LOVE IS BLIND SEASON 5... yeah that's enough now (EP 8-11) | KennieJD

Johnnie, the woman who self admittely always goes after red flags, being the only woman falling for Uche's story is hilarious as hell to me.

[@verda_renee]

😂 This is such a good point!

[@NiyahNy]

As per Jessie Woo’s interview with Aaliyah, Johnie is one of Aaliyah’s best friends. I believe Johnie was holding Lydia accountable for Aaliyah. Not necessarily that she believed him or jumping to his defense. As it has been confirmed from Aaliyah that Lydia told Aaliyah that Uche and her had a conversation about applying to be on the show.

[@kalikayy]

​@@NiyahNyagreed and also the whole internet essentially believes Uches story cause lotttsss of people think Lydia followed Uche to the show

[@Ashbrash1998]

​@@kalikayywell she also downplayed a lot of stuff too. And Aaliyah had an interview on the Camerons channel and said she was shown stuff from Lydia & Uche and came to the conclusion it was both of them.

I think both Izzy and Stacey presented themselves WAY different in the pods. Izzy made himself seem like a provider and Stacey made herself seem like a Chill Girl, and neither are actually that lol

[@4everTimber]

I think Izzy’s misogyny is often overlooked because Stacy is so off-putting as a person. Yes, Stacy can be annoying and is incredibly high maintenance but Izzy’s behavior is also gross. He was absolutely still into Johnie but wanted to prove to Stacy that he wasn’t by “railing into her”. And it didn’t work since the moment Stacy ended things he went running back to Johnie. He’s a walking red flag imo but people don’t acknowledge them because of his good looks & because they don’t like Stacy.

[@Ashbrash1998]

Don't forget that Stacey was flat out attacking Johnnie too. Granted they were drinking but she still did that with Izzy

[@anna86381]

FACTS, I didn’t like Stacy AT ALL but Izzy was also so suspicious to me. He came off really mean and gross and didn’t seem to respect any of the women, including Stacy sometimes.

side note: i dont find him attractive at all tbh i dont see what everyone is seeing...he looks like a squirrel or some type of rat and johnnie looks like a mannequin head... but people are swearing up and down that they're soooooo fine..

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

The way he went up to Stacey and was just pouring on the totally fake love and appreciation made me really dislike him and Stacey was onto him IMMEDIATELY and calls him out. Stacey seems like a nightmare for a partner, but she’s extremely intuitive and smart, so respect for that, at least.

I mean it is not good, but at the time of spending this whole time working to please someone and they are like um...not enough. After that pattern in their relationship. I am sure if someone caught you in a moment of emotional vulnerability you would not like some of the things you said in that moment publicized. Not to mention he does have a point. She is 30, has incredibly high standards and has spent the whole relationship telling him how she is perfect and how he needs to do more. If it is a pattern in her relationships, it is fair to question why if she wants marriage, she is not yet married at 30. Was it appropriate for him to say in that moment? No. Does it make him the devil himself? No

Breaking promises and concealing the truth until the last hour would also make me call it off too. He was banking on her being too invested emotionally by that point nd too pressured by the time restraints of both the show and her age to pull out of the relationship (there was ample opportunity to tell her before the night before the wedding, including being asked directly) but the girl stuck to her guns of what she needs in a relationship which is not a bad thing.

You skipped over Izzy saying “makes me wonder why Stacie is 33 and unmarried” after she said no.

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

Yeah, I thought the same. Izzy came off as EXTREMELY disingenuous around Stacey and her family, implying he now makes a lot of money, which wasn’t true- he had worked a sales job for a few days before taking off two months for the show, so he was probably broke. Yet he tells her family that he wasn’t in a financial place to travel but now he’s ready to “just go” as if he’s in the position to fly anywhere and everywhere. Yeah bro, you know you can’t afford coach, let alone first class. When he told Stacey it turned him on to see her berating Johnie like a 14 yo girl, I literally cringed. Absolutely disgusting. That’s his true character- he’s an ass kisser and sometimes his attempts to kiss act go over the line of acceptability. It’s pathetic.

I have to agree with this take. I understand people hookup (I don't but I don't judge). But it felt very idk dehumanizing. I know hookup's aren't supposed to be deep but it was the keeping the stuff that really made me feel like he views women as objects/conquest and he might be more upset that Stacey wasn't something he could conquer. I'll be fair and say that he might not mean it that way at all but idk still feels weird man.

The first thing my mom said when seeing Uche was “he doesn’t like girls like her. He like the pretty light skin girls” then when it came out he dated Lydia she was like “WHAT DID I SAY”! and the fact Miram told him she was Nigerian my mom was like “he’s assuming she’s dark skinned”. All that to say my mom was right and maybe I need to ask her more things about my dating life 😂😅😵‍💫

[@Ashbrash1998]

Aaliyah in an interview claimed that she heard Uche say he wasn't attracted to her but in worser terms

[@terrycrews1760]

Funny how your mom said he was assuming she was dark skin but the reality is your mom was assuming he was assuming her skin color. She also was assuming he only likes bright girls. Just bc he didn’t like Aliyah how does that disqualify him from like ALL brown women? Y’all gon have to come w/ some more evidence instead of making up stories. By the way he already posted on his IG his ex was black and he’s been seen in public on another forum w/a brown skin woman w/ natural hair so I guess moms not too right after all and just made up how she feels.

[@shaliquebrown800]

The way he talked to Miriam compared to Stacy. The way he was still invested in Lydia instead of focusing on his relationship with Aaliyah. Black men will dismiss black women and treat lighter skin women like trash.

@@fartunyep4501 Seems like some weird African guy thing on that show. Many are arrogant and "status" chasing. So weird. They treat light skinned and WW as some kind of trophy while denigrating darked-skinned bw. I've experienced it myself being a light skinned caribbean woman. Not a fun thing to discuss but it's often true.

[@verda_renee]

It's so wild to me that Uche spun this whole narrative that Lydia was obsessed with him and came on the show specifically to stalk him when EVERYTHING we have actually seen is him being weirdly obsessed with what's happening with her. It gives big 'inflated ego' energy. Lydia came on here, found her a boo and moved along.... while Uche was going on and on constantly about what the two of them had. The only time Lydia ever spoke of him was because she was becoming close to Aaliyah and seemingly feeling bad that she couldn't warn her friend of what she knew about Uche, especially after the thing where he was so judgemental about Aaliyah cheating before when Lydia knew he had done the same. That's where I think it got weird for Lydia because she wanted so bad to warn her friend but couldn't because pretending she didn't know him had already gone too far. I can see how it would be tricky when the new friend your getting close to has a guy whose making her feel like shxt about cheating in the past and you KNOW that guy has done the same - but you can't say anything? Uche was clearly operating in pure delusion and ego while Lydia was legit just trying to find love, and found it. Men like Uche can't accept when their ego is shattered like that - he NEEDED her to be stuck on him and his ego couldn't accept that she wasn't. I just hate that Aaliyah was caught in the middle of it all, she deserved better.

[@cozycasasmr4510]

this is so on point

[@lilblackies]

Yeah and I also saw, in another interview that Aliya did, that she believes the production WANTED Lydia to get close to her BECAUSE of that and that's really fucked up when you think about it!

[@PamelaBowsArt]

Exactly!!!!!!!!!

[@CaulkMongler]

Side note, but I actually saw a compilation of Lydia’s conversations with Milton and she frequently recenters herself as the focus of the conversation and when Milton tries to express his feelings, Lydia goes to “well how do you think that makes ME feel?” I think Uche by far is visibly more toxic, but Lydia is by no means totally innocent. I think their volatility definitely built up off each other.

[@terrycrews1760]

You really got the details all mixed up. I wish people would go back and do their research more carefully. Lydia is the fullest of red flags. She sobbed over IZZY at the BEGINNING! Lmao. He had 3 women to choose from and dropped her first and she was crying like it was the end of the world acting all woe is me. Please love me, anybody. That woman doesn’t need to be married, she needs a dog and a therapist. So she proceeds to go to Milton as a backup option. And then Proceeds to word vomit about sex she had w/ Uche to his only connection. Why would Aliyah want to hear that!?! The types of nice things he owns like his home, car and dog from his ex-gf on the show. Lydia was literally bragging about him😂 Now tell me that doesn’t scream red flags, bc literally she turns around and starts singing a different tune when Uche tells everyone about the real stalker Lydia is. The cheating comment is not proven. I see you went and believed her but didn’t believe anything Uche said. Smh ppl and their selective hearing.

[@justatinyhalfling]

Right!?! That sh*t wasn’t cute at all. If Izzy said that (and I’m not giving Izzy credit he showed his true colours), everyone would have gone WILD.

[@janatomlin1296]

honestly, I wanna give her the benefit of the doubt that she was just wording it wrong, because other than that her expressing her wants and needs is pretty good to do in a relationship. I will say that her personality is very much rich valley, girl, and that is a turn off to a lot of middle-class/poor Americans like me! But honestly, Izzy really showed his ass and he made me like her more. If she wasn’t a valley girl who was used to getting rich, older men, I think he would’ve been able to play her like a fiddle, but because she’s already used to getting a certain type of attention with red flags she wasn’t excepting his broke ass! and that’s not a bad thing I feel like as women were told to not ask for the things we want, but if you look around, you won’t get what you want if you don’t ask for it. and if you keep being a guy that shows you over and over again that he’s not gonna do the things you want and you stay just because you love him then he’s never going to get better because you won’t leave.

Honestly I would wonder when izzy would get bored and leave if I was in a relationship with him. He is a player with wandering attention and a trophy drawer.

[@mishylove]

I disagree. Milton is 24 and tried to express his feelings to her which he isn't very used to doing. He was right about Lydia giving Uche too much power and time. He said that they had a signal between the both of them that they show each other when the other is uncomfortable and wants to leave (a specific emoji) which is what he did when he showed Lydia his phone while saying "I'll give you ten minutes because we actually have somewhere to go later". She disregarded that to continue to let Uche talk down on her and argue curse and scream. He didn't demean her he pointed out a behavior that he was uncomfortable with. I do think Milton thinking Lydia should react the way he does is unfair. Lydia is her own person with her own feelings. But expecting her to not put him in embarrassing, uncomfortable, annoying or volatile situations is a reasonable request.

6:56 I'm surprised you didn't talk about uche having a fight with Miriam, the only black woman that was talking with the pod girlie. It didn't add anything but it deff showed me Uche diminishes black women's voices.

[@lvvrgrl]

Yes!! That was such a flagrant act of rudeness!! I know we can’t trust the edit but I was very weirded out by that interaction, it seemed unwarranted. She is allowed to voice her opinion too… I look at Uche with a permanent side especially after witnessing him disrespecting two black women in such a manner. He is a piece of work.

@bookworm4133 From other recaps I have watched people have been saying Lydia set it up and knew Uche was going to be there. Logically that doesn't make sense.

[@Birdyboys]

@@bookworm4133I think because of that one clip of Lydia saying they could just start over to Uche gave people red flags (plus her blatantly lying to Aaliyah even at the reunion)

[@birdi3beez]

Doesn’t make sense. Kinetic, the production co behind the show, does MAFS. They could have just as easily held them back for that show. They have a habit of casting for both shows from the same group of people. They did it to Kwame form last season and almost did it for Uche this season. That lady was not in cahoots with him.

[@terrycrews1760]

Why are you so confused about it? She heard he was going to attempting to cast and bc she was so obsessed w/him she applied to be on the show also, either a sneaky way to get back w/him or to try and make him jealous. Of course she’s not going to admit it. What are y’all expecting?

[@sweetie_babie]

I feel like you're cutting Izzy a bit too much slack. He went to go badger Johnnie for something that had nothing to do with him, question her character and then went to her partner at the time to badmouth her by trying to bring up old things she and Chris had presumably worked through already to try to break them up. That isn't "I'm looking out for my friend", that's "I want to hurt this person by ruining a good thing for them" --- and you don't do that shit to people you don't care about or think are inconsequential I also think that Stacy had reason to be upset. We don't really get to see their day to day (weirdly i feel like there was less of that this season even though there were way less couples) but if all he was doing was bringing flowers once a week to the house when he said he'd be doing more in the pods, that's a reason. Clearly her love language is gift giving and acts of service, him not doing much of anything makes her feel unappreciated. Expressing that doesn't put her in the wrong. And considering that she was elated about a coupon that puts the onus on *her* to ask for her love language and a plunger, her bar was pretty low --- so i can only imagine what little he was doing before 😂

[@Fluff_Noodles]

​@@asteridshydrangea-jt2hf oh my god I could NOT understand any of the comments complaining about Izzy at all until I read your reply! I feel so stupid for giving him the benefit of the doubt.

[@chrissyshae]

yup i agree plus his interview after the wedding was very telling... i can't stop thinking about how he was so against johnie but he ended up kissing her?

[@renleys]

he was one of the worst this seasons to me. wants to appear a certain way to people and do the "right things" but when it comes down to it, he's a really nasty insecure person tbh. his true colors showed a LOT with johnnie, he was so horrible to her and then couldnt let it go her when she called him fake... even tho she only did that because he called HER fake. like are you fucking serious.... LOL. then gaslighting johnnie as if he never liked her is so fucking middle school. he's just immature as fuck. not to mention acting like he understood stacey's decision at the alter and then being mad salty afterwards. such a fake person, and i think thats why he was so offended when johnnie called him out on it 🤡

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

I agree. I think Izzy is almost like a replica of a person. He sees all of the things Stacey has and he wants in on that luxury, and has implied he makes a lot of money now, but that obviously isn’t true based on what he said about his job. I think he tried way too hard to impress Stacey and it made him look fake to the core. Johnie didn’t deserve him berating her, but he was clearly jealous of her being with Chris and he was punishing her for it. Then saying Stacey also berating Johnie for something totally minor “turning him on”- to me he was afraid Stacey could tell that he had feelings for Johnie and he was overcompensating by going up to her and laying on the lovey dovey crap SO thick that she was even like “what’s wrong with you”. It was so obvious he wasn’t trying to help Chris- it was more so him just showing his jealousy over their relationship

[@julie91295]

Honestly they can both suck though lol. Like it doesn’t have to be one thing or the other. Stacie is annoying and unreasonable and Izzy is also misogynistic but that’s not a problem for Stacie I don’t think. Since she needs the man to pay for dinner even when she’s married, so clearly she doesn’t care that much about misogyny. She jsut want to be taken care of the way her dad takes care of her.

Lydia being called a lot is kinda not accurate in my opinion. She calmly listens to these men talk and throw accusitions at her for long periods of time and having calm discussions with them but her blow ups after being hammered at is the only thing people take note of. Yeah she's emotional and can be obtuse to other people's feelings, but she's also quite reasonable 80% of the time.

i agree stacy had questionable moments but her argument with izzy after the bbq wasn’t one of them IMO. he kept mentioning how seeing her “rail johnnies ass” turned him on even tho she already had conversations with him in the past about how it bothers her that he only ever gives her validation when it has to do with johnnie. and then for him to end up making out with her a few weeks after they split… yeahhhh stacy knew in her gut izzy still had a thing for johnnie

[@manderly33]

Yeah, Izzy is getting a big pass here. His “romantic gesture” was getting her a PLUNGER to remind her that she clogged a toilet while they were in Mexico. Reminding someone of a humiliating moment is not romantic. My husband and I gently roast each other all the time, but we’ve also been married for ten years. Izzy does not care about his “friend” Chris; he does not want the woman he rejected to move on. Even if it were somehow genuine, I’m sorry, he does not know enough about Johnnie to know whether she would be a good partner to Chris or not. She’s messed up, but THEY ALL ARE, with the exception of maybe Taylor and Aaliyah. She’s not a scam artist or a serial cheater ffs. And he made Stacey a BUNCH of promises about who he would be as a partner that he clearly had no intention of fulfilling. Nobody made him say “sky’s the limit” when asked about his finances. HE did that. Lying about your finances to a partner is a big deal; money breaks people up all the time. And wanting to be loved “no matter what” just makes me want to ask “Why? What did you do?”

[@jayzt705]

Yeah I don't get why Kennie has such opposing views of Uche talking to Milton (saying since when are they friends?!) vs Izzy talking to Chris which was exactly the same

[@jayzt705]

Also glossing over the fact he hooked up with Johnie as soon as Stacy had dumped him lol, what about his supposed friendship with Chris then?

[@Ebichuchu]

Izzy was still so clearly into Johnie once he saw her it was actually embarrassing to watch. Then to find out they made out after the show and him and Stacy were over? Shocker. Also not sure why Johnie went for it after the way he insulted her, but that’s neither here nor there. Uche was the red flag one from day 1. The way he speaks to women is so unacceptable and he comes across as so narcissistic. The reunion made me feel like we owed Lydia a bit of an apology finding out that production TOLD THEM not to tell anyone they knew of each other

[@jayzt705]

Yeah production told them but she could have kept her distance from Aaliyah then instead of getting all up in her business w Uche under the disguise of being close friends. She was cold af to her at the reunion - clearly not much of a friendship in the end. Lydia didn't have good intentions even if she eventually ended up moving on. If anyone is owed an apology it's Aaliyah.

[@k90001]

I keep going back to Stacey standing with her dad before they walked down the aisle. "You made the right choice" he said or something like that. I think Stacey had changed her mind about marrying Izzy because they didn't sign a prenup and his financial status would affect hers. She made it very clear that she doesn't want to be a financial crutch for her partner. Not to say that she didn't love him, but it was smart of her to tell him that they needed more time. And then his commentary after she said no was truly himself.

[@mznbhd]

Spot on

[@knowdaqueen177]

I heard a rumor that Stacy told Izzy days in advance that she would say no but they went to the altar because production only had two couples

[@k90001]

@knowdaqueen177 Well, there's a story that keeps floating around that there were actually 3 couples that made it to the altar, but the 3rd couple got entirely cut from the episodes for reasons that aren't confirmed. So I would wonder if she told him days prior why he'd have such a reaction after they talked outside if he supposedly knew or even wrote her a letter.

[@knowdaqueen177]

@@k90001 because he got wasted after their convo. It also tracks with how Izzy treated Johnnie who was his number one through most of the pods only to relegate her to “a pod chick” after.

the way uche first reacted to hearing Lydia's voice in the pods was so weird, he spent a good few moments 'not remembering' her and I felt like that was so odd because she has a distinctive voice (at least to me, but maybe in that area it's more common to have that accent? but I'd still remember someone's voice if I had dated them) and especially when it came out that they had slept together 2 months before, he MUST have been pretending to not recognize her quickly as a ego boost to himself

[@knowdaqueen177]

Idk Lydia can be very fake i.e when she met Milton’s family. She knows how to code switch. I can see him not recognizing her voice especially after talking to multiple people behind a wall.

[@birdi3beez]

That interaction is also how I know she wasn’t in cahoots with him. She immediately named him. Meanwhile he was trying to pretend he didn’t recognize her.

[@MissKashira]

12:00 Nope. This isn't what is happening. Stacy is incredibly good at reading people. Shockingly good. Don't get me wrong, she's mean and stuck up, but what seems like her blowing up for nothing is actually her picking up on things that you didn't. For example, the place Izzy showed her is an Airbnb. Dude is homeless. That also means that his lost and found is one of two things. Either he went out and bought pieces of jewelry and stuff and made a point to show her in order to fake his prowess and make her insecure or he takes these left behind items from place to place as he couch surfs like trophies. She attacked Johnnie for seemingly no reason because she was able to read Izzy's behavior and realized that Izzy still has feelings for Johnnie and so she was jealous of her. Stacy thought she "stole" Izzy from Johnnie only to find out she got an inconsistent hobo with no plates and a sex trophy collection. So imagine having the bum you stole hung up on the girl you stole him from and she shows up all glowing and happy with a better looking guy who probably has a job, a place to live and plates. The last thing was when Izzy told her he was turned on by the way she tore into Stacy. She knew that behavior was motivated by shame and humiliation. She doesn't want to be with someone who would not only encourage her to behave like she's on Jerry Springer, but be turned on by it. Izzy likes when women fight over him and Stacy picked that up by what he was saying and how he was acting. She wasn't overreacting, she was reading the parade of red flags coming off this man.

[@evb154]

"Izzy likes when women fight over him" YES he likes the attention. I agree with your takes and I also think this is why he kept wanting to have convos with Lydia and Johnie, despite the fact both women were already cool with how things ended up. I think he saw Johnie and Chris were happy, that she wasn't still hung up on him, and it bothered him majorly. He enjoyed 'railing' into her a little too much, and telling Stacy it turned him on? I'm really surprised people don't see all the red flags that guy kept giving. I am not a fan of Stacy, but it is obvious she had a bit of an insecurity about Johnie who he later went on to call 'just a pod chick'. I'm glad Stacy pointed out that's how they met, too. She wanted to be appreciated for who she was, not for the comparisons with Johnie. But Izzy only really seemed to come alive when he was being nasty to a woman he did not pick, even after expressly telling her he wanted her to show him that he was her number one.

[@emhu2594]

Stacey saw all the flags but still chose Izzy because she wanted to "win." Makes me sad for women.

[@MissKashira]

@@emhu2594 In the pods they were both presenting fake versions of themselves in order to get picked. The same way Stacy presented herself as "the fun girl" there was a reason Izzy shared with Johnnie his financial issues but didn't tell Stacy about them even as she's asking him if he'll be able to drop 20k on hour repairs if they come up. And this dude sitting there like a deer in headlights knowing he can't drop 20 bucks on gas cause he doesn't have a job.

[@AidenFeltkamp]

Izzy’s place being an AirBnB makes soooo much sense. Bc why would Izzy decorate like that? Seems very out of character or like he brought in someone yo decorate last minute. Izzy is so insecure and I knew the second Stacey said “no we need time” that he wouldn’t be able to handle the rejection even though it wasn’t a total rejection

[@MissKashira]

@@AidenFeltkamp That wasn't his issue. He needed a place to stay. He couldn't afford to move out and woo her. He couldn't even afford gas. And once he definitely has to couch surf and get a job anyway, why would he still want to date Stacy when they are utterly incompatible?

[@uraddiictOnx3]

Regardless of how Stacy came into her money, she’s 100% right to not want to marry a financially unstable man. Especially since Izzy was so shady when talking about it. I’m wondering why with the family background her dad couldn’t help her find a suitor more on their level lol

[@bouncyshak]

Rare occasion where I disagree with most of your takes. Izzy was not 'caring for' Chris. Stacey's intuition was right, he was doing it out of unresolved feelings for Johnnie (which was her concern, not that he wanted Chris?!) and he proved that by going after Johnnie when they broke up. The sex trophy thing was gross. Paper plates was bum behaviour too. He also promised things in the pods and never delivered. That's what the argument was about. Very strange that you'd use 'emotionally manipulative' to describe Stacey when Izzy is the one who lied to her to secure an engagement. She was simply forthright. And my comment is coming from someone who doesn't even like Stacey. Kennie sis please hone your discernment. That man is a liar and a scammer. The red flags were red flagging.

[@mishylove]

Izzy was the one who was emotionally manipulative. He did it Lydia when the couples went to the honeymoon and they got to meet. He wanted to talk to her and had that weird unnecessary conversation. Later at the BBQ he went and picked a fight with Jonnie who was now dating Chris. He did it to Stacey when he showed her that gross sex trophy box, when would cry about his lies and try to guilt her about him feeling "not good enough". Izzy is a huge red flag and Stacey made the right choice not to marry him.

[@isitbees]

Uche's argument with the Miriam at the BBQ was quite a bit of a red flag. He was always condicending but there was something about the intensity of his words towards her as the only black woman present vs the other women there. Then aliyah said she wasn't his type and it all made sense. Also Stacey telling izzi not to talk to Lydia in Spanish because she wouldn't be able to understand what they were saying didn't sit right with me With JP i remember he had spoken about his upbringing with his mother being difficult particularly for his sisters so i wonder if the misogyny is literally coming from inside the house. Which doesn't excuse anything since he obviously knows it is wrong but could explain where he got his weird ass views

[@britnicox3929]

Uche has decided that Lydia is the crazy ex girlfriend who is so obsessed with him because he’s so amazing and he did her such a good turn by pitying her enough to have sex with her a couple months before the show that he cannot handle her moving on and finding someone else as easy as she did. I would bet real money that he has told everybody in his life that she’s crazy, too, - and used the fact that she’s so emotional as evidence - and her going on TV for millions of people to see her not be that, getting seemingly happily married to them has made him spiral. I’m so glad that both Lydia and Aaliyah got away from him

[@iinkdy]

if we gave kennie one dollar for each hour she lost watching unhinged reality tv to entertain us, she'd be a trillionaire😭😭

[@thundercatbelle]

Uche and Mirram was arguing bc Uche lied on her to her connection to Connor. Uche was cock blocking and hating.

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

Folks be glossing over the important stuff, which is understandable because it sucked, but I wanna discuss juicy stuff. That was another key point in the "literally the entire cast didn't like him" Keyport at the reunion

[@hil3da]

Agreed! The argument between Miriam and Uche was a very important point of discussion. Skipping it is strange.

[@LeeyaMakesNoise]

Also- I felt a way that out of everyone he chose to devalue/dismiss it was the black woman. And then with Aaliyah saying he admitted she wasn't his type physically...it's giving colorism.

[@TarCarNey]

He is so weird.

[@shana_mcd]

We’re not giving Izzy all This grace lol

Kennie is the only reason why I know anything that’s happening on this show

[@screamingMouse411]

I feel like staying up most of the night is part of the mom experience

[@KateIlesFealy]

Watching this at 4.30am because my baby won't go back to sleep. So, yeah! 😂

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

I find this very desperate, opportunistic streak in Izzy- he is SO disingenuous and he tries WAY too hard with Stacey and he’s hinted at the fact that he’s excited to join Stacey’s rich family- saying her house is going to be his house too, but in a way that sounded like he expected to not kick into the mortgage at all, just freeload off of Stacey. Then she says something about a bigger sectional couch and he said “I’m down!!”, obviously thinking he’s down to use it, not for putting money in towards it. I think he was bummed to miss out on the family’s cash flow and about half as bummed to lose Stacey.

[@uraddiictOnx3]

He’s hobosexual 😂

[@richardperez7205]

I feel you on reality tv season burnout. I feel the same with Drag Race and Big Brother. After the first month or so of getting to know the cast, I get bored/exhausted quickly…

[@bouncyshak]

The fact that you applauded Izzy for crying and not getting violent is wild?! Not just because of the obvious point but also because crying was totally disproportionate to the conversation. In that instance, she brought a grievance to him and he ended up spinning it so she was the one comforting him in the end. He also threatened to leave ("I'm done") all because she expressed dissatisfaction one time, based on his broken promises. I don't know what kind of relationship dynamics you're used to but that was extremely concerning behaviour. Maybe it's a halo effect kind of deal but your comments about misogynistic, manipulative brokie Izzy have really shocked me.

[@ninalimonn9494]

You know the bar is in hell when we start praising men for not being physically abusive ON TV 😭

[@AFFTFOMSICHTS]

FR!! I like her but her take on Izzy is not it.

[@apriljoy5754]

​@ninalimonn9494 this is the comment I was looking for😂😂

[@Boiledpumpkinsoup]

I've questioned her judgement before but this video really sealed it. I don't think I can ever trust her take on toxic misogynist men again.

[@dvolleyball199]

@@Boiledpumpkinsoupwhen else have you questioned her takes? Just wondering cause I usually agree with Kennie but this was definitely a heavy misjudgment😬

[@Overitall23]

Paper plates and Lost and found = Air Bnb. Izzy is a “hobo sexual “ who doesn’t really have a home.

[@terrycrews1760]

Air BNB as in he’s renting it out to others. Sounds like a business man to me.

[@emhu2594]

I imagine it's impossible to rent if you defaulted on rent or any kind of debt before.

[@gc6390]

Actually, him staying in an Airbnb makes sense. He kept saying he doesn’t have any debt, but his credit score is really low. If he lives in an Airbnb, then he’s not paying for most of the expenses that people build credit from.

[@persgodiva]

From what I saw behind the scene from Stacie and Izzy's fight, it seems she was trying to be super open about both of their finances because that's what you do when you're about to get married and he wouldn't disclose anything about his credit, savings etc. Like apparently he has super shitty credit but would not explain how or why.

[@jonasisnumba1]

12:33 Stacy wasn't trying to imply Izzy liked Chris romantically, when she said "well he (Chris) doesnt like you" in response to Izzy saying he cares about Chris and Johnnies relationship which is why he was involving himself, Stacy was trying to say Chris doesn't really seem to like you as a friend so why are you involving yourself in his relationship. She was also annoyed that Johnnie kept being brought up because she's Izzy's ex

[@eauxkei702]

Aayliyah and Taylor looked gorgeous at the reunion

[@Anitaaa-]

This definitely was more tedious because of them dragging out the content with only 2 couples!

[@persgodiva]

Wow Taylor looked absolutely STUNNING WHAT THE HELL

[@salamander8301]

Really? We're applauding izzy for crying? All she wants is for him to cook her dinner and come through with all the sweet gestures. So he starts crying... Nah

Wild theory: Uche got dumped by Lydia and has some sort of limerence

Since I found out you were also a 6ft black girl with adhd , I have not shut up about how much I love watching your videos, so the 5ft3 myth is wild to meee

The museum is the Museum of Natural Science in Houston. Go there every year for my birthday. Personally, I’m a bigger fan of the dinosaur section myself. If you’re ever in TX, I’d absolutely recommend it, there’s so much to see in just general admission.

[@toodleloos]

I just think its crazy how everyone has this vendetta against Lydia and it maintains through the end of the shoe 💀 like, even though people know Uche did her wrong, even though Milton is happy w her, she's just been demonized by people forever. It's weird to me lol

[@regularity2556]

It's weird to me also. Like Uche treated Aaliyah like dirt from the start, had nothing to do with Lydia, it's so odd to me the hatred people have for Lydia

[@emhu2594]

I don't like Lydia but she is not at the level of the Uches, JPs, Chris, etc. Those men are horrible. This show attracts all the worst men imaginable. Personally I think Aaliyah should have listened to Lydia about Uche. Can't believe she dated him for a month after the truth came out, and she blamed Lydia for ruining her experience when she could have just needed the warning and chosen another man.

[@mazvitaselemani]

I think Kendall is the only one under the sun who actually likes Izzy, that dude annoys me😂

[@janatomlin1296]

I don’t like Stacy, but I do think Stacy was valid with her wants. As a overthinker it makes sense to me to be worried when Izzy doesn't do the things he promises. It's not even a week into the relationship!! I know they’re supposed to be older, looking for love, and real connections so they shouldn’t be trying to impress each other too much. But if you’re already not doing the things you say, then in my mind there's gonna be a long line list of shit that you’re going to say, but won't do! To many women complain about that meanwhile Guys will say “Choose better.” Or “I've always been like this the whole time, so you're just unhappy with me.” Stuff like that, so I think the sooner you express your wants and needs the better. She definitely talked over him a lot!! Lmao And that's not okay and her attitude didn't give off concern. He was too broke for her and she wasn't trying. Plus Izzy is weirdly misogynistic and my opinion wishy washy, like how are you gonna say all these horrible things about Johnnie read her for filth! Just to make out with her…. I know it was year later and maybe I just don't get it but its just something I wouldn't do. On both side lol Johnnie makes me sad, like girl… your mother was right. Sit down for a while pls 😂😂

[@chickychickist]

i think he made out with johnnie a week after he and stacy called things off💀

[@maydaze5934]

Stacy was mean but Izzy seemed to have lied about a lot of things or intentionally kept things bc he knew if he married her he’d be set. Even when he tells her dad that now they can travel bc he really thought his reality fame would money roll his new life like previous contestants. He also only wanted the approval of the men on the show/ Chris. He never cared about a woman that he supposedly cared about at one point and attacked her on camera bc it made him feel big. Him drunk in every scene was also super concerning. He was always slurring. Stacy might’ve been terrible but Izzy is a flawed person as well.

[@Feliciatanktop]

hey kennie~ some major universities with a larger geology program can have a mineral museum if you're looking for a more local option (it'll be most likely not as glamorous as this one) or if that's not the case you can check for a nearby rock and mineral show. kinda like a seasonal expo but you can buy what you see ☺

[@hannab7214]

I don’t like Stacy but she had points woth both Izzy and Johnnie, even though i like Johnnie Aracy seems like a pwrson who sticks to her morals and principles. I do think she is aware her standards are too high to the common man so she plays the "cool girl". But I applaud her for always making her wants clear and not changing her standards. Ain’t no way I'm letting a crying man with no job, no house, no credit and no hair coerce me into marriage.

[@kenniesmusic]

there’s a type of therapy called dbt (dialectical behavioral therapy) which was originally made to help people with bpd but can also help really anyone with big emotions that are expressed in somewhat “explosive” ways (for lack of better term). it’s broken up in 4 sections: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. i think milton is, without knowing the terms or how to accurately express it, trying to get her to use these kinds of skills. imo, it comes across as harsh because he doesn’t always validate her emotions (validation is a key part to dbt) and because he’s so rational minded rather than wise/emotional minded. being emotional is like a campfire; it is a HUGE asset and can keep everyone warm and comfortable, but if you don’t know how to control it, it can hurt everyone (including yourself). i think lydia has potential to be a really good communicator and use her big emotions to better her relationships with herself and others. imo her issue is that she seems to think that yelling at people and having arguments (as in unhealthy disagreements) is required when you have big emotions and that to get rid of those traits is to get rid of emotions altogether. i’m not a therapist so take everything i say with a grain of salt, but a lot of my friends who have big emotions have gone though great efforts to learn how to express them appropriately. it’s possible, you just have to acknowledge that you need to do it.

[@JacobDengate]

Yeah, I have BPD and Lydia reminds me of me pre-DBT lol
