The grand idea behind the reality showLove Is Blindis to encourage love between two people based solely on personalities. However, not all cast members appear to be there for the right reasons, and not everyone comes off in a positive light, either in the pods or after meeting in person. A few even stand out for their behavior back in the suites during the initial dating process.
What defines the worstLove Is Blindcontestants? It’s those who have said or done awful things, or simply come off as unlikable. In some cases, the worstLove Is Blindcast members are named as such because they seemingly didn’t understand the point of the show, or made decisions as part of their journey that viewers did not support. With a new season as well as the debut ofLove Is Blind UK, there’s a lot of cast members to both love and despise. Some of the latest worstLove Is Blindcontestants bring a whole new level of wow to the series, not in a good way.
Love Is Blind
15Hannah Jiles
There’s a lot of online debate over who is worse,Hannah JilesorNick Dorka, one of several couples who made it to the proposal stages of the season. But there were moments while on vacation after meeting Hannah that really rubbed people the wrong way. While she indicated that she felt Nick misrepresented himself by comparing his looks to people like Henry Cavill and Travis Kelce and repeatedly mentioning that he played football and worked out, physical appearance isn’t the issue.
It’s that one moment with the ornamental ducks on the beach that made fans feel as though Hannah wasn’t in this for love. When Nick playfully said he wanted to go ride on one of them, she turned up her nose. When he enjoyed racing with an older woman who was all for having fun, Hannah got jealous. The fact that she also wrote a list of reservations she had about him and left it out for him to see was immature. It seems she’s far from being ready to be in a committed, long-term relationship.
14Sarah Anne Bick
Sarah Anne was definitely not a “girl’s girl.“AfterJeramey LutinskichoseLaura Dadismaninstead of her, Sarah Anne didn’t back away gracefully. She reached out to Jeramey letting him know that if things didn’t work out, she’d be there. That led to a huge blow-up in one ofthe best episodes ofLove Is BlindSeason 6. When AD (Amber Desiree) tried to have a heart-to-heart with Sarah Anne about her behavior, she defended it with the typical “I’m not here to make friends” and that she wasn’t trying to interfere but felt that maybe he made the wrong decision.
It was clear during the reunion that every other woman on the show kept in touch with one another through a group chat and Sarah Anne wasn’t part of it. While she continued to date Jeramey on and off, her part in the breakdown of his engagement to Laura should not be discounted. She showed little respect and treated the show like a game.
13Irina Solomonova
Pegged as the season’s villain, Irina was the worst right from the beginning. While she talked about her personal insecurities during the private interview segments, she came across as a mean girl in the suite with the girls. She listened in on conversations and laughed at women who were crying and upset about their pod dates. She andMicahtalked behind the ladies’ backs, and she stirred up drama unnecessarily.
But what fans really didn’t like about Irina was the way she manipulatedZack. After convincing him to choose her overBliss, she was clearly not physically attracted to him and made that abundantly clear. Their vacation time in Mexico was awkward with little physical contact. So much so that they decided to end things there. Irina defended her position and apologized for some of the things she said and did during the reunion episode. But she didn’t come across in a positive light on the show.
12Carlton Morton
Carltondidn’t last long on the show, though he was one of the people who got engaged. When he metDiamondin person, he vulnerably opened up to her about his bisexuality. She was understandably taken aback, noting later that she felt this was something he should have revealed in the pods. As an important part of his life and sexuality, she felt he should have disclosed that information before proposing to her.
Carlton instantly became defensive and began to hurl hurtful insults at Diamond, and she retaliated with some of her own. He threw the engagement ring in the pool and stormed off. It made for great TV and ranks as one ofthe bestLove Is Blindepisodesfor the mix of drama with sweetness from some of the other couples. But it made Carlton out to be a villain. Later, whenLaurenmet with him and tried to convince him to come to their After the Altar reunion and one-year anniversary event, he remained bitter and angry about how he was portrayed. It’s understandable that he would feel vilified and didn’t want to put himself in an uncomfortable position. But he still remains one of the worst cast members because of that very heated moment.
11Shaina Hurley
Shainaportrayed herself as the innocent one, and repeatedly tried to clear her name throughout the show as well as during the specials after.Shaynechose Natalie over her, because Shaina didn’t express her feelings about him as openly. When she did, it made Shayne visibly torn. Instead of respecting Natalie, however, Shaina continued to have conversations with Shayne, often questioning whether Natalie was right for him.
It became a “he-said, she-said” situation when Natalie claimed that Shaina continued to be in touch with Shayne, while she said they were just friends. Beyond that love triangle, however, fans did not like the way Shaina treatedKyle. After clearly not being attracted to him and citing their deep religious differences, she slept in another room on vacation and left abruptly.There was just something about her that didn’t sit right with fans, making her one of the most hatedLove Is Blindcontestants.
10Matt Bolton
Mattis half of one of the marriages from his season, andtheLove Is Blindcouple is still going strong. But during filming, some of his actions threw fans for a loop.He came across as jealous, controlling, and temperamental. At one point, he wanted to pack up and leave because his fiancé,Colleen,went out with the other ladies. He discussed his previous relationship and the fact that he was cheated on, and it seemed like he was unfairly projecting those insecurities onto Colleen. She did everything she could to convince him that she was committed.
Later, in the reunion episode, fans analyzed Colleen’s body language, noting that she seemed scared and uncomfortable and that he was sitting very closely to her. The pair refuted any claims that there was trouble, with Colleen saying she was simply nervous and not in a good headspace because of all the negative commentary she had read online. Matt might have since redeemed himself, but fans didn’t like the side of him he showed in certain episodes.
9Jackelina Bonds
Jackelina, known as Jackie on the show, didn’t start as one of the worst cast members. She formed a strong bond withMarshalland the two seemed to get along well once they met in person. But the passion fizzled out fairly quickly. They had fights where they both said terrible things to one another, and it didn’t seem like the engagement would last.
What particularly made Jackie one of the worst, however, was when Marshall learned fromBrettwhile at their tuxedo fitting that Jackie never showed up to the wedding dress fitting that was taking place at the same time. He left gracefully and met up with Jackie, who revealed that she wanted to break up. What’s worse is that she met withJosh, another guy she connected with in the pods, and they began to explore a relationship.While Jackie should never have stuck with Marshall if she wasn’t in love with him, her actions by blindsiding him like that were unfair.
8Jessica Batten
Jessicawas one of the most talked-about cast members in the first season for various reasons. First was her love triangle withBarnettandMark. After Barnett chose Amber instead, Jessica went back to Mark, pleading for him to forgive her and still propose. He did, but when they met in person, there was a clear lack of spark. Meanwhile, she took many opportunities to talk to Matt and question his decision about Amber, which rightfully bothered Amber (and Barnett).
Through the episodes, it was clear Jessica was not romantically with Mark at all.She later claimed in interviews that she wanted to leave the show but was encouraged to stay at leastup to the wedding episode. Nonetheless, other moments, like feeding wine to her dog from her glass and constantly bringing up the age difference between her and Mark, made fans cringe.
7Leo Braudy
Leodidn’t do anything particularly heinous to the women with whom he connected in the pods beyond what some might call manipulating their feelings. But there was something overall about Leo that just made fans feel icky. He introduced himself as a successful art dealer who inherited his family’s business through a series of tragedies. He said he wanted to come on the show so he could find someone who wanted him for him, and not for his money.
But then he proceeded to talk about nothing but the fact that he was wealthy. With the ladies in the pods, with the men back in the suite, even in his diary room sessions, he discussed his net worth. He showed off his fancy watch and put dollar signs on every conversation.There was nothing at all endearing about Leo, so it’s no surprise things didn’t work outwith either of the women with whom he found himself in a love triangle.
6Catherine Richards
‘Love Is Blind UK’ Season 1
Catherinedidn’t stand out much at first, and fans were happy for her when she giddily metFreddie Powellafter their proposal, and she discovered that he’s absolutely gorgeous. But why fans despise Catherine so much is that Freddie is stunning inside and out, yet she doesn’t seem to appreciate that. His playful side became hidden, and it seemed as though he was not able to be his true self around her.
When meeting with others,Catherine proceeds to flirtintently withSam, then gets upset when Freddie merely mentions that another cast member was quite pretty. The way she treated Freddie had fans viewing her like a dark cloud over his shining light. Fans breathed a sigh of relief when they did not go through with the wedding.
