As a Nigerian girl, I kept one eye open with SK because these Naija men will hide a whole nother secret family in a different city from their original family with ease and not a stain on their conscience... insanity
As a non-Nigerian, I saw people tweet similarly to what you said here. I am shouting into the void: why is this so rampant where I'm from too?! Who is writing the how-to manual, international edition?!
We went from Cole being the bad guy, to Bartiste being the actual terrorist, to SK being the actual demon. If anything this season has showed us how incredible these guys are at being awful. It’s like you don’t think it can get any worse and someone pops up and says ‘hold my beer’. It’s genuinely equal parts fascinating and terrifying.
Don’t forget Matt being controlling over Colleen, and the eyedrops man 🤣 Season 3 has all beautiful women dating walking red flags while wearing rose-colored lenses.
Wasn't Cole's case in the end a bit reversed? He started bad, but then tried to get better, and ended up looking broken. While Zainab was the one being full of issues.
@@Black.Spades Zanab being insecure and projecting on him doesn’t negate or erase Cole being childish (and a little racist) and _also_ projecting on her but sure - gold star to Cole for at least having a partner who was compatibly incompatible so he’s not just out here looking like a lone asshole like the rest of the men from this season
The only reason everyone thought SK was such a good guy is because he wasn't loud. Just think about that. That's how easy it is. All you have to do is be quiet, don't act like you need a massive amount of attention from everyone and occasionally say "It's what's inside that counts." And women will think you're a good guy. 🤣🤣🤣 we are doomed.
This reminds me of a quote from a Jenny Nicholson video that goes something like “maybe he’s not a nice boy, maybe he’s just a quiet boy”. Just because someone isn’t shoving into your face how much they suck doesn’t mean they don’t, it just means they’re smart enough to hide it
When he said that he was happy about the pods and women not being able to know his race/judge him based on his race, that told me everything I needed to know.
Lol I’m willing to bet everybody watching this show saw her as out of his league! Lol he cheated with a women on his level for sure but treated her like shit too so honestly that guy is disgusting.
I had not watched any of Kennie's love is blind videos and this one autoplayed for me in the background and when I heard that he wasn't attracted to her, I looked up how she looked like and I was just stunned. She is GORGEOUS and besides her looks, the clips i looked up and the podcast episode I watched just showed her being so sweet and just overall a relaxing person to listen to talk.
what really grinds my gears past the cheating is the fact that in the show and after show he constantly LIED about finances. every second he was talking about how in order to get married yadda yadda he had to be stable and even in the aftershow he tells the guys that making long distance work was “expensive” but he flying everybody n they mama all over the world. men always have the audacity.
Damn 😳🤔 I didn't even think about that but you're right he didn't want to pay for Ravens appt and he initially broke up due to money and time yet they got together and he's off having like multiple side chicks and dating Raven.
Hahaha it’s expensive because he’s paying for every other girl. This reminds me of a guy I almost dated. He was a very successful engineer (now works with NASA) and I looked through his phone. With me he paid for everything BUT when I saw the plethora of women he was talking to ( BTW this is a country white guy 👱🏻♂️) I couldn’t believe it. He would tell every other girl how he was “broke” and if they wanted to stop by his home 🏡. Some actually believed him and would agree to even pay 💰 for his dinner 🙄🤦🏽♀️ the whole “forward” empowerment thing. What they didn’t know he was spending most of his check on me. I’m not easy at all and he was pulling all the stops. He paid out for trips with me, He paid my rent , My groceries, shopping 🛍️, etc. when I saw how he talked to other women, I cut it off. 🤷🏽♀️ A man will do anything to keep you around. Although we were not “official “ that didn’t matter to me. If he’s like that trying to get with me, you think he’ll stop in a relationship? Yeah, no. he’s no different than SK. SK has money, and can obviously afford it.
Poc men looking for non poc woman validation is so gross and sad. I’m a black woman and recently had this convo with an Asian man about how supposedly we are the “least desired on dating apps” his attitude was to prove to whites he is more than just Asian while my attitude was “ I’m not interested in who’s not interested in me” he was baffled
So many people misread/misinterpreted that study. Black women were least likely to be responded to by white men, while Asian men were least likely to be responded to by white women. It's so typical of this society to only view attractiveness through the lens of what straight white people find attractive. Black women were most likely to be responded to by East/South Asian men, Hispanic Men, and Indigenous Men (literally everyone except white men). Black men were most likely to get a response from white women.
I remember how you talked about SK's family being so welcoming to Raven in the last vid, and now in hindsight I realized they were just shocked/happy to see he brought home a woman of color. That and the way they comforted Raven after SK said no at the altar, knowing that she really wasn't his type.
@@Confettifun That's not what that means, women of cool isn't a synonym for black it means any non-white woman, so Asian, Latina, etc. etc. included. The original comment is trying to say SK probably wouldn't find a woman attractive if she doesn't look white white which is why the family was shocked about Raven being brought around
@@Confettifun we aren’t saying black is a dirty word. We’re saying that he hasn’t brought ANY woman of color, as in Asian women, brown women, Latina women, *or* black women. Stop looking into things that aren’t there
@@Confettifun Well she's not black shes black and WHITE and yall acting like she looks far from white. Raven phenotypically looks closer to a white person than black gtfoh bout "he brought a woman of color home"???? She damn near white what the fuck... yall tripping.
Growing up Black in suburbia wasn't always easy, but it definitely taught me all the coded ways men say "I only date white women," so I side eyed SK from the jump. And my personality is very similar to Raven's; all the hate she was getting for being "snobby" got on my nerves lol. The wig is flawless btw omg!!
I feel like any woman, especially black woman, who is independent and stands up for herself in the same way Raven did would get hated for that and be insulted for that. Personally that's the kinda person I aspire to be.
@@princessofhell4639 Yep! She just had standards and was clear about what she expected. I did like that she said that the experience on the show helped her with being more vulnerable - shows that she is open to growing and changing.
I love Raven the most out of all the women who’ve come on LIB! Butttt my first impression of her wasn’t the best 😅 mostly because of how the show showed her not listening to Cole while working out 😂
@@laurenneves7144 it was bartiste that was opening up and she was exercising, but in the aftermath of Bart and his partner in the show he probably deserved that tbh. Dude is probably so irresistible to not try and take him down a peg for his cockiness and inflated ego she must have heard something we didn’t in that moment of him talking.
I don't know why people question singleness nowadays. Especially when there are so many examples of why its better to be by yourself. A lot of these couples don't make it look like its worth the effort.
@@moethemoon I think healthy relationships are beautiful. There's so much toxic mess though. It sucks. I'd rather be alone than in one of these soul crushing situations.
before y'all jump to Brennon as the last bastion of hope for the men of this season, please remember that he was criminally charged for assault (throwing his ex against the wall, knocking her unconscious) and was dealing with that case literally WEEKS before filming started 💀 the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence, as is generally the case with these types of allegations since it's very hard to prove without witnesses, but it by no means makes it go away. i'd say Brennon is definitely in the bottom tier of most nefarious, dangerous men on the entire show.
I think my favorite part about SK is his brother. His brother kept calling him out throughout the show and in after the alter. The whole “know the return policy” for the engagement ring shopping wasn’t just a joke that man knows his brother
Never surprised by some dude cheating, but CONSTANTLY surprised by the number of people willing to get on a plane to go meet up with someone. Like?? I can't be bothered to drive longer than twenty minutes for a date smh.
I was really flabbergasted when this all came out. Kennie often says that you have to hate someone to cheat on them but I think it's more about being incredibly selfish and not giving af about someone else's feeling. Not hate but simply not caring, which i find more insidious.
That’s the only way I can wrap my brain around it as well. An utter and complete lack of awareness, to the degree that you don’t really see other people as real in the same way as yourself.
there’s also not much to like about raven, her whole personality is pilates. idk how great of a wife prospect she rly is 😂 i’m not saying he’s better than her i’m saying they made sense together
I completely agree. Cheating is massive emotional abuse and has so many life threatening risks that come with STDs and random strangers in your relationship you’re not even aware of. It doesn’t get the full credit for the toll it has on the innocent spouse.
I will never understand people's casual-ness towards cheating, especially after my ex hubs beat tf out of me because he was paranoid I was cheating while HE WAS SLEEPING AROUND with like God endless amount of street trash for years dude. I'm currently getting the queen treatment from a wonderful man now though, whose shown me nothing but respect and pure unselfish love I was forced to believe I didn't deserve ❤️
@@carrained thank you very much, I've lost so much when I escaped (including almost my entire mouth of teeth after several hours of a steel toe boot to my face that I still haven't be able to afford to fix, my 2 babies, and the very little I'd ever had) but I'm alive. Despite how hard it is to be grateful I'm still here, I'm definitely trying. Your kindness helps so much❤️❤️
I feel like I was the only one who peeped SK calling out Bartab opening up to Nancy about their guy chats on the reunion. Like, he didn't care about what Barbarella was doing to Nancy, he only cared him exposing their locker room chat. It was clear to me then that he had something to hide.
I knew he could not be trusted since the wedding! He gave no sign of doubts during the whole process, he always said he was sure about getting married to Raven, he always spoke about how in love he was with her and what a great catch she was… but then, out of the blue, he said no! And his mother showed more consideration towards Raven than him… I knew he was a player with that shift!
You know, when watching the clips in kennie’s first video I was under the impression that he was never really into it. Though he did fool me in the sense that I wanted to root for an ambitious, articulated Nigerian, he always gave the vibe of someone who only said what everyone else wanted to hear. He clearly had other plans for his future.
but raven never seemed into it either idk people act like he broke her heart but she was unsure about him the whole time and every time she talked to her friends it’s like none of them were impressed. when he said no at the alter i feel like she fake cried cause she was relieved n smiling a bit too 😂
@@p.a.681right??? Like they got some bitterness for Raven that seems 👀 SK that you? Or maybe miss A? If not, I’m feeling some projection/insecurities cause it’s a reality show. If you think they’re going to show us the full nuance of a person…
what you said about SK seemingly being a good guy which makes the cheating more malicious really struck a cord in me. my ex was one of those "really good guys" - and he was - but he still betrayed my trust and cheated, and i could never wrap my head around that. in the end, none of his family or friends were on my side because they couldn't believe he would do something like that, and because next to him, i was more flawed and less likeable. really shitty situation to be in and my heart goes out to raven.
About your comment about Brennan being the last good guy of this season - it turns out he has allegations of domestic violence for beating his girlfriend a few months before season 3 started filming I believe. So all the guys this season just suck
"SK has ruined everything for himself, good. Bitch." I felt that 😭 And I definitely agree about cheating being abusive. The amount of trauma it can cause, the potential of putting their partner's health at risk, its a form of emotional abuse. We've just been so desensitized to it because of how rampant and shameless its become.
It’s so much more than the information sharing and shitty pay and working condition for therapists. They have gotten into trouble for not having licensed therapists in the past. Now there are still TONS of reports of terrible therapists (using the bathroom during video sessions, talking more about themselves than the client, etc.) As a therapist myself better help is TERRIBLE for both therapists and clients!
I was hoping someone would mention the BetterHelp sponsorship 😭 I’m very glad that Kennie found a great therapist but I need someone to let her know the nasty things BetterHelp has been doing to their clients and therapists alike
Agreed. Cheating is abusive-and not just emotionally. The act of cheating is immensely manipulative and vile behavior. To claim you love another, but can’t even spare the other from hurt by breaking up before moving on is wild to me. People who do this would rather mentally and emotionally twist their partner’s mind to avoid responsibility, and in some cases, “donate” an STI to them. Mtchew
I liked Raven because to me she was so straightforward with him on the show. She definitely did hold her emotions close to her heart, and she was so so soooo relatable! I watched the podcast this morning and was like “oh Raven is really me fr” and that’s terrifying. Cuz that just lets me know that even I could be manipulated and lied to. I’m always saying shit to my friends like, “Girl that could never be me.” Like no, Jay, that really could be you 😭I’m throwing out the idea of reconnecting with ex-friends and entering a romantic relationship this year. No need to risk the minuscule amount of happiness I have right now lmfaooo
this is a genuine question. What about making new friends first? I feel like people try to have unrealistic expectations of themselves to predict all possible shit that is going to happen to them (including being deceived by people). But in reality, people who are talking to anybody with the hopes of an ideal outcome in any interaction (romantic or platonic) tend to be narrowly focused on people and won't catch anything suspect that you or anybody else would notice from an outsider's perspective. Anyways, hope next year treats you with healthy relationships 🤙
@@notmyhairyarmpits what i meant to say was that I’m throwing my plan of actively looking for something, like going out of my way to find a date or perfect bf, ya know? If I run into someone nice while I’m at my local cafe then I’ll just… go with the flow and what happens happens. But LOOKING for love? SEARCHING for a best friend? A texting buddy? Nah, I’m gonna chill on that mentally. I talk to people simply cuz I like talking and don’t really expect anything to come from interactions with new ppl. For the most part, I pick up on red flags pretty well and dip before everything completely blows up in my face. And even if i do have certain expectations and get blinded, then that’s on me and I gotta work through it 😂💕 thanks for the well wishes haha
That’s why I never bought into the Raven slander. She didn’t appeal to white ppl because she wasn’t bubbly or easy to take advantage. She got a lot of hate for having expectations and boundaries, I believe, lately due to being a black (black adjacent) woman.
The reason I side eyed him from the moment he opened his mouth in the very first episode is because he did up a whole monologue basically revealing that he was hoping this show would connect him with a non-Black woman. He told on himself openly with all that talk of hoping the women could "look across the fence" and detailing his experiences on dating apps where he basically didn't have the access to non-Black women that he wanted because they must not have wanted to deal with someone with his skin tone. So this alone put him on my shit list. And seeing everyone fawn over him for acting like a seemingly well adjusted adult was wild as hell lmao. It's clear now that he's thirsty for white women specifically, and somehow Raven wasn't even enough. As beautiful as she is!!!!!!! He's a greedy, colorist dog that doesn't deserve nice things and I want us as women to stop commending men for putting forth the bare minimum. Like, we really gotta set the bar higher cause these dudes are getting away with murder out here fr 😭
Season One had just the right amount of messy drama, and we had the wholesomeness of Cameron and Lauren in between the messiness to even it out. Season 3 was just an absolute dumpster fire. I think after the success of the first season, more people are coming on the show just for their 15 minutes of fame rather than actually wanting to find a life partner. And the people who are actually there for marriage become collateral damage.
Haitian woman, and I sussed SK. The stories I have about women in my family who have husbands with whole second, third, fourth, fifth families in Haiti and secret children. Married for green card, started arguments so they can live mostly in Haiti to start new families and businesses without telling their wife type drama. I started watching Nigerian media years ago and saw way too many similarities in culture to trust SK. I would have liked to be wrong. He made one comment about men having control of the TV remote, and I don't know why, but it was a full "no" for me after that. Something about it seemed too familiar.
I’m Nigerian and I’ll fully admit that a large percentage of my positive feelings for SK were due to the fact that he appeared to be breaking stereotypes for both Nigerian men as well as AA men in general. So, you weren’t alone in that mindset!
SK dug himself a grave and is going out of his way to bury himself. Like why go out of your way to propose to someone when you're going to cheat, I've had tdayhat happen to me and it was so painful (I literally cried for days when I found out).
Ok so here's the thing. If you're broken up, non exclusive, or in muddy waters relationship wise, it's not really cheating - if you agree that it's okay to see other people. But if you lie? If you gotta lie, then 1. you know it's wrong, 2. you show that you're not trustworthy, and 3. you don't care about your partner's wellbeing. If you gotta lie, then what you did is wrong. That's it. It's the Ross and Rachel thing all over again: it's not about the technicality of "on a break/not on a break". It's about whether or not you're ready to hurt the other person. And if you're going to lengths trying to hide it, you don't gotta get on your high horse about being on a break. It's in bad faith.
It will never cease to amaze me how often people cheat, and how there’s no safeguard against it. Raven is drop dead gorgeous, and while we can’t say much about her personality just from a show, she did turn down Bartiste and stayed loyal to SK because he was (seemingly) a man with more depth. My dad also cheated on my mum, and with a woman who was a truly awful person that couldn’t hold a candle to my mother. Some people cannot appreciate what they have in the moment, and if that’s the case they should be honest and not drag others into their dissatisfaction.
i remember when things were unfolding someone said thats why SK's mom was so happy about Raven because at least she was half, she knew her son had a type for white women.
Ngl I never liked SK 😂 as a Nigerian gal myself he just struck me as a Yoruba demon from the start and I feel sO justified to have been proven right lmao Rip to Raven though 😢 Edit: LMAOOO PROVING MY POINT AT 8:29 fr man all my Nigerian girlies knew from the startttt 💀
I noticed SK was pretty quiet after the show aired. Everyone else was going on podcasts but he wasn't. Raven was talking about their relationship but he wasn't....but I figured he was quiet and shy and focusing on school 🙄 What was his endgame though? He wasn't into Raven so he could have just walked away. He said no at the altar, end of story. There was no need to do what he did and there was especially no need to get engaged. What was he doing? Cheating is always unnecessary but this was ESPECIALLY unnecessary since he pursued Raven when he knew he likes blonde white girls!
Kennie is the only reason I even know what's happening in love is blind. Whenever it trends on twitter I'm always surprised that i know everyone's names n dramas 😓 this is gonna be fun tho, i love kennie's analysis 🤭
I was really rooting for this Nigerian man too 😭 like I wanted him to be the exception so bad but he was somehow worse! Normal Nigerian men just cheat, he built a whole sociopathic false persona to gaslight US *and* his fiancé
SK is a covert narcissist and I knew it from the way he blindsided Raven very publicly at the altar and spoke ill of her behind the cameras, never expressing his needs to her personally/making her believe it'd be a yes.
Those lashes? With the shine of the eyeshadow? And the wig? This look is so powerful. I’m talking anime protagonist after they remember their friends are depending on them powerful
I didnt believe anything SK said from the beginning. He wasn't even concerned about Bartise's infatuation with Raven in the beginning. I pretty much expected this.
I said the same thing in another comment! He always seemed to only say what people wanted to hear when in reality he was never that interested. People always expose themselves through the little things they say and do, though, and even if he was trying to lay low it was apparent he had other ideas in mind.
I remember saying this to my friend and applauding Raven’s friends for interrogating him and ppl were really swept up by SK. Like please my West African alarms were going OFFFFF
I really thought SK was genuine. I remembered what he said about women on dating apps and figured he like most black men was obsessed with getting a white woman. I figured raven is beautiful and light skin enough to be ok but guess not.
3:43 I see no one has told Kennie about the assault case yet Thanks for the time line! I listened to parts of the podcast but it got really confusing, but you helped clear it up!
@MikkyLuvs Okay so basically shortly before Brennan went on the show he was dating this girl and he beat her up (real crazy stuff, threw her against the wall and was punching her even after she got knocked out). A case and police report were filed against him but the jury dropped the case.
«believing SK was off» is not about believing that good people, good trustworthy men don’t exist. to me at least. of course they do. the reason he pretty quickly creeped me out is because he was always perfectly composed. extremely polite and smooth, mild demeanor. words carefully picked out, tone always even. not one asperities in sight. i’m not talking about wearing your flaws on your sleeves, just small regular human stuff, idk. a small thing: a high pitched laugh, a weird interest, a nervous habit, a funny facial expression. a peculiar word used often when speaking. something, any tiny thing to show me you’re not an actual robot. i’ve met people like that in real life and at the time thought they were just very polite and mild mannered. i run in the opposite direction now, that’s a demon.
So glad you're doing this, no one I know likes this dumpster fire of a show 😅... you said Brennan is the only guy left that's okay but I heard he had domestic abuse charges pressed against him like right before the show was filmed 😬 all these dudes are a messsss
Omg I can't believe they let him go on the show. I know there wasn't enough evidence, but that's a huge liability on their part if he were to hurt another contestant.
@T C 100%, ever since hearing about the charges I've been super concerned for all of the women around him. I know Alexa comes across as a strong woman but that's never stopped someone from abusing a person before :(
I couldn’t 100% get on the SK bandwagon. He seemed to be one of the better guys there (low bar) at face value but when I thought about real world big picture my knee jerk reaction was “Why are you here?” He’s in his 30’s going to undergrad full time from a traditional Nigerian family and he paused his life to enter a reality tv show to find a wife!? He has no real job. He’s living on financial aid. He’s old enough that if he was truly mature he would not have even been on the show. Like you put your life on hold to go back to school full time to then put your life on hold to go on a reality dating show where the goal is to get a wife. Marriage is a legal contract. Why are you trying to subject a woman to being your benefactor for the next 3-4 years?? Shouldn’t you be in class? Add on the fact that he comes from a very traditional family so his exposure to marriage roles has also been very traditional and the cynical part of me knew that he wasn’t showing his true colors on the show. His actions that brought him to the show read as someone trying to find himself and enjoying the ride along the way ( maybe even somewhat impulsive). That does not match the ultra mature, worldly person that he tried to present himself as.
Exactly! His story did not make sense to me! His main ambitions were totally incompatible with the goal of the show. I figured that the incongruence was also because he needed a bit of money. It was obvious that even his family was not convinced by all of it, and they know him best. He put on airs.
So SK likes his women thick, mildly chunky, with a whisper of ratchet, preferably pale… yeah Raven was definitely not his type. I remember when his face was like “what’s Pilates” 😂 Kind of sad that she probably would’ve had a better failed relationship with Bartista afterall🥴
@@WilliamsPinch He didn’t seem like her type tho. Like her biggest question to him was basically ‘and what do we have in common besides the gym’. I have a sneaky suspicion Bartise would have gotten bored with his arm candy as he had no good answer. Raven’s type seems to be someone interested in more than her body. There are better men in the world then Bartise the superficial and SK the snake. Her best option was clearly not on the show at all.
Honestly, raven was my favorite in that season. I seriously hope she doesn’t internalize the complete bullshit that Yoruba demon dealt her. I wish her nothing but the best, and she finds fulfillment in her new relationship💛💛
Remember everyone thought Raven was the player? Even her friends said she wasn't ready to commit. That's why it was so easy to believe that they were faking their relationship the whole time. The side pieces believed it. I almost believed it. I also wondered why she was on the show, but I don't blame her for falling for him. Some people are slow to commit and give up some independence, but loyal once they're in love. So props to Raven for representing a different type of woman.
You look absolutely radiant in that shade of ash toned blonde. It makes your eyes pop and compliments your cool complexion. You always look gorgeous, I'm just saying this blonde looks amazing on you.
Bro the man said "my father is polygamous" and y'all fell for his "i wanna be different" speech?! This is why we as women will forever get played 😭😭😭😭 I also tend to think i have extreme views on cheating and i 100% agree it is emotional abuse!
Oooo girl yasss I was hoping you'd cover this one, especially SK fooled us all! He came off so put-together, well-articulated with his emotions, seemed so kind.
Thank you for sharing your feelings about cheating being abusive. I agree, it is absolutely an abuse of power and abuse of trust. I could be in an open relationship knowing my boundaries are in place and respected, but one you lie and manipulate me I’m absolutely crushed.
Yeeep I remember that comment from episode 1! I definitely heard it and went, "oh he doesn't date black girls" but then as she show went on and he seemed genuinely interested in Raven I was hopeful. And then the cheating allegations came out, I looked at who he was with, and I was like "I fucking knew it!!!" We all really should trust our gut more.
I didn't even watch the show and all I needed to hear was that he was Nigerian... and hate to say but as a Nigerian-American girl... I'm not surprised. And they do say that some black men that like white girls will slowly work their way to their preference. The girls will get lighter and lighter until they get their blonde haired white girl.
As much as I get reasons as to why people tell certain lies, whenever somebody is willing to constantly lie about things that aren’t necessary to hide or things they shouldn’t really be hiding, I find that to be a huge red flag.
You should turn the Gabriel’s infernos into like 2 or 3 movies in one video. You got me invested but I can’t watch it to find out the disappointing ending 😂 love you Kennie I’ve been in a place emotionally lately and rewatching all of your videos and especially BMAB makes me feel like I’ve got a friend and feel like things are ok. 🖤🖤🖤 hope you’re so well!
What really did it for me has the fact that he complained all the time about the colleague expenses and not having money money to travel WHILE making trips to europe... no wonder money has tight, this guy... he played the klong game, he knew exactly what to say to Raven to trap her, scary
Just watching this season and the Moment I heard His from my country, I started laughing and praying at same time, Am like Sk don’t give Nigerian men bad name pls we have a lot already please be one of the good once, only for me to come on TH-cam and heard that my guy has been around the block 😭😭SK why ..?
I've also had these thoughts if cheated is a kind of abuse. Because people can be legit traumatised and have huge trust issues if they have been cheated on in the past. I guess one of the main arguments why it's not is because it simply is so common? I would like to hear other peoples thoughts on this
As a Nigerian girl, I kept one eye open with SK because these Naija men will hide a whole nother secret family in a different city from their original family with ease and not a stain on their conscience... insanity
As a non-Nigerian, I saw people tweet similarly to what you said here. I am shouting into the void: why is this so rampant where I'm from too?! Who is writing the how-to manual, international edition?!
See, and how do you even do that!? Sometimes people hide a whole 3-4 secret families with a bunch of kids along with their main one!?
@@lizzyrank5405 THIS. Talking to one person exhausts me, lying to THAT many people is crazy.
yyup! i'm nigerian and liberian and i was like....hmmmm
Oh no 🤦🏾♀️ most Nigerian dudes (there are a lot of them where I work) are smooth talkers.
We went from Cole being the bad guy, to Bartiste being the actual terrorist, to SK being the actual demon. If anything this season has showed us how incredible these guys are at being awful. It’s like you don’t think it can get any worse and someone pops up and says ‘hold my beer’. It’s genuinely equal parts fascinating and terrifying.

The only reason everyone thought SK was such a good guy is because he wasn't loud. Just think about that. That's how easy it is. All you have to do is be quiet, don't act like you need a massive amount of attention from everyone and occasionally say "It's what's inside that counts." And women will think you're a good guy. 🤣🤣🤣 we are doomed.
Truly. We just want someone to treat us as a human. That is how low the bar is for some of us.
This is truly eye opening
So Acrimony was right. Gotta watch out for the quiet ones! XD
This reminds me of a quote from a Jenny Nicholson video that goes something like “maybe he’s not a nice boy, maybe he’s just a quiet boy”. Just because someone isn’t shoving into your face how much they suck doesn’t mean they don’t, it just means they’re smart enough to hide it
Reminds me of Jenny Nicholson's video on Dear Evan Hansen. "Maybe he isn't a nice boy, maybe he's just a quiet boy."
I don’t even know why I let SK, a man, disappoint me. That’s my fault I blame me 😂😂
Don't let him reverse uno your mental hun, its his fault!

Let’s not victim blame now 😅

thank god she’s covering this. no way I could’ve watched these people interact again without the buffer of Kendall
Lol same
Yes!😂 I started seeing clips and I’m like where’s Kendall🥲
I saw the discourse on twitter and was hoping Kennie would cover it 😭🫶🏻
THAT PART
I’ve been waiting, and Kendall is here for the messy
As a woman of color, I’ve def found “not my type” to be a dog whistle for “you’re not white”
THIS RIGHT HERE.
mjm, exactly. this the one right here. ‼️
When he said that he was happy about the pods and women not being able to know his race/judge him based on his race, that told me everything I needed to know.
This. And if women are also fat, it means both.
EXACTLY
My African self was disappointed but not surprised… if men are gonna have ONE thing it’s the audacity 💀
🤣🤣🤣
😂
I love how none of us was surprised
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He wasn't attracted to... her? I remember watching the show and thinking that SK wasn't attractive 😭 Raven can do better than him in every way
Lol I’m willing to bet everybody watching this show saw her as out of his league! Lol he cheated with a women on his level for sure but treated her like shit too so honestly that guy is disgusting.
I had not watched any of Kennie's love is blind videos and this one autoplayed for me in the background and when I heard that he wasn't attracted to her, I looked up how she looked like and I was just stunned. She is GORGEOUS and besides her looks, the clips i looked up and the podcast episode I watched just showed her being so sweet and just overall a relaxing person to listen to talk.
My only interaction with Love is Blind is watching Kendall cover it. As it should be.
No cause same
Period. After season one, no thank you.
I watch Nikki Starr review it too
Same.
saaaaame, i only want to see these people dragged lol
SK really decided to show the "Yoruba Demon" trope to the whole world.
NOOOO 😭😭💀
Exactly. Typical Yoruba demon
🤣🤣💀
Frrrr😭
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THIS 😂
what really grinds my gears past the cheating is the fact that in the show and after show he constantly LIED about finances. every second he was talking about how in order to get married yadda yadda he had to be stable and even in the aftershow he tells the guys that making long distance work was “expensive” but he flying everybody n they mama all over the world. men always have the audacity.
Damn 😳🤔 I didn't even think about that but you're right he didn't want to pay for Ravens appt and he initially broke up due to money and time yet they got together and he's off having like multiple side chicks and dating Raven.
Hahaha it’s expensive because he’s paying for every other girl. This reminds me of a guy I almost dated. He was a very successful engineer (now works with NASA) and I looked through his phone. With me he paid for everything BUT when I saw the plethora of women he was talking to ( BTW this is a country white guy 👱🏻♂️) I couldn’t believe it. He would tell every other girl how he was “broke” and if they wanted to stop by his home 🏡. Some actually believed him and would agree to even pay 💰 for his dinner 🙄🤦🏽♀️ the whole “forward” empowerment thing. What they didn’t know he was spending most of his check on me. I’m not easy at all and he was pulling all the stops. He paid out for trips with me, He paid my rent , My groceries, shopping 🛍️, etc. when I saw how he talked to other women, I cut it off. 🤷🏽♀️ A man will do anything to keep you around. Although we were not “official “ that didn’t matter to me. If he’s like that trying to get with me, you think he’ll stop in a relationship? Yeah, no. he’s no different than SK. SK has money, and can obviously afford it.
Poc men looking for non poc woman validation is so gross and sad. I’m a black woman and recently had this convo with an Asian man about how supposedly we are the “least desired on dating apps” his attitude was to prove to whites he is more than just Asian while my attitude was “ I’m not interested in who’s not interested in me” he was baffled
Ugh… that “proving” attitude actually makes me gag. Why you checking so hard for people who’re not checking for you??? 🤨
So many people misread/misinterpreted that study. Black women were least likely to be responded to by white men, while Asian men were least likely to be responded to by white women. It's so typical of this society to only view attractiveness through the lens of what straight white people find attractive. Black women were most likely to be responded to by East/South Asian men, Hispanic Men, and Indigenous Men (literally everyone except white men). Black men were most likely to get a response from white women.
He sounds rather pathetic.
As an Asian man, find me him and let me fly kick him. Problem solved
Exactly, date the best man for the job(race being very last thought).
Kennie in that wig is such a good look fr fr
Ikr?! It's amazing ✨✨
Glamorous!
Love it
She looks gorgeous ✨
I need my fellow African girlies to confirm that SK's behaviour did not shock us lmao...
Yup. Not a bit.
had no hope from the start😂
It did not
Not even a little
Not in the least bit shocked. These men will embarrass you.
I remember how you talked about SK's family being so welcoming to Raven in the last vid, and now in hindsight I realized they were just shocked/happy to see he brought home a woman of color. That and the way they comforted Raven after SK said no at the altar, knowing that she really wasn't his type.
Its ok to say BLACK. Like being a black woman isnt some icky thing
@@Confettifun That's not what that means, women of cool isn't a synonym for black it means any non-white woman, so Asian, Latina, etc. etc. included. The original comment is trying to say SK probably wouldn't find a woman attractive if she doesn't look white white which is why the family was shocked about Raven being brought around
@@Confettifun we aren’t saying black is a dirty word. We’re saying that he hasn’t brought ANY woman of color, as in Asian women, brown women, Latina women, *or* black women. Stop looking into things that aren’t there
@@Confettifun Well she's not black shes black and WHITE and yall acting like she looks far from white. Raven phenotypically looks closer to a white person than black gtfoh bout "he brought a woman of color home"???? She damn near white what the fuck... yall tripping.
@@Confettifun Raven is mixed but okay.
Growing up Black in suburbia wasn't always easy, but it definitely taught me all the coded ways men say "I only date white women," so I side eyed SK from the jump. And my personality is very similar to Raven's; all the hate she was getting for being "snobby" got on my nerves lol.
The wig is flawless btw omg!!
I feel like any woman, especially black woman, who is independent and stands up for herself in the same way Raven did would get hated for that and be insulted for that. Personally that's the kinda person I aspire to be.
@@princessofhell4639 Yep! She just had standards and was clear about what she expected. I did like that she said that the experience on the show helped her with being more vulnerable - shows that she is open to growing and changing.
I love Raven the most out of all the women who’ve come on LIB! Butttt my first impression of her wasn’t the best 😅 mostly because of how the show showed her not listening to Cole while working out 😂
@@laurenneves7144 Lmao I forgot about that 😂 That was pretty rude lol.
@@laurenneves7144 it was bartiste that was opening up and she was exercising, but in the aftermath of Bart and his partner in the show he probably deserved that tbh. Dude is probably so irresistible to not try and take him down a peg for his cockiness and inflated ego she must have heard something we didn’t in that moment of him talking.
I don't know why people question singleness nowadays. Especially when there are so many examples of why its better to be by yourself. A lot of these couples don't make it look like its worth the effort.
For real. I even look at some marriage relationships and I’m like ???? It’s so unappealing
@@moethemoon I think healthy relationships are beautiful. There's so much toxic mess though. It sucks. I'd rather be alone than in one of these soul crushing situations.
@@CariDMM same here! i also think that how relationships are so commercialized has a role to play in toxic relationships
@@happyxdragon1215 yes. Its promoted a lot in the media.
The only reason to question singleness is taxes 😂
before y'all jump to Brennon as the last bastion of hope for the men of this season, please remember that he was criminally charged for assault (throwing his ex against the wall, knocking her unconscious) and was dealing with that case literally WEEKS before filming started 💀
the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence, as is generally the case with these types of allegations since it's very hard to prove without witnesses, but it by no means makes it go away. i'd say Brennon is definitely in the bottom tier of most nefarious, dangerous men on the entire show.
WOW so every dude in this show just straight up sucks
i didn’t even know about this. wow. alexa, play niggas ain’t shit by doja cat pls
@@arabellascomet I thought you meant his wife 😭😂😭
Good God 😧! I was really sitting here thinking, "Wow, everyone's gonna be watching Brennon like a hawk waiting for the slip up". Little did I know...
HUH????
I think my favorite part about SK is his brother. His brother kept calling him out throughout the show and in after the alter. The whole “know the return policy” for the engagement ring shopping wasn’t just a joke that man knows his brother
Never surprised by some dude cheating, but CONSTANTLY surprised by the number of people willing to get on a plane to go meet up with someone. Like?? I can't be bothered to drive longer than twenty minutes for a date smh.
I was really flabbergasted when this all came out. Kennie often says that you have to hate someone to cheat on them but I think it's more about being incredibly selfish and not giving af about someone else's feeling. Not hate but simply not caring, which i find more insidious.
That’s the only way I can wrap my brain around it as well. An utter and complete lack of awareness, to the degree that you don’t really see other people as real in the same way as yourself.
there’s also not much to like about raven, her whole personality is pilates. idk how great of a wife prospect she rly is 😂 i’m not saying he’s better than her i’m saying they made sense together
In some degrees, I think it can be a form of hate. Or self hate, projected.
@@abbyz13 i'd rather hang out with someone whose entire personality is made up of pilates than whatever garbage yours is made of 🤷♀
It can be both, indifference and hatred can mix.
I completely agree. Cheating is massive emotional abuse and has so many life threatening risks that come with STDs and random strangers in your relationship you’re not even aware of. It doesn’t get the full credit for the toll it has on the innocent spouse.
Completely agree
I will never understand people's casual-ness towards cheating, especially after my ex hubs beat tf out of me because he was paranoid I was cheating while HE WAS SLEEPING AROUND with like God endless amount of street trash for years dude. I'm currently getting the queen treatment from a wonderful man now though, whose shown me nothing but respect and pure unselfish love I was forced to believe I didn't deserve ❤️
I’m so sorry you had to go through that.
you deserve it 👏 💓
@@carrained thank you very much, I've lost so much when I escaped (including almost my entire mouth of teeth after several hours of a steel toe boot to my face that I still haven't be able to afford to fix, my 2 babies, and the very little I'd ever had) but I'm alive. Despite how hard it is to be grateful I'm still here, I'm definitely trying. Your kindness helps so much❤️❤️
@@blubberingbuffoons thank you so much for the kind words 🙏❤️
I'm glad you were able to escape that hell. No woman deserves that. ❤️
Kennie's wigs always look sooo good.
Frr they always look so put together🤭did she ever mention where they’re from?
@@boiwhatdahellboi69 Seriously! I need to know! lol
@@boiwhatdahellboi69 Some are from Hair Vivi
I’m sorry but this just made me envision you eating her wig
I feel like I was the only one who peeped SK calling out Bartab opening up to Nancy about their guy chats on the reunion. Like, he didn't care about what Barbarella was doing to Nancy, he only cared him exposing their locker room chat. It was clear to me then that he had something to hide.
BARTAB!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Barbarella took me out 🤣🤣
I saw a lot of people say that SK assumed Raven was white while they were in the pods and that’s why he was so interested in her
She is half white; isn’t she?
I knew he could not be trusted since the wedding! He gave no sign of doubts during the whole process, he always said he was sure about getting married to Raven, he always spoke about how in love he was with her and what a great catch she was… but then, out of the blue, he said no! And his mother showed more consideration towards Raven than him… I knew he was a player with that shift!
You know, when watching the clips in kennie’s first video I was under the impression that he was never really into it. Though he did fool me in the sense that I wanted to root for an ambitious, articulated Nigerian, he always gave the vibe of someone who only said what everyone else wanted to hear. He clearly had other plans for his future.
but raven never seemed into it either idk people act like he broke her heart but she was unsure about him the whole time and every time she talked to her friends it’s like none of them were impressed. when he said no at the alter i feel like she fake cried cause she was relieved n smiling a bit too 😂
@@abbyz13 are you SK? I keep seeing you trying to diss Raven under every comment
@@p.a.681right??? Like they got some bitterness for Raven that seems 👀
SK that you? Or maybe miss A?
If not, I’m feeling some projection/insecurities cause it’s a reality show. If you think they’re going to show us the full nuance of a person…
In hindsight his mother was probably so nice to Raven because she was the first woman he brought home that was black😭😭
what you said about SK seemingly being a good guy which makes the cheating more malicious really struck a cord in me. my ex was one of those "really good guys" - and he was - but he still betrayed my trust and cheated, and i could never wrap my head around that. in the end, none of his family or friends were on my side because they couldn't believe he would do something like that, and because next to him, i was more flawed and less likeable. really shitty situation to be in and my heart goes out to raven.
About your comment about Brennan being the last good guy of this season - it turns out he has allegations of domestic violence for beating his girlfriend a few months before season 3 started filming I believe. So all the guys this season just suck
I cannot take this anymore 🤯
Sorry, but zanab is trash too. Another walking red flag.
@@janelleejade literally google it. The police reports are everywhere
@@janelleejade You could try googling it. For example “Brennan love is blind assault”. I’m reading about it right now.
"SK has ruined everything for himself, good. Bitch." I felt that 😭 And I definitely agree about cheating being abusive. The amount of trauma it can cause, the potential of putting their partner's health at risk, its a form of emotional abuse. We've just been so desensitized to it because of how rampant and shameless its become.
Did anyone else hear about how Better Help is sharing your information with Facebook and how the therapists aren’t treated well?
It’s so much more than the information sharing and shitty pay and working condition for therapists. They have gotten into trouble for not having licensed therapists in the past. Now there are still TONS of reports of terrible therapists (using the bathroom during video sessions, talking more about themselves than the client, etc.) As a therapist myself better help is TERRIBLE for both therapists and clients!
I was hoping someone would mention the BetterHelp sponsorship 😭 I’m very glad that Kennie found a great therapist but I need someone to let her know the nasty things BetterHelp has been doing to their clients and therapists alike
@@jaworsangenuine question , are they not allowed to use the bathroom?
@@yugen8195 I mean they used the bathroom while on camera in the middle of the session
some of these therapists aren't even licensed therapists. I do not recommend using them there's so much issues surrounding better help
Agreed. Cheating is abusive-and not just emotionally. The act of cheating is immensely manipulative and vile behavior. To claim you love another, but can’t even spare the other from hurt by breaking up before moving on is wild to me. People who do this would rather mentally and emotionally twist their partner’s mind to avoid responsibility, and in some cases, “donate” an STI to them. Mtchew
The wig was worth the wait tbh, it looks a m a z i n g
As a Nigerian woman it just irks me that in three seasons of love is blind, the messiest mess was SK. Just urgh. Couldn’t he even try to NOT?
A Zebra can not change its stripes, if you know you know
I liked Raven because to me she was so straightforward with him on the show. She definitely did hold her emotions close to her heart, and she was so so soooo relatable! I watched the podcast this morning and was like “oh Raven is really me fr” and that’s terrifying. Cuz that just lets me know that even I could be manipulated and lied to. I’m always saying shit to my friends like, “Girl that could never be me.” Like no, Jay, that really could be you 😭I’m throwing out the idea of reconnecting with ex-friends and entering a romantic relationship this year. No need to risk the minuscule amount of happiness I have right now lmfaooo
this is a genuine question. What about making new friends first? I feel like people try to have unrealistic expectations of themselves to predict all possible shit that is going to happen to them (including being deceived by people). But in reality, people who are talking to anybody with the hopes of an ideal outcome in any interaction (romantic or platonic) tend to be narrowly focused on people and won't catch anything suspect that you or anybody else would notice from an outsider's perspective. Anyways, hope next year treats you with healthy relationships 🤙
@@notmyhairyarmpits you seem like you’d make a good friend❤
@@notmyhairyarmpits what i meant to say was that I’m throwing my plan of actively looking for something, like going out of my way to find a date or perfect bf, ya know? If I run into someone nice while I’m at my local cafe then I’ll just… go with the flow and what happens happens. But LOOKING for love? SEARCHING for a best friend? A texting buddy? Nah, I’m gonna chill on that mentally. I talk to people simply cuz I like talking and don’t really expect anything to come from interactions with new ppl. For the most part, I pick up on red flags pretty well and dip before everything completely blows up in my face. And even if i do have certain expectations and get blinded, then that’s on me and I gotta work through it 😂💕 thanks for the well wishes haha
That’s why I never bought into the Raven slander. She didn’t appeal to white ppl because she wasn’t bubbly or easy to take advantage. She got a lot of hate for having expectations and boundaries, I believe, lately due to being a black (black adjacent) woman.
Raven is my favourite girl on the show period. Very down to earth, honest and you can tell she is real.
The reason I side eyed him from the moment he opened his mouth in the very first episode is because he did up a whole monologue basically revealing that he was hoping this show would connect him with a non-Black woman. He told on himself openly with all that talk of hoping the women could "look across the fence" and detailing his experiences on dating apps where he basically didn't have the access to non-Black women that he wanted because they must not have wanted to deal with someone with his skin tone. So this alone put him on my shit list. And seeing everyone fawn over him for acting like a seemingly well adjusted adult was wild as hell lmao. It's clear now that he's thirsty for white women specifically, and somehow Raven wasn't even enough. As beautiful as she is!!!!!!! He's a greedy, colorist dog that doesn't deserve nice things and I want us as women to stop commending men for putting forth the bare minimum. Like, we really gotta set the bar higher cause these dudes are getting away with murder out here fr 😭
wait didn’t SK say on the show he was in school so he can’t take care of Raven yet he flying girls out to baecations monthly
An excuse to not commit and keep her at a distance to cheat
season one was messy but it didn't give me PTSD.. but every season afterward and then the ultimatum caused emotional distress I fear
I just want another season 1.. if they keep up with this they are going to lose so many viewers… season 2 & 3 were stressful.
Season One had just the right amount of messy drama, and we had the wholesomeness of Cameron and Lauren in between the messiness to even it out.
Season 3 was just an absolute dumpster fire. I think after the success of the first season, more people are coming on the show just for their 15 minutes of fame rather than actually wanting to find a life partner. And the people who are actually there for marriage become collateral damage.
@@bunsbuns9072perfectly said
SK really is a walking stereotype through and through. I hope Raven is continues to thrive and live her best life.
Haitian woman, and I sussed SK. The stories I have about women in my family who have husbands with whole second, third, fourth, fifth families in Haiti and secret children. Married for green card, started arguments so they can live mostly in Haiti to start new families and businesses without telling their wife type drama. I started watching Nigerian media years ago and saw way too many similarities in culture to trust SK. I would have liked to be wrong. He made one comment about men having control of the TV remote, and I don't know why, but it was a full "no" for me after that. Something about it seemed too familiar.
I’m Nigerian and I’ll fully admit that a large percentage of my positive feelings for SK were due to the fact that he appeared to be breaking stereotypes for both Nigerian men as well as AA men in general. So, you weren’t alone in that mindset!
Brennan was arrested for domestic violence against his partner. All of the men were horrid
😮
SK dug himself a grave and is going out of his way to bury himself. Like why go out of your way to propose to someone when you're going to cheat, I've had tdayhat happen to me and it was so painful (I literally cried for days when I found out).
Ok so here's the thing. If you're broken up, non exclusive, or in muddy waters relationship wise, it's not really cheating - if you agree that it's okay to see other people. But if you lie? If you gotta lie, then 1. you know it's wrong, 2. you show that you're not trustworthy, and 3. you don't care about your partner's wellbeing.
If you gotta lie, then what you did is wrong. That's it. It's the Ross and Rachel thing all over again: it's not about the technicality of "on a break/not on a break". It's about whether or not you're ready to hurt the other person. And if you're going to lengths trying to hide it, you don't gotta get on your high horse about being on a break. It's in bad faith.
Right!? I was thinking the same thing about being the Ross and Rachel thing
It will never cease to amaze me how often people cheat, and how there’s no safeguard against it. Raven is drop dead gorgeous, and while we can’t say much about her personality just from a show, she did turn down Bartiste and stayed loyal to SK because he was (seemingly) a man with more depth. My dad also cheated on my mum, and with a woman who was a truly awful person that couldn’t hold a candle to my mother. Some people cannot appreciate what they have in the moment, and if that’s the case they should be honest and not drag others into their dissatisfaction.
i remember when things were unfolding someone said thats why SK's mom was so happy about Raven because at least she was half, she knew her son had a type for white women.
Ngl I never liked SK 😂 as a Nigerian gal myself he just struck me as a Yoruba demon from the start and I feel sO justified to have been proven right lmao
Rip to Raven though 😢
Edit: LMAOOO PROVING MY POINT AT 8:29 fr man all my Nigerian girlies knew from the startttt 💀
Disappointed but not surprised, tbh.😂 Average Nigerian male L
I felt so bad for Kennie when she was rooting for him. I was just thinking ‘girl you just wait’. 😂😂
You warned us, we were just holding on hope- glad you get to hold it over our head now because DAMN you deserve it, we really should have listened
i could tellll he likes white girls.... he just has the upper lip of a black man who likes white girls lmaooo--- like they're always sniffing
You just need to have west African roots to know
are you telling me I've been watching Kennie for 2 years now and just now I realized I'm a home skilled biscuit? 😂
Welcome😁
I noticed SK was pretty quiet after the show aired. Everyone else was going on podcasts but he wasn't. Raven was talking about their relationship but he wasn't....but I figured he was quiet and shy and focusing on school 🙄
What was his endgame though? He wasn't into Raven so he could have just walked away. He said no at the altar, end of story. There was no need to do what he did and there was especially no need to get engaged. What was he doing? Cheating is always unnecessary but this was ESPECIALLY unnecessary since he pursued Raven when he knew he likes blonde white girls!
Kennie is the only reason I even know what's happening in love is blind. Whenever it trends on twitter I'm always surprised that i know everyone's names n dramas 😓 this is gonna be fun tho, i love kennie's analysis 🤭
I was really rooting for this Nigerian man too 😭 like I wanted him to be the exception so bad but he was somehow worse! Normal Nigerian men just cheat, he built a whole sociopathic false persona to gaslight US *and* his fiancé
SK is a covert narcissist and I knew it from the way he blindsided Raven very publicly at the altar and spoke ill of her behind the cameras, never expressing his needs to her personally/making her believe it'd be a yes.
SK locking himself in the van with the producer was it for me 😭
Ok we need to acknowledge this GORGEOUS makeup ✨
Those lashes? With the shine of the eyeshadow? And the wig? This look is so powerful. I’m talking anime protagonist after they remember their friends are depending on them powerful
These situations make me so angry, because why was he doing so much? Why propose? Why can't you be transparent and honest? He sucks
Not going to lie you are good at analyzing couples and also good at being a drama channel.
right! I'm hoping she'll cover more reality tv shows
I didnt believe anything SK said from the beginning. He wasn't even concerned about Bartise's infatuation with Raven in the beginning. I pretty much expected this.
I felt like he wasn't truly interested and had something on the side and that he preferred yt women which does sound too on the nose but here we are.
I said the same thing in another comment! He always seemed to only say what people wanted to hear when in reality he was never that interested. People always expose themselves through the little things they say and do, though, and even if he was trying to lay low it was apparent he had other ideas in mind.
I remember saying this to my friend and applauding Raven’s friends for interrogating him and ppl were really swept up by SK. Like please my West African alarms were going OFFFFF
SK is the definition of TRIFILING 💀
I really thought SK was genuine. I remembered what he said about women on dating apps and figured he like most black men was obsessed with getting a white woman. I figured raven is beautiful and light skin enough to be ok but guess not.
i thought the same thing
Same
I literally just made tea, and now I'm here for the tea ☕
3:43 I see no one has told Kennie about the assault case yet
Thanks for the time line! I listened to parts of the podcast but it got really confusing, but you helped clear it up!
THE WHAT??!!
You can’t just drop this and not elaborate 😭
@MikkyLuvs Okay so basically shortly before Brennan went on the show he was dating this girl and he beat her up (real crazy stuff, threw her against the wall and was punching her even after she got knocked out). A case and police report were filed against him but the jury dropped the case.
@Moe The Moon ^ I explained above but I can also link some articles
@@marinasanders7273 Holy shiitake mushrooms
«believing SK was off» is not about believing that good people, good trustworthy men don’t exist. to me at least. of course they do. the reason he pretty quickly creeped me out is because he was always perfectly composed. extremely polite and smooth, mild demeanor. words carefully picked out, tone always even. not one asperities in sight. i’m not talking about wearing your flaws on your sleeves, just small regular human stuff, idk. a small thing: a high pitched laugh, a weird interest, a nervous habit, a funny facial expression. a peculiar word used often when speaking. something, any tiny thing to show me you’re not an actual robot. i’ve met people like that in real life and at the time thought they were just very polite and mild mannered. i run in the opposite direction now, that’s a demon.
So glad you're doing this, no one I know likes this dumpster fire of a show 😅... you said Brennan is the only guy left that's okay but I heard he had domestic abuse charges pressed against him like right before the show was filmed 😬 all these dudes are a messsss
Omg I can't believe they let him go on the show. I know there wasn't enough evidence, but that's a huge liability on their part if he were to hurt another contestant.
@T C 100%, ever since hearing about the charges I've been super concerned for all of the women around him. I know Alexa comes across as a strong woman but that's never stopped someone from abusing a person before :(
@@TC-ku4vv Plus "not enough evidence" for assault often means "the bruises healed" or "she told her friends it wasn't a big deal"
domestic abuse charges??? 😲 aww nah, they're all trash!
@@TC-ku4vv Probably purposeful. Mind you if they find a guy who's all around nice and well adjusted he wouldn't be on the show
I couldn’t 100% get on the SK bandwagon. He seemed to be one of the better guys there (low bar) at face value but when I thought about real world big picture my knee jerk reaction was “Why are you here?” He’s in his 30’s going to undergrad full time from a traditional Nigerian family and he paused his life to enter a reality tv show to find a wife!? He has no real job. He’s living on financial aid. He’s old enough that if he was truly mature he would not have even been on the show. Like you put your life on hold to go back to school full time to then put your life on hold to go on a reality dating show where the goal is to get a wife. Marriage is a legal contract. Why are you trying to subject a woman to being your benefactor for the next 3-4 years?? Shouldn’t you be in class? Add on the fact that he comes from a very traditional family so his exposure to marriage roles has also been very traditional and the cynical part of me knew that he wasn’t showing his true colors on the show. His actions that brought him to the show read as someone trying to find himself and enjoying the ride along the way ( maybe even somewhat impulsive). That does not match the ultra mature, worldly person that he tried to present himself as.
Exactly! His story did not make sense to me! His main ambitions were totally incompatible with the goal of the show. I figured that the incongruence was also because he needed a bit of money. It was obvious that even his family was not convinced by all of it, and they know him best. He put on airs.
Kennie really always here for us, thanks for the breakdown 💅🏾
I don't even watch Love Is Blind, but when I saw this video after I returned from the store, I dropped EVERYTHING. Homework can wait!!
I'm happy for Raven for finding out because YOU KNOW he would have kept going
Hi Kennie, viewer from Nigeria here ❤ and I definitely was not surprised by SK’s behavior at all.
Nigerian men will disgrace you 😂😂
Your video on season three was actually what got me into Love is Blind, and now I’m hooked
So SK likes his women thick, mildly chunky, with a whisper of ratchet, preferably pale… yeah Raven was definitely not his type. I remember when his face was like “what’s Pilates” 😂 Kind of sad that she probably would’ve had a better failed relationship with Bartista afterall🥴
Heck naw, Bartiste was exactly the opposite of what she was looking for.
@@TheDawnofVanlife atleast she was his “type” and even tho Barista is an asshole, he’s not pathological like SK😭.
@@WilliamsPinch He didn’t seem like her type tho. Like her biggest question to him was basically ‘and what do we have in common besides the gym’. I have a sneaky suspicion Bartise would have gotten bored with his arm candy as he had no good answer. Raven’s type seems to be someone interested in more than her body. There are better men in the world then Bartise the superficial and SK the snake. Her best option was clearly not on the show at all.
Honestly, my X who was Haitian is into the same white esthetic even though I'm Hella light skinned myself.
Honestly, raven was my favorite in that season. I seriously hope she doesn’t internalize the complete bullshit that Yoruba demon dealt her. I wish her nothing but the best, and she finds fulfillment in her new relationship💛💛
Seeing you on the Netflix teaser was awesome. I totally fan girled lol
Remember everyone thought Raven was the player? Even her friends said she wasn't ready to commit. That's why it was so easy to believe that they were faking their relationship the whole time. The side pieces believed it. I almost believed it. I also wondered why she was on the show, but I don't blame her for falling for him. Some people are slow to commit and give up some independence, but loyal once they're in love. So props to Raven for representing a different type of woman.
The timeline is everything, thanks for getting to this situation and making it easier to understand what the situation was all in one place
You look absolutely radiant in that shade of ash toned blonde. It makes your eyes pop and compliments your cool complexion. You always look gorgeous, I'm just saying this blonde looks amazing on you.
Glad you talked about this. These people are so terrible I couldn’t get invested in After the Alter. But it’s nice to get a decent timeline
Bro the man said "my father is polygamous" and y'all fell for his "i wanna be different" speech?! This is why we as women will forever get played 😭😭😭😭 I also tend to think i have extreme views on cheating and i 100% agree it is emotional abuse!
I want you to do 'diary of a Mad black woman' soooo bad. That movie is legendary
Also White Chick's very similar. Those two.
Oooo girl yasss I was hoping you'd cover this one, especially SK fooled us all! He came off so put-together, well-articulated with his emotions, seemed so kind.
As someone who’s on again off again boyfriend disappointed me ON MY BIRTHDAY for the last time, this is cathartic
Please continue to cover all the Love is Blind mess. I absolutely love all your takes
Not the actual timeline insert 😆 Kennie IM SCREAMING
Thank you for sharing your feelings about cheating being abusive. I agree, it is absolutely an abuse of power and abuse of trust. I could be in an open relationship knowing my boundaries are in place and respected, but one you lie and manipulate me I’m absolutely crushed.
A lot of people (except for any woman who is Nigerian)felt bamboozled by this but mainly Raven and I hope she is doing well.
The most scariest person ever is one who lies when they don't even have to 😳
Yeeep I remember that comment from episode 1! I definitely heard it and went, "oh he doesn't date black girls" but then as she show went on and he seemed genuinely interested in Raven I was hopeful. And then the cheating allegations came out, I looked at who he was with, and I was like "I fucking knew it!!!" We all really should trust our gut more.
I didn't even watch the show and all I needed to hear was that he was Nigerian... and hate to say but as a Nigerian-American girl... I'm not surprised. And they do say that some black men that like white girls will slowly work their way to their preference. The girls will get lighter and lighter until they get their blonde haired white girl.
The way you put it makes it sound so much more insidious than it already is 😨
So cool to see you in the season 4 trailer!!!! Is someone at Netflix a biscuit?
As much as I get reasons as to why people tell certain lies, whenever somebody is willing to constantly lie about things that aren’t necessary to hide or things they shouldn’t really be hiding, I find that to be a huge red flag.
Notice how we say "man" when we're disappointed
This is a solid gold comment
You should turn the Gabriel’s infernos into like 2 or 3 movies in one video. You got me invested but I can’t watch it to find out the disappointing ending 😂 love you Kennie I’ve been in a place emotionally lately and rewatching all of your videos and especially BMAB makes me feel like I’ve got a friend and feel like things are ok. 🖤🖤🖤 hope you’re so well!
What really did it for me has the fact that he complained all the time about the colleague expenses and not having money money to travel WHILE making trips to europe... no wonder money has tight, this guy... he played the klong game, he knew exactly what to say to Raven to trap her, scary
Just watching this season and the Moment I heard His from my country, I started laughing and praying at same time, Am like Sk don’t give Nigerian men bad name pls we have a lot already please be one of the good once, only for me to come on TH-cam and heard that my guy has been around the block 😭😭SK why ..?
This is the content I didn't know I needed from Kennie! Also you look amazing 😍😍
I've also had these thoughts if cheated is a kind of abuse. Because people can be legit traumatised and have huge trust issues if they have been cheated on in the past. I guess one of the main arguments why it's not is because it simply is so common? I would like to hear other peoples thoughts on this
As a Nigerian 'Yoruba Demon'....Not surprising 🙆🏾♀️🙆🏾♀️ I feel bad for Raven, but there's a reason why they're avoided 🤣🤣
Not him now trying to blame her and say she was texting some old man!
When she said “I might as well just pack my “P” up and go on holiday.” I literally spit out my water laughing. 😂😂 that killed me
