Emma, why didn’t you grill Cat on the *horrible way she treated Freddie?* She belittled him, criticised him, mocked him and undermined him. You should have held her accountable for her terrible behaviour. Just the shopping scene alone was worth a review.
Came here to type this... Not to be rude it feels like shes milking her adoption story too much,it has nothing to do with how badly she was treating Freddie
Hopefully, they got together. To take them out of the dating pool😂😂😂. They would suit each other perfectly. She apparently still wants the EX that he looks like ( she only brought him up 70 times😂) and Sam just wants ANYONE (but Nicole) who wants him. Perfect
Cat was awful. Emma moved the podcast hosts along pretty quickly to not criticize Cat's terrible behavior. Get therapy, Cat. Stop blaming your adoption on your negativity.
The fact she has really sweet parents and she goes about ranting about the people that left her. Why bother about people who didn't want you? I swear she needs to forget those people and appreciate the people in front of her. Her sweet parents
@@azpersonal Exactly! Especially since she was adopted at 11 months old. Like, girl move on. Get some therapy for your extreme insecurities and anger issues. Because the way she randomly snapped on Freddie at any given moment was grueling to watch. I’m so glad he chose to protect his peace. Smart young man.

@@shortyp1000 Funny part is Freddie didn’t even know about how she spoke to Sam but he followed his gut. I don’t think she’s that bad tbh I just think insecure people do things to feel good about themselves specially when they’re dating someone as good looking as he is.
Could we please have Tolani and Audrey at the reunion too?! I absolutely loved their point of view and thank you Emma for grilling Sam, I am really looking forward to the reunion!
Both Sam and Cat have a lot of childhood insecurities that they haven't healed from. They say they're talking about it, but they've weaponized it against their partners. They need therapy, not a partner.
That's almost 3 months without attachment to a mother. Those first weeks and months are absolutely vital for babys to build secure attachment, it literally forms the way our brains develop. It's only recently that all the research shows how important that time is for babys development. It can leave the person with massive insecure attachments later in life. The feelings of rejection can hit very hard. A baby being without their mother or an attachment figure is traumatising
It seems The problem with Sam is he perceives things by strategic manipulation. He doesn’t give off sincerity. VERY rehearsed, and slightly narcissistic in approach, processing and communication. The trauma from his image requires healing. Passionate, but emotionally stuck at 14
@@fabulicioustee9244I don’t care what anyone says but I’m not buying that whole ‘traumatic adoption storyline’ cat to me is like some rich people who grow up with a sliver soon but wanna relate so bad to people struggling so they have to invent some sort of hardship or trauma to cling to so when people who’ve actually been through hell and back say ‘I’ve been through a lot’ they can also claim the same. Dunno if my explanation makes any sense but yeah that’s Catherine to me in a nutshell 😂
Sam clarifying when he said “I think I love you” meant “I think I’m falling in love with you” thinking we would all be like ohhhhh okay! NO- even if that’s what you meant, why propose to someone you’re not even sure you’re in love with?? Wild 😂😂
I mean why would Tom propose to Maria when he doesn't know anything about her culture? And before you say he loved her, how can you love someone and not know about their culture?
I'm trying to be empathetic to her own adoptive journey but I can't lie it sometimes feels a tad like she uses that as an excuse for her toxic behavior. I'm adopted & never even thought of using my adoption and feelings around that as a way to justify hurting my partner. It definitely can be an explanation but I feel there's a little bit of accountability missing on Cat's end. She should really consider doing therapy for adoptees if she hasn't already. The way she speaks of her adoption reminds me of myself like 20 years ago & I'm the same age as Cat. I would advise her to use her adoption story as a way to propel her forward instead of as a fall back to justify her repeated toxic behavior 🤷🏻♀️
I’m also adopted and I found it absolutely infuriating how she used it as an excuse to be awful and constantly making out it’s a horrible thing. It’s not a horrible thing, it’s a blessing. Her parents were so so lovely. Imagine how they must feel her always going on about how terrible it is and never how lucky she is. She’s vile.
My partner and I are both adopted, and we felt the same way! I am also a transracial adoptee (I'm Asian; my parents are Caucasian). I'm not diminishing her experience with adoption and how it's affected her. But I do agree with you, there needs to be not only acknowledgement, but also accountability... to take action, and go to therapy. If I'm easily irritated with my partner (without reason), it's my responsibility to figure out why, what's triggering it, and to work on fixing it.
@@tennisqtleah yes exactly!!! & same! I'm adopted from South Korea to Irish parents 😂 When Cat said that she used to be bullied for being adopted all I could think of was that she most likely had to tell her peers of her adoption for them to know. Unlike us, it's pretty obvious for anyone with eyesight 😂 not to mention I've literally been denied from a club before because the bouncer thought my id was fake because of my Irish name
@@Libby-j6d yes 🙌🏼 I did totally feel the same way about her mentality around her adoption being very negative and almost even victimizing herself. Her adoptive parents seemed SOOO loving and attentive so it was a little hard to watch her portray her adoption as such a negative event in her life. She probably has other feelings around it, but I look at our birth mothers as "giving us up" because of the immense amount of love they had for us and the desire for us to experience a better life than they were capable of providing at that time. It's just difficult for me to resonate with such a victim/loss mentality around adoption. I feel like it's been the biggest blessing in my life to have the love of my adoptive (real) parents 💜
I wish there was more content on Nicole and Beniah. Their journey was amazing. They truly are perfect for each other. I hate that Sam was the road bump in their love story.
The thing abt Cat is if Freddie being a cheater is such a big trigger for her than why didn't she just ask him in the pods abt it like Uche did. And if she decided that she just couldn't be with someone who had cheated before she shouldn have just broken up with Freddie and not hold it against him especially since it has been 7 years and he didn't even cheat on her like common
I think she's cheated before, that's why she's projecting and has a lot of insecurities which she poured onto him. She had a perfect person in front of her even though he cheated before, but she kept looking for Ollie and Sam.
@@DanieB322 disagree, he bullied Benaiah by trying to intimidate and demean him. And bringing up that he turned down Nicole's alleged sexual advances to Benaiah and the cameras is absolutely bully behaviour, just a different kind
Tom didn't have some great connection to Maria in the pods. He said the only reason he didn't choose Tash was that he didn't feel a sexual vibe from her. He was flirting with Maria and felt she was easy and therefore was ready to ignore the difference of values that Maria clearly expressed in the pods. He wanted a paid vacation and to sleep with her because he knew he could bring that difference up later as an excuse not to marry her.
Tom and Maria weren't a good match. He wants a 2-income household partner. She wants to be traditional SAHW who if works, doesn't contribute financially.
Another thing, Cat, if you were so enamoured with Freddie, why was it necesssry to correct Ollie on who broke up with who? At that point you had both moved on and you were (or should have been) enjoying a luxury trip with your new fiance? Please stop using your adoption as an excuse to behave poorly or mistreat people. You’re an adult who is 100% responsible for how you *choose to behave* You’re doing a disservice to millions of decent, kind, respectful and loving adoptees, including several of my friends. They rarely mention their adoption other than in a specific conversation about adoption. Cat, respectfully, take accountability for your behaviour.
Catherine you should treat your adopted parents better. You act like you were adopted as a teenager or a whole adult pls give it up and stop trying to have a trauma by force. It’s actually a blessing to not have any traumas! it Doesn’t make you un relatable. As for Zionist Sam, truly have nothing to say to the man child
He really did. He should have teamed up with the beautiful brunette from the pods that was gorgeous and seemed sweet. Catherine looks older than him and has a horrible character, which the sister saw immediately. 😏
A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient.
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is shelly renee white..
Was Cat just a baby when she was adopted? Am I right in saying that? Cause I was adopted at 3y/o after being taken from my bio home for major neglect (found in the home with only my brother and blood in our diapers), and then through 7 foster homes and I don't treat people like that. Not to mention that I am an entirely different race from my adoptive family. Early childhood trauma is not an excuse and she doesn't seem to show remorse for being so rude to Freddie. Sam sounded more sincere here, actually taking accountability and admitting to his insecurities, realizing that the things he said was not great. He was even pleasant to Emma when she called him out, and agreeing with her that he was not on his best behaviour in the show.
What great hosts!!! So gracious and genuine. Remembering that they are people going through a stressful experience; no need to completely damage their already delicate reputation
Yes, out of her own mouth, " I'm a very confrontational character". No one wants to get to know Sam🤮..........or Kat TBH. Freddie THOUGHT he struck gold too, be WE KNEW HE DESERVED MUCH BETTER.
I don't have much empathy towards Catherine, because she wasn't sure about picking Freddie and she was swaying between Ollie and Freddie; she was all excited about seeing Sam, and actually said to Sam "I want this ring" when she saw his ring for Nicole. Unbelievable!
I am saying this because I see my self sabotaging ways in cat... she is very insecure which you saw from the group catch up. She so openly spoke about Sam looking like her ex but immediately got her defense up when Fred found one of the girls he met in the pod attractive. She then decided to get validation by flirting so openly with Sam. If that isn't an indication of a potential cheating moment then I don't know what is. Shes probably projecting here when she found out he cheated because perhaps she did to at some point. Conjecture of course. We are all a spectrum between black and white but some of us are in a darker shade of this spectrum than others but I think Fred deserves someone who is at his level like his sister said.
You're the only one I've found who's speculated that she's probably cheated before. I've said the same thing, and people have said otherwise. She says she's a "confrontational person", she bought up the cheating question to which freddie admitted the truth and showed remorse. She would've used that against him if things were to be serious between them. She needs to get therapy.
I’m confidently sure she has cheated in the past too. You know when she asked Freddie? Freddie then asked her the same question and the way she answered it was not convincing in the slightest. Cheating would pair nicely with her other awful traits so I would not put it past her at all.
I still believe after some reflection and maybe therapy, they can show their personal growth and become better human beings. It’s just not the right time for them to be on a tv show like this yet. You have to love yourself before you love someone else. Best wishes to them. ❤
I always saw that Sam was extremely insecure based on the nose job & the “I just want someone to love me.” That’s always concerning it can come off desperate which can cause love bombing. Praying for his healing.
Everyone is scared of Catherine and her reactions. Her adopted parents are on edge, her friends are on edge, everyone is on edge. How can she treat her parents so badly. They got angry at the rejection be cause she was hurt but also they will have to deal with the outcome.
Yes Cat ‘technically’ called it off with Ollie, BUT that was only because she knew he was going to choose Demi. He literally made it clear and then she manipulated the situation. How is no one speaking about this. It really annoys me
If you listen to Sam's interview without previously watching the video of him mocking the murder of innocent Palestine children, he almost comes across as human
She was humbled. Or maybe her ego was. Cat seems to not have a real view of reality. She perceives love as a right and entitlement. (Gives of Princess ) She still seems childlike and emotionally immature. With her family as enablers. She treated Freddy like consumer who purchased her and treated him with cold cruel spirits. My opinion…she needs counselling and…big reality check outside of me me ME. Spoilt.
For those doubting Cat's adoption trauma, let me tell you, it is very real. Someone very close to me was adopted. That's almost 3 months without attachment to a mother. Those first weeks and months are absolutely vital for babys to build secure attachment, it literally forms the way our brains develop. It's only recently that all the research shows how important that time is for babys development. It can leave the person with massive insecure attachments later in life. The feelings of rejection can hit very hard. A baby being without their mother or an attachment figure is traumatising
I’m one of those doubted people about her so-called adoption trauma. I don’t wanna hear it because y’all are making excuses for hiding behind her adoption, bring out the violins
Sam and Cat should end up together to be fair.. i wouldn’t wish hate upon them. But they truly are a pretty good match… their wave lengths seemed to be the same, it isn’t to my taste but I mean good for them, no? They seemed so alike and attracted to each other.
They are dating I heard this awhile ago thru someone that’s pretty damn reliable. We shall see. But it really does fit the script with her opinion on his ways & her “love” for him
They are dating I heard this awhile ago thru someone that’s pretty damn reliable. We shall see. But it really does fit the script with her opinion on his ways & her “love” for him
Their will just wound each other because neither know or love themselves. They think life happens to them, they have no role in their shitshow. Until they fix that thinking they’re doomed.
I want to say it's very refreshing to see genuine hosts, that can show emotional intelligence and are not that superficial, like the Lachey's. Here I can see that the hosts prioritize the connections and don't focus that much on the drama, which is inevitable in relationships, somehow they've allowed the cast to feel the good moments and have the bad ones for themselves, as much as they can, still hosting a show of course. Proud of Love is Blind UK
the reunion was good but felt SO rushed. Why did it have to be under 1 hour long? It easily could have been a 1h30-2h reunion. Some of them were concluded too fast!
I wish they would have held Sam’s feet to the fire more. He hurt literally the sweetest person. Thankfully, she has a man in her life that can complement her work in moving forward. Sam’s trauma is so deep that it will continue to hurt others. I hope he takes a long time to date and seek a lot of therapy.
It is incredible how this girl wants to leave Freddie in a bad position, it is the second interview I have seen in which she makes faces and says not so good things about Freddie and then ends with a phrase like "Freddie has my heart" aghh 🤮🤢
When she said, "Don't touch me," I was baffled. I get that you got rejected, but it wouldn't have come across as surprising if you were a good person. She wanted someone to pour her insecurities into, and freddie was too level-headed (thanks to his sister) to fall into that.
Disappointed cat has never been put under the hot seat for how she acted with Sam despite being so harsh with Freddie. Trauma does not excuse or justify bad behavior. She deserves the hot seat as much as the men all got asked about their actions/words. Why the lack of accountability?
I would love to see a Japanese translation. The UK version is one of the best looking men in the Love is Blind series and I enjoyed watching it. The women were also very beautiful, even though they didn't seem to get engaged.
Cat, being adopted is hard. I'm also adopted. But there comes a point where you have to be aware of your "triggers" and overcome. Living in the state of a title will forever keep you stuck there.
I don’t wanna know I’m sick of people talking about her being adopted. It’s just an excuse to justify her disgusting and toxic personality. I don’t wanna hear it. Am I being harsh? Maybe but that’s how I feel. I despise people who use their mental health card or in Catherine‘s case the adoption card.
Why is this interview coming before the reunion.. I feel like that should be illegal 😂... Sam and Kat aren’t terrible they just both have insecurities. Tbh I feel sams actually genuine. I believe the fact Nicole just stared at him in shock, was nerve racking…
The problem with Sam and Cat is that they play victim while attacking others. essentially, they avoid culpability by focusing on how they have been hurt. Sam with his childhood trauma and issue with his looks...but then says that he just mixes up his words and doesn't mean harm. Oh, you didn't mean harm when you were concerned that Nicole would be fat??? Or how about when you randomly spouted off about her coming to your home and trying to have sex with you??? The same is true with Cat...One minute she's on Freddy about saying a girl, who she pointed out as pretty, was indeed pretty to him. The next minute she's at the bar telling Sam he looks like her ex and that the ring she got from Freddy was not as nice as the ring Sam gave to Nicole. Sam and Cat are narcissists!
When Sam said "Nicole made the right decision"😂 he was over himself at that point. People are being so horrible to Cat and Sam. They are not bad people they just insecure and that manifests itself in different ways. Give people grace.
I see Sam is still doing his perpetually flustered and befuddled Hugh Grant routine. It sounds like both Sam and Cat are going to go through life hiding behind and weaponizing their insecurities to justify their terrible behavior.
Cat was awful to Freddie but she was almost worse to her parents. They chose her, they clearly love her. Instead she’s focused on the negatives in life. Made me very sad.
Sam’s interview was the most painful to watch. In my opinion, he minimized and/or excused his bad behavior and inappropriate comments. Also, Sam told a lie about Nicole, and for that I am not a fan.
Catherine seems like a nice young lady. However, when watching the episodes, I remember her being quite judgmental in the beginning and even intolerant of Eddie's sense of humor. It would grate on her. We literally saw his smile fade as the episodes went on. Then, at some point, she flips the script on him, where she was insecure in the relationship to now him being the one who was insecure about himself and the relationship. She undermined his spirit and sabotaged the relationship, and then seems to forget about her role in why it ultimately failed. Of course, we as viewers only get part of the story, but the way it played out in the end corroborates her role in their separation. She's young, and it's apparent that she was bringing a lot of personal baggage to the relationship, as it is that she's learned a lot from this experience and found a new level of self awareness and understanding. I wish her all the best.... As for Sam, he also seems like a nice guy, and he's coming clean on his insecurities. They were exposed on the show for all to see. I knew he wasn't right for Nicole (or anyone!) when he kept saying how he wanted to be loved, to find someone who loved him for who he was and would make him feel happy. Notice the language: it's all me, me, me. It's all coming from a place of need. His whole focus was on himself and what he could get from the relationship instead of what he could bring to it and enrich their bond and uplift her! So what we saw was a "nervous" foot in the mouth, cringe moments where he demeans her at the very moment when he should be lavishing her with love and compliments. His "boring brown" eyes comment hurt ME as a viewer with nothing invested in the relationship. I can only imagine how it made her feel! She obviously made the right call in terminating the relationship and moving on to Benaiah. So all's well that ends well. If you don't get that "fairy tale" ending it's because you aren't worthy of it. And in the end, life is always full of challenges. At least Cat and Sam can now admit that they're both better for the experience. I wish them both well and that they eventually do find the right person to spend the rest of their lives with once they've done the necessary work and healing . . .
So many people say Cathrine is posh and high maintenance, but her childish and uniformed views are somewhat middle schoolish. Laughing at Freddie profession crystalized this for me.
Emma, why didn’t you grill Cat on the *horrible way she treated Freddie?* She belittled him, criticised him, mocked him and undermined him. You should have held her accountable for her terrible behaviour. Just the shopping scene alone was worth a review.

Because Cat is not a man, simple!

Marie’s values are so 1950s, Tom was right to walk away.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 nothing wrong with her nor his values. He is a selfish knobhead
That's why I was confused when Marie spoke in the reunion about not wanting/needing for a man to pay for the meal etc.
Catherine you should treat your adopted parents better. You act like you were adopted as a teenager or a whole adult pls give it up and stop trying to have a trauma by force. It’s actually a blessing to not have any traumas! it Doesn’t make you un relatable. As for Zionist Sam, truly have nothing to say to the man child
Why wasn’t CAT HELD ACCOUNTABLE ON HOW SHE TREATED FREDDIE ???
Come onnnnnnnnn
I feel sorry for Freddie. He seems to be a very nice person, hard worker, humble. He cares for his brother. Cat was very shallow.
Freddy dodged a nuke there. Cat is a walking red flag and is malicious to her core. Freddy is so genuine, levels above.
He really did. He should have teamed up with the beautiful brunette from the pods that was gorgeous and seemed sweet. Catherine looks older than him and has a horrible character, which the sister saw immediately. 😏
No idea who Audrey and Tolly are but I love them! 💕 Beautiful girlies with awesome personalities. Bring them back for future podcast episodes please!
Listen to their podcast, they’re amazing 🤩
@@DonInADressI definitely will!!! 😊
I second that - their podcast is great
Omg you’d love The Receipts Podcast - it’s amazing
A perfect marriage or relationship is an illusion; there's no universal playbook for making them work. What's effective for one couple may not apply to another. Nevertheless, I've come to understand that there's always a solution to be found. Half a decade ago, my wife and I faced such trials in our marriage that divorce seemed inevitable. Yet, through perseverance and determination, we navigated through the rough waters and emerged stronger, reunited, and more resilient.
There is a lot of sense in what you just said and I hope mine works the same way too, we are currently separated but I cant live without her, I love her so much. wish I can get her back I can do anything to have her back, we have tried therapy amongst other things
Its always difficult to let someone you love go, but in my case I had the help of a spiritual adviser who saved my marriage from collapsing her name is shelly renee white..
This is helpful, I will look her up online right now...Thanks.
You wont regret it
Was Cat just a baby when she was adopted? Am I right in saying that? Cause I was adopted at 3y/o after being taken from my bio home for major neglect (found in the home with only my brother and blood in our diapers), and then through 7 foster homes and I don't treat people like that. Not to mention that I am an entirely different race from my adoptive family. Early childhood trauma is not an excuse and she doesn't seem to show remorse for being so rude to Freddie.
Sam sounded more sincere here, actually taking accountability and admitting to his insecurities, realizing that the things he said was not great. He was even pleasant to Emma when she called him out, and agreeing with her that he was not on his best behaviour in the show.
I’m not certain about Sabrina and Steven! They glossed over the living situation and children chat way too quick!
What great hosts!!! So gracious and genuine. Remembering that they are people going through a stressful experience; no need to completely damage their already delicate reputation
Yes I agree. Matt and Emma are great - really happy for them!
10:58 "He's (Sam) like me" well said Cat -- two people who cannot hide how insufferable they are
I found it hillarious when Sam was clearly overpowered by Beniah the lion...all Sam could muster was "that guy´s Holywood!"
Yes, out of her own mouth, " I'm a very confrontational character". No one wants to get to know Sam🤮..........or Kat TBH. Freddie THOUGHT he struck gold too, be WE KNEW HE DESERVED MUCH BETTER.
they should have waited with this episode until after the reunion, it kinda gave away a lot in between the lines
Yep!
Yeah I agree
Cat didn’t reject. Ollie was gonna reject anyway
Sam is weird
Sam is a competitive insecure vain bully....he didnt get better because of his trauma...he became the people who picked on him
How is Sam a bully??
Kat, tired of u "weaponizing" ur apotion.
I don't have much empathy towards Catherine, because she wasn't sure about picking Freddie and she was swaying between Ollie and Freddie; she was all excited about seeing Sam, and actually said to Sam "I want this ring" when she saw his ring for Nicole. Unbelievable!
I am saying this because I see my self sabotaging ways in cat... she is very insecure which you saw from the group catch up. She so openly spoke about Sam looking like her ex but immediately got her defense up when Fred found one of the girls he met in the pod attractive. She then decided to get validation by flirting so openly with Sam. If that isn't an indication of a potential cheating moment then I don't know what is. Shes probably projecting here when she found out he cheated because perhaps she did to at some point. Conjecture of course.
We are all a spectrum between black and white but some of us are in a darker shade of this spectrum than others but I think Fred deserves someone who is at his level like his sister said.
You're the only one I've found who's speculated that she's probably cheated before. I've said the same thing, and people have said otherwise. She says she's a "confrontational person", she bought up the cheating question to which freddie admitted the truth and showed remorse. She would've used that against him if things were to be serious between them. She needs to get therapy.
Very insightful
I’m confidently sure she has cheated in the past too. You know when she asked Freddie? Freddie then asked her the same question and the way she answered it was not convincing in the slightest. Cheating would pair nicely with her other awful traits so I would not put it past her at all.
Audrey and Tolly! My faves!!! Loved this episode of the podcast! ❤
I still believe after some reflection and maybe therapy, they can show their personal growth and become better human beings. It’s just not the right time for them to be on a tv show like this yet. You have to love yourself before you love someone else. Best wishes to them. ❤
You got the absolute CORRECT people as guest for the podcast! Tolly and Audrey did their thing. Keep it up
Came here literally for Audrey and Tolly ~ sending love from Australia ❤❤
Cat and Sam are a reminder of if you don’t process your trauma you can be so self absorbed
I always saw that Sam was extremely insecure based on the nose job & the “I just want someone to love me.” That’s always concerning it can come off desperate which can cause love bombing. Praying for his healing.
Everyone is scared of Catherine and her reactions. Her adopted parents are on edge, her friends are on edge, everyone is on edge. How can she treat her parents so badly. They got angry at the rejection be cause she was hurt but also they will have to deal with the outcome.
Yes Cat ‘technically’ called it off with Ollie, BUT that was only because she knew he was going to choose Demi. He literally made it clear and then she manipulated the situation. How is no one speaking about this. It really annoys me
Sam is a basic AH for stating Nicole ask to sleep with him. He’s pathetic
If you listen to Sam's interview without previously watching the video of him mocking the murder of innocent Palestine children, he almost comes across as human
Exactly. He’s such a good manipulator. Gullible people will fall for it.
Omg he did whaaaat
Thank you for this comment! He's a Zionist and deserve nothing but a miserable life.
Whaaat?? Just when you think he can't be any MORE the worst.
Where is this supposed video?
She was humbled. Or maybe her ego was. Cat seems to not have a real view of reality. She perceives love as a right and entitlement. (Gives of Princess ) She still seems childlike and emotionally immature.
With her family as enablers.
She treated Freddy like consumer who purchased her and treated him with cold cruel spirits. My opinion…she needs counselling and…big reality check outside of me me ME. Spoilt.
I feel like Kat and Sam are so similar in many ways they might be a good match lool
For those doubting Cat's adoption trauma, let me tell you, it is very real. Someone very close to me was adopted.
That's almost 3 months without attachment to a mother. Those first weeks and months are absolutely vital for babys to build secure attachment, it literally forms the way our brains develop. It's only recently that all the research shows how important that time is for babys development. It can leave the person with massive insecure attachments later in life. The feelings of rejection can hit very hard. A baby being without their mother or an attachment figure is traumatising
She found a mom at 3weeks what's her excuse
@@MatshibaMotimele-ce4qh 11 weeks actually. That's nearly 3 months
I’m one of those doubted people about her so-called adoption trauma. I don’t wanna hear it because y’all are making excuses for hiding behind her adoption, bring out the violins
❤
Sam blaming his parents for his behavior is so immature and embarrassing.
Tom is the villain of this season . He knew he didn’t want to be with Maria yet used her any way .
Using her for what exactly? I fail to see it like that because he has to pay for everything and she didn't even wanted to share his mortgage
From the reunion they look like they are still together
@@LNOTUE All Tom wanted from Maria was sex. He was too conservative to embrace her culture.
And Fatma as well. Whilst she was ready to accept Tom. Tom is p os
Sam and Cat should end up together to be fair.. i wouldn’t wish hate upon them. But they truly are a pretty good match… their wave lengths seemed to be the same, it isn’t to my taste but I mean good for them, no? They seemed so alike and attracted to each other.
But I think she likes Ollie
@@Fadingfader I agree with you. I think they’d be a good match. They should date.
They are dating I heard this awhile ago thru someone that’s pretty damn reliable. We shall see. But it really does fit the script with her opinion on his ways & her “love” for him

Their will just wound each other because neither know or love themselves. They think life happens to them, they have no role in their shitshow. Until they fix that thinking they’re doomed.
Love is blind UK is fantastic....they are soo polite to each other...the English they speak is just lovely
I want to say it's very refreshing to see genuine hosts, that can show emotional intelligence and are not that superficial, like the Lachey's. Here I can see that the hosts prioritize the connections and don't focus that much on the drama, which is inevitable in relationships, somehow they've allowed the cast to feel the good moments and have the bad ones for themselves, as much as they can, still hosting a show of course. Proud of Love is Blind UK
the way cat and sam blame almost everything on their insecurities 😂
atp they should just be together since they’re so similar lmao 😂😂
the reunion was good but felt SO rushed. Why did it have to be under 1 hour long? It easily could have been a 1h30-2h reunion. Some of them were concluded too fast!
Don’t these pods kind of ruin the point of a reunion? 😭
Oh yea
Right?? Why ask all these questions when you could save it for the reunion? 😒
I wish they would have held Sam’s feet to the fire more. He hurt literally the sweetest person. Thankfully, she has a man in her life that can complement her work in moving forward. Sam’s trauma is so deep that it will continue to hurt others. I hope he takes a long time to date and seek a lot of therapy.
It is incredible how this girl wants to leave Freddie in a bad position, it is the second interview I have seen in which she makes faces and says not so good things about Freddie and then ends with a phrase like "Freddie has my heart" aghh 🤮🤢
When she said, "Don't touch me," I was baffled. I get that you got rejected, but it wouldn't have come across as surprising if you were a good person. She wanted someone to pour her insecurities into, and freddie was too level-headed (thanks to his sister) to fall into that.
@@Gerbera726 yeah right? Oh my gosh the "don't hug me" killed me too 🫠
Thank god. Freddie saw through her eventually. Brilliant season thank you ❤
freddie they could never make us hate you
No surprise that the two cast members that desperately wanted drama are the two available for the podcast.
Only watching this for Tolly & Audrey 😅 personally not a fan of Sam at all & probably would've skipped this episode otherwise 😅😂
Omg Tolly and Audrey! 😍😍😍😍😍
Watching for the Receipts omg love them !!!!
Love Tolly and Audrey ❤
Everyone that has assests on Love is Blind should get a prenup. You can adjust them later
So basically, Cat and Freddie are still together.
WWHHHYYY
They are not
I want to see a photo of Sam before the makeover
I hope CAT and Sam are dating
They deserve each other
🚩
I like the presenter's shirt. where can I buy it?
Rixo London Didi embroidered top.
Disappointed cat has never been put under the hot seat for how she acted with Sam despite being so harsh with Freddie. Trauma does not excuse or justify bad behavior. She deserves the hot seat as much as the men all got asked about their actions/words. Why the lack of accountability?
I would love to see a Japanese translation.
The UK version is one of the best looking men in the Love is Blind series and I enjoyed watching it.
The women were also very beautiful, even though they didn't seem to get engaged.
Cat was quite horrible on the show. Freddie dodged a bullet
Cat, being adopted is hard. I'm also adopted. But there comes a point where you have to be aware of your "triggers" and overcome. Living in the state of a title will forever keep you stuck there.
I don’t wanna know I’m sick of people talking about her being adopted. It’s just an excuse to justify her disgusting and toxic personality. I don’t wanna hear it. Am I being harsh? Maybe but that’s how I feel. I despise people who use their mental health card or in Catherine‘s case the adoption card.
These interviews are stepping on the reunion heat.
Much is revealed if viewers learn to read between the lines.
AHHHH THE RECEIPTS x LOVE IS BLIND UK???? IM SO PROUD OF THE GIRLS
They didn’t grill Cat for her awful disrespectful behavior towards our king Freddie
Not watching
You're right. He is just like you
I only watch Love is Blind because of Aaron and Jo's reactions
Why is this interview coming before the reunion.. I feel like that should be illegal 😂... Sam and Kat aren’t terrible they just both have insecurities. Tbh I feel sams actually genuine. I believe the fact Nicole just stared at him in shock, was nerve racking…
The problem with Sam and Cat is that they play victim while attacking others. essentially, they avoid culpability by focusing on how they have been hurt. Sam with his childhood trauma and issue with his looks...but then says that he just mixes up his words and doesn't mean harm. Oh, you didn't mean harm when you were concerned that Nicole would be fat??? Or how about when you randomly spouted off about her coming to your home and trying to have sex with you??? The same is true with Cat...One minute she's on Freddy about saying a girl, who she pointed out as pretty, was indeed pretty to him. The next minute she's at the bar telling Sam he looks like her ex and that the ring she got from Freddy was not as nice as the ring Sam gave to Nicole. Sam and Cat are narcissists!
I see Sam has been prepping for these interviews, he came in very defensive 😂.
When Sam said "Nicole made the right decision"😂 he was over himself at that point. People are being so horrible to Cat and Sam. They are not bad people they just insecure and that manifests itself in different ways. Give people grace.
What's wrong with Bolton? Why would Cat not want to move there?
Love Matt and Emma but won’t listen to Cat and Sam especially if Cat isn’t questioned on her behaviour
I see Sam is still doing his perpetually flustered and befuddled Hugh Grant routine. It sounds like both Sam and Cat are going to go through life hiding behind and weaponizing their insecurities to justify their terrible behavior.
Emma, where did you get top lovely top from???
Please you guys I seriously need subtitles or CC on these (English not my mother tongue and British accent is beautiful but also I get lost :P)
Oh yes please.
Love this UK season and the Thai video/ podcast.
Cat was awful to Freddie but she was almost worse to her parents. They chose her, they clearly love her. Instead she’s focused on the negatives in life. Made me very sad.
Sam’s interview was the most painful to watch. In my opinion, he minimized and/or excused his bad behavior and inappropriate comments. Also, Sam told a lie about Nicole, and for that I am not a fan.
Steven and Sabrina were made for each other.
We need Portuguese subtitles!! The beautiful girls speak very fast and I miss a lot of information! Kisses from Brazil. 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Tom and maria was religion differences
Im surprised theyre posting this before the reunion.
Catherine seems like a nice young lady. However, when watching the episodes, I remember her being quite judgmental in the beginning and even intolerant of Eddie's sense of humor. It would grate on her. We literally saw his smile fade as the episodes went on. Then, at some point, she flips the script on him, where she was insecure in the relationship to now him being the one who was insecure about himself and the relationship. She undermined his spirit and sabotaged the relationship, and then seems to forget about her role in why it ultimately failed. Of course, we as viewers only get part of the story, but the way it played out in the end corroborates her role in their separation. She's young, and it's apparent that she was bringing a lot of personal baggage to the relationship, as it is that she's learned a lot from this experience and found a new level of self awareness and understanding. I wish her all the best....
As for Sam, he also seems like a nice guy, and he's coming clean on his insecurities. They were exposed on the show for all to see. I knew he wasn't right for Nicole (or anyone!) when he kept saying how he wanted to be loved, to find someone who loved him for who he was and would make him feel happy. Notice the language: it's all me, me, me. It's all coming from a place of need. His whole focus was on himself and what he could get from the relationship instead of what he could bring to it and enrich their bond and uplift her! So what we saw was a "nervous" foot in the mouth, cringe moments where he demeans her at the very moment when he should be lavishing her with love and compliments. His "boring brown" eyes comment hurt ME as a viewer with nothing invested in the relationship. I can only imagine how it made her feel! She obviously made the right call in terminating the relationship and moving on to Benaiah. So all's well that ends well. If you don't get that "fairy tale" ending it's because you aren't worthy of it. And in the end, life is always full of challenges. At least Cat and Sam can now admit that they're both better for the experience. I wish them both well and that they eventually do find the right person to spend the rest of their lives with once they've done the necessary work and healing . . .
If this is the after nose, I’m curious to know what the before was, and if the plastic surgeons in Britain are in par with their dentists…
I googled it, it’s easy to find
😂😂😂
So many people say Cathrine is posh and high maintenance, but her childish and uniformed views are somewhat middle schoolish. Laughing at Freddie profession crystalized this for me.
