At last, audiences made it to the altar with some of the couples in the Season 6 finale of Love Is Blind Wednesday.
Through the 90-minute episode, we cried, we yelled and our mouths dropped during several moments as the couples decided whether they would actually say I do.
Amy and Johnny accomplish what we all knew would happen from the very beginning. We finally see how Jimmy and Chelseas rollercoaster of a relationship plays out. Clays father appears at his sons wedding to AD and Clays mother gives us the scene of the season.
HuffPost reporters and editors chatted about the finale in this blog post. Stay tuned for more updates.
This Would Be So Ironic At The 'Love Is Blind' Reunion
Amy Shared A Sweet Moment With Her Dad And Brother On 'Love Is Blind'
I honestly thought Amys dads speech before they got married was super sweet. I wish more people had fathers that were that vulnerable and openly loving. Wed benefit as a society, because look how healthy this wedding was! Amys moment with her brother was sweet, but I dont think it was anything exceptional. It was just a brother supporting his sister, lets not make it a bigger thing than it was just because he has a disability. Elyse
I more meant the I always got your back part since Amy spoke a lot about her brother in the pods and about wanting to always protect him and her future responsibility of being a caretaker if anything were to happen to her dad. Cambria
We Have 1 Major Prediction About Clay And AD At The 'Love Is Blind' Reunion
I pray that miss mamas stands on business. Because the way that man embarrassed her is unforgiving. Taryn
I really hope she didnt date him after this, but I just have a feeling that she did and it didnt end up working out. She seems so forgiving, so thats my prediction. Cambria
I agree, Cambria! I can see that totally going down. I feel like AD is deeply insecure about something, and shes looking for a certain type of guy to validate her in a way to make that insecurity go away. But its never going to go away unless she figures out exactly what it is. I think because of this insecurity, shes choosing the wrong types of men who just intensify that insecurity. I also worry that she subscribes a little too much to patriarchal ideals i.e., working so hard to be admired by the male gaze, wanting a man to lead her in a relationship and thats always going to be a losing battle for a woman. I think if AD didnt give men so much power over whether or not shes worthy, shed be much more at peace, which may open the door for a man who treats her the way she should be treated. Elyse
So well said, Elyse! Cambria
Clay Was Absolutely Wild For This On 'Love Is Blind'
Catch it, Cambria! At this point in the process, I feel like he was just grasping for various reasons to evade the marriage. Honestly. Ruth
I dont understand Clays finances! Honestly, I dont understand 90% of what Clay says, and I think it requires way too much mental energy to even begin to untangle his endless rambling of unfiltered thoughts. But I do think he was just reaching for a solid excuse not to go through with this, because the finances thing came out of left field. Elyse
Footage Of 1 'Love Is Blind' Couple Is All Over TikTok
Clay is the type of man who knows what to say when the camera is on but doesnt have the follow-through to stand on his words. He was never going to commit. That was clear when he said that its not responsible of him to say yes and that he needed more time. Sir. If you dont get the entire fuck out of here. He really mustve thought he was signing up for a different show.
On top of that, Clay knew AD was against continuing their relationship if he said no and still rejected her, thinking he could finesse into her good graces after hurting her. Clay is a big-ass joke. He fumbled big time. Taryn
Clays bubbly and weirdly positive demeanor leading up to the vows was so odd to me. He was really leading her and all of us on. But then he said his robotic, completely impersonal vows where he was spewing phrases like mental fortitude and thanks for your patience in dealing with me, and it was clear where this was headed. ADs vows, on the other hand, were heartfelt and about what she loved about Clay and their relationship.
Taryn is exactly right in that he knows what buzzwords to say when the camera is on, but doesnt have the follow-through to stand on any of it. He doesnt have any emotional depth either. Cambria
Anytime a man starts using language like through the ups and downs, girl, pack it up. A whole soliloquy just to play in our faces, abeg. Ruth
I think Clay shouldve done AD a kindness and broken things off with her like Jimmy did with Chelsea. Honestly, I think AD will be fine, because I think shes too good for Clay. Also, Im kind of happy I dont have to listen to Clays endless ramblings anymore, and neither does AD. I also hope she sticks by her guns and doesnt continue to date Clay after the show. We all knew this couple wasnt right for each other. Elyse
People on TikTok have been sharing footage of them together and so I'm really wondering if she followed through on not dating him after the experiment. Erin
This Was A Precious Moment On 'Love Is Blind'
That was so precious, but I adored the little jig AD did in the dressing room with her sister. One thing about me and my girls, we will break into song and dance at any given moment! Ruth
Clay Used His New Favorite Word A Zillion Times During The 'Love Is Blind' Finale
Clay being a collegiate track and field star then running away from commitment at the altar ... the jokes write themselves. Ruth
Eagle-Eyed TikTokers Spotted Something Interesting Clay's Dad Was Wearing On 'Love Is Blind'
Im not going to lie ... I wonder how his parents feel, specifically his father, now watching the season and seeing Clay air out all their family business. Ruth
His dad really looks SO bad, and Im also curious how they feel now that most of America has watched. I kind of assume he got his parents' approval to air it all out and his dad deserves any negativity he gets. Also, Ive been seeing eagle-eyed TikTokers spotting a frat pin his dad was wearing at the wedding. Not shocking hes a frat boy. Cambria
I couldnt help but notice how much Clay visibly worships his dad. I feel like when his dad talks, Clay soaks everything in like a sponge. I think his dads mere presence at the wedding very much affected his decision. Elyse
The 'Love Is Blind' Bachelor Party Was Weird For A Few Reasons
Meanwhile, Amy and AD were having the time of their life. They ended up having a sexy dance party with plenty of friends and plenty of drinks. Cambria, it reminded me of 90 Day Fianc when Anali had a big and fun bachelorette party while Clayton was doing something super boring with his one friend. Erin
HAHAHA, yes that is exactly what it was like! But the 90 Day Fianc scenes were so much more fun to watch. Cambria
The bachelor party also reminded me of that "SNL" sketch where women take their boyfriends to a dog park to meet other male friends , and how much difficulty men have nowadays making close male friends. I dont want to waste too much of my energy trying to understand the inner workings of cis straight mens minds, but a part of me feels like they think their time is better spent advancing their careers and getting laid/starting families, so male friendships seem frivolous. But I wish men understood that developing strong platonic relationships is just as important as developing romantic ones. Maybe if more men were open to exploring other kinds of relationships that arent purely sexual or career-related, wed have a better crop of single men out there with higher emotional IQs because if this show has taught us anything, there are not that many of them out there. Elyse
AD Said The 1 Thing We Were All Thinking About Amy And Johnny
I was hollering hooting, hollering, screaming when AD said that! Ill give it to you, Cambria: You were probably right! I love a media-trained couple, though. Im low-key glad they were cognizant of how they were being portrayed on-screen, knowing scenes can be edited, distorted, etc. Ruth
AD had me so weak because I was thinking the same thing. Like yall have been all up in each others faces since the honeymoon. Spare me the BS lol. Taryn
I dont know, I think this couple has done everything BUT go all the way. Which is fine. I mean, if you look at the way Johnny looks at Amy, they are definitely getting physical in some capacity. Elyse
This 'Love Is Blind' Scene Was A Total Mindf**k
These two are the definition of faking the funk and this scene is what happens when you lie to yourself for too long. We all knew they didnt need to get married to each other early, but the way theyve carried on in front of the group all season like everything was peaches and cream and then turning around and being just utterly nasty to each other was truly something else. Jimmy calling off the engagement right before their wedding at an amusement park, nonetheless was appropriate. These two have been nothing but clownish in this relationship, and Im tired of seeing it. Taryn
I really wasnt ready for it to all end like it did in this scene. It felt so abrupt and I was screaming when he said no right after Chelsea had gone on and on about how much she loved him and wanted to say yes at the altar. I do commend Jimmy for doing it at the amusement park rather than dragging it out to the altar and embarrassing her like Clay did to AD. Cambria
Honestly, I think Jimmy breaking it off at that moment rather than going through with a sham wedding was kinder to Chelsea then dumping her on the altar and publicly embarrassing her in front of all her family and friends. I kind of had a bit more respect for Jimmy for doing this, and I think he made the right call. I dont think he wasted Chelseas time. I think she showed her true colors when they broke up, and it was hard to watch. Chelsea needs to do a lot of self-work, and needs to realize she has a very unhealthy attachment style before she even thinks about getting married again. Elyse
All I can say is Im glad their relationship is over. I was throwing tomatoes the whole time. Ruth.
This 'Love Is Blind' Scene Was The Most Real Thing We've Ever Seen On Reality TV
Clays daddy is nasty work. Im glad his mom initiated the conversation, but I cant help but to feel like her words went in one ear and out the other. Especially because the dad tried to get flirty with her towards the end. Apple doesnt fall far, clearly. Taryn
Its kind of unbelievable that this incredibly levelheaded and wonderful woman raised Clay only for his dad to do a number on him and erase all of her hard work. Clay clearly idolizes his father for some ungodly reason. I did really appreciate this conversation, and it so clearly displayed generational trauma and how important it is to heal childhood wounds so that you dont pass them on to your children. Clay did AD a favor by saying no, and not putting her through what his mother went through. That is a step in the right direction, and I hope Clay has done a lot of work over the past year and really did go to therapy. The man has A LOT to answer for at the reunion. Cambria
Clay Asked AD 2 Incredibly Irritating Questions On 'Love Is Blind'
BOOOO! Im throwing tomatoes! He asked, Can I get a hug? No! You just jilted ME at the altar; you are not the victim here! Ruth
I literally shouted Go to hell, Clay! Taryn
I think Clay had a good instinct when he wondered if he should talk to AD after he rejected her, but I worried when Clay asked his dad if he should talk to her, and his dad was like, Dont act indifferent if you go talk to her. It seemed like his dad was suggesting Clay put on some kind of an act that wasnt true to his real feelings for the sake of looking better on camera. I think that suggestion 100% affected the way Clay spoke to AD, and it didnt really feel that sincere. When he asked her for a hug, I wanted to scream! Dont make that poor girl hug you after you did that to her, thats so confusing and adds salt to the wound! Elyse
AD Said 3 Heartbreaking Words On The 'Love Is Blind' Finale
She later says, I keep getting so fucking close. I do so much for these men and carry these fucking relationships and its just not fucking enough. I wish so much more for her and I hope shes simply picking better men and not carrying ANY relationship on her back. She shouldnt have to. Cambria
I just wanted to give her such a big hug at that moment. She really wanted it to work so badly. But baby girl, this is not Build-A-Boy workshop. Its not a reflection of her deficiencies; hes just not her person. I cannot imagine how emotionally exhausting this process must have been for her. Side note: I dont know who needs to hear this, but your partner is not your therapist or your life coach. It is not their responsibility to fix you. Ruth
My heart really sank for AD. Im so glad that she had her friends and family there with her to walk out of the ceremony with her and support her.
ADs story is too familiar for so many of us, especially Black women who have gotten the short end of the stick because of desirability politics and racist stereotypes. I want a real love for AD, one that she deserves and will pour into her as much as she pours into her partners. I also want her to have better discernment about the men she picks. Not every fine man is worth the energy. Taryn
I like AD a lot, and shes more than enough for Clay. Clay is immature, and thats the end of it. It hurt my heart that AD doesnt think shes good enough, because how much better could she be? Shes beautiful, smart and super cool. Some wacky dude with daddy issues should not affect how she sees herself. Elyse
Y'all said it all. I hope AD sees this. We are rooting for you! Erin
