Jess explains why she and Jimmy are not on good terms
Love Is Blind When asked about her current relationship with Jimmy, Jess describes why their friendship fizzled.
Love Is Blind She says that the two left on “great terms” after the lake party. While watching the show, she noticed Jimmy getting backlash for breaking up with her in the pods. So, she sent him a message after seeing fans dragging him. She says she told Chelsea about the message ahead of time.
After reaching out, she says she saw an interview and felt “infuriated” by Jimmy’s comments.
“It seemed like you took the first opportunity you had to just make an attempt at throwing me under the bus,” she tells him.
She says he implied, in the interview, that she “hammered him” to make a decision and that she “stormed out” one of their dates.
Jimmy says he was simply sharing why he didn’t choose her over Chelsea.
They then discuss Jess’s letter to him in the pods.
She explains she was just looking for him to explain his feelings in that moment. She also brings up that Jimmy mentioned her “edit” in the aforementioned interview, suggesting that the show painted her in a better light as she tears up.
She ask for receipts to confirm that Jimmy’s recollection of one of their dates was not as he portrayed it in an interview. The footage shows they were talking for over an hour, not 10 minutes as Jimmy claimed, before they mutually decided to take a break.
Their total conversation was 2 hours and 13 minutes.
Jimmy’s secret about his friend came out. What his friend thought
While they were dating, Jimmy revealed to Chelsea that he had previously slept with one of his two friends that she met over drinks in an earlier episode. Jimmy says he “hated” that this story came out during filming, but addresses it again at the reunion.
Love Is Blind Meant to be a secret shared between members of a couple, Chelsea revealed the news on camera. As a result, Jimmy says, one of his close female friends is “really pissed” at him — and he understands why.
“I can take it. They didn’t deserve it,” he says.
Jimmy explains why he brought his girl friends on a show, rather than guy friends.
“She was there as a friend. Someone who loved me. Someone who supported me. When I’m talking to guys, I’m not getting emotional with the fellas. The girls will let me lay into them with where I’m feeling,” he says.
Chelsea says she forgot the cameras were there and was “really sorry” for bringing it up during the heat of an argument.
Clay and Brett have an emotional heart-to-heart
Throughout Season Six, Clay openly struggled with how his childhood affected his outlook on marriage, and transitioning from his “rock star life” as an athlete to “life with one person.”
Love Is Blind Clay claims he hadn’t seen “Love Is Blind” before signing up for the show. He then says, at the reunion, that watching Brett Brown from “Love Is Blind” Season Four was a wakeup call. “I felt like he did everything. He said all the right things. He personified … a good husband. I just looked at him and thought, ‘I don’t know if who I am could do all that,'” he says, but goes on to note that he wants to give himself grace.
Brett, looking on, says he was “getting emotional,” and that the experiment was challenging for him, too. He married his wife, Tiffany Brown, on the show in the Season Four finale.
“I didn’t come from the perfect household either … I had a lot of doubts about, ‘Am I going to know how to be a good husband?” he says. Tiffany adds that he was “doing great.”
“It’s humbling to hear that, especially Black man to Black man,” Brett tells Clay.
Chelsea reacts to Jess and Laura’s convo about Jimmy
Chelsea says it was “odd” and “a little bit disrespectful” to watch Jess and Laura discuss her possibly pursuing a relationship with Jimmy during the cast get-together.
At that point, Jess and Jimmy hadn’t had the chance to meet face-to-face, despite having dated in the pods.
Love Is Blind Chelsea recalls being “hurt” watching the conversation. She reveals that it heightened her insecurities, which were apparent to the audience throughout the show.
Jess replies, “I didn’t have any malicious intent, but he was completely absent-minded. That’s my best friend. This is totally disrespectful. I don’t expect any grace for that. That was not my best moment.”
Laura gives her side of the story: Why she’s ‘coming in so hot’
At the reunion, Jeramey and Sarah Ann maintain they only talked on the evening they met up, which led to the end of Jeramey’s engagement to Laura.
Laura expresses her doubts. “At no point was I thinking, ‘I’m not getting married,'” she says.
“To go from spending all day with my family to disrespecting me and going out with another woman until 6 am that same night … he said he spent all day with my family. Kissed me goodbye. Went to the bar. Met Sarah Ann … and the conversation was so good he decided to end his relationship then and there,” she says.
“I was hoping and praying for you guys to come in here with some humility and an apology to realize this is my real life. I understand you are together now … that was made a mockery by the two of you and then you come in with heat toward me like I did something,” she says.
The “Love Is Blind” reunion special offered viewers a chance to reconnect with their favorite couples, witness heartfelt reunions, and delve into the complexities of modern relationships.
