One could argue (and many do) thatLove Is Blindis a dating experiment.

Article image

Id be more inclined to buy into this thesis if it werent a nationally televised sensation.

Boss move, low-key.

Laura telling Jeramey to bean dip AD on the beach?

Article image

But the season has come a long way from the pods and the shores of the Dominican Republic.

15.Nick and Vanessa Lachey

15.

I literally forgot that they were associated with this franchise.

Article image

14.Chelsea

14.

I blame casting for Chelsea.

This is a woman who was set up to fail.

Article image

Simply put, insecurity is the antithesis of power.

13.Clays Dad, Trevor

13.

While the dynamicscan be explained, they cannot be excused.

Article image

This leaves Clay as the next Gravesande with the opportunity to break the cycle.

Its not looking good, folks.

12.Clay

12.

Article image

But that would have taken courage, a quality in which Clay is apparently bankrupt.

11.Jeramey

11.

Jerameys behaviors speak for themselves.

Article image

However, the spelling of Jerameys name needs to be spoken for.

I demand an explanation.

10.Matthew

10.

Article image

Matthews presence in this season was as bewildering as it was short-lived.

AD compared him to a pistachio a hard shell with something nice on the inside.

Im not sure I see what she saw in Matthew, but I certainly agree that hes a nut.

Article image

9.Laura and Jessica (tied)

9.

For all of Jesss talk of EpiPens, she demurred when she was actually confronted with Jimmy.

8.Trevor

8.

Article image

Not powerful, not weak, simply vibing out.

Trevor is the control group among this seasons cast, the benchmark against which power is measured.

7.Jimmy

7.

Article image

The bar is low, but he still rose above it.

6.Kenneths phone addiction

6.

An addiction so powerful that it caused the demise of an engagement.

Article image

Admittedly, this is a bit of an exaggeration.

The only explanation for how a phone could be more powerful than a new fiancee?

He must have discovered theCinematrix.

Article image

5.Sarah Ann

5.

Before you come for me, remember that this is a power ranking, not a likability ranking.

4.Lost & Found in Charlotte, North Carolina

4.

Article image

No, Sarah Ann wasnt the ultimate winner of the Jeramey-Laura-Sarah Ann love triangle.

Opportunism is a risk, but its paying off for Lost & Found.

The club is milking every second of its 15 minutes, and I have to respect that.

Article image

3.Johnny, Amy, and the Power of Love

3.

If Johnny and Amy are to be believed, the answer is yes.

And thats a powerful delivery on such a lofty premise.

Article image

2.AD

2.

AD had a rough go of it this season.

And at the worst of times, she was left at the altar.

Article image

Through it all, AD displayed levels of grace and self-possession that defied the very show she was on.

1.Clays Mom, Margarita

1.

She did all this calmly and deliberately, and all without centering herself.

It was a master class in wielding wisdom and power as a force of good.
