When it comes to love, Vanessa Lachey And her husband, Nick LacheyKnow something or two. After all, they welcomed the popular Netflix reality meeting program, “Love is blind“, For eight seasons.

With the spectacle renewed for at least two more seasons, it is clear that fans cannot have enough drama. However, it is rare enough for Lacheys to weigh on controversy in mid-season. This is what makes the controversy between the candidates Daniel Hasting And Taylor The Hague One of the greatest of the season.

The Netflix reality TV show tries to test the premise of knowing if love is really blind by meeting singles in “pods” and communicating through a wall. Using only the strength of their emotional connection, they must engage before physical revelation. The show then follows the couples selected during a honeymoon and the process of planning their wedding, especially if they are tied or go to the altar.

The competitors seemed much more comfortable withdrawing from the show before even going to the wedding site during subsequent seasons, but the premise of the show led to several marriages and even some babies “Love is blind ». Many singles from the United States cities have asked to be in the series, hoping that they could find “that” through their personality, not their physical appearance.

However, this may not have been the case for Daniel and Taylor, because Taylor thinks that Daniel could have known what she looked like before their commitment.

Netflix dropped the first episodes of season 8 on Valentine’s Day, giving fans a chance to meet all the couples engaged before leaving for their honeymoon retirement. Although things looked like a fluid navigation between Taylor and Daniel, their first meeting – after their revelation of commitment – seemed to trigger red flags for Taylor, who thought he seemed familiar to him.

In the last moments of the last episode, she accused her new fiancé of following her on Instagram before meeting on the show. She had several things listed on her profile, such as her favorite fast food, the importance of her faith and other small details, which could have easier Daniel to his advantage by trying to convince her that he was “one. “”

And, to make things worse, it means that he knew what she looked behind the wall, essentially compromising the entire series.

Although the Lacheys generally wait for the special reunions to weigh on the most dramatic moments of the season, the actress “NCIS” said US Weekly That she and her husband actually had different opinions on the gravity of what Daniel had really followed Taylor on Instagram before meeting her in the show.

“It’s funny because it was one of those moments – we always tend to agree, but when we do not agree, we agree to disagree. And I said to myself: “I understand what she says”. And [Nick’s] For example, “I don’t think it’s so important,” she said, noting that this season “has really stressed the impact of social media on a relationship.”

“If someone follows you and knows a lot about you, is it just?” She asked. “And that didn’t give you the opportunity to really know them for whom they are because it’s personal. This is why it is Instagram and it is displayed. She had this little voice in the back of her head, and I am really proud of her for having spoken on it. »»

“Nick, once again, was like,” I don’t think it was so serious “, but I understood why it was a big problem for her,” continued Vanessa, adding: “We did not Never seen this particular scenario takes place before.

It is impossible to make sure that not all candidates know each other before being thrown into the series, although this season seems to be a little more local than some of the past seasons. For example, two competitors discovered in the pods that they had in fact frequented the same high school – fortunately, he was a few years apart.

It is definitely a major concern for Taylor that Daniel knew what she looked like before she was in the series because, for her, that would compromise all the experience. The show had a similar situation in a previous season when a woman met her ex and began to give her new romantic interest in unsolicited advice on her hobbies and her interests. She finally had the impression that she could not continue to experience fully with this knowledge and decided to leave.

Although fans will have to wait until Friday to find out if Daniel followed her on Instagram or not, this asks the question if she should abandon the show. To this, Kristin says no. It is certainly possible that he doesn’t Follow it on Instagram and the show only uses it to arouse an additional drama. But, even if he did, it is possible that he does not remember having added it. Of course, her biography says she loves Taco Bell and Christmas, but I can bet that Vanessa Lachey does it too. These details are not deep and they are certainly not enough to establish a relationship.

Taylor and Daniel have built an emotional link in the pods which should not be shaken by a possible following on social networks. The only alternative is that it found it unattractive and is simply looking for an excuse to end the commitment quickly. In this case, the only controversy is the reason why this experience still exists, when the candidates have repeatedly said that physical attractiveness plays or not so that they choose or not to say “I do it” altar.

At least it’s fun to watch.
