I hate when guys hype up how much they don't want to have sex with someone. Like, see I'm not a sex pig. But we know it's attraction. Yet women are attacked for same thing.
@@cohesivebeauty5829Really surprised you see no issues with Sam. Jasmine didn't need Beniah or the guys to tell her the issues Sam had. Shr was spot on and asked great questions. Most people know that shows do not show everything people say or do. Beniah and the rest of the guys got to know Sam better than the viewers will see. Sam was already an outcast among the group before the party. You can see how most of the guys while in the pods didn't take a liking to Sam. That's telling of his character because guys usually don't judge each other the way women do. Sam trying to embarrass Nicole and Sam in his separate conversations with them was gross and disrespectful to both of them. If he had class and respect for people he wouldn't have pulled them to the side to talk about that. He was into Jasmine and then all of sudden was all in on Nicole and not honest with her. He's not a genuine person from the actions he's displayed on the show. I agree it was surprising if it is true about Nicole wanting to sleep with Sam. She hasn't confirmed or denied all that went on. If she did, it doesn't change the disrespectful way Sam went about it. We also dont know how she emotionally feels after going at fast speed with Sam and how it ended, she may have wanted to take it slow with Beniah because she wqs confused by what went on with Sam. Sam could have kept that information between him and Nicole and certainly didn't need to tell Beniah. He was wrong in everyday about the situation.
Pretty sure that Ollie will say no at the altar. He didn’t introduce his family nor friends to Demi… he is clearly not physically attracted to Demi and passes the vibe of a man that give upmost importance to looks
I was shocked when they went back to London together. I was certain he was gonna wait for a reason to get out of the relationship (in this case, the pressure of the show and seeing other couples and whatever, I thought he would take that as his out), but when they actually started getting along and working things out…. I still don’t trust him and it’ll definitely be a no at the altar (Demi deserves better)
I think Ollie will say no also. I don't get a good vibe from him. I also don't think Tom and Maria will make it. Too many fundamental issues with money. He wants her to work and make money and she seems like she wants to stay home with future kids (at least for the first few years) and thinks he should pay for everything. Catherine and Freddie won't make it either in my opinion. She seems shady to me. I like Sabrina and Steven. I think they will say yes. I also think Jasmine and Bobby will make it as long as her overbearing mother minds her own business. She can take care of herself.
I read somewhere that Demi did meet Ollie's family but it was edited out. If that is true then that is Netflix playing games again, trying to create or enhance a situation. But regardless, I don't think Ollie will say yes. Demi is not "sublime" to him!!
Your thoughts= my thoughts😊...I would also love to do a deep dive on Catherine..she also displayed narcissistic tendencies throughout the show starting with how she felt she would be Ollie's type over Demi outside of the pods to how she treats Freddie outside of the pods and then plays victim and blames her rudeness on her adoption when he brings up valid concerns. Mam enoughhhh!
Well! You got the point on Jasmine! She caught him first, she said I feel you are giving me all the right answers.. and for multiple times, that was it for her! Really.. she knew his core.
Immediate sub, man. You're transparent and logical. Clocked every single thought I had while watching the show, and you have a refreshing and coherent take on it. Looking forward to more of your content!
I enjoy watching reality tv because it usually has personality disordered people-for better or worse. I don’t think Ollie is a narcissist however. He certainly has a lot of maturing and self awareness to gain. I think he has an avoidant attachment style and his ADHD doesn’t help because he wants to run away, not be vulnerable, and even gaslight others (and himself) whenever he feels pressured emotionally. Ollie’s motives are not self centered or are devoid of empathy like a narcissist such as Sam-who seems more of the overt kind. But if you ask me, the other, more covert narcissist seems to be Catherine. Catherine strikes me as someone who slowly starts making their partner feel insecure and become a shell of their former self by continually failing to make them happy. She never seems satisfied, openly disrespects Freddie with Sam of all people, feels the need to be right on matters that don’t matter for her ego’s sake, and punishes Freddie for being honest and vulnerable. She comes across as someone who emotionally abuses her partner in such subtle ways to avoid the fact that she is deeply insecure. Thankfully Freddie’s sister noticed Freddie’s change in demeanor and pointed out that she has been undermining Freddie’s confidence as a means to control him. Hopefully Freddie takes her advice to ask himself if she’s good enough for him.
Yes, but i also do not believe in the good interest of his sister. Dont forget about the prenup. Shes going to get everything what is kinda odd. So there is.something wrong too.
@@zc2731The sister liked Cat, but she said it's been a long time since she's seen her brother amd he seemed more reserved. That was because he likes to joke around and Cat kept complaining about it so he couldn't be himself. Freddie and his sister love their brother dearly. Freddie said if he were to pass away his sister would take care of his brother that's why he would leave his assets to her. He loves his family. His sister was excited about Cat, but when Freddie started expressing his concerns to her, that's when she got concerned. She wants him to be happy which is understandable
Thing is I don't know how Sam has any connection with women. There was no .. banter or flow? He can't hold a conversation at all! How did anyone even through the wall not see that?
You don’t touch on Ollie at the get together when people who didn’t get engaged meet everyone else. Ollie told his friends “no other woman could turn my head” then 2 seconds later a woman turned his head a he was being disrespectful saying “whooo omg sharlotte (or whatever her name is) is fiiiinnnee oh my god”
The background music during that scene was crazy, they made it seem like he revealed he has a month left to live or something lol. Don’t get me wrong, his feelings and struggles/insecurities are totally valid, but ADHD is quite common so I just feel like it was weird to have it be SO serious in that moment.
Especially being overwhelmed in the group setting. He was being dismissive as much as he was trying to manage his own emotions due to the over stimulation..
Lmao spot on about why we watch reality tv. I was just thinking yesterday about how sometimes I’ll feel like my life is a little boring and then I’ll watch reality tv or read Reddit and the mess makes me think “thank God my life is boring”
I don’t think the pod dates are boring. I love watching people pfall in love! I’m not keen on producer-manufactured drama by way of hopeful influencers. So I love this UK season!
I love Freddie, but I get Cat's complaint that he jokes too much. It's hard to have a deep relationship with someone like that. But I also think he kept joking to try and break the tension that she refused to address and communicate about. However, the house thing was ABSURD. The fact he doesn't get that really shows he's not ready for marriage.
@@noelleirina5628imo, why should she be entitled to any part of a house she didn’t contribute to? lol.. she didn‘t even know him when he bought the house..
@@hellooogirlss BECAUSE THEY ARE MARRIED. are you joking??? You expect her to live in that house for decades, raise her kids there, and then just get kicked out in case they divorce?? That's insane!
Initially I was upset with Nicole for ignoring the red flags Sam was sending, but now I feel bad for her and I hope she’s okay. She broke it off with him as soon as she realized he was not it. I like her and Benaiah together and hopefully they’re still married. If she’s watching the show now, she’s probably seeing all the hurtful things Sam was saying in the guys quarters that she wouldn’t know otherwise.
Yup. It was so clear. It wasn't Nicole's intentions to cut it off. She went along with everything until the signs could no longer be hidden. When Sam turned down her intimacy it solidified what she knew. Sam never liked her, he only wanted to be on the show. Nothing more, nothing less. Also Sam, "seeking" Nicole's approval, was damage control. He couldn't care less about Nicole...
I saw through Sam when he said I was not going to let this one pass me by. Like if he doesn’t get a connection there it’s going to be a mess to his personality. Then when he saw Nicole he said you can put on a wedge, to me telling someone that because of their height the first day of seeing them is disrespectful. No kisses or show of emotions.
Just stumbled across your channel. I train voices in UK & US and admire your presentation hugely. So entertaining & well observed. Thanks for covering our Brit version of Love is Blind, you have all our English ways nailed, and your British accent is impressive too! Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s such a positive inspiration for other presenters, stutterers or otherwise. X
This is the most spot on review that I've seen thus far. You've clocked Sam's alter ego, Nicole's insecurities, Beniah's need for a home, Catherine's desperation, Ollie's games, Maria's delusions, Tom's disinterest, & Demi's denial.... These are jokers at their full potential!
OMG yes! I've only watched 2 episodes and came looking for someone talking about him. When he was on a date with Jasmin-it was all about what she can do for him, then throwing the glass and being emotionally unstable...typical narc 😨Any girl should run from him!
You didn’t even need clips. Here for the commentary and the defense of women against these horrible men that Netflix keeps foisting upon us! Looking forward to more recaps 🙏🏿
@@dumfriesspearhead7398 Here she is talking about all the horrible men in the show but Catherine is the worst femenine representation of all. She holds red flags all over herself, trying to blame Freddy for the only reason she is on Netflix: fame
What a great idea to avoid stuttering. My aunt has one and it really impacted her life. Also what a beautiful man. You look like you should be on the cover of I-D magazine.
I can't even imagine how it would be if Nicole and Sam made it to the island and they saw the other people. In the end she trusted her gut but she had to see it to believe it. It would be the same as Ollie. Good for her Beniah didn't have another connection. All things Ollie were painful enough to watch. Reminds me of Too hot to handle whenever a new guest comes up and people change their minds. But yes, we need chemistry and physical atraction, in the end. Even if they had all the connection in the world and had seen each others photos for instance or a short video, when you meet in person... Sometimes there isn't a flame, or your gut just says something. Even if the person is attractive, you may not have chemistry...
There are some normal-ish people in this show.. i say ISH cause they still signed up for marrying someone in a couple of weeks and in front of the world.. but I think them being normal-ish is why there's more couples than the American version which were all crazy people in need of therapy.
Yeah, this cast definitely comes across a lot more level headed and well adjusted. I give it another season or two before it becomes a copy-paste of the recent US seasons. With accents 😂
@@stutter_box ah yes, definitely will be a full-trash TV show by next season. But it's a nice break from influencer wannabes (or obvious ones) for now. We really take what we can get ^^. Love your channel and commentary, it's top notch!
I LOVE how you don’t mince your words!! Also new subscriber! LOVED this video(!) now I need to watch the rest of your catalog! Saltburn!? Baby Reindeer!? Chappell Roan!? It Ends with Us!? I’m buckled in 😁
Aaaah your personality is just so enjoyable, I‘m so glad I found you through the MaxXxine video! Short side note: The way Sam frames him denying sex to protect (his) respect for Nicole sounds deeply misogynistic. Now, I haven’t watched the series. But it sounds here that a) he doesn’t take her consent seriously, because as a man, he knows better and b) something akin to the Madonna-Whore where HE can’t respect her, let alone as wifey material, if she‘s “putting out”. Good thing she got out as fast as she could, this “holier than thou”-image cultivating type is the WORST. Also genuinely not easy to spot straight away, don’t blame her
As someone who has watched the series, I think it was more about selling this gentleman persona. Keep in mind they were engaged at the time and presumably he thought it would stay that way and he'd have another opportunity. So to me it felt like he could hold onto saying no the first time so that he had a crutch in any argument about lacking respect in the future. I'm just speculating though
He's pretending to be attracted to Demi, but his actions says the opposite. He likes her understanding and empathy, but he's not attracted to her and I hope they don't marry. She deserves someone who actually cares for her, but she'll also need to develop a sense of self worth before embarking on another relationship.
Hey from Germany, i looove your humor and sarcasm, that makes my trash TV addiction even nicer. Will follow you and hope for more content like this. CU
Love your analysis! So spot on! Sams red flags have been driving me crazy, he just needs to start loving himself and not to expect the outside world to fill this big black hole inside of him. Watching him is like watching a 5 year old in the body of a grown man. He is evolving around himself, a walking unconscious ego. Thank you for adressing all the awkward moments! Really laughed about your suggestion, the producers should step in and say: you know what? Let’s better get not married 😂
I like Ollie. It's typical for ADHD'ers to overshare. I simply think he shares his healthy doubt out loud where a filter would have been smarter since it's tv.
I actually want to watch this but I'm a VH1/51 Minds veteran used to the Of Love series, Tool Academy (& Tool Academy UK) & Megan Wants a Millionaire. The UK shows are always so much more wild. There was also that UK show a couple years ago where the cast offs get dropped through a trap door in the stage...just glorious.
I'm so surprised you didn't pick up on Catherine being a female Narcissist. She showed all the signs: love bombing in the pods, devaluing Freddie the whole time on vacation. She took the smile right off his face. She's so similar to Sam. They both had a sob story that would get immediate sympathy for them and their toxic behaviors. No other couples did this except those 2. I guess it's more difficult to detect narcissism in women. Or maybe some men just call it being bi*chy.
Yeah I definitely didn’t read it as that initially. She spoke a lot about her adoption and feeling unwanted/rejected, so I was reading her more as incredibly insecure and looking for validation rather than narcissism (even her nagging Freddie or snapping, I saw that as her own frustrations projecting, rather than him being annoying). I’d say women are definitely better at hiding it, or maybe men are simply too obvious about it
It turned out It was Nicole who ended it and Sam wasn't pleased about it, hence the story regarding him not being physical the first night. Apparently it didn't happen. Sam had to admit this at the reunion
I will never understand why people think Sam is attractive. But I agree that he's a CLEAR red flag. Just going through the motions...saying what he thinks they want to hear. It's so obvious.
Great, great analysis! I am not the type that comments but exactly what I thought! The only thing I disagree is about Sam, I don't think he is good-looking, I do think Freddie is “ perfect “ 🤷🏽♀️☺️, yes Sam is absolutely a narcissistic boy!😉
Sam didn’t put the ring on the wrong finger- she did. He didn’t even think to put the ring on her finger! She took it out of the box and then put it on herself. 😑Throw the whole thing away!
I don't think it's hard to see why someone would want to date someone "sight unseen". People want to be in relationships and the people that they attract aren't the best. So why not try love is blind?
I did it a couple months ago and it got taken down by copyright! 😭 but I’m planning on covering the remake and the original together once the new is out, so it’s definitely coming!
I'm pleased you called Olli out. Whenever a man refrains from having sex with a woman in this kind of show, it never works out. I think that Olli has also weaponised his ADHD. If he was with Cat or Sharlotte then it wouldn't be mentioned or he'd keep tabs on it. It seems that Demi is doing all of the emotional labour in this relationship; there's little or no reciprocation here. Olli doesn't love Demi; he loves what she DOES for him. I hope they don't get married; I can just see him making eyes at the bridesmaids at the wedding.
Demi feels it. I think what is happening is that his words may not match his actions, which leaves her feeling confused and insecure. She seems unhappy with him but blames herself. I feel sorry for her, and I don't think they're a good match.
You know, I think you’re right. I keep going back and forth with Tom and Maria, but the editing is also not helping, Netflix is deliberately sending mixed signals to gaslight us 😭
@@karenvermeulen3981 Definitively. Tom was a solid adult who decided to anyway experiencing the moment while knowing his finantial and "social" deal-breakers were BOTH knocking at his door since the pods' stage. Maria instead, who was younger and less experienced, truly believed he was going to find a way to solve them. Sad, but that's life.
Sam is narcissistic but very weak narcissist. The dangerous narcissists are very sneaky and smooth in love bombing, taking control and making a good impression. Like Trevor in LIB US latest season (not diagnosing him, just saying his game was strong). They are so skillful in pretending to be sweet and kind and genuine that when their mask comes off, you feel stupid for not having a clue all along .
Agree, Sam is so obvious. Most people can see right through him. Trevor still blows my mind. It's scary how convincing he was. I fell for it: hook, line, and sinker. Men like Trevor are truly dangerous because you don't know who you're dealing with until it's too late.
I really enjoy listening to your videos while drawing. In a previous video, you mentioned Dear Evan Hansen and asked if folks would be interested in hearing you talk about it. I wanted to say, absolutely. I discovered the musical through news of the movie adaptation, and when I first found out what the plot premise was, my reaction was, "Is this a gender-flipped version of While You Were Sleeping?!" It's not a 1:1 same plot, but there's some lines you can draw between the two stories.
I definitely have that in the pipeline, along so many others. Too many choices is a prison! That’s a great point actually, I’ll definitely rewatch while you were sleeping (Sandra Bullock is my favourite actress of all time) to see what the parallels are. Also, love that you draw while listening, I’ve always wanted people to just have my videos as background company, I’m glad you’re on board! 🤗
When you listen real carefully Sam said I had two strong connections one dumped me now I just go to Nicole she was really a option standby baby run girl run ..
People are saying Sam is good looking. I'm sorry; I don't see it. Benaiah (sp?) is so much hotter.
agreed. and Sam’s loud insecurities make him even more unattractive.
Respectfully disagree. Sam is more attractive but Ben seems like a better person.
@@dn8015Ben’s face is better, Sam looks like phinneas on a tall muscular body
@@katybee3891 😭😭😭
Sam is not my cup of tea either. And that’s if he wasn’t horrible. His personality makes him so much worse.
So recently people have found some unsavory stuff about Sam including his Islamophobia and ant-Palestine rhetoric. Glad people saw through his act.
During Sam's conversation with Benaiah, Sam looked at the camera about three times. It was hysterical. I was laughing at that clown.

What a great idea to avoid stuttering. My aunt has one and it really impacted her life. Also what a beautiful man. You look like you should be on the cover of I-D magazine.
I love your channel you have a fresh nice perspective on love is blind
I can't even imagine how it would be if Nicole and Sam made it to the island and they saw the other people. In the end she trusted her gut but she had to see it to believe it. It would be the same as Ollie. Good for her Beniah didn't have another connection. All things Ollie were painful enough to watch. Reminds me of Too hot to handle whenever a new guest comes up and people change their minds. But yes, we need chemistry and physical atraction, in the end. Even if they had all the connection in the world and had seen each others photos for instance or a short video, when you meet in person... Sometimes there isn't a flame, or your gut just says something. Even if the person is attractive, you may not have chemistry...
There are some normal-ish people in this show.. i say ISH cause they still signed up for marrying someone in a couple of weeks and in front of the world.. but I think them being normal-ish is why there's more couples than the American version which were all crazy people in need of therapy.
Yeah, this cast definitely comes across a lot more level headed and well adjusted. I give it another season or two before it becomes a copy-paste of the recent US seasons. With accents 😂
@@stutter_box ah yes, definitely will be a full-trash TV show by next season. But it's a nice break from influencer wannabes (or obvious ones) for now. We really take what we can get ^^.
Love your channel and commentary, it's top notch!
your 3 legged dog being named skip, plsssss 😭😭😭
That anti g3nocid3 comment, slay!!!!!!!
I LOVE how you don’t mince your words!!
Also new subscriber! LOVED this video(!) now I need to watch the rest of your catalog! Saltburn!? Baby Reindeer!? Chappell Roan!? It Ends with Us!? I’m buckled in 😁
Welcome!! 🤗
I disagree that the participants are incredibly desperate. It could also be that a few of them are very intentional about dating.
New subscriber! Loved your commentary and perspectives!
Glad I found your channel! Please do Love is Blind Mexico. There are some interesting characters on there!
It's wild. There's a complete lack of duty of care towards the participants.
Aaaah your personality is just so enjoyable, I‘m so glad I found you through the MaxXxine video! Short side note: The way Sam frames him denying sex to protect (his) respect for Nicole sounds deeply misogynistic. Now, I haven’t watched the series. But it sounds here that a) he doesn’t take her consent seriously, because as a man, he knows better and b) something akin to the Madonna-Whore where HE can’t respect her, let alone as wifey material, if she‘s “putting out”. Good thing she got out as fast as she could, this “holier than thou”-image cultivating type is the WORST. Also genuinely not easy to spot straight away, don’t blame her
As someone who has watched the series, I think it was more about selling this gentleman persona. Keep in mind they were engaged at the time and presumably he thought it would stay that way and he'd have another opportunity. So to me it felt like he could hold onto saying no the first time so that he had a crutch in any argument about lacking respect in the future. I'm just speculating though
Why comment when you haven't seen the show? Comment just to comment?
New suscriber from Argentina here! Absolutely loved your video! Plus you are very easy on the eye ❤
3.10 to 3.20 is my life LITERALLY
Perfect analysis. Ollie is really a gaslighter
I disagree..
He's pretending to be attracted to Demi, but his actions says the opposite.
He likes her understanding and empathy, but he's not attracted to her and I hope they don't marry.
She deserves someone who actually cares for her, but she'll also need to develop a sense of self worth before embarking on another relationship.
Lmao fr Sam like who are THEY and what do THEY think 😂😂😂😂😂
Hey from Germany, i looove your humor and sarcasm, that makes my trash TV addiction even nicer. Will follow you and hope for more content like this. CU
Love your analysis! So spot on! Sams red flags have been driving me crazy, he just needs to start loving himself and not to expect the outside world to fill this big black hole inside of him. Watching him is like watching a 5 year old in the body of a grown man. He is evolving around himself, a walking unconscious ego. Thank you for adressing all the awkward moments! Really laughed about your suggestion, the producers should step in and say: you know what? Let’s better get not married 😂
I like Ollie. It's typical for ADHD'ers to overshare. I simply think he shares his healthy doubt out loud where a filter would have been smarter since it's tv.
Your commentary is absolutely hilarious. Witty and insightful too. I’ll be back for more. ❤ ❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
Your channel was in my feed as a new subscriber.
I actually want to watch this but I'm a VH1/51 Minds veteran used to the Of Love series, Tool Academy (& Tool Academy UK) & Megan Wants a Millionaire. The UK shows are always so much more wild. There was also that UK show a couple years ago where the cast offs get dropped through a trap door in the stage...just glorious.
3:28 THE BEST PART OF THE VIDEO!!! 😍😍😍😍
I'm so surprised you didn't pick up on Catherine being a female Narcissist. She showed all the signs: love bombing in the pods, devaluing Freddie the whole time on vacation. She took the smile right off his face. She's so similar to Sam. They both had a sob story that would get immediate sympathy for them and their toxic behaviors. No other couples did this except those 2. I guess it's more difficult to detect narcissism in women. Or maybe some men just call it being bi*chy.
Yeah I definitely didn’t read it as that initially. She spoke a lot about her adoption and feeling unwanted/rejected, so I was reading her more as incredibly insecure and looking for validation rather than narcissism (even her nagging Freddie or snapping, I saw that as her own frustrations projecting, rather than him being annoying). I’d say women are definitely better at hiding it, or maybe men are simply too obvious about it
Love from Dallas! ❤
🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Sam gives massive Nathan Barley energy, and actually looks quite a bit like the actor that played him
This is the best of the TH-cam things on this show. You are engaging and perceptive
Subscribed loved this commentary 😂
You are saying everything I've been thinking about this show. Loved your analysis🥂
Thank you for watching it for us😅. Enjoyed the review. My sister also enjoyed your video.
This was very entertaining, thanks for that! 😊
It turned out It was Nicole who ended it and Sam wasn't pleased about it, hence the story regarding him not being physical the first night. Apparently it didn't happen. Sam had to admit this at the reunion
Yup, a video on the reunion is coming tomorrow 😅
I will never understand why people think Sam is attractive. But I agree that he's a CLEAR red flag. Just going through the motions...saying what he thinks they want to hear. It's so obvious.
Awesome video love your energy :) Just subscribed
Great, great analysis! I am not the type that comments but exactly what I thought! The only thing I disagree is about Sam, I don't think he is good-looking, I do think Freddie is “ perfect “ 🤷🏽♀️☺️, yes Sam is absolutely a narcissistic boy!😉
I need those dru6s, Skip!! 😂❤
Sam didn’t put the ring on the wrong finger- she did. He didn’t even think to put the ring on her finger! She took it out of the box and then put it on herself. 😑Throw the whole thing away!
😂😂😂😂
Skip’s appearance at the end made my day
Sam was the best character in the show, he injected the drama and complexity that the audience needed.
Hi from Saskatoon, Canada! 🇨🇦 Good stuff, friend.
I don't think it's hard to see why someone would want to date someone "sight unseen". People want to be in relationships and the people that they attract aren't the best. So why not try love is blind?
Exactly. The first person to do this in real life without cameras will make a killing
@@stoppit9How would t work? And how would they make a killing?
@@dumfriesspearhead7398 do I look like a producer to you?
@@stoppit9 I don't know what the hell you look like, just asked you to expand on your comment, which you're clearly incapable of doing.
Perfect commentary. Loved this video so much ❤
Wait I just found you and I love your channel ! Plz keep reviewing LIB lol
Your mind amazes me.
Your face and smile too.
You are amazing! Subscribed!❤
ERIC pls pls pls can u review .Speak no Evil .The Dutch version 2022. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I did it a couple months ago and it got taken down by copyright! 😭 but I’m planning on covering the remake and the original together once the new is out, so it’s definitely coming!
@@stutter_box 😱 spoiler alert 🚨 i’ll bet the american’s ruin it! i’ve already seen the thumper of a trashhfire trailer
@@stutter_box oh thank god
can u tell me u if u caught a homo-erotic attraction between the male characters?? is that why bjorn is so blind ??
16:27 you can literally see the blow to her gut that she felt inside
I'm pleased you called Olli out. Whenever a man refrains from having sex with a woman in this kind of show, it never works out.
I think that Olli has also weaponised his ADHD. If he was with Cat or Sharlotte then it wouldn't be mentioned or he'd keep tabs on it.
It seems that Demi is doing all of the emotional labour in this relationship; there's little or no reciprocation here.
Olli doesn't love Demi; he loves what she DOES for him. I hope they don't get married; I can just see him making eyes at the bridesmaids at the wedding.
🙄
Demi feels it. I think what is happening is that his words may not match his actions, which leaves her feeling confused and insecure. She seems unhappy with him but blames herself. I feel sorry for her, and I don't think they're a good match.
@@karenvermeulen3981"She seems unhappy with him, but blames herself" 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Love your commentary but who washes their bracelets? I missed out on that my whole life 😅
I wouldn’t 😂 it’s more the gifting a bracelet and first thing he says is “it probably stinks” 😷
@@stutter_box OK I missed that part lol
I think you were referring to the Netflix pipeline to Perfect Match. Are you the One used to air on MTV.
That’s it! They kind of merge together after a while 😅
Man you really pull off a Buzz cut! Just had to say haha
The Ultimatum: Queer Love Netflix Are You the One? Come One, Come All ! Queer season s season 8 of MTV's reality dating series I LOVED both of these
Like your voice great video! Meat man😂
Sam has been giving David Brent from episode 1!
Olie and Demi share the purest vibe... hope that they end up together at least
Sam: pretty face? 😂😂😂
Omg! I’m so excited that you live in the UK.
Please watch and review the Madonna/Guy Richie movie Swept Away. I believe it’s unwatchable.
Enjoyed your video. Only thing: I think you’re not looking well at Tom. He’s gonna say “No”.
You know, I think you’re right. I keep going back and forth with Tom and Maria, but the editing is also not helping, Netflix is deliberately sending mixed signals to gaslight us 😭
@@stutter_box 🤣🤣🤣
I also think so. The cultural difference is going to be too much for him, and you can see he is worried about it.
@@karenvermeulen3981 Definitively. Tom was a solid adult who decided to anyway experiencing the moment while knowing his finantial and "social" deal-breakers were BOTH knocking at his door since the pods' stage. Maria instead, who was younger and less experienced, truly believed he was going to find a way to solve them. Sad, but that's life.
Thank you for mentioning the genocide ❤
This is the best review ever
Sam is narcissistic but very weak narcissist. The dangerous narcissists are very sneaky and smooth in love bombing, taking control and making a good impression. Like Trevor in LIB US latest season (not diagnosing him, just saying his game was strong). They are so skillful in pretending to be sweet and kind and genuine that when their mask comes off, you feel stupid for not having a clue all along .
Agree, Sam is so obvious. Most people can see right through him. Trevor still blows my mind. It's scary how convincing he was. I fell for it: hook, line, and sinker. Men like Trevor are truly dangerous because you don't know who you're dealing with until it's too late.
I really enjoy listening to your videos while drawing. In a previous video, you mentioned Dear Evan Hansen and asked if folks would be interested in hearing you talk about it. I wanted to say, absolutely. I discovered the musical through news of the movie adaptation, and when I first found out what the plot premise was, my reaction was, "Is this a gender-flipped version of While You Were Sleeping?!" It's not a 1:1 same plot, but there's some lines you can draw between the two stories.
I definitely have that in the pipeline, along so many others. Too many choices is a prison!
That’s a great point actually, I’ll definitely rewatch while you were sleeping (Sandra Bullock is my favourite actress of all time) to see what the parallels are.
Also, love that you draw while listening, I’ve always wanted people to just have my videos as background company, I’m glad you’re on board! 🤗
Have you tried the Lidcombe (smooth talking) program, Eric?

Hey, new sub here, first time viewing your content. I really enjoyed your commentary, you are very astute! 💕
Can we please have more regular puppy appearances?? 🥹🙏
Look up DARVO - that’s what Sam is doing.
When you listen real carefully Sam said I had two strong connections one dumped me now I just go to Nicole she was really a option standby baby run girl run ..
