Conversations between pod exes rarely go well. There’s always a few uncomfortable moments of borderline cheating that end up getting played at the reunion. Before she and Connor really spent time getting to know each other, Briana wanted a vulnerable and vaguely flirty conversation with Chris that delivered closure beyond their pod breakup. And her desire for that conversation, even if it was innocent, made Connor very uncomfortable. It’s not looking like their shared love of “Mr. Brightside” is enough to propel Connor and Briana to the altar.
All Devo Wants To Do Is Read A Book And Watch The Sunrise
After finding out they’re the only couple that hasn’t consummated their engagement, Brittany W. can’t help but wonder if Devo is holding back emotionally because she hasn’t welcomed sex in their very new union. In turn, Brittany tells him she’s open to taking that next step if it will bring them closer, but Devo remains guarded. God forbid a man wants to sit in silence and not talk about his emotions on the “talk about your emotions” show.
As Brittany builds up the strength to confront Devo, telling him she doesn’t even feel engaged, he explains with the classic Midwestern reasoning that sometimes he just doesn’t want to talk. He’d rather read outside while watching the sun rise instead of staying in bed until Brittany wakes up. She originally didn’t want to rush into a sexual relationship, and that’s fine because outside of the pods, Devo doesn’t want to be intimate with her period, emotionally or physically. Production also did him so dirty zooming in on his feet during this conversation for absolutely no reason. Thank you, Love Is Blind, for creating even more uncomfortable Ohio memes.
Telling Your Fiancée They’re Not Your Type
At the first couples meetup, people didn’t have too many complaints about their respective partners, but if he had to say something negative, Alex H. would tell the guys and Brittany that his fiancée Ashley is not a type he generally goes for. That’s right: Alex, who in all the scenes with just Ashley can’t keep his hands off her, is apparently not into blondes. Could have fooled literally anyone watching. Everyone in the pods likes to say looks don’t matter, but how often does someone add, “It’s not really a problem, but I must tell her she’s not my type”? With their strong physical connection, it feels odd that Alex places such emphasis on his attraction to darker features; a preference he feels so strongly that it’s only right to break the news to Ashley, or else he’s being dishonest.
He also encourages Brittany to tell Devo, who is already guarded, that he’s not her usual type either. Because everyone knows Love is Blind is all about finding the right person who looks exactly like all of your exes. At least these Ohioans are honest?
Messy Suitcases
Mike really doesn’t like that Emma has untidy suitcases. He not only brings it up to the guys as a defining flaw at the first meetup, but also tells Emma later that he hates how unorganized her suitcases are. As long as she got all her stuff from the pods to Mexico, who cares how unorderly she packed them? What an odd thing to get hung up on. It seems like Mike has the same urge that Alex does in looking for red flags for the sake of it. People from Ohio are so ordinary that this cast really has to dig deep to bring the drama.
