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

In relation to love, Vanessa Lachey and her husband, Nick Lachey, know a factor or two. In any case, they’ve been internet hosting Netflix’s widespread actuality relationship 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. Nevertheless, 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 greatest of the season.

The Netflix actuality present makes an attempt to check the premise of whether or not love is actually blind by having singles meet in “pods” and talk by means of a wall. Utilizing solely the energy of their emotional connection, they need 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 rather 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 will discover “the one” by means of their character, and never their bodily look.

Nevertheless, that won’t have been the case for Daniel and Taylor, as Taylor thinks Daniel may need recognized what she appeared 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 appeared like clean crusing between Taylor and Daniel, their first assembly – after their engagement reveal – appeared to set off purple flags for Taylor, who thought he appeared acquainted to her.

Within the closing 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, comparable to her favourite quick meals, the significance of her religion, and different small particulars, that will have made it simpler for Daniel to make use of to his benefit when making an attempt to persuade her that he was “the one.”

And, to make issues worse, it signifies that he did know what she appeared like behind the wall, basically compromising the complete level of the present.

Though the Lacheys normally wait till the reunion particular to weigh in on probably the most dramatic moments of the season, the “NCIS” actress informed Us Weekly that she and her husband truly had differing opinions as to how dangerous it could 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 at all times 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 assume it’s that large of a deal,’” she stated, noting that this season “actually highlighted how social media does influence a relationship.”

“If someone is following you and does know lots about you, is that truthful?” 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 at the back of her head, and I’m actually pleased with her for talking up on it.”

“Nick, once more, was like, ‘I don’t assume that it was that large 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 situation play out earlier than. That’s what retains it thrilling for us.”

It’s unattainable to guarantee 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 number of the previous seasons. For example, two contestants came upon within the pods that they’d truly attended the identical highschool – fortunately, it was just a few years aside.

It’s undoubtedly a serious concern for Taylor that Daniel knew what she appeared like earlier than she was on the present as a result of, for her, that will compromise the complete experiment. The present had an analogous scenario in a previous season when one lady truly bumped into her ex and began giving his new love curiosity unsolicited tips about his hobbies and pursuits. She in the end felt like she could not pursue the experiment absolutely with this data and determined to go away.

Though followers should 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 further 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 wager 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 a component in whether or not or not they select to say “I do” on the altar.

A minimum of it is enjoyable to look at.
