I couldn't help but feel like a lot of the interactions were forced and unnatural. Could possibly just be the individuals themselves are just awkward in reality, but that part was bothersome for me. Aside from that, I think I was most intrigued and rooted the most for the relationship between Kelly and Kenny. They felt the most authentic and sweet. I did not feel hopeful for Lauren and Cameron because of the race issue and how it came up a lot, like A LOT a lot. I get that interracial relationships can still be an issue in some parts of the country, but I feel that at the same time, she is not the first African American woman to date a white man. Let it go. Go to therapy if that is going to create an identity issue for you. Cameron never expressed having issues with the interracial piece unless she brought it up, and even still, it was never a negative or concerning response from him, which should have put her at ease. In any case, if they are going to last long, she needs to go to therapy because having bi-racial kids will only bring about even more identity issues (I mean raising kids in general can be a tough issue, so get on it now Lauren!) In terms of Jessica and Mark, it was obvious from the start when she changed her mind about Mark once she met Barnett. Mark should have let her go then and there. Why he held onto her even tighter after that, only speaks to how insecure he is, and for reasons I can only speculate about. It was painful to watch Jessica keep him dangling for so long, treating him like he was an afterthought, flirting in front of him with Barnett, and only retreating back to Mark when she got her feelings hurt by Barnett every single time she tried to tear him from Amber. Jessica needs therapy, and needs to figure out her drinking problems before becoming a wife and a mother, for her own sake. Mark, buddy, you can do better. You're 24 years old. You'll find someone better. As for Barnett and Amber, she was annoying to watch. Between the two of them, neither one was stable in one way or another, but they seem perfect for each other. He is a frat boy at heart and possibly always will be, and she is exactly the type of girl he would go for, so his brother's reservations about Amber and his warnings about her, were ridiculous. He obviously doesn't know his brother as well as he thinks he does. While Amber is pretty immature about her finances, she is also in need of learning and it seems like Barnett with his financial stability would have been able to help her with that and set her on the right path. But that's just my opinion. In terms of all of them and the concept of Love is Blind and the producers stressing the fact that once they return to the "real world" with social media and what not, that it will be a question of love being able to endure or not, I think is absurd. Meeting someone through dating apps, social media, or out and about, does not secure anything. Feelings can change regardless of how two people meet, so the show has its flaws, and I do not like the idea of blaming social media for the demise of relationships. People had eyes before social media was a thing. Take responsibility for your own actions and leave social media out of this. Overall, though, the show with its concept was interesting to watch. I don't know that it needs another season, not without making some serious changes, but I would love a "Where are they now?" episode or something at some point, maybe a year down the line. But I could do without it too.
