Love is Blind Power Rankings (Pt.2)
Maybe *don't* marry someone who doesn't like you?
Just like that, we’re back with another round of Love is Blind power rankings. The couples have made their way to Seattle and are navigating living together, introducing each other to their families and friends, and figuring out finances. Basically, they’re easing themselves into the real world. There are still couples to root for, but some of them are quickly starting to destabilize. As you’ll see, my rankings have certainly shifted from the last batch of episodes.
Brett and Tiffany
For the most part I’m still very much obsessed with them. Their connection has an ease to it. They have the potential to be one of those couples who make us think that maybe this entire experiment was created so they could meet. I think Tiffany is getting a bit nervous with how quick everything is moving, which just means that she’s a normal person! Getting married within less than a month of knowing someone would be overwhelming for anyone. Her comments about Brett’s spending habits also seemed a little off, but I think the conversation also could’ve been edited in a funky way. Either way, I’m rooting for them. They have soulmate energy.
Brett and Marshall

Okay, I know this is a bromance but I love every conversation they have. They’re both very mature and self-aware and are great at holding each other accountable. We rarely get to see this kind of vulnerability from two men on reality tv—let alone from two Black men. It’s very heartwarming and wholesome to see.
Tiffany’s friends
No because I started tearing up when Tiffany’s best friend was talking about how much she loves her. That scene really showed the power of fierce and enduring female friendship. It’s so abundantly clear that Tiffany gets so much of her strength and confidence from the people around her. We love a supportive, communicative friend group!
Bliss and Zach
Congrats to them, I guess! I think the engagement is very, very rushed and that they’re caught up in the thrill of being on reality television. BUT, they’re both sweet dorks and seem to have good chemistry with each other. Bliss doesn’t seem bothered enough that Zach picked a whole other woman over him. I will need a live reaction of her watching Zach sing Irina a song during his proposal a mere few days before. Zach’s pretty weird, in a seemingly harmless way but honestly they seem much more compatible than any of the couples I ranked below.
Paul and Micah
They aren’t attracted to each other and Micah seems like a mean girl. In the same way that Tiffany’s friends put her into context, Micah’s friends definitely put Micah into context (because they’re a hot mess). Paul seems committed to trying but I just feel like they don’t like each other enough to do the distance.
Jackie and Marshall
Anyways, Jackie has a whole lot of growing to do and Marshall is an absolute gem of a man. Very secure in himself and knows what he brings to the table. I empathize with Jackie, it’s clear that her experiences with love have been turbulent. But Marshall also deserves someone who appreciates him and Jackie just isn’t there rn.
Chelsea and Kwame
Kwame is a weird man and I have absolutely no clue why he’s pretending to want to marry Chelsea. He doesn’t like her! They spent their time passive aggressively arguing and incessantly calling each other babe to overcompensate for the lack of fun in their relationship. Kwame needs to man up and communicate with Chelsea. Cut her loose! Also, Chelsea speaking to Kwame like he’s her elementary school teacher is giving big, Michael and Jan from The Office during the dinner party episode, energy. You’re both embarrassing!!! Stand up!!!
Josh
Top 10 most embarrassing people I’ve ever seen on television. The way he tried to run up on Marshall. The way he was slurring his words and trying miserably to declare his unrequited love for Jackie? Absolutely disgraceful and jarring. Him and Jackie do make much more sense together, but he’s a certified weirdo and I honestly hate that I’ll have to see him in the next batch of episodes. Heal.
