Vanessa Lachey Is Right About ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8’s Biggest Controversy

In terms of love, Vanessa Lachey and her husband, Nick Lachey, know a factor or two. In any case, they’ve been internet hosting Netflix’s in style actuality courting present, “Love Is Blind,” for a whopping eight seasons.

With the present renewed for at the least two extra seasons, it’s clear that followers can’t get sufficient of the drama. Nonetheless, it’s fairly uncommon for the Lacheys to weigh in on an issue mid-season. That’s what makes the controversy between contestants Daniel Hasting and Taylor Haag one of many largest of the season.

The Netflix actuality present makes an attempt to check the premise of whether or not love is really blind by having singles meet in “pods” and talk via a wall. Utilizing solely the energy of their emotional connection, they have to get engaged earlier than the bodily reveal. The present then follows the chosen {couples} on a honeymoon retreat and the method of their wedding ceremony planning, together with whether or not they tie the knot or stroll away on the altar.

Contestants have appeared far more comfy backing out of the present earlier than they even get to the marriage venue in later seasons, however the present’s premise has resulted in a number of marriages and even just a few “Love Is Blind” infants. Many singles from cities across the U.S. have utilized to be on the present, hoping that they’ll discover “the one” via their persona, and never their bodily look.

Nonetheless, that will not have been the case for Daniel and Taylor, as Taylor thinks Daniel might need recognized what she seemed like forward of their engagement.

Netflix dropped the primary few episodes of season 8 on Valentine’s Day, giving followers an opportunity to fulfill the entire engaged {couples} earlier than they head out on their honeymoon retreat. Though issues seemed like easy crusing between Taylor and Daniel, their first assembly – after their engagement reveal – appeared to set off pink flags for Taylor, who thought he seemed acquainted to her.

Within the remaining moments of the final episode, she accused her new fiancé of following her on Instagram earlier than assembly on the present. She had a number of issues listed on her profile, akin to her favourite quick meals, the significance of her religion, and different small particulars, which will have made it simpler for Daniel to make use of to his benefit when attempting to persuade her that he was “the one.”

And, to make issues worse, it implies that he did know what she seemed like behind the wall, basically compromising all the level of the present.

Though the Lacheys often wait till the reunion particular to weigh in on probably the most dramatic moments of the season, the “NCIS” actress advised Us Weekly that she and her husband really had differing opinions as to how dangerous it might be if Daniel actually had adopted Taylor on Instagram previous to assembly her on the present.

“It’s humorous as a result of that was a type of moments — we all the time are inclined to agree, however then once we do disagree, we comply with disagree. And I used to be like, ‘I perceive what she’s saying.’ And [Nick’s] like, ‘I don’t suppose it’s that massive of a deal,’” she stated, noting that this season “actually highlighted how social media does influence a relationship.”

“If any person is following you and does know rather a lot about you, is that honest?” she requested. “And it didn’t give you a chance to really get to know them for who they’re as a result of that’s private. That’s the reason it’s Instagram and it’s posted. She had this little voice behind her head, and I’m actually happy with her for talking up on it.”

“Nick, once more, was like, ‘I don’t suppose that it was that massive of a deal,’ however I understood why it was an enormous deal to her,” Vanessa continued, including, “We’ve by no means seen that specific state of affairs play out earlier than. That’s what retains it thrilling for us.”

It’s unimaginable to be sure that the entire contestants don’t know one another previous to being forged on the present, though this season does appear to be a bit of bit extra native than a few of the previous seasons. As an illustration, two contestants discovered within the pods that that they had really attended the identical highschool – fortunately, it was just a few years aside.

It’s undoubtedly a significant concern for Taylor that Daniel knew what she seemed like earlier than she was on the present as a result of, for her, that might compromise all the experiment. The present had the same state of affairs in a previous season when one girl really bumped into her ex and began giving his new love curiosity unsolicited recommendations on his hobbies and pursuits. She finally felt like she could not pursue the experiment totally with this information and determined to go away.

Though followers must wait till Friday to seek out out whether or not or not Daniel did comply with her on Instagram, it does beg the query if she ought to drop out of the present. To that, Kristin says no. It’s undoubtedly doable that he didn’t comply with her on Instagram and the present is simply utilizing this to fire up extra drama. However, even when he did, it’s doable that he doesn’t keep in mind including her. Positive, her bio says that she loves Taco Bell and Christmas, however I can guess Vanessa Lachey does too. These particulars aren’t deep they usually undoubtedly aren’t sufficient to construct a relationship over.

Taylor and Daniel constructed an emotional bond within the pods that should not be shaken by a doable comply with on social media. The one different is that she discovered him unattractive and is simply on the lookout for any excuse to finish the engagement rapidly. In that case, the one controversy is why this experiment nonetheless exists, when contestants have stated time and time once more that bodily attractiveness does play an element in whether or not or not they select to say “I do” on the altar.

At the very least it is enjoyable to observe.
