Imagine they do get married (but I think Deepti says no because she doesn’t want someone who doesn’t see her value), and then realizing your husband sees you as his old middle aged aunt and is completely physically repulsed by the very thought of intimacy with you? That’s gotta HURT

[@KassandraQuiseng]

Danielle needs therapy, not a husband. She needs to work through whatever serious self image issues she’s having because she is the queen of self sabotage. She doesn’t think she deserves a happy relationship so she does all she can to read through the non existent lines to misinterpret or reinterpret every single thing Nick says or does. She overanalyzes and overthinks everything to turn it into an attack on herself and it’s sad. She seems very sweet, but she can’t go on like this. With that being said she seems like a fun girl to be friends with. I would hang out with her to play air guitar in a corn costume.

[@PaintingsOfBeauty]

This show definitely proves love is blind...blind to red flags. So many red flags are being ignored and/or being painted green/white. I understand often times, especially in the initial stages of a relationship, we focus a lot on how we feel more that being objective about how the other person is treating us and the compatibility level. We have all been there (myself included). I really hope these couple would take a step back, think things over more, and not jump so quick into marriage.

[@shamimfischer]

[@skeliskull]

The punchline of this show is that Love Is not blind. The only couples that work are ones where the physical attraction exists. The rest of the couples have to go through emotional torment trying to convince themselves it can somehow work without it.

[@babymac1379]

@@Victoria-tg2ze I think that this also comes from some people's perception of therapy. There's a reason people are supposed to have yearly physicals to make sure everything is still good physically and personally, I don't see anything wrong with needing a little support for things to work out emotionally or mentally. I think we as a society have probably idealized this idea of love. Seeing a couples therapist doesn't make them incompatible. It's rare that people communicate the exact same way and sometimes it's helpful just to have a third party to help you talk things through. Sometimes that one time can improve your relationship enough that they are more on the same page and have fewer miscommunications. It's personal opinions for sure, just figured I could throw in my two cents too.

[@meganlamb7665]

@@Victoria-tg2ze I think of couples therapy more as preventative then as a last resort fixer. If you are going to couples therapy as a last resort in your relationship then your relationship likely won't last. marriage is like a muscle you need to strengthen and therapy can be one way to do that.

[@vanessahobbes3072]

Kinda/sorted related. I am debating being married in my church, one thing they would require ahead of the ceremony is having to meet with the pastor for pre martial counseling. A couple sessions to ensure this is a good fit not just spiritually but also just to ensure we are ready for this next step. It’s not really the same as therapy but I think it’s helpful, even if not for religious purposes.

[@fastpace101]

Therapy shouldn't be televised tho

[@KassandraQuiseng]

Okay episodes 1-5 Shayne made me uncomfortable and I thought he was out of his mind, but now? He’s growing on me!! He’s oddly charming? I think it’s his self awareness about his own behavior like when he admits to Natalie that he knows he’s obnoxious. I’m starting to enjoy the dynamic between him and Natalie. When he said he sings Celine Dion in the shower and later told Shake to “turn off the lights and put on some Boyz II Men” I found him endearing. Don’t get me wrong though I still think he has his moments. The way he got genuinely mad about being bad at baseball at the bachelor party made me uncomfortable again. I can’t forget him still flirting with Shaina after asking Natalie to be his girlfriend, but I’m cautiously liking him.

[@jasonvargas7564]

I was about to get SO mad at him when he went to Natalie afterwards and asked her about what Shaina said, as if he was actually taking shainas words to heart and having doubts about their relationship. Thankfully he didn’t though

Natalie is so mature and healthy. I thought she was annoying at first then started to really admire her. In some situations like when Shayne walked away (twice?) in the middle of the dates, or throwing tantrum, or when he was talking to Shaina, I thought Natalie would be upset but she never created any dramas or embarrassing scenes. She seems so calm and sensible. It also helps that her voice is super soothing! She’s not a typical edgy good looking Korean girl you see on TV but definitely growing on me and looking more and more beautiful throughout the show inside out.

[@thatgirlinautumn5995]

She seems lovely honestly, I really enjoy listening to her

[@bigbadbarbra]

I didn't interpret her character like that. I saw her desperately trying to fit the mold of Shayne fiance. They had nothing in common but she spent the entire season trying to convince herself that they were perfect for each other. Meanwhile, every conversation they had she would 'jokingly' tell him, "get away" "stop it" etc. Shayne was much more immature than Natalie but she ignored all the red flags. The drama in the pods should have ended her interest in him. He's everything she described to be wrong on her last relationships. She's beautiful and I'm so glad she said no in the end. That 'night that changed everything' before their wedding was super sketchy BTW. Am I the only person who sensed real danger and urgency when Natalie was speaking about it at the finale? I'm honestly worried that Shayne DID something really harmful, not just SAID something (you know what I mean). Natalie didn't deserve any of that shit

[@ceeaich]

Just watched the episode with Shaina on the beach… wow. So gross, manipulative, and disrespectful. And she kept saying earlier, “this is about me finding MY husband. I want no regrets”. Nah. You had a chance. You don’t get to try to break up an engaged couple because you’re having regrets. Sidenote: her family are gross. “Being an American” is not a specific lifestyle, look, or set of beliefs, but I don’t think these people understand that

She should have sorted out the religion issue way back. It should have been one of the very first things discussed in the pods. When Kyle proposed to her, she should have said that because it was so important to her she needed to know if he accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. But she did not. Shaina rejected Kyle because she was still carrying the torch for Shayne. She then tries to break up Natalie and Shayne. She is a sh*tty person.

[@PlsWaLuigiDomMe]

Shake honestly is so bad to me. He seems to have a complex around being Indian and worshiping whiteness and needing approval from white society. He wanted Shane so badly to back him up and say she isn't attractive. His name says that right off the bat. I have never met a brown guy who has chosen a shorten name like that who isn't whitewashed and ashamed of their culture. I think he isn't attracted to her because she isn't who he thinks white dude bros will be jealous of. Totally one of those guys who date to prove something to others. Nothing is wrong with having a preference but it it's so obvious his preference here is tied to race. Deepti is an actually stunning woman. I generally don't get his comments about her appearance when she's literally hotter than him. The comments that she reminds him of his Aunt is soooo telling. What about her is matronly? I'm pretty sure it's just the fact that she is Indian. Also of note is how he said he has dated only blondes. I get dating mostly white because as a POC who grew up around majority white people, I know that happens, but like idk his obsession with not just white but German WW2 aryan-esque features makes me uncomfortable.\ I feel so bad for Deepti he's telling everyone who will listen he isn't into her appearance, but even worse. If that was the case why squeeze her butt when they met. That was so gross and disrespectful, especially considering his tune.

I don't think we should read anything into Danielle's actual personality from her anxiety. She just seems to be in INTENSE need of treatment for anxiety. I was just like her before I got on meds for it, and now the things I used to have panic attacks over literally are just not issues anymore. Anxiety is WILD. Big problem with it is that "danger" chemicals flood your brain at random times and then you go "well I feel like I'm scared so there must be a reason" and then you basically just pick the nearest reason "I feel scared so that must mean I'm scared my boyfriend hates me" I saw a post that says she's doing better now. :)

Shake´s parents are adorable - not sure why Shake turned out this bad... I think he wants to be all American so bad that he becomes a caricature...

[@happycamper3561]

I honestly think these shows are showing that ultimately, healthy and stable relationships require trust. And trust is not based on someone saying all the right things. Trust is built over time based on someone being consistently kind good and dependable. That is why all the couples are terrified by the last episode. Because they do not have a foundation of trust established. Also- deepti if you see this- you need to dump shake he is toxic to the core.

[@MartaRC32]

the other thing is that the show is about love being blind, but it circles back to the physical appearances of the participants when they meet, so it goes back to square zero...

[@stockton350]

Agreed. The experiment doesn't really work unless everyone is physically unattracted to each other.

Honestly, Natalie and Shayne have the best chance of making it out of all the couples. I’ll say it again, I just want the best for Sal, Iyanna, and Deepti and I’m so worried that this experience is not that lmao

[@MartaRC32]

Iyanna never got over the fact that Jarred proposed to Mallary first, and she has tons of issues - not liking to kiss a man or being intimate -- Jarred is too physical - this will never work... As to Deepti, Shake represents everything that women hate these days - after the show, he won´t be able to find a woman ever again - at least, not a woman with brains (and a netflix subscription!)... I don´t think Deepti went ahead with the wedding, or both came to an agreement of her saying no in the ceremony and both just walking away as friends - fingers crossed as she deserves much better than this guy...

I SCREAMED when we didn’t get Nick’s answer. As an empath, I feel for Danielle. I agree she’s not ready for marriage as she needs deep, intense therapy to stop projecting on her partner. But I know if Nick says no that it’s going to throw her into a deep spiral and that’s weighing on Nick more than anything. He shouldn’t be a villain for trying to protect himself but mostly her.

[@VictoriaMartinez-ri8wq]

I feel like in the preview from next week finale, the reaction of Danielle's face tells me that Nick says "No"

[@jasonvargas7564]

I truly hope he says no, not because I don’t want them to work (they were my number 1 couple before Shane and Natalie took that spot as the episodes went by) but because Danielle desperately needs therapy to work through her anxiety and insecurities and self sabotaging tendencies. I hope he says no, and wants to instead stay engaged and get to know each other more and work on their relationship more and make it stronger before they both can say yes and mean it, rather than Danielle saying it now because of the pressure of the constraints for the show but really internally freaking out, and Nick saying no because the fights that they have are not healthy at the moment.

[@deezuschrist]

His facial expressions, and the amount he was sweating made it very obvious to me that he is probably going to say no. He didn’t look happy at all which is how he would look if he was stoked to be marrying her. It’s for the best though because the amount of bickering they’re doing about the dumbest shit is not a good sign for long term success. You could also tell he was very turned off by her immature lifestyle when he went to her place.

[@mindyt5557]

If he marries her he will regret it. Too many red flags. Her toxicity is next level and until she gets intensive therapy she will seek out the worst and bring out the worst in a mate. She's draining.

I’m soooo confused about sheik attraction to deepti. She’s beautiful! She’s conveniently attractive and meets both western and Indian beauty standards. I get you don’t want to date your aunt, but I doubt she really looks that much like her. He sounds like a fool with internalised hate who just really doesn’t want to date Indian women. Every Indian girl is going to remind him of his aunt… (some people like dating a partner who looks like their family, will fit in and empathise with their struggles!)

[@jo0ls_dee]

The whole Danielle and Nick relationship things you said: 1000% agree. All reality dating shows should have a psychological/therapy component, near the end at the very least. But I also think there should be a few on call since this is a really high stress, high emotion, high vulnerability, high chance for it being traumatic if things go badly type of situation. In terms of best practices and caring for the people you're profiting off of it makes more sense, ethically if nothing else. That's just my 2 cents.

In the earlier episodes I admit I wasn’t feeling a strong future for Shayne and Natalie. The most recent ones I see more growth with them. Shayne seems to be defending their relationship, especially with Shaina. And Natalie seems to be working on giving him what he needs in the relationship. Shake….I can’t. Just no more, please. Deeps deserves better, even his own mother says so! Danielle and Nick…Nick needs to control that urge to stir the pot and start drama. And Danielle has so many insecurities, and a big fear of divorce, it’s gonna kill their relationship. Nick seems to be trying to support and listen to her when she struggles. But I think she needs some self love first. If I’m correct, even her mom (I think) confirmed that Danielle tends to blow up her own relationships. And that it’s a trait in the family (doesn’t seem like a healthy one if that’s your argument).

Shayne actually really grew on me! He seemed like a total jerk in the first few episodes, but then became a good all who says the right things and even supports other guys and gives me legitimately good advice. I think production may have picked the worst quotes from him to support the idea that he’s “dumb”, but I think he’s just a giant goofball. There’s a short interview on the shows IG where all the couples predict who’s most likely to end up together and all of the couples agree that Shayne and Natalie are perfect for each other and more likely to get married. I think there’s so much we don’t see that the cast does, so maybe he isn’t so bad after all!

[@jeanelleloiseau438]

I think the reason why they don't have a therapist on the show is so it doesn't look like Netflix is coping Married At First Sight. The hosts of MAFS are all therapists and pop in once in a while to check in on the couples. I do think a therapy session would benefit the LIB couples, but then the shows would be too similar. Both go on honeymoons, live together, and the shows end with a decision; for LIB is if theyre gonna get married and for MAFS is if they want to stay together or get a divorce. If they do get therapists, they would probably not show the actual sessions on camera but instead have the couples reflect on what happened during it

MAFS and LIB are produced and created by the same production company.

I actually love Shane and Natalie. I hated him initially but I am actually rooting for them now. Shakes mom was amazing, I want her in my family. Danielle has major issues she needs help overcoming. She is a walking pole of insecurities. They 100% should have couples therapy as part of this experiment. They could add it as a 3rd pod so no one sees anyone.

[@tigrezangel]

I really want Nick and Danielle to make it, but also, I think that Danielle needs a lot of help. I know that it means to live with anxiety and also that therapy is a good thing; and when one is willing to do the work, the results are great. Nick has been so patient with her, and of what has been shown, he's the one who seeks conversation when both are calm. Also, Iyanna bringing up every time that she was the second choice, when Jarrette hasn't given her reasons to doubt him is not cool. That just makes me think that they aren't going to make it.

[@olpabas]

I agree with your take, but also would add that Nick needs some help in how he's communicating with Danielle as well.
