Love is Blind After the Altar Season 4 Plot
The fourth season of Love is Blind saw three couples tying the knot, who are surprisingly still married one year later. The married couples are happy, but the true story lies in the lives of the people who got up on the altar but never said ‘Yes!’. As the couples celebrate their anniversaries in the newest episodes, the others come to terms with their new lives and lingering feelings.
Love is Blind After the Altar Season 4 Review
We acknowledge that we don’t watch Love is Blind for anything other than the drama, right? I feel like the rather cringe storylines make it hard for you to think about anything else, even when the couples’ storylines are sometimes sweet or meaningful. Thus, you don’t care about the cute moments because there’s a lot of that in the first episode – you want things to move to the more awkward parts of the show quickly and weirdly enough, there’s not much mess to push through this time around. It’s a shame.
Love is Blind After the Altar season 4 gives us several hints that there’s something about to happen, some big confrontation is coming from right around the corner, but it never does. I don’t know, I feel like that’s a good thing, people maturing and all that, but like, what are we here for then? Either way, the drama, of course, mostly comes from the Jackie-Josh relationship and the Micah-Paul relationship. I have to say that the latter couple’s drama fizzles out within the first few minutes, and then it is just this very cringy conversation surrounding Paul’s mom promising to hurt Paul’s new girl for some reason. It’s so unnecessary.
Coming to the Jackie fiasco, the Marshall conversation ends quickly enough, with him apologising to her and Jackie continuing to be annoyed at the fact that people didn’t move on within the first hour of a messy breakup. However, the series, for some reason, brings forth this unknown woman, whom we never saw in the previous episode and who was apparently engaged to Josh originally, come up and start fighting with the couple. The conflict feels unnecessary and forced and ends in Jackie running away from a difficult situation, right on cue.
These are the moments that Love is Blind feels staged and made up if anything else didn’t make you feel that way. You are left to wonder what the point of the After the Altar episodes is, considering we already know that Paul has been dating someone and what is going on with all of the contestants’ lives. The football matches feel ingenuine, confusing, very over-the-top and extremely boring.
However, audiences who want to see married couples cosy up and be cute are going to have a swell time. Tiffany and Brett continue to be the couple whom everyone loves and looks up to. Despite the very messy hiccup at first, Zack and Bliss’s romance continues to be sugar sweet and Kwame and Chelsea also look happy. Their discussions surrounding how hard a marriage can be and the compromises one has to make are relatable, and other than the weird game that they play for too much of the runtime, they are quite lovely to watch.
Love is Blind After the Altar Season 4 Review: Final Thoughts
All in all, Love is Blind After the Altar Season 4 is a messy and uninteresting affair that isn’t about anything really and just meanders around aimlessly for some reason. There’s hardly any drama, and whatever little is there is over before we know it. The cringy boredom is not something that I thought I would have to come across in this show, but here we are.
