This season of “Love Is Blind” is less about rooting for any of the couples, and more about watching with fascination as relationships fall apart and — maybe — come back together. And this week, the couple that did NOT defy the odds, is horny-for-Americana J.P. and sweet kindergarten teacher Taylor.

After forcing his partner to endure three days of painful awkwardness, in which he answered every question with one word, J.P. revealed to Taylor that the root of their issues was… HER MAKEUP. Yes… her makeup. Because how dare a woman who is filming an internationally broadcast television show put on false eyelashes for her big engagement reveal? The horror!

Luckily, Taylor seemed just as appalled by this as those of us watching, and she decided things between them simply needed to end. Good for you, Tay. No one deserves a life with a semi-sentient American flag.

(I also read — unfortunately after taping this episode — that there were apparently other couples that got engaged that they chose not to follow???? Was this cast truly such a bunch of duds that they just didn’t bother??? I have so many follow-up questions for everyone involved in this production.)

Other dramas discussed in this recap of episodes 5-7: Izzy’s lingering hatred for Johnie, Johnie’s rekindling with Chris, Uche’s in-person meetup with Aaliyah, Uche’s confrontation with Lydia, and all the shower sex scenes we were forced to endure.

Hope you enjoy! Xo
