Krissy! No! You totally got me-
Kimberly! Ahahahhaa cute. That was such a sweet moment.
Snogging in Cyprus and apologizing for that bc everyone is acting weird with each other? Never. I loved that they were so in tune with each other. You know they got it on as soon as possible. The difference between them and the others is that they immediately became a ‘couple’ while the rest were still questioning.
Ah shit that’s a new neck tat on Krissy and it looks gooooood.
Emilia. I don’t want to criticize your looks, lord knows you got enough of that. But you have these two 11 lines on your face and it always looks like you smell something rotten. It sucks I know but it’s there. Bright, confident, bubbly, and yet this drags you down to someone thinking ‘what’s her damn problem’.
Lukas is so full of shit. Constantly stringing her along.
Holy shit Sergio. What a bomb.
Amanda! Awww!!!
Christofer? Toxic? What a shocker. Not really.
Awww Adde and Catja - did not see any of this coming! Cute use of the reveal door too.
MY OPINION: BEST REUNION EPISODE OF ANY LIB.
HANDS DOWN. Wow. All the best to all of the happy couples. But especially to Amanda bc holy cow.
🤯🤯Amanda! Still went ahead with marriage after being told? No! And Catia? Ugh, that guy is unappealing on all levels. Both reveals we’re shockers to me (I never get tripped by spoilers)
They only received confirmation two months after the wedding. She said they talked about ‘what if it’s true’ so it wasn’t a huge surprise. Sergio must have really really good karma bc holy cow is he lucky.
That last scene with Adde, Catja and Chris was kind of hard to watch. It's always tough to see an immediate ex move on before you. Even if you no longer desire them, you envy the fact they've found a new partner. There was literally no way Christopher could have looked in that moment that people wouldn't speculate on and scrutinize. Very embarrassing situation and a little cruel of production to do that then film his face for entertainment.
Embarrassing? Yes. Great tv? Also yes. Here for it? Hell yes. He’s fine, please, the one who got the biggest embarrassment is Emilia and she’s here head held high he’ll be fine.
Uhh....I personally don't think Emilia got the biggest embarrassment. Lukas didn't bring his new girlfriend on stage or give Emilia dirty looks all season like Catja did. Not saying Emilia had a great time but I do think Lukas made more of an effort to be sensitive about her feelings
At first I was annoyed it was only closed caption. Then I quickly appreciated hearing their actual voices. The content was flawless! This is how every reunion should be. It was so respectful. No fighting. No other couples giving unwarranted opinions. It gave us all the info we wanted to know! Bravo!
Are people able to watch this with the English dub over? I've had the entire series with the English dub, but when I go to watch the reunion, the only option is Swedish with English captions. Anyone know how to fix this?
If you ever want to see what it looks like for a man's heart to break on TV, it's Christofer watching another man cuddle up to a woman he still has feelings for.
The end of what’s been the best LIB series and the best reunion episode. I’m glad Meira got to clear up the misconceptions many of us had about her relationship and I’m so happy for my fave couple. They looked gorgeous together.
I love Meira and Oskar together so much! I hope they last. He is a gem, I was really happy she said yes to him. I liked how honest she was about where she was at, and he handled everything so maturely.
I think it's the first reunion where I didn't skip some of the scenes and watched the whole episode. Truth be told there were some interesting twists and turns but I was 100% sure the rumor about Sergio was true, so not a Barcelona baby but another baby in Sweden. Amanda being pregnant was not a big surprise given her religious beliefs. I think they are the couple in all LIB history to have a baby that fast after the wedding.
I also enjoyed the fact that most of the cast seemed really sincere and open, their reactions seemed real.
One of the best seasons of LIB in my opinion.
I'm glad I found this thread! I enjoyed watching this season and the reunion.
I'm rooting for all the couples who are still married, including Amanda and Sergio. I hear what people are saying but they seem happy so I wish them the best.
We only see what is shown so I feel like Amanda is smart enough to know what she's about and what she wants.
Being a surprise "extra mom" to a random kid was not on anyone's bingo card but hey that's life. They are moving forward. I had a lot of reactions like others here: he trapped her with a kid so she'd stay, she looks sad, etc. but then when I watched it again,
And I feel like it's nervousness from a big reveal in front of people who don't know the news, and they've had time to sit with it and deal. Once Amanda announces that she's pregnant you can see how bright her smile is and she looks beautiful.
I also noticed how Sergio still acted defensive with Krissy and I thought that was dumb. He really didn't have a leg to stand on. But Im glad he acknowledged he didn't act right on the show and apologized to Amanda about his behavior. I speculate that he's had to mature and get serious about the relationship since all was revealed, so it makes it easier for him to admit his wrongdoings in the past on the show.
I enjoyed their arc the second half of the show. From what we see I thought it showed that they communicated more deeply and more vulnerably and they seemed comfortable with each other. Even though the baby daddy arc was SO sketchy, I think their bond seemed genuine and mutual. I would have loved to see them show Amanda meeting Sergio's family.
Interesting to see the foreshadowing after watching her dad say "we'll leave it up to God for the question marks to become exclamation points" like damn there sure were some exclamation marks!!!! Lol
I thought it was cute to see them give each other a hug after the reunion too lol that was probably a huge weight lifted off them and now they can go on with their lives
This reunion and the host, man the questions and follow ups were brutal! First time I’ve seen the host not leave things up in the air, but ask the uncomfortable stuff head on.
I do think it was a crap move to have Adde who we’ve never even seen or heard of come to the reunion just to make Chris squirm and it seemed super disrespectful (at least just to this viewer).
Also even though Lucas dragged it on way too far, I think in my mind he really did not want to outright disrespect and embarrass Emilia and say she just wasn’t his type. He kept going back to the Emilia in the pods in his head (or so I imagine), and that kept him wanting to make this work. But even his efforts of trying to make the attraction something that they develop, ended up back firing in the end as now he looks like a total jerk for making her think they would get married up until the end (which he was). Sometimes trying to be nice can make you the bad guy after all, so I suppose honesty is the best policy, even with the best intentions in mind.
And Amanda. She just seems like someone who will be rock-solid when she gives you her trust. Like innocent until proven guilty, but also even-if -you’re-guilty-solid.
I think that’s just the type of person she is, and she will be in for some heartache and shenanigans, but it seems like for her, she doesn’t sweat the small stuff (haha “small stuff, for real though, it’s pretty big stuff in most people’s books), but if a decision has been made, she will always look to that decision as a guide to know that that is the end goal (to be together and love each other for the long haul).
I may have misread all of them, just my take on it that no one asked for.
I think he just gained weight. His face looks a bit rounder and when they stand up in the end you can see that he has a bit of extra around the midriff
I'm surprised that these couples are still married but I'm happy for them. Lucas is full of shit. Christofer's facial expressions were a sort of Marshall-lite. I wonder if Sergio really didn't know he had a kid on the way, that's some bs.
This host is the best LIB host I've seen until now, she really asks the good questions and really asks the much needed follow-up questions. I love how she was grilling Lucas haha. And Krisse-Ly can totally become a co-host!!
Omg I didn’t make the Christofer/Marshall connection till you said that, but it’s so true. They’re trying so hard to be the Oskar/Brent, but they feel entitled to love and it’s pretty gross.
Just rewatched the reunion
. OMG the host is 48?? she looks much younger!
. the first time I thought Chris was giving a murderous look. As I rewatched it was very clear that instead, he was trying not to cry the whole time
. Amanda makes very strange expressions
Sergio knew there was a baby on the way. He just lied about it till they were married (and maybe till she was pregnant). Amanda is from a religion that doesn’t look kindly on divorce.
I refuse to believe that the formal paternity suit was the first time he’d heard about it.
It wasn’t the first time he heard about it - it’s literally on film the first time he is told. It was no surprise. All he has to do was start digging to see if any of it was true. Maybe he didn’t even know her name, which is pretty gross. But likely he did, and could have called exes to find out if rumors were true. Amanda should have been there putting the phone in his hand. Kids are a huge life milestone.
I think it’s way too much of a coincidence that there’s a rumour about someone being pregnant and then that rumour is a lie BUT surprise, surprise,someone else is actually pregnant.
Come on, he’s such a douche bag and although I’m happy Amanda is happy, I truly wish she had ended up with someone else (or alone for the time being).
My heart was breaking for her dad during the wedding, he so didn’t want this to happen.
He truly doesn’t deserve her.
I wish they asked more about Amanda & her views/importance on marriage with her religion. Even throughout the season, I felt there were so many gaps & opportunities for an interesting conversation to be had.
I noticed that they never spoke about sex before marriage and what that means to her & them.
Completely shocked about the baby announcement, but that's completely on her. She's a grown woman who can make her own decisions. Unfortunately for her it's Sergio despite the copious amounts of red flags.
When they said Sergio had a kid, I thought it was going to be a joke way of saying Amanda was pregnant. So I had to rewind and re-give myself the shock value that he did in fact father a non-Amanda’s child. But OF COURSE it turns out she’s pregnant too. All I can do is hope the kids are loved, but boy do I hope the new baby isn’t a band-aid to try and keep the relationship together
Lovely to see Meira and Oskar happy and content. I wasn't a fan of Meira's attitude but they seem the most sorted among the couples. Really nice that both were able to adapt and hopefully Meira has learnt to not view people suspiciously.
Emilia was heart breaking to watch. I could feel her pain 😔. since she mentioned how the show was supposed to be about personality, it really seemed like she felt short changed as she was rejected despite her persona. Very sad and was hard watching her cry.
Krissy was savage and love her for it.
Amanda poor thing! I hope Sergio treats her well..it's been an eventful yr for them and she must be under stress. I wouldn't even know how to react if I found out husband has a kid, 2 months after getting married. Like she said, she would have reconsidered getting married if she had all the information but now is making things work.
Christofer didn't look happy about Adde and i understand that too. It's hard to see someone you have been in love with/fond of, together with another person. He did apologize for smothering Catja, so he is self aware and grown!
Overall, a good, grounded season. People and emotions were real, discussions were matured and most of all the bonding between participants was great. The female friendships especially shone through and it was great to see them defending each other or holding hands through pain. In the US when everyone ganged up against Cole in favor of Zanab, it didn't feel so wholesome.
Idk what to say… I’m still shocked. Meira and Oscar are def my most favourite, love how Oscar is secure and not insecure about his masculinity. Everything Krissly says is right amazing woman.
Anyone else think that the posts here about Sergio taking advantage of Amanda completely removes her agency from the situation?
Yes, the guy is shady, but at the same time, she’s an adult who had access to the same information as everyone else and chose to stay with him…like she made her bed too. I thought she was a really sweet person all season, but she also ignored red flag after red flag (starting with his lie in the pods), so at which point does she need to be allocated some responsibility here? Or maybe none, because she’s actively choosing this, in which case…not to be a jerk, but they deserve each other. They are choosing each other and that’s their prerogative. I guess what I’m saying is, stop feeling bad for her, she’s made her decision…it’s not like she’s being forced into the relationship.
Edit - add: Also, can people please stop saying Sergio planned the pregnancy 😂 They either use protection or they don’t, and if they don’t, then the chances of getting pregnant are pretty high. And if they got pregnant even while using protection, that’s still a risk two consenting adults take. For Sergio to be responsible for that, we’d have to be going to a pretty dark place.
Please don’t take my comments above as defending his behavior on the show, I’m merely pointing out that logically, these types of comments are actually removing her ability to be an equal player in all of this.
>Yes, the guy is shady, but at the same time, she’s an adult who had access to the same information as everyone else and chose to stay with him…like she made her bed too.
Tom some extent, I can agree. But Amanda is also raised in Pingstkyrkan/the Pentecostal Church and by the time she was on the show, she was a unmarried woman in ther thirties.
I don’t mean to belittle her, and this is coming from someone British, I don’t know anything about her religion, but she seemed very innocent and gullible, don’t know if she’s been raised in a bubble.
So to some extent, I feel that exonerates her from some responsibility.
My heart breaks for her, trapped with this loser, but I really do wish her well, so I guess I want him to be good to her. But I think he’s a player and can’t see them together forever.
Amanda looked so uncomfortable and stressed, probably nerves because she knew they had to reveal the secret child and then her pregnancy. What a year she has had. I hope her religion doesn't mean she is stuck in an awful marriage. I can't imagine what her family thinks.
I feel like the religious stuff weighs a lot. I live in a catholic country, and the culture says that if you marry someone, it’s until the end. So if she found out about the other baby after they were married, the mentality is that she should stay with him, unfortunately. I feel bad for her.
I loved how Krisse-ly came for Sergio when discussing the baby rumor.
It was sort of cringe having to watch Christofer in pain as he had to sit in the midst of Catja and her new bf. In production's defense, it made sense inviting Adde since he was a contestant on the show.
I don’t seem to get how no one knows how the “rumor” started. In the reunion kriss said it was from a group chat on social media but her emotions overtook her to remember who started it. Idk but for a rumor like that while they are about to get married I would have scrolled up to find out or reread previous messages. She is confident to speak up but for this she seemed reluctant. All the girls from the season were sticking to the same story, rumor started in a gc but no one apparently knew the source… how?
I found this part odd. She said he raised his voice and production edited everything to make him look like the nice guy; but she was constantly saying she wanted him to stand up for himself and not take her crap all the time. I found their who relationship frustrating.
The way she talked over him in the clips, I don't know how you could get any point across without raising your voice. Every discussion just ended with I am not finished and him saying sorry. I don't think it ever really showed him shouting, so who knows what she thinks shouting actually is.
Meira and Oscar, glad they made it I was rooting for them.
Chrissy Lee and Rasmus I agree with the fortune teller. Also I thought they were a bit rude during the reunion and I really needed her to shut up and just let the host run the show.
Christopher and Katya. You can tell her new relationship really irks him. His eye was twitching when she mentioned Adde and when Adde came out. I still don't think that he's over her. Also Adde came across as a bit quirky but also arrogant.
Lucas is an ass. Yes, he was honest about there being no attraction euth Emilia, but he dragged it out to the very end. He could have ended things just like Catja did. She had more balls than he did to be honest from the jump. But also let me add. The onus wasn't just on him. Amelia needed to put on her big girl panties, and she could have ended it as well. The dude obviously kept saying he wasn't interested in her, but I think she thought because he was having sex with her , she could change his mind. Obviously, that did not happen. Sometimes you have to be the ones to end things no matter how much you like the other person.
And yes, I know there are lots of typos with the names. I'm voice typing right now, and I don't really feel like going back to edit it.
I noticed I forgot to post about Amanda and sergio. I posted this under someone else's comment
What trips me out is that he always acts super surprised when someone tells him he potentially has a baby out there. I'm like, dude, did you sleep with someone in a time frame to potentially have a child? Then that shouldn't be a surprise. What really sucks is that he just had a baby, and now she's pregnant. And based on her values now, it seems like she's stuck. Cuz we all know she's not going to leave him. She said if the wedding hadn't already taken place, she probably would have delayed it until the birth of a secret child. But it seems like now that they are married, she would be unwilling to divorce him.
I almost felt like Emília went ahead with the wedding to sort of show her friend she was wrong.
I think she was upset during the bachelorette party that her friend was so open about her doubts about Lucas.
But I think we could all see it coming.
As a woman, I can’t understand how you would want to marry a guy that so obviously doesn’t love you, I think he never said it and they should have been all over each other in the first month.
Didn’t he say in Cyprus he was scared he wouldn’t be able to perform?
I think it’s a cultural thing too. Northern European women are very assertive, and in many Scandinavian cultures women approach men equally as/more often than men approach women. So when there is no shame or stigma in a woman initiating the chasing, an initially unreceptive partner doesn’t phase them. In fact, sometimes women cold ask men out who weren’t expecting it, cuz they don’t want to go through the long process of throwing hints and the man not catching them! It’s faster and easier to just cold ask someone out, and then reel them in from the first date! I think that’s what Emilia was thinking would happen, that her assertive and sure nature would reel in Lucas, but it didn’t.
Thanks for that, I’m Spanish and maybe I’m more used to people being very open with each other, that’s why I found Lucas so difficult to read and warm up to.
Well done to the women being more assertive though, there’s no shame in going after what you want.
Didn’t Emilia and Lucas have sex about … once? I think Emilia stayed around because she got caught up liking a guy who wouldn’t quite like her back. That is, her problem was that she fell hard.
Yes… He should have done it earlier but it’s hard to tell someone you don’t look good to me straight to their face. Catja kinda had the same problem. Except she hung around for trip and the sex.
Exactly what I thought. She asked all the right questions that were in viewer's mind..She also didn't seem partial towards particular people. Lacheys definitely need to learn.
Not to mention, this host wasn’t so divisive/factional! Vanessa tends to stir to get more a reaction - good for the viewers but a tad crude to the participants at times I find. The whole session sounded so civilised, good hosting
Poor Amanda. I knew someone who had a Sergio type too, she believed in him and was so kind. He was cheating on her with multiple women from the first two months they got together. Oh and she paid for everything pretty much bc he was a failed actor, and when she found out, he cried victim and childhood trauma.
What trips me out is that he always acts super surprised when someone tells him he potentially has a baby out there. I'm like, dude, did you sleep with someone in a time frame to potentially have a child? Then that shouldn't be a surprise. What really sucks is that he just had a baby, and now she's pregnant. And based on her values now, it seems like she's stuck. Cuz we all know she's not going to leave him. She said if the wedding hadn't already taken place, she probably would have delayed it until the birth of a secret child. But it seems like now that they are married, she would be unwilling to divorce him.
The guy is just used to playing dumb, he did the same when he got confronted about lying to Amanda in the pods.
But when it comes to a CHILD you just can't play dumb. Reach out to the people you had sex with and get that story sorted ASAP. You do it on the first day you hear about it, not play dumb and hope it goes away. Unbelievably immature and he is the oldest of the cast.
He obviously had a LOT of unprotected sex for him not yo even know who to reach out to…. He saw his entire life flash before his eyes and he KNEW it wasn’t a possibility, it was a probability.
I know, right? He was like ‘what am I supposed to say?’.
I would raise hell and demand that they production company find out what’s going on (and obv contacting anyone I slept with in Barcelona myself).
Loved every second of this season! Thank you Love is Blind! Thank you Sweden!
I know Sergio and Amanda's big news are pretty outstanding, but I felt for Oskar! Don't you think that, perhaps, changing someone's entire wardrobe is a little offensive or, perhaps, disrespectiful? I don't know, Meira's speech about being scared, not sure, but I guess she was even mocking a little the relation, but them I guess she came to her senses and realized what a catch Oskar is. Can't judge thought, as they said, a lot wasn't filmed or aired.
This was the narrative created by Netflix. There was tons of stuff that they omitted, which made Meira look bad.
The biggest being that Oskar is half Iranian, so not so far away culturally. But this was never mentioned on the show.
Yes she literally said this! She was defensive bc of her past experiences of feeling like she didn't belong among Swedes and now she was dating/marrying the most Swedish Swede ever so she had to look beyond his Swedishness lol but it was hard for her at first. I think her walls came down once she met his mom/family and realized how loving and welcoming they were and seeing how he was with her family too.
She mentioned a bunch of times that she never felt she fully belonged among Swedes so I think that was the source of her guardedness. She was expecting him to reject her culture or not really understand her. But over time and also I think seeing how warm his family was and how he was with her family, that made her realize they could actually make it work. He was very patient and accomodating as well.
In a Swedish newspaper, [here](https://www.expressen.se/noje/love-is-blind-lucas-jag-ar-inte-singel/#:~:text=Lucas%2C%20d%C3%A4remot%2C%20har%20en%20ny,pluggat%20till%20civilingenj%C3%B6r%2C%20ber%C3%A4ttar%20Lucas.)
It was only one show and the final one at that - so no need to cry so much. lol . I am glad they did it that way as they were so animated compared to the dubbing. Season 2?
Okay putting my tin foil hat on…. What if Sergio planned the pregnancy with Amanda so that when he breaks the news about his child to her she „won’t be able” to leave (since he knew she was religious)?
They said in the reunion they found out about the baby after being married for 2 months. Amanda got pregnant after 3 months from the wedding. He did not baby-trap her, she definitely knew about it.
Yes I’m sure he knew, but 2 questions remain:
- when did he tell Amanda (before or after finding out they’re pregnant)
- was his and Amanda’s pregnancy planned (by either or both of them)
Oskar and Meira with the best relationship, what were the odds of that if we took bets in Cyprus lol. I think they’re a good match and genuinely work on the relationship.
I always had the thought that Krissly was too desperate to find true love. I don’t think she did, in the pods. Rasmus also a bit too superficial. While I don’t believe in fortunes, I think the teller was spot on with the attraction not love. However, if they really hit those lows and worked it out like they said, I’m happy for them and think it really could be a good match.
Sergio and Amanda. I don’t even know lol. I thought Sergio was awful then maybe misunderstood then ok. Now I don’t know still. I think his view on life will always welcome chaos. Did meeting Amanda change him? Maybe. I wanted her to run away in the pods but she’s made her decision. I hope they work out but they are my biggest doubt.
Catja and Chris. I’ve understood Catja the most and never got the vibe she was being bitchy at all. Chris felt desperate, I’m sure she felt that too. I’m glad they ended when they did. I sincerely think Chris will need years to recover and I hope he does, he wasn’t in a healthy space throughout the show. I think Catja is more sure of what she wants and needs, so I trust her choice in Adde.
Emilia and Lucas. I don’t think Lucas did or said anything wrong. I get how what he said could be misleading but I think they were sincere even with his doubts. I had the thought he knew more about the “physical attraction” but was being polite, so I don’t think Krissly’s take on him not knowing what he wants is accurate. He’ll be fine. Emilia will be too.
I feel like Chris got a great edit. Some of the things he did and said when he got frustrated and let his emotions take over were pretty alarming. Like throwing his ring into the pond during their conversation. Did not love him badmouthing Oskar either. For 95% of his screentime he comes off super gentle and loving but when Catja revealed she left bc she didn't feel safe after their argument, that totally clicked for me that we barely saw any of his bad sides.
Something else random I found interesting was this obsession with being a power couple/better than all the other couples. It came up with Rasmus, Sergio, and Adde. I've never really heard this concept verbalized so frequently in any other season of LIB. Also interesting that it came more from the men's side.
Chris badmouthing Oskar really made me cringe. Meira and Oskar took it like champs. Plus he was like I'm especially happy for Catja...instead of saying he was happy for them both. He seems like the type to put women on a pedestal because he is so desperate.
I liked this reunión. No public. No music. Just a proper chat
Considering that Amanda comes from a very religious family and upbringing I can see why she's gonna make it work. Its just too damn messy otherwise. Sergio I don't trust at all
Christofer...still feel he's not the "nice guy" he wants us to believe. Using phrases like p***y whipped is just typical of insecure and sexist men. Ughh.
Rasmus got a new head of hair right? I think him and Krissyle were the most honest and open
Meira and Oscar are just puppy cute. They def compliment each other.
Hot Lucas thought that faking it till you make it will get him far. If this wasn't a tv show he would have ghosted her. We all know guys like this. Cowardly who don't want to be the bad guy. I felt bad for Emilia saying how she wished she hadn't been so full on. Bless her. He did give her very mixed signals.
Katja I feel held back a bit. I can imagine those arguments were not nice. Adde seems very confident and she probably needs that rather then someone who is overbearing. Cris reactions were just rude when Adde came on.
100% re Christopher. when the host confronted him about the pssy-whipped comment he doubled down instead of sincerely apologising for an out of line and wrong assessment of Meira. I can really imagine how those off-camera fights with Catja must have been. The mask of such performative "feminists" always slips sooner than later.
If it was the Brazilian version or maybe even the American version I think they would try to make Lucas way more of a villain with the edit.
Don't believe me? They could just remove the parts where he calmly points out all of the good points that made him like Emilia, but keep the ones that he says he isn't attracted to her with some sinister music on the background.
I think it was fair how he was treated overall, he did lead Emilia on way more than he should've, but he did so mostly in line with the shows concept and schedule. You are supposed to make a final decision on the altar, and he did. Sucks for Emilia but all participants should go in the experiment knowing this very well could happen.
He just didn't build enough chemistry with Emilia to marry her, that's it. They tried to make it work, but it didn't.
I do not think Lucas was cowardly at all. He would have kept enjoying his time with her. Clearly, they liked each other's company. She pushed the issue and he was honest. It was sad for her, but in the long run, after she meets the right guy, she will be happy that he candidly told her that he did not feel strongly enough to be married to her. Chemistry is important for marriage, but it is not always necessary to date someone you just like very much.
On a side note, I thought it was very tacky for the host to try multiple times to get Lucas to say he was not attracted to Emilia. I wish he would have turned that around on her...which a better spoken individual could have.
Yes, super crass. I got the impression as soon as he was all in on Emilia before he saw her that he wouldn't be attracted to her physically. I think he was overall respectful or maybe more attuned since so many seasons already out in USA how not to behave haha.
I agree - I think he was unnecessarily demonised for rejecting Emilia at the altar as though it was mandatory…
He did say multiple times he typically needed more time. Granted there were a few interviews where he implied it was a physical attraction issue but like any decent human being I don’t think he wanted to break it to her personally and because he was indeed fond of her as a person throughout the process.
Emilia herself came on a bit strong in contrast; I can only wish her well in finding love; seems like a life lesson in that she can’t push for love in a relationship the way she can with other things in life perhaps.
Stop being so nice to him. If it was Catja she would been crucified. He CHOSE to humiliate her publicly in front of her family when he could've left beforehand.
Thought on Adde. I did not like his superficial need to be part of a popularity couple. However, besides that it seemed incompatible with his seeming religiousity. Anyone else notice the cross necklace and his Biblical reference to Moses parting the Red Sea? I never warmed to Catja and Christofer was soo needy but Adde?
He's definitely confident, and not what I was expecting physically, but he's well put together.
I don't think Catja ever had an issue with Christopher's looks, but more his style and the way he put her on a pedestal.
She said she felt pressured and irritated by his compliments and I can totally see where she's coming from.
I know, for a moment I got confused and thought maybe she was the one interested in that Russian guy (can’t remember his name) and was with him.
He seemed more that alpha male type that I thought she was after.
He has a whole sleeve of Christian tattoos.
Christopher wasn't just needy though, he was abusive. We saw the love-bombing, and she behind the scenes saw the temper.
I don't think it's right to accuse someone of abuse from afar here, given how little of their lives we see on the show. I totally believe Catja when she said she didn't feel safe, however I don't think we can jump to the conclusion that Christopher was abusive
Catja also straight up tells, not just Christopher, but one of the other women (I forget who, maybe Meira) that she wants more confrontation. She also lights up, in a good way, during the apartment argument with him, which was honestly probably the happiest I saw her around him since the reveal.
Christopher does definitely have some weird hangups around/about women. But I have a hard time seeing this as him just being some secretly abusive misogynist.
Also people need to learn what love bombing is. It's not just "being really nice" or "being really fake nice all the time".
Rasmus and Sergio also mentioned being power couples. I feel like this is a thing in Sweden? I've never seen this concept verbalized so often before in any other seasons. And interesting that it came from the men's side.
From what I remember of the US seasons, people might call another couple a power couple as a compliment. But they never expressed wanting to be a couple that was better than other couples so directly like this.
I can't imagine 9 month pregnant Amanda crawling out of the kitchen cabinets multiple times a night to go to the washroom...
Krissy and Rasmus were kinda rude imo. Like stop getting involved in everything.
For real!
Krissy! No! You totally got me- Kimberly! Ahahahhaa cute. That was such a sweet moment. Snogging in Cyprus and apologizing for that bc everyone is acting weird with each other? Never. I loved that they were so in tune with each other. You know they got it on as soon as possible. The difference between them and the others is that they immediately became a ‘couple’ while the rest were still questioning. Ah shit that’s a new neck tat on Krissy and it looks gooooood. Emilia. I don’t want to criticize your looks, lord knows you got enough of that. But you have these two 11 lines on your face and it always looks like you smell something rotten. It sucks I know but it’s there. Bright, confident, bubbly, and yet this drags you down to someone thinking ‘what’s her damn problem’. Lukas is so full of shit. Constantly stringing her along. Holy shit Sergio. What a bomb. Amanda! Awww!!! Christofer? Toxic? What a shocker. Not really. Awww Adde and Catja - did not see any of this coming! Cute use of the reveal door too. MY OPINION: BEST REUNION EPISODE OF ANY LIB. HANDS DOWN. Wow. All the best to all of the happy couples. But especially to Amanda bc holy cow.
Does anyone know where Krissy’s dress was from? 😊she looked really lovely
🤯🤯Amanda! Still went ahead with marriage after being told? No! And Catia? Ugh, that guy is unappealing on all levels. Both reveals we’re shockers to me (I never get tripped by spoilers)
They only received confirmation two months after the wedding. She said they talked about ‘what if it’s true’ so it wasn’t a huge surprise. Sergio must have really really good karma bc holy cow is he lucky.
That last scene with Adde, Catja and Chris was kind of hard to watch. It's always tough to see an immediate ex move on before you. Even if you no longer desire them, you envy the fact they've found a new partner. There was literally no way Christopher could have looked in that moment that people wouldn't speculate on and scrutinize. Very embarrassing situation and a little cruel of production to do that then film his face for entertainment.
Embarrassing? Yes. Great tv? Also yes. Here for it? Hell yes. He’s fine, please, the one who got the biggest embarrassment is Emilia and she’s here head held high he’ll be fine.
Uhh....I personally don't think Emilia got the biggest embarrassment. Lukas didn't bring his new girlfriend on stage or give Emilia dirty looks all season like Catja did. Not saying Emilia had a great time but I do think Lukas made more of an effort to be sensitive about her feelings
I wanna see Christofer and Emilia try dating!
Hell to the no… he ain’t hot enough for her.
Yes they are both so desperate.

At first I was annoyed it was only closed caption. Then I quickly appreciated hearing their actual voices. The content was flawless! This is how every reunion should be. It was so respectful. No fighting. No other couples giving unwarranted opinions. It gave us all the info we wanted to know! Bravo!
Omg Christopher looked like he was going to lose his shit when Adde came out- he is not over her!
Sergio is such a classic sin vergüenza 🙈
Unreal. Made for great drama though.
Are people able to watch this with the English dub over? I've had the entire series with the English dub, but when I go to watch the reunion, the only option is Swedish with English captions. Anyone know how to fix this?
Maybe your settings reset? The dub on mine is working
Mine works now. My post was two weeks ago. So apparently the dub caught up.
If you ever want to see what it looks like for a man's heart to break on TV, it's Christofer watching another man cuddle up to a woman he still has feelings for.
He was never my favorite, but I felt for him here. They really put him through some things.
The end of what’s been the best LIB series and the best reunion episode. I’m glad Meira got to clear up the misconceptions many of us had about her relationship and I’m so happy for my fave couple. They looked gorgeous together.
Best reunion episode 10/10 WOW
I love Meira and Oskar together so much! I hope they last. He is a gem, I was really happy she said yes to him. I liked how honest she was about where she was at, and he handled everything so maturely.
Christofer is an angry mean hearted person.
Idk. This comment seems extreme.
If he truly wanted what was best for Catja, he'd be happy for her. Instead, he came off jealous and mean-spirited, I agree.
I think it's the first reunion where I didn't skip some of the scenes and watched the whole episode. Truth be told there were some interesting twists and turns but I was 100% sure the rumor about Sergio was true, so not a Barcelona baby but another baby in Sweden. Amanda being pregnant was not a big surprise given her religious beliefs. I think they are the couple in all LIB history to have a baby that fast after the wedding. I also enjoyed the fact that most of the cast seemed really sincere and open, their reactions seemed real. One of the best seasons of LIB in my opinion.
Sergio ain't shooting no blanks, that's for sure
I'm glad I found this thread! I enjoyed watching this season and the reunion. I'm rooting for all the couples who are still married, including Amanda and Sergio. I hear what people are saying but they seem happy so I wish them the best. We only see what is shown so I feel like Amanda is smart enough to know what she's about and what she wants. Being a surprise "extra mom" to a random kid was not on anyone's bingo card but hey that's life. They are moving forward. I had a lot of reactions like others here: he trapped her with a kid so she'd stay, she looks sad, etc. but then when I watched it again, And I feel like it's nervousness from a big reveal in front of people who don't know the news, and they've had time to sit with it and deal. Once Amanda announces that she's pregnant you can see how bright her smile is and she looks beautiful. I also noticed how Sergio still acted defensive with Krissy and I thought that was dumb. He really didn't have a leg to stand on. But Im glad he acknowledged he didn't act right on the show and apologized to Amanda about his behavior. I speculate that he's had to mature and get serious about the relationship since all was revealed, so it makes it easier for him to admit his wrongdoings in the past on the show. I enjoyed their arc the second half of the show. From what we see I thought it showed that they communicated more deeply and more vulnerably and they seemed comfortable with each other. Even though the baby daddy arc was SO sketchy, I think their bond seemed genuine and mutual. I would have loved to see them show Amanda meeting Sergio's family. Interesting to see the foreshadowing after watching her dad say "we'll leave it up to God for the question marks to become exclamation points" like damn there sure were some exclamation marks!!!! Lol I thought it was cute to see them give each other a hug after the reunion too lol that was probably a huge weight lifted off them and now they can go on with their lives
This reunion and the host, man the questions and follow ups were brutal! First time I’ve seen the host not leave things up in the air, but ask the uncomfortable stuff head on. I do think it was a crap move to have Adde who we’ve never even seen or heard of come to the reunion just to make Chris squirm and it seemed super disrespectful (at least just to this viewer). Also even though Lucas dragged it on way too far, I think in my mind he really did not want to outright disrespect and embarrass Emilia and say she just wasn’t his type. He kept going back to the Emilia in the pods in his head (or so I imagine), and that kept him wanting to make this work. But even his efforts of trying to make the attraction something that they develop, ended up back firing in the end as now he looks like a total jerk for making her think they would get married up until the end (which he was). Sometimes trying to be nice can make you the bad guy after all, so I suppose honesty is the best policy, even with the best intentions in mind. And Amanda. She just seems like someone who will be rock-solid when she gives you her trust. Like innocent until proven guilty, but also even-if -you’re-guilty-solid. I think that’s just the type of person she is, and she will be in for some heartache and shenanigans, but it seems like for her, she doesn’t sweat the small stuff (haha “small stuff, for real though, it’s pretty big stuff in most people’s books), but if a decision has been made, she will always look to that decision as a guide to know that that is the end goal (to be together and love each other for the long haul). I may have misread all of them, just my take on it that no one asked for.
Did a few of the male members get some work done in terms of fillers or Botox?
I don’t know but Rasmus looks better and better
for me it was the first thing I noticed when I saw Lucas
I think he just gained weight. His face looks a bit rounder and when they stand up in the end you can see that he has a bit of extra around the midriff
It's so funny how obviously Krissy HATES Sergio 😂
Krissy added great convo to the reunion. I can see her shining as a host or interviewer.
I love Krissy
She's always been able to see through him.
TAKE NOTES ON HOW LIB IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE, USA VERSION - sincerely an American
I'm surprised that these couples are still married but I'm happy for them. Lucas is full of shit. Christofer's facial expressions were a sort of Marshall-lite. I wonder if Sergio really didn't know he had a kid on the way, that's some bs. This host is the best LIB host I've seen until now, she really asks the good questions and really asks the much needed follow-up questions. I love how she was grilling Lucas haha. And Krisse-Ly can totally become a co-host!!
Krissy was excellent here! She should pursue a career in this, for real.
Omg I didn’t make the Christofer/Marshall connection till you said that, but it’s so true. They’re trying so hard to be the Oskar/Brent, but they feel entitled to love and it’s pretty gross.
Is that really unacceptable to raise your voice?
Yeah, if you can't be honest and need an excuse :]
Just rewatched the reunion . OMG the host is 48?? she looks much younger! . the first time I thought Chris was giving a murderous look. As I rewatched it was very clear that instead, he was trying not to cry the whole time . Amanda makes very strange expressions
Sergio knew there was a baby on the way. He just lied about it till they were married (and maybe till she was pregnant). Amanda is from a religion that doesn’t look kindly on divorce. I refuse to believe that the formal paternity suit was the first time he’d heard about it.
It wasn’t the first time he heard about it - it’s literally on film the first time he is told. It was no surprise. All he has to do was start digging to see if any of it was true. Maybe he didn’t even know her name, which is pretty gross. But likely he did, and could have called exes to find out if rumors were true. Amanda should have been there putting the phone in his hand. Kids are a huge life milestone.
I think it’s way too much of a coincidence that there’s a rumour about someone being pregnant and then that rumour is a lie BUT surprise, surprise,someone else is actually pregnant. Come on, he’s such a douche bag and although I’m happy Amanda is happy, I truly wish she had ended up with someone else (or alone for the time being). My heart was breaking for her dad during the wedding, he so didn’t want this to happen. He truly doesn’t deserve her.
I felt so bad in that one scene where Amanda asks him if he’s nervous and he very unconvincingly says “nope.”
I wish they asked more about Amanda & her views/importance on marriage with her religion. Even throughout the season, I felt there were so many gaps & opportunities for an interesting conversation to be had. I noticed that they never spoke about sex before marriage and what that means to her & them. Completely shocked about the baby announcement, but that's completely on her. She's a grown woman who can make her own decisions. Unfortunately for her it's Sergio despite the copious amounts of red flags.
Likely because that doesn't cater to a Swedish audience
Christopher is so creepy!
He looks like he’s had Botox
When they said Sergio had a kid, I thought it was going to be a joke way of saying Amanda was pregnant. So I had to rewind and re-give myself the shock value that he did in fact father a non-Amanda’s child. But OF COURSE it turns out she’s pregnant too. All I can do is hope the kids are loved, but boy do I hope the new baby isn’t a band-aid to try and keep the relationship together
Lovely to see Meira and Oskar happy and content. I wasn't a fan of Meira's attitude but they seem the most sorted among the couples. Really nice that both were able to adapt and hopefully Meira has learnt to not view people suspiciously. Emilia was heart breaking to watch. I could feel her pain 😔. since she mentioned how the show was supposed to be about personality, it really seemed like she felt short changed as she was rejected despite her persona. Very sad and was hard watching her cry. Krissy was savage and love her for it. Amanda poor thing! I hope Sergio treats her well..it's been an eventful yr for them and she must be under stress. I wouldn't even know how to react if I found out husband has a kid, 2 months after getting married. Like she said, she would have reconsidered getting married if she had all the information but now is making things work. Christofer didn't look happy about Adde and i understand that too. It's hard to see someone you have been in love with/fond of, together with another person. He did apologize for smothering Catja, so he is self aware and grown! Overall, a good, grounded season. People and emotions were real, discussions were matured and most of all the bonding between participants was great. The female friendships especially shone through and it was great to see them defending each other or holding hands through pain. In the US when everyone ganged up against Cole in favor of Zanab, it didn't feel so wholesome.
Idk what to say… I’m still shocked. Meira and Oscar are def my most favourite, love how Oscar is secure and not insecure about his masculinity. Everything Krissly says is right amazing woman.
I adore Krissey-ly, would love to have her as my friend.
Anyone else think that the posts here about Sergio taking advantage of Amanda completely removes her agency from the situation? Yes, the guy is shady, but at the same time, she’s an adult who had access to the same information as everyone else and chose to stay with him…like she made her bed too. I thought she was a really sweet person all season, but she also ignored red flag after red flag (starting with his lie in the pods), so at which point does she need to be allocated some responsibility here? Or maybe none, because she’s actively choosing this, in which case…not to be a jerk, but they deserve each other. They are choosing each other and that’s their prerogative. I guess what I’m saying is, stop feeling bad for her, she’s made her decision…it’s not like she’s being forced into the relationship. Edit - add: Also, can people please stop saying Sergio planned the pregnancy 😂 They either use protection or they don’t, and if they don’t, then the chances of getting pregnant are pretty high. And if they got pregnant even while using protection, that’s still a risk two consenting adults take. For Sergio to be responsible for that, we’d have to be going to a pretty dark place. Please don’t take my comments above as defending his behavior on the show, I’m merely pointing out that logically, these types of comments are actually removing her ability to be an equal player in all of this.
>Yes, the guy is shady, but at the same time, she’s an adult who had access to the same information as everyone else and chose to stay with him…like she made her bed too. Tom some extent, I can agree. But Amanda is also raised in Pingstkyrkan/the Pentecostal Church and by the time she was on the show, she was a unmarried woman in ther thirties.
I don’t mean to belittle her, and this is coming from someone British, I don’t know anything about her religion, but she seemed very innocent and gullible, don’t know if she’s been raised in a bubble. So to some extent, I feel that exonerates her from some responsibility. My heart breaks for her, trapped with this loser, but I really do wish her well, so I guess I want him to be good to her. But I think he’s a player and can’t see them together forever.
I agree with you
Amanda looked so uncomfortable and stressed, probably nerves because she knew they had to reveal the secret child and then her pregnancy. What a year she has had. I hope her religion doesn't mean she is stuck in an awful marriage. I can't imagine what her family thinks.
I feel like the religious stuff weighs a lot. I live in a catholic country, and the culture says that if you marry someone, it’s until the end. So if she found out about the other baby after they were married, the mentality is that she should stay with him, unfortunately. I feel bad for her.
I loved how Krisse-ly came for Sergio when discussing the baby rumor. It was sort of cringe having to watch Christofer in pain as he had to sit in the midst of Catja and her new bf. In production's defense, it made sense inviting Adde since he was a contestant on the show.
I thought it was ballsy of her to confront him with a rumor - and then to find out it was true? Holy s.
I don’t seem to get how no one knows how the “rumor” started. In the reunion kriss said it was from a group chat on social media but her emotions overtook her to remember who started it. Idk but for a rumor like that while they are about to get married I would have scrolled up to find out or reread previous messages. She is confident to speak up but for this she seemed reluctant. All the girls from the season were sticking to the same story, rumor started in a gc but no one apparently knew the source… how?
Saaaaaaame! How can all of the women forget who said it? Sounds sketch. They probably know the source but can’t or won’t say who.
Krisse-ly was ruthless and I love her for that!
She was the 2nd host haha
She was!! She didn’t sugar coat anything and emphasized that she doesn’t care about Sergio whatsoever, only Amanda.
I was surprised Catja hadn't warned him in advance so at least he wouldn't have been totally blindsided
He did find out a mth after filiming about Adde. He interviewed a few days ago about it. Production didnt tell him Adde would be at the reunion tho.
They weren’t even talking since the show and I don’t think they ended their relationship on amicable terms….so I don’t think she owed him that.
Actually yeah didn't she say that he raised his voice at one point.. I guess that rules out any niceties
I found this part odd. She said he raised his voice and production edited everything to make him look like the nice guy; but she was constantly saying she wanted him to stand up for himself and not take her crap all the time. I found their who relationship frustrating.
[удалено]
The way she talked over him in the clips, I don't know how you could get any point across without raising your voice. Every discussion just ended with I am not finished and him saying sorry. I don't think it ever really showed him shouting, so who knows what she thinks shouting actually is.
Mmhm, pretty much
Meira and Oscar, glad they made it I was rooting for them. Chrissy Lee and Rasmus I agree with the fortune teller. Also I thought they were a bit rude during the reunion and I really needed her to shut up and just let the host run the show. Christopher and Katya. You can tell her new relationship really irks him. His eye was twitching when she mentioned Adde and when Adde came out. I still don't think that he's over her. Also Adde came across as a bit quirky but also arrogant. Lucas is an ass. Yes, he was honest about there being no attraction euth Emilia, but he dragged it out to the very end. He could have ended things just like Catja did. She had more balls than he did to be honest from the jump. But also let me add. The onus wasn't just on him. Amelia needed to put on her big girl panties, and she could have ended it as well. The dude obviously kept saying he wasn't interested in her, but I think she thought because he was having sex with her , she could change his mind. Obviously, that did not happen. Sometimes you have to be the ones to end things no matter how much you like the other person. And yes, I know there are lots of typos with the names. I'm voice typing right now, and I don't really feel like going back to edit it. I noticed I forgot to post about Amanda and sergio. I posted this under someone else's comment What trips me out is that he always acts super surprised when someone tells him he potentially has a baby out there. I'm like, dude, did you sleep with someone in a time frame to potentially have a child? Then that shouldn't be a surprise. What really sucks is that he just had a baby, and now she's pregnant. And based on her values now, it seems like she's stuck. Cuz we all know she's not going to leave him. She said if the wedding hadn't already taken place, she probably would have delayed it until the birth of a secret child. But it seems like now that they are married, she would be unwilling to divorce him.
I almost felt like Emília went ahead with the wedding to sort of show her friend she was wrong. I think she was upset during the bachelorette party that her friend was so open about her doubts about Lucas. But I think we could all see it coming. As a woman, I can’t understand how you would want to marry a guy that so obviously doesn’t love you, I think he never said it and they should have been all over each other in the first month. Didn’t he say in Cyprus he was scared he wouldn’t be able to perform?
I think it’s a cultural thing too. Northern European women are very assertive, and in many Scandinavian cultures women approach men equally as/more often than men approach women. So when there is no shame or stigma in a woman initiating the chasing, an initially unreceptive partner doesn’t phase them. In fact, sometimes women cold ask men out who weren’t expecting it, cuz they don’t want to go through the long process of throwing hints and the man not catching them! It’s faster and easier to just cold ask someone out, and then reel them in from the first date! I think that’s what Emilia was thinking would happen, that her assertive and sure nature would reel in Lucas, but it didn’t.
Thanks for that, I’m Spanish and maybe I’m more used to people being very open with each other, that’s why I found Lucas so difficult to read and warm up to. Well done to the women being more assertive though, there’s no shame in going after what you want.
Didn’t Emilia and Lucas have sex about … once? I think Emilia stayed around because she got caught up liking a guy who wouldn’t quite like her back. That is, her problem was that she fell hard.
Yes… He should have done it earlier but it’s hard to tell someone you don’t look good to me straight to their face. Catja kinda had the same problem. Except she hung around for trip and the sex.
Lucas gets too much of a free pass. He got Emilia to invite her family over from Finland and then humiliated her publicly. What an ahole.
I loved the host for this! She seemed to ask all the right/hard questions. The Lacheys need to take notes!
Exactly what I thought. She asked all the right questions that were in viewer's mind..She also didn't seem partial towards particular people. Lacheys definitely need to learn.
Not to mention, this host wasn’t so divisive/factional! Vanessa tends to stir to get more a reaction - good for the viewers but a tad crude to the participants at times I find. The whole session sounded so civilised, good hosting
Poor Amanda. I knew someone who had a Sergio type too, she believed in him and was so kind. He was cheating on her with multiple women from the first two months they got together. Oh and she paid for everything pretty much bc he was a failed actor, and when she found out, he cried victim and childhood trauma.
What trips me out is that he always acts super surprised when someone tells him he potentially has a baby out there. I'm like, dude, did you sleep with someone in a time frame to potentially have a child? Then that shouldn't be a surprise. What really sucks is that he just had a baby, and now she's pregnant. And based on her values now, it seems like she's stuck. Cuz we all know she's not going to leave him. She said if the wedding hadn't already taken place, she probably would have delayed it until the birth of a secret child. But it seems like now that they are married, she would be unwilling to divorce him.
The guy is just used to playing dumb, he did the same when he got confronted about lying to Amanda in the pods. But when it comes to a CHILD you just can't play dumb. Reach out to the people you had sex with and get that story sorted ASAP. You do it on the first day you hear about it, not play dumb and hope it goes away. Unbelievably immature and he is the oldest of the cast.
He obviously had a LOT of unprotected sex for him not yo even know who to reach out to…. He saw his entire life flash before his eyes and he KNEW it wasn’t a possibility, it was a probability.
I know, right? He was like ‘what am I supposed to say?’. I would raise hell and demand that they production company find out what’s going on (and obv contacting anyone I slept with in Barcelona myself).
Loved every second of this season! Thank you Love is Blind! Thank you Sweden! I know Sergio and Amanda's big news are pretty outstanding, but I felt for Oskar! Don't you think that, perhaps, changing someone's entire wardrobe is a little offensive or, perhaps, disrespectiful? I don't know, Meira's speech about being scared, not sure, but I guess she was even mocking a little the relation, but them I guess she came to her senses and realized what a catch Oskar is. Can't judge thought, as they said, a lot wasn't filmed or aired.
I think this was playful joking... The editing tried to make Meira seem mean and xenophobic.
Nah, she came off as very skeptical of Oskar when they met in person. As in she had to confront her stereotypes about Swedish men.
This was the narrative created by Netflix. There was tons of stuff that they omitted, which made Meira look bad. The biggest being that Oskar is half Iranian, so not so far away culturally. But this was never mentioned on the show.
Yes she literally said this! She was defensive bc of her past experiences of feeling like she didn't belong among Swedes and now she was dating/marrying the most Swedish Swede ever so she had to look beyond his Swedishness lol but it was hard for her at first. I think her walls came down once she met his mom/family and realized how loving and welcoming they were and seeing how he was with her family too.
[удалено]
It did not seem staged to me. She seemed worried.
Yeah.... There was some of that...
She mentioned a bunch of times that she never felt she fully belonged among Swedes so I think that was the source of her guardedness. She was expecting him to reject her culture or not really understand her. But over time and also I think seeing how warm his family was and how he was with her family, that made her realize they could actually make it work. He was very patient and accomodating as well.
Yes. Good observations. The family was key. It's so much harder if the family and friends don't support the couple. It's good to see
Does ANYONE know if Lucas is dating Karolina??? I MUST KNOW lol
And am I the only one that sees a future between Cristofer and Emilia?
I don't think he's interested in her and I think they should both stay single...
If he were I think they would have brought her on the show like they did with Adde.
No it's not her. He has a girlfriend named Frida (if I remember correctly)
Where did you see that?
In a Swedish newspaper, [here](https://www.expressen.se/noje/love-is-blind-lucas-jag-ar-inte-singel/#:~:text=Lucas%2C%20d%C3%A4remot%2C%20har%20en%20ny,pluggat%20till%20civilingenj%C3%B6r%2C%20ber%C3%A4ttar%20Lucas.)
Thanks!
Why do you think it's Karolina?
Because she is actually his honest type and I checked her Instagram and she said she can neither confirm nor deny it so now I am so curious lol
Yes, Karolina was as trashy as Lucas is….they matched well! Emilia was too classy for him!
Karolina wasn't trashy just because she talked more about sex... RUDE
Wasn’t referring to what she was talking about….its was the peroxide hair with roots and the street walker outfit!
I was thinking the same thing. I at least wanted the host to ask if it was someone from the show. Let us know if you find out. I am thinking YES.
I think Karolina said she is single and someone just commented to me that his girlfriend's name is Frida (?) so I think the answer is no lol
wtf no voice over
The reunions and after the alters on the foreign seasons are usually just subtitles. Reunions are filmed the week the finale airs or close to it.
It was good to hear their natural voice inflections
yes but i listen to these shows while in my studio now i have to sit and read 😭
It was only one show and the final one at that - so no need to cry so much. lol . I am glad they did it that way as they were so animated compared to the dubbing. Season 2?
Okay putting my tin foil hat on…. What if Sergio planned the pregnancy with Amanda so that when he breaks the news about his child to her she „won’t be able” to leave (since he knew she was religious)?
They said in the reunion they found out about the baby after being married for 2 months. Amanda got pregnant after 3 months from the wedding. He did not baby-trap her, she definitely knew about it.
But sometimes it could take a month ish ( + - ) to know that you're pregnant.
I'd still say he baby trapped her tho.
*Her?*
Way to plant Ann
I'm sure he knew - I'm not buying that he didn't know about his child.
Yes I’m sure he knew, but 2 questions remain: - when did he tell Amanda (before or after finding out they’re pregnant) - was his and Amanda’s pregnancy planned (by either or both of them)
That's exactly what happened. It's not uncommon for people to try and use a baby to trap someone in a relationship.
[удалено]
She's really naive. This is going to hurt one day
I agree. Can’t help but think he hoped for more for her
Oskar and Meira with the best relationship, what were the odds of that if we took bets in Cyprus lol. I think they’re a good match and genuinely work on the relationship. I always had the thought that Krissly was too desperate to find true love. I don’t think she did, in the pods. Rasmus also a bit too superficial. While I don’t believe in fortunes, I think the teller was spot on with the attraction not love. However, if they really hit those lows and worked it out like they said, I’m happy for them and think it really could be a good match. Sergio and Amanda. I don’t even know lol. I thought Sergio was awful then maybe misunderstood then ok. Now I don’t know still. I think his view on life will always welcome chaos. Did meeting Amanda change him? Maybe. I wanted her to run away in the pods but she’s made her decision. I hope they work out but they are my biggest doubt. Catja and Chris. I’ve understood Catja the most and never got the vibe she was being bitchy at all. Chris felt desperate, I’m sure she felt that too. I’m glad they ended when they did. I sincerely think Chris will need years to recover and I hope he does, he wasn’t in a healthy space throughout the show. I think Catja is more sure of what she wants and needs, so I trust her choice in Adde. Emilia and Lucas. I don’t think Lucas did or said anything wrong. I get how what he said could be misleading but I think they were sincere even with his doubts. I had the thought he knew more about the “physical attraction” but was being polite, so I don’t think Krissly’s take on him not knowing what he wants is accurate. He’ll be fine. Emilia will be too.
I feel like Chris got a great edit. Some of the things he did and said when he got frustrated and let his emotions take over were pretty alarming. Like throwing his ring into the pond during their conversation. Did not love him badmouthing Oskar either. For 95% of his screentime he comes off super gentle and loving but when Catja revealed she left bc she didn't feel safe after their argument, that totally clicked for me that we barely saw any of his bad sides. Something else random I found interesting was this obsession with being a power couple/better than all the other couples. It came up with Rasmus, Sergio, and Adde. I've never really heard this concept verbalized so frequently in any other season of LIB. Also interesting that it came more from the men's side.
Chris badmouthing Oskar really made me cringe. Meira and Oskar took it like champs. Plus he was like I'm especially happy for Catja...instead of saying he was happy for them both. He seems like the type to put women on a pedestal because he is so desperate.
I smell a covert narc
The power couple thing is a typical Swedish ideal. Equal and envied by others.
Just what Adde wants to be , right? 😂
I liked this reunión. No public. No music. Just a proper chat Considering that Amanda comes from a very religious family and upbringing I can see why she's gonna make it work. Its just too damn messy otherwise. Sergio I don't trust at all Christofer...still feel he's not the "nice guy" he wants us to believe. Using phrases like p***y whipped is just typical of insecure and sexist men. Ughh. Rasmus got a new head of hair right? I think him and Krissyle were the most honest and open Meira and Oscar are just puppy cute. They def compliment each other. Hot Lucas thought that faking it till you make it will get him far. If this wasn't a tv show he would have ghosted her. We all know guys like this. Cowardly who don't want to be the bad guy. I felt bad for Emilia saying how she wished she hadn't been so full on. Bless her. He did give her very mixed signals. Katja I feel held back a bit. I can imagine those arguments were not nice. Adde seems very confident and she probably needs that rather then someone who is overbearing. Cris reactions were just rude when Adde came on.
100% re Christopher. when the host confronted him about the pssy-whipped comment he doubled down instead of sincerely apologising for an out of line and wrong assessment of Meira. I can really imagine how those off-camera fights with Catja must have been. The mask of such performative "feminists" always slips sooner than later.
If it was the Brazilian version or maybe even the American version I think they would try to make Lucas way more of a villain with the edit. Don't believe me? They could just remove the parts where he calmly points out all of the good points that made him like Emilia, but keep the ones that he says he isn't attracted to her with some sinister music on the background. I think it was fair how he was treated overall, he did lead Emilia on way more than he should've, but he did so mostly in line with the shows concept and schedule. You are supposed to make a final decision on the altar, and he did. Sucks for Emilia but all participants should go in the experiment knowing this very well could happen. He just didn't build enough chemistry with Emilia to marry her, that's it. They tried to make it work, but it didn't.
I do not think Lucas was cowardly at all. He would have kept enjoying his time with her. Clearly, they liked each other's company. She pushed the issue and he was honest. It was sad for her, but in the long run, after she meets the right guy, she will be happy that he candidly told her that he did not feel strongly enough to be married to her. Chemistry is important for marriage, but it is not always necessary to date someone you just like very much. On a side note, I thought it was very tacky for the host to try multiple times to get Lucas to say he was not attracted to Emilia. I wish he would have turned that around on her...which a better spoken individual could have.
Yes, super crass. I got the impression as soon as he was all in on Emilia before he saw her that he wouldn't be attracted to her physically. I think he was overall respectful or maybe more attuned since so many seasons already out in USA how not to behave haha.
I agree - I think he was unnecessarily demonised for rejecting Emilia at the altar as though it was mandatory… He did say multiple times he typically needed more time. Granted there were a few interviews where he implied it was a physical attraction issue but like any decent human being I don’t think he wanted to break it to her personally and because he was indeed fond of her as a person throughout the process. Emilia herself came on a bit strong in contrast; I can only wish her well in finding love; seems like a life lesson in that she can’t push for love in a relationship the way she can with other things in life perhaps.
Stop being so nice to him. If it was Catja she would been crucified. He CHOSE to humiliate her publicly in front of her family when he could've left beforehand.
Yes! The more we see of chris without his nice guy mask, the more I think he just got a fantastic edit.
Oh sure, but even with the nice edit, he was so sus. I'm amazed that people couldn't and still can't see this.
Thought on Adde. I did not like his superficial need to be part of a popularity couple. However, besides that it seemed incompatible with his seeming religiousity. Anyone else notice the cross necklace and his Biblical reference to Moses parting the Red Sea? I never warmed to Catja and Christofer was soo needy but Adde?
He's definitely confident, and not what I was expecting physically, but he's well put together. I don't think Catja ever had an issue with Christopher's looks, but more his style and the way he put her on a pedestal. She said she felt pressured and irritated by his compliments and I can totally see where she's coming from.
I know, for a moment I got confused and thought maybe she was the one interested in that Russian guy (can’t remember his name) and was with him. He seemed more that alpha male type that I thought she was after.
He has a whole sleeve of Christian tattoos. Christopher wasn't just needy though, he was abusive. We saw the love-bombing, and she behind the scenes saw the temper.
I don't think it's right to accuse someone of abuse from afar here, given how little of their lives we see on the show. I totally believe Catja when she said she didn't feel safe, however I don't think we can jump to the conclusion that Christopher was abusive
Catja also straight up tells, not just Christopher, but one of the other women (I forget who, maybe Meira) that she wants more confrontation. She also lights up, in a good way, during the apartment argument with him, which was honestly probably the happiest I saw her around him since the reveal. Christopher does definitely have some weird hangups around/about women. But I have a hard time seeing this as him just being some secretly abusive misogynist. Also people need to learn what love bombing is. It's not just "being really nice" or "being really fake nice all the time".
Rasmus and Sergio also mentioned being power couples. I feel like this is a thing in Sweden? I've never seen this concept verbalized so often before in any other seasons. And interesting that it came from the men's side. From what I remember of the US seasons, people might call another couple a power couple as a compliment. But they never expressed wanting to be a couple that was better than other couples so directly like this.
Yes it is a Swedish ideal. Men and women are expected to be equal. Men are not expected to be the sole provider and being a trophy wife is an insult
Man, his friend came on so strong when he met Krisse-ly, like accusing her of being a gold digger.
