I just finished watching the Love Is Blind Season 11 wedding episodes, and I have to say, I’m horrified. Literally horrified.

I don’t know what happened with the group of men recruited for this season, but there have been so many questionable relationships, disappointing decisions, and downright uncomfortable moments.

I have a LOT of thoughts, so let’s get into it.

Sarah & John

I want to start with my biggest disappointment of the season: Sarah saying yes to John at the altar.

I posted a TikTok about Sarah and John a few days ago, before the weddings aired, and I’m going to insert that video here.

Honestly, my thoughts remain largely the same.

I just want Sarah to run far away from John. She’s beautiful, kind, empathetic, highly educated, and, quite frankly, out of this man’s league.

The male loneliness epidemic continues to intersect with an increasingly concerning political divide. Men are leaning more conservative and Republican, while women are increasingly leaning liberal and Democratic. And John gave me several reasons to question where he stands politically.

Between his anti-vaccine comments, his misinformed red-pill talking points about pregnancy termination timelines and women’s reproductive rights, and his background in a highly religious Christian household, there were several things that raised red flags for me.

I also have to mention his behavior toward service workers. Being rude to people who are simply doing their jobs is a massive red flag.

Then there’s the living situation. The mess, the lack of cleanliness, and the apparent disregard for maintaining a reasonably clean home. I can absolutely picture Sarah becoming the person responsible for cleaning up after him for the rest of their relationship.

And another thing that bothered me was how he seemed to navigate uncomfortable conversations by bringing up his MS diagnosis.

When Sarah’s family was preparing to question him further about his political beliefs, his MS diagnosis became part of the conversation, seemingly shifting everyone’s attention away from the original issue.

To be clear, his MS isn’t a problem for Sarah, nor should it automatically be a problem for anyone dating him. But his political beliefs are a separate conversation, and I don’t think those concerns should be brushed aside.

I don’t feel like we got enough from John to demonstrate that he’s willing to reconsider his political views or become an actual advocate for women and marginalized communities.

And honestly, that makes me sad.

It feels like Sarah may have compromised some of her own values to move forward with this relationship. By her own admission, she’s a political woman. She cares about what’s happening in the world, and she isn’t afraid to talk about it.

At one point during the wedding episodes, she even mentioned that John had expressed concerns about whether she would talk about politics too much.

Her response was essentially, yes, I will, and if you don’t like it, you can get rid of me now.

And she laughed it off.

But that’s not a small compatibility issue. That’s a fundamental difference in values that deserves a serious conversation.

Men who want access to women should care about the things that affect women. They should care about reproductive rights, human rights, and the political decisions that directly impact the lives of the women they’re dating.

Women shouldn’t have to settle for men who are politically indifferent or fundamentally opposed to the things they care about. And it certainly isn’t a woman’s responsibility to educate a grown man who has no interest in learning.

I also came across a few of John’s TikTok videos where he talked about how difficult it has been watching his scenes back on Love Is Blind.

And honestly, I don’t particularly care to hear how difficult the experience has been for him unless he’s willing to have an actual conversation about what he believes and whether those beliefs have changed.

Because the way things currently stand, I’m still left questioning whether he’s a MAGA supporter and a Trump supporter.

And in 2026, given everything this administration has done, I find that incredibly concerning.

Until we hear an actual statement from John about his political beliefs and what he stands for, I’m not particularly interested in hearing about how uncomfortable it has been watching himself on television.

I’m just disappointed that Sarah decided to follow through with this marriage because she was genuinely my favorite woman this season.

And it gave me flashbacks to Nancy and Bartise from Season 3.

Nancy openly stood her ground when it came to women’s reproductive rights, while Bartise embodied so many of the red-pill talking points that made their relationship difficult to watch.

History feels like it’s repeating itself.

Thankfully, Nancy and Bartise didn’t get married, and I consider that a win for Nancy.

I don’t feel like Sarah’s decision is a win for her unless John has genuinely reconsidered his views and is willing to demonstrate that through his actions.

*UPDATE* — Accorsing to TMZ, Sarah and John are now divorced.

Cam & Aneha

Moving on to Cam and Aneha.

Honestly, it was difficult for me to root for Aneha in the beginning because I found her personality a little abrasive.

She could be aggressive, taunting, condescending, and sometimes just difficult to listen to. Even the cadence of her speech wasn’t particularly enjoyable for me.

However, as the season progressed and we learned more about their financial situation, I started understanding why she was so hesitant to fully invest in the relationship.

When she revealed that she was essentially paying for everything between them, that definitely changed my perspective.

If she’s accustomed to relationships where men take on more of a provider role, suddenly finding herself engaged to someone who either doesn’t want to be a provider or isn’t financially positioned to be one could understandably become a major point of contention.

That being said, I wasn’t particularly fond of how frequently she brought up the possibility that her family wouldn’t accept Cam because he’s white.

As a Black woman married to a white man, I found some of those conversations uncomfortable.

I would never want my husband to feel like he was being made to defend his whiteness or justify his place in my family. And I chose a husband who would never make me feel uncomfortable about my Blackness.

If you’re going to enter an interracial marriage, there has to be a level of thoughtfulness surrounding conversations about race and family acceptance.

And for the person marrying into a family that may not accept them, you also have to seriously consider whether you’re willing to build a life with someone whose family may reject you for something you didn’t choose and cannot change.

Neither of us chose our skin color, and neither of us can change it.

If Cam had married Aneha, he potentially would have been marrying into a family that didn’t particularly like him simply because he’s white. And that’s a difficult dynamic to navigate.

We also learned that Cam had some history with Hinduism and was open to practicing it, so I don’t think religious differences necessarily explained everything that was happening between them.

There was a lot of discussion on social media about whether Aneha was actually attracted to Cam and whether she was using their racial and religious differences, along with her parents’ opinions, as a way to distance herself from the relationship.

I can understand why people came to that conclusion.

In the beginning, she was constantly nitpicking his appearance, commenting on his haircut, suggesting he get a piercing, and telling him he needed to elevate his look.

That definitely gave the impression that she wasn’t particularly attracted to him.

But as the season progressed, I actually started thinking she may have developed an attraction to him.

I think the financial situation was a much bigger obstacle than people were giving it credit for.

I also came across an interview or podcast where Anjéha discussed how their financial differences were a significant issue, particularly from her parents’ perspective.

And honestly, I’m not judging her that harshly for that.

Take her parents out of the equation. If she personally wants a husband who can take on a provider role, that’s a perfectly valid relationship preference. Cam simply wasn’t in a position to offer her that.

We learned that Anjéha was paying approximately $3,000 a month for her apartment, while Cam was paying around $750 to rent a room from his sister.

Her apartment wasn’t particularly spacious, but it was in a desirable area where she wanted to live.

For them to build a life together, somebody would have had to make some significant financial sacrifices.

She could have downgraded her lifestyle and moved somewhere more affordable that Cam could contribute toward, or she could have continued paying significantly more than him while they lived together.

Neither option is particularly appealing if you’re already concerned about financial compatibility.

I think too many people were focused on whether Anjéha was physically attracted to Cam when there were much bigger practical issues standing in the way of this marriage.

And then, after the engagement ended, she made another comment that I thought was worth discussing.

She said that 28-year-old Cam wasn’t marriage material and explained that he had been much more talkative, inquisitive, vulnerable, and emotionally open while they were in the pods.

But once they started spending time together in person, she felt like he lost some of that vulnerability.

And honestly, that’s another perfectly valid reason to reconsider a marriage.

Nobody wants to feel like they’re carrying an entire relationship emotionally.

It’s exhausting when you’re constantly trying to initiate meaningful conversations, get to know your partner on a deeper level, and create emotional intimacy, only to feel like you’re talking to a wall.

I’m not saying Cam was necessarily doing that intentionally, but from Aneha’s perspective, that’s clearly how she experienced the relationship.

All things considered, I actually think the relationship ending was a win for Cam, too.

I saw so many video edits of him where people were joking that the life force was slowly being drained from his eyes the longer he spent with Anjéha.

And honestly, they just didn’t seem compatible.

I think they’re both better off finding people whose expectations, lifestyles, and relationship values align with their own.

Wilnie & Wilson

Wilnie and Wilson…? I’m actually very happy they didn’t make it to the wedding day. I don’t think they should have attempted to get married in the first place.

His complaints about carrying her luggage at the airport had me absolutely floored.

My husband loves carrying my luggage at the airport. He enjoys doing little things that lighten my load and make me feel loved.

That’s how he expresses affection.

So the fact that Wilson seemed to have such an issue with something as simple as carrying his fiancée’s luggage was bizarre to me.

And then there’s this whole idea of him wanting to be in his princess era and be the prize.

Listen, my husband is very aware that I’m the prize, and he’s the victor. He is the winner of the prize.

I don’t understand this growing trend of men competing with women to be the prize, constantly trying to humble the woman they’re dating, or acting like doing something thoughtful for their partner somehow diminishes their own value.

It’s bizarre, and honestly, I feel bad for single women navigating the dating pool right now.

Have we collectively forgotten the conversation surrounding Simone Biles and her husband? Men who constantly position themselves as the prize while making their partners feel less valuable tend to attract a lot of criticism for good reason.

We’ve also seen similar conversations surrounding Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez, particularly when people interpret his comments as suggesting Selena was somehow desperate to be with him.

I’m not saying Wilnie was the most likable cast member this season. There were definitely moments when her behavior frustrated me.

But I don’t think she was asking for too much.

When a man genuinely loves you and is attracted to you, doing little things that make you feel appreciated, cherished, and cared for shouldn’t feel like an inconvenience.

Carrying your luggage, opening a door, making your life a little easier, and showing affection through thoughtful gestures are not unreasonable expectations.

That being said, I think Wilnie was asking for too much from Wilson specifically.

It was becoming increasingly obvious that they weren’t compatible.

I think Wilson started coming to terms with that realization during the bachelor party when he was talking to his friends.

Initially, he kept the conversation relatively light and surface-level. But the longer they talked, the more he started expressing his doubts and admitting that he wasn’t sure how he felt about the relationship.

And then came their breakup conversation, where he told her to grow up.

That was incredibly rude. I felt like his nice-guy persona started slipping during that final conversation.

Throughout the season, he seemed to be trying very hard to maintain this image of a nice, reasonable guy, but I don’t know how serious he ever was about actually marrying Willney.

And something else stood out to me during their breakup. When they hugged, Willney made a comment about how that was probably the tightest hug he’d given her throughout their entire relationship.

I thought that one little comment revealed so much about their lack of physical affection and emotional compatibility.

Wilnie is a beautiful woman, and I don’t think she’s asking for too much in a relationship.

I just think she was asking for too much from someone who wasn’t willing or interested in giving her what she wanted.

Blake & Erica

I’m also very happy that Blake and Erica decided to end their relationship before making it to the actual wedding day.

There were so many signs that they weren’t necessarily suited for marriage, and I discussed some of those concerns in a TikTok video a few days ago.

I’m going to insert that clip here.

A lot of my original thoughts remain the same, but I do have a few additional things I want to discuss.

First, Blake’s behavior after the breakup was not a good look.

When he was alone talking to the camera, he laughed about the breakup and seemed to make light of the entire experience.

They asked him about the fact that he and Erica had been crying during their breakup conversation, and he essentially responded that he hadn’t been crying; she had.

He turned it into a joke.

And honestly, it made him come across as incredibly callous and immature.

I felt bad for Erica because she had been very open about how difficult it was to process the idea of starting over in her mid-thirties.

She knows she wants marriage and children, and now she’s back at square one, trying to find someone whose timeline and expectations align with hers.

She discussed some of those fears with Michaela, and I remember thinking about how ironic that conversation was.

Because while Erica was expressing her fears about starting over, I was having the exact same thoughts about Willney.

That could very well be your situation soon, too.

I think Blake and Erica can both find what they’re looking for, but clearly, they aren’t going to find it in each other.

And honestly, I still think my original assessment of Blake stands.

He seems to have created a beautiful life for himself, one built around freedom, flexibility, travel, and career opportunities.

As someone who is child-free by choice, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not wanting children.

You don’t have to want marriage and children just because that’s what other people expect from you.

You just have to find someone whose vision for the future aligns with yours.

My issue was never that Blake might not want children. My issue was that his lifestyle and career didn’t seem particularly conducive to the kind of marriage and family life Erica wanted.

And his behavior after the breakup only reinforced my impression that he wasn’t approaching the experience with the same emotional seriousness as Erica.

I genuinely hope they both find what they’re looking for.

Rob & Michaela

Rob and Michaela didn’t even make it to the wedding episodes, but I absolutely have to talk about them.

I made a TikTok about their relationship, and I’m going to insert that clip here.

First of all, I am incredibly proud of Michaela for walking away from her relationship with Rob.

He was an extremely triggering person to watch, particularly for anyone who has experienced a relationship with a man who behaves similarly.

Some of the interactions between them were genuinely difficult to sit through.

The night Michaela met Rob’s friends was particularly disturbing.

His friends came across like a group of overgrown frat boys who drink too much, disrespect women, and seem to have very little regard for how their behavior affects the people around them.

Honestly, the entire situation was uncomfortable to watch.

Michaela held her own while surrounded by these British men who were degrading and humiliating her.

But I think that evening revealed a lot about Rob’s character.

His fear of being canceled essentially became a reality at that table because people were finally seeing the behavior that had been concerning Michaela throughout their relationship.

I also think Rob’s situation was a classic case of self-sabotage.

Michaela seemed willing to work through a lot of his obnoxious and chaotic behavior, and I think the realization that he had someone who was genuinely willing to accept him may have overwhelmed him.

Rather than appreciating that, he seemed to push the relationship toward its own destruction.

She deserved so much better. Another moment that really bothered me was Rob becoming offended when he saw Sarah crying.

Her friends love her. They care about her. They’re allowed to empathize with her and become emotional when they see someone they love being treated poorly.

That’s what friendship looks like.

Rob tried to suggest that everyone was judging him simply because he had a conversation with Diana, but that wasn’t the issue.

The problem was how he handled the situation afterward.

He started cursing people out, talking down to everyone, and creating unnecessary drama when everyone else was relatively calm.

It was completely disproportionate.

We also didn’t get to see much of Michaela’s relationship development with the beekeeper in the pods, but honestly, I sometimes wonder whether she would have been much better off if she had gotten engaged to him instead.

I know Michaela ended her engagement with Rob before the wedding dress shopping episode.

I sincerely hope she’s held her ground and stayed away from him.

My thoughts about them haven’t really changed. I’m incredibly proud of Michaela for walking away, and I hope she’s continued to stand by that decision.

I guess we’ll find out more when the reunion premieres on Netflix.

Stew & Jax

Last but not least, Stew and Jax.

I actually really like these two together, especially after seeing that they’ve started spending time together again and potentially exploring the possibility of rekindling their relationship.

Even though they ended their engagement, they still seemed to maintain a connection.

They didn’t go to Mexico, they didn’t participate in the bachelor and bachelorette parties, and they skipped the wedding dress and tuxedo shopping experiences.

Essentially, they cut their participation in the experiment short.

But they were still invited to some of the group events, and I really enjoyed seeing their energy together.

I do want to do a little more research into where they stand today.

The last thing I remember seeing was that Stew was still friends with Jax and that they had maintained a good relationship.

But I haven’t seen anything definitive about whether they’ve actually pursued a romantic relationship again.

One of the craziest things about this season is that, out of all the couples who got engaged in the pods, Stew and Jax somehow ended up being my favorite.

And they’re the couple who cut things short earlier than everyone else!

There’s just something incredibly endearing and charming about them when they’re together.

Individually, I don’t know if I necessarily have the same feelings about them. But as a couple, there’s a sweetness to their dynamic that I really enjoyed watching.

I don’t know where things stand today, but I genuinely hope they’re both doing well.

Final Thoughts

So those are my thoughts on the Love Is Blind Season 11 weddings!

Overall, this season was a lot to unpack. We had political incompatibility, financial incompatibility, questionable relationship dynamics, men who seemed uncomfortable with basic expressions of affection, and some genuinely disappointing behavior.

And honestly, I think one of the biggest takeaways from this season is that getting engaged isn’t the same thing as being compatible.

You can have chemistry in the pods, enjoy the excitement of a new relationship, and genuinely want marriage, but that doesn’t mean the person standing across from you is the right person to build a life with.

And sometimes walking away is the biggest win.

The reunion episode premieres exactly one week from yesterday, so I’m looking forward to seeing what these couples have to say now that they’ve had time to watch everything back.

Especially John. I have questions. Let me know what you thought about the Season 11 weddings, which couples you were rooting for, and whether you agree with my assessments.
