This is my first time watchingLove Is Blind.
I know, I know, Im wildly behind and its been wildly embarrassing.
Particularly if that was after ten days.
They could not be worse for each other.
It is a car crash, and each episode I root for them to break up.
Heres a breakdown of the argument of the century (which still ends with them together).
Will she have the self-control not to destroy their night?
(She will not.)
Is She Cranky or Fishing?
The first shot is fired.
Clearly, this means she is still cranky with him.
You cant be cranky with me, Jimmy dares to say.
Jimmy tries to defend himself based on actions, but Chelsea is primarily concerned with her image.
Chelsea keeps saying that she doesnt want to deal with someone who goes out, which is ludicrous.
Jimmy is talking about actions, Chelsea is talking about perceptions.
And she must make it his fault.
Im Really Trying to Dive Into This, and You Dont Give Two Shits
Okay!
They toggle back to the bar again quickly, but we will come back to this.
Girl Friend vs.
Girlfriend
And then I find out youre with your girls, Chelsea says.
You had to know this would be a problem when the girls were revealed, right?
Of course, this is fine on an objective level they are his friends!
But consider this: Chelsea is (say it with me now)insecure.
She would like him to not have girl friends.
He is (of course) unwilling to do this.
Chelsea Goes Nuclear
Oops!
This is relevant to the argument, but theyre not having a normal argument.
They are having an argument on TV, which is not something Chelsea cares about.
In bringing it up, Chelsea crosses a clear boundary, and he tells her so.
The Jess Thing
Jess was always going to be an issue.
Chelsea chose Jimmy over Trevor because she wanted something that the Kardashian wanted.
There is no way for us to know if Jess was there.
(I do not think she was there, as Chelsea steadfastly refuses to give any proof.)
The Does Jimmy Want to Go Out a Lot?
Debate
No, Jimmy does not want to go out a lot.
He was gone for an hour and a half.
She is being ridiculous.
Does Jimmy Even Like Her?
Now weve finally arrived.
After approximately 8,000 mini-arguments that are not about the thing, the thing comes up.
Is Jimmy into Chelsea?
Heterosexual couples are obsessed with therapy-speak.
Chelsea, meanwhile, goes into a manipulative baby-girl mode, begging him not to leave.
The boundary crossing in question was not Chelsea saying Jimmy didnt love her that was just mean.
The boundary was revealing on-camera that Jimmy boned one of his friends.
The question, to me, is ifthatswhat actually mattered here.
And Now, a Prediction …
Episode 11 ends on a cliffhanger, with Jimmy asking Chelsea where shes at with the marriage thing.
To me, this is no cliffhanger at all.
Chelsea wants to wear her dress.
She was so desperately excited during the try-on!
Whether or not they both say yes or no remains TBD, but the wedding is coming.
