyes, and so she's basing it off of dark hair and pretty eyes. That's what she said. That's what Chelsea is saying. So she tells Jimmy this in the pot. Now you're not supposed to know what each other look like and by giving him that type of description, is saying you're getting this drop dead gorgeous girl Again. You're not supposed to know what someone's features look like and you're not basing it off of features, because it's called, love is blind. So you don't see the person or reason. You fall in love with the heart versus their face, right the exterior. So she tells him this and he's in awe like wow, you really OK. They say you look like Megan Fox. When, then you are drop dead gorgeous. So I honestly believe that Jimmy literally took interest in Chelsea because of that.

Speaker 1:

Now there are other things about Chelsea that I'm sure he really likes that she's funny, she's caring, she has a good sense of humor and things like that. But you're getting to know this person Now. On the flip side of this, jessica, in my opinion, I would say she's closer to Megan Fox. To me, she resembles Megan Fox the dark hair, petite body, just the body, the face, things like that. She's a gorgeous, gorgeous girl. So to me, when Chelsea says this, I'm not saying that she's not pretty or anything like that, but it's not giving equal. It's to Megan Fox, any woman going to have dark hair, pretty eyes, whatever, but I don't think you should lump yourself on with Megan Fox. I just don't think so. That's my opinion.

Speaker 1:

Say what you want, but anyway, at the end of the day, jimmy made his decision. He fell in love with Chelsea. So he breaks it off with Jessica and tells her, or tries to tell her, which he doesn't really get it out. He was beating around the bush and Jessica had to pull it out of him because he was so close to her. Jessica had to pull it out of him because she is this strong person, she has a stronger personality. She pretty much told him off and she said you're going to regret your decision pretty much, because she knows what Chelsea looks like and everything like that. But she told her that. She said you gotta regret your decision, meaning you're not gonna like what she looks like, and I'm like, ooh, that's pretty cool, right, so okay. So he fell some type of way about that and I think they whole conversation kind of went left and she said what she said and she was out and so at the end of the day, jimmy did choose Chelsea. She said yes, they met outside the pods for the first time. When the doors opened, they saw what each other looked like.

Speaker 1:

Chelsea runs to Jimmy and it wasn't a good looking run. She's trodden over there towards him, anyway. So it was pretty interesting. He took it. He said, oh wow, you're gorgeous, you're pretty, blah, blah, blah. He gave her all the compliments, right, and she's not ugly at all, she's a nice looking girl, but not Megan Fox, she's just not. So he gave her all the compliments and they talked and things like that, and they were both excited to see what is gonna be like outside in the outside world. So let's move on to the outside world, okay.

Speaker 1:

So they typically go on to this like I wanna call it like a pre-honeymoon type of situation where they are not connected with the outside world like their friends and phones and things like that, like with any electronics or technology or anything, so they can focus on getting to know one another one on one, right, and so when they get there, you know they enjoy their time together, whatever that is that they're gonna do. But there is a day that they do get to meet the other castmates that made it, because it's only five couples that make it right. So they get to meet the other couples this particular night, okay, when they went to meet the other couples, I believe it was like a beach party or whatever. They're mixing and mingling and Jimmy and Chelsea run into another couple, which I really like. These people I mean they're awesome. I mean black excellence, right, they run into AD and Clay.

Speaker 1:

When I'm talking about a beautiful couple, chocolate drop couples both of them dark chocolate, beautiful couple, ad I wanna say something about AD. She's absolutely beautiful. The girl works out religiously and her body is like a tent, right. So as Jimmy is talking to Chelsea, he mentions something, he says a comment to Chelsea and says wow, look at AD man, that girl is stacked Chelsea. Then it's like perfect, what Like did he just say that to me? And confidence between those two. It should have been kept between those two, but it didn't. Because now Chelsea wants to be like AD. Jimmy says you're stacked, blah, blah, blah, blah. So to me right then and there I felt that Chelsea was wrong for doing that I think he made that comment in silence, in confidence towards you is fiance is supposed to be a future wife, and I don't think everything needs to be regurgitated or spit out into the public.

Speaker 1:

So when Chelsea does that, okay, ad, chelsea's like he says you're stacked. So where'd you get a booty like that? How do I get a booty like that? And so AD is like squats in Jesus, girls, squats in Jesus. It was freaking hilarious.

Speaker 1:

And so Jimmy's like oh my God. He says I am so embarrassed. He goes over to AD and he's like man, that is super embarrassing. I really didn't mean for that to come out and for her to say that to you, because I said it to her, not that she was gonna say it to you. Okay, so that trust is already broken, right, there. Can't trust Chelsea to keep her mouth closed. Boom, right, so ugh.

Speaker 1:

So you can just imagine where it goes from there. He's now Chelsea is in her whole feelings. She walks away. So Jimmy's over there talking to AD and just trying to smooth things over. So it's not awkward, right, but it was awkward. And so, yeah, I mean he said he didn't mean any harm by that, it was just a compliment. So please don't take it the wrong way. You know, eddie was like no, it's cool, it's cool, it's so, it's, it's all good. She took it like a champ. She didn't. She's like I get that all the time. I work out a lot religiously and, of course, it comes with the territory.

Speaker 1:

Now I'm gonna tell you something I Believe the reason why Chelsea was in her feelings it's because Chelsea does not have the body like that, she doesn't have a booty like that. It's just not there and she's feeling some type of way. So she brings this up, you know, and she's, you know, wants to talk to him about it later on, when they get back. So now she's crying in a room and says how he heard her feelings by saying what he said to AD and so for. From so on, yeah, he apologizes and it go on from there. Right, done. So now the couples are going home the next day or whatever, and they get to go and live in the same apartment together, right. And so, that being said, something else occurs.

Speaker 1:

So there's another cast me that comes and shows Jimmy Jessica picture, and I remember told you, jimmy was dating Jessica and she went off on him and told him you're gonna regret your decision. So for, from so on, all this stuff, right, because Jessica knows what Chelsea looks like and what she looks like, so fast forward. Jimmy sees his picture and he's like, oh, wait a minute. Now I think she may look like Megan Fox, but who I am proposed to doesn't. So I think that sparked his interest, right? So this is where it's gonna get juicy, right, it's gonna get pretty juicy.

Speaker 1:

So Jimmy sends a friend request to Jessica. Now Jessica's page is already on private, so you know he can't see any of her feet. So I guess she was like I'm not gonna respond to this. She gave it like eight hours or so. She came back to it like the next day and when she looked it was gone. He took it away like he sent it, and then he unscented.

Speaker 1:

So now Word gets back to Chelsea that he saw Jessica picture. Okay. So now Jessica's like okay, so what's going on? What do you think of seeing Jessica? What you think of seeing Jessica? So guess what? We're now back to square one with Chelsea and her feelings again, you know, crying about it. They have a whole fight, huge fight, huge argument. Jimmy leaves, go sleep somewhere else, the whole nine yards.

Speaker 1:

He does come back the next day to talk about it and it to me it all boiled down to what I got from that conversation and what I got from Chelsea is that she is forcing her insecurities on him. Um, the way she picked that fight to me was crazy. She's saying well, you didn't kiss me today. You just came down, you were working and you came down to meet my friends and so forth and so on. He's like no, I did kiss you earlier when you were getting ready to go downstairs. He's like you don't remember. She's like but you didn't, you didn't do it, you didn't tell me you love me today. He's like what? So this whole thing is all of her bringing back all these insecurities up.

Speaker 1:

When it came to AD, she felt insecure. When it came to Jessica, she felt insecure. And she's bringing it back up. Bringing it back up. So he tells her you know what? I don't know what's going on with you, but you're giving clingy vibes. Oh my god, why he say that word. I don't know if you should say a word clingy to a female, to a woman.

Speaker 1:

But she went off the rails, right, she snapped and she was like Don't ever expect me to initiate intimacy ever again, and so forth and so on, because I'm not gonna do it, and they had a whole blow up. It was crazy. Like I said, he left, but they came back the next day. They did talk about it and she's crying and saying that all hurt my feelings and it's like she wanted some type of sympathy from him. But you can tell he's he's he's like okay, let me give you what you want, but at the same time, it ain't fair. It's not fair. Okay, see, those things, those are the things that you have to deal with within yourself.

Speaker 1:

And I'm pretty sure she came on this show and you come on this show it's like you weren't getting any dates, you weren't getting chosen, probably because could be of your looks. Okay, you could pop, you could be the most amazing person. But a lot of people Do base dating in relationships off of first initial looks. I'm just being honest, right. So when you come on this show, the reason why for the show is so you don't have looks in the equation. That's why it is called love is blind, because you don't see, right, so you know it's like In the outside world you probably wasn't getting chosen, so she's already someone that is totally insecure and those things that she should have dealt, those are the things that she, she should have dealt with before she came on the show.

Speaker 1:

And I say this Say that Whatever you're going, whatever you're doing and whatever you're going through needs to work Through those things before you start dating, before you start bringing someone else into your life. You should not put that type of pressure on anyone, especially someone you've just met and you're trying to get to know. I mean, you will sabotage that relationship before it even begins. They will look at you Like what is wrong with you? You're crazy. You're crazy, you're doing too much, you being clingy.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and the reason why this is Is because she kept asking for validation. She kept asking Every minute of the day that she wanted to be kissed from it. She wanted him to say I love you and all these validating factors. It's because you're trying to feel good about yourself instead of you making your own self feel good and confident about who you are as a person first. And I say this because no one else can give you the confidence, the validation, the security that you need first and foremost, other than yourself. And if you think you're going to hide it, okay, you think you're going to get by and it will just eventually. No, it will rear its ugly head.

Speaker 1:

So let's see how all this plays out with Chelsea and Jimmy, jessica and Trevor. You know, put those four together with Chelsea, then say, okay, well, maybe I should have chose Trevor. Well, jimmy say I should have chose Jessica. Let's see how this plays out. I'm like invested, right, I want to see who's going to make it to the altar. My opinion do I think that Jimmy and Chelsea will make it. I don't, that's my personal opinion. I mean, I could be fooled, I could be shocked, but I just don't.

Speaker 1:

And the reason being is because I think being with someone that is insecure about who they are, how they feel on the outside, instead of focusing on fixing something about yourself to make you feel more secure, it's not going to work. It's just not going to work. No, smothering You're looking for all these words of you know, love, validation and all these things no, it's just not going to work. You're going to push that person further and further away from you, and it's too much pressure for you to put that on someone else. So I just sum it up Work within yourself, build your own self-confidence, your own validation, before you step out and bring someone else into your life. Please do that, all right, so anyway.
