Love may be blind, but political differences can still serve as deals.
This was the case for contestants in the eighth season of the famous reality program for Netflix “Love Is Blind”. The contestants, Sarah Cartoon and Virginia Miller, shocked the fans at the end of last week when they both rejected their matches, Ben Mezinga and Difyin Bakli.
Both women were cited differences in political opinions as the main reasons for their reluctance, which sparked online speech on whether romantic relations could flourish without political consensus. Some viewers called Cartoon and Miller because they were unwilling to be with their partners because they did not “wake up.” Others praised them to stay faithful to their values.
In recent years, politics and acquaintance have continued to be a hot topic, especially as countries It has become more political and cultural. A The latest report from the Center for Survey in American LifeAnd a non -partisan research group found that “73 % of the college -educated women will be less likely to the date of Trump’s supporter.”
“Love is blind,” which focuses this season on the inhabitants of Minynabolis, exploring whether people can fall in love before they see each other personally. In “Al -Qarn”, the history of the contestants dates back to each other, and they speak on the wall for successive hours, and then meet face to face only after that suggestion. Then they spend the next few weeks determining whether they want to go with the wedding, which was all documented on the camera.
Until recently, the stories of the presentation have greatly ignored.
Last season, which appeared Washington, the spouses and filmed before the presidential elections, was the first time that couples were asking each other about how they voted.
This time, political talks have been shown prominently as part of Cartoon and Miller’s trips. Their decisions proved that they are flash points on the Internet, as it criticizes conservative characters such as Tomi Lahren and Laura Ingraham Carton.
“Let’s find a nice and 20 -year -old girl,” Ingharaham Books on xShare the Lahren clip from Carton and Mezznga in the altar. “He will look back and laugh at this.”
“This season was a reminder that” reality TV is a reflection of our society.
“It is interesting how we see what is happening in the dating market now He said in the latest episode of podcast. “It seems like how it is supposed to settle and marry if all our options are people who oppose the policy that concerns us?”
During the “centuries”, Cartoon, 29 -year -old nurse, told many of her addresses that her sister was a homosexual. Cartoon said she is looking for a partner who believes in LGBTQ rights. She also asked some about their views about the Black Lives Matter movement, jointly that she had been more involved in social issues after the death of George Floyd in its mother city.
Its match, Ben Mizinga, a 28 -year -old developer, said that he often goes to the church, but “he does not suffer from discomfort about this society at all,” referring to LGBTQ people. He said he was “ignorant” of politics and BLM.
In real life, after their participation but before the wedding, mezenga was seen meeting with a cartoon sister. Her sister seems to be hesitant because the two are made to each other. Cartoon also goes to the church with Mezzinga to learn more about his beliefs and perspectives.
Ultimately, in the altar, Carton gave mezenga. I told him: “Ben, I love you so much.” “But I always wanted to be a partner at the same wavelength. To this day, I can’t.”
She told her mother and sister after she left the ceremony that she was concerned that “there is no curiosity on his part.”
She said, “I asked him about the life of blacks.” “I am not an expert, but when I asked him about it, it is like,” I think I did not think much about it. “
Mezzinga was seen praying with his friends after the cartoon rejects it. During the reunification, I touched on the causes of Cartoon to say no.
“I knew that entering this experience, certainly had an honor in my life, and this is something I was not proud of and something I knew I needed to grow. Then when you reached this, I knew it was important for Sarah in the centuries. So I wanted to be weak and to be like,” hey, I did not think much. ”
“You know, I am embarrassed by the way our conversation went at first there, but then we had great conversations on this topic,” he said. “So there is just a specific effect on me, and I have Sarah to thank her for that. I know that it is sad that it took someone to make me think this way.”
Cartoon said that the two have tried so far after concluding the show to see if they could make things work, but Mezzinga stopped talking to her until he sent a text apology. ”
Meanwhile, Miller, a 34 -year -old health care recruiter, and Bakli, manager and 29 -year -old coach, avoided, to a large extent talking about politics until the tenth episode of the season, when they participated in an explicit conversation on the camera.
Bakli said that he was not “great in politics” and indicated that his family usually had conservative opinions. Miller said she does not mind if the two are sharing different political opinions, but it would “somewhat anxiety” if “the way on the other side of the spectrum” in the political issues that concern it.
In the altar, Bakly said, “I am doing,” but Miller said: “I love you so much, but I am not ready.” In her confession during the end, the policy was mentioned, but she did not explain more – even the reunification episode that was broadcast on Sunday.
“Devin told me a lot about his basic values, which he does not want to talk about on the camera.” Miller said. “To this day, I am still not really comfortable to tell you Devin’s opinions. But I will be very clear to me. I am 100 % support for LGBTQ. I also think that women should make the decision to choose whether they want to perform a miscarriage or not. I also think that different religions should be appreciated. … These were really important things for me.”
In response, Paccli said that in a relationship he can “look after some things.”
“I think you can be together and have a relationship and do not completely agree on everything,” he said. “And I think something is great for me, as a Christian, is to love everyone, regardless of my feeling about something.”
