You know. They're not the worst part. Yeah. It's the dais filled with the zeros from past seasons. I don't want to hear from Zach and Bliss. Oh, me and Zach love each other. Oh, wow. Who gives a shit?

Yeah. Fucking tools. I hate them. Oh, by the way, Kwame is still trapped with that, uh, that girl, whoever that, remember them from Seattle? Yeah. Chelsea. Chelsea, poor Kwami.

He's still with her. and I guarantee it so that they can show up to this show once a year to be relevant. My poor Kwamey, hope he's getting some side ass. Patrick, her apartment was pink. It was clean. And she has a very, very fit body. So I hope that she's getting side ass. How's that?

Okay. Welcome to the Patriot exclusive recap of the finale of the season 10 of the Love is Blind. I am Dylan. I'm Pat. And that is Papaya, Ruby. That's right.

God, it's so good to be back in here. I longed for this room. I longed for this moment. I was in kind of pretty fervent, thick anticipation for this season finale. What was to happen between Mikey and Emma? What was to happen between that?

You know what? Somebody said that, what's his name, Giovante? Devante. Devante. Looks like one of those specifically sourced bulldogs. I think that's an insult to Bulldogs. I think he's one of the most strangely hideous people I've ever encountered on my television set. Anyways, we've got all the couples to go over.

Did it disappoint, though, Patty? Why don't you go ahead and give your blindfolds first? Okay. I don't think it disappointed because there were some twists and turns there. We have a new term in the Love is Blind mythology. How bad is it? How bad is it? They're all still in there. Really? Mm-hmm.

I just dropped my vial of joints and there's a lot of soot at the bottom of that. It appears to be fine. All right. May I continue my blindfolds? There's a new term in the mythology that I am going to start and it should be in the lore of love is blind. What Ashley did to Alex on that altar, she's a nabdom. She's an abdum, yeah. She's an abdum.

Yeah. We haven't seen a Zanab job. We've all, we've all, can I prefer a moment? The three of us all together, we had Zanab job in our notes, correct? I mean, this was a synabab. Yep. She's an abdum. Now, to remind the audience, this was a number of seasons back.

I believe it was season two, which was an absolutely horrible season. It was the, what do you call it? What happens when it's a sophomore slum? Sophomor slub. It was absolutely horrible casting. Oh, there's... Famously, Hanson. Who hasn't had a sophomore slump?

I mean... Season 3. I thought their second record was pretty good. Can I tell you something? I love the origin of this. I love that it's a term. I think it's important, and I know that these are your blindfolds,

but can we just really quickly say that there's like this weird wrinkle to the origin of this way? And I don't think the original target of the Zanab job was deserving really in any way, shape, or form. He was just kind of like a nice, up if I recall correct wreck. This guy does, but anyways. Well, I've thought a lot about Alex.

It was interesting that he actually has friends and it seemed like he actually had relationships. I'll get to him using every aspect of life and the need to use a soccer analogy. But, you know, Alex is a douchebag and his stories aren't straight, but I will say, I don't think he really heard her in the sense. He basically was a checked out dude. And we've seen worse on this show. But I guess we can debate that later. I just worry for you. I worry for you a little bit because I think my baby sister is really going to

tear you a new ass way over that. I think what Devante did to Brittany or is currently doing to her is much worse, which is playing with that poor girl's heart. A toad. A toad. Now, let's get to Christine and Vic. What a horrible way to book in this season. There was a deep, dark,

part of my soul was hoping that Mikey's family, you know, from the old country, would shoot up the place? Well, they went to the wrong venue. Dylan. No, they went to the wrong venue. I'm talking about a funny Tommy gone gangster Italian shoot-up. It was a car bomb. It was a car bomb. This is hilarious,

what's wrong? They meant to kill the entire wedding party because they could not let that wedding happen, but they went to the wrong venue. And they were like, Mikey, what the fuck did you do? This is, this is to me a boring. and Natasha kind of goof. Okay, that's the way I'm seeing it. So it's, it's like the,

the opening scene in the Punisher, but it's an S&L sketch. Right, right. Yeah, 100%. Oh, yeah, that was, I don't know which Punisher you're referring to because there was. Thomas Jane Punisher, of course. They, where they kill his entire family. He's weeping on the beach. Yeah. I'll tell you what. You want to see a good version of that. Dolph Longgren did a version of the Punisher underrated in 1990. The Thomas Jane version of the Punisher is so, underrated. John Travolta is a horrible bad guy in that film. Oh, I forgot. He's the bad guy in that. But let me move on. Yeah. I want to talk about the vows or the non-vows. Can we really quickly? Yes. Because the fans like our tangents. And I know that this film is very, very important to Ruby. So if we could just give her a couple of moments to discuss a couple of moments to discuss, Pat, I agree with you. He is not a good bad guy. But it doesn't matter because the side characters, the main character, the little. The little. The fact that it was almost before its time, and I'm happy that it was as before its time as it was. As it was. Dylan and I had a lovely babysitter. I believe it was the first time my family had gone away. It was Dylan was like Dylan was looking at colleges or something. So I had to stay with her. And I wasn't allowed to really see R-rated movies, but we did it. And they had their whole wall. Oh, yeah.

T-screen. Atwater Village. That was, you know, it was at-water Village. That goes on the elliptical. We watched the Punisher. And so when they send the bomb up at the very end in the spoily, in the elevator shafts,

that was on a, you know, 20-foot wall. It's just, it's a great film. Check it out if you haven't seen. Yeah, check it out if you haven't seen. Real interesting character study, the fact that he lived in an apartment complex with what would be would-be losers or outcasts.

And one was one of the hottest girls I've ever seen in my life. Pat's recall of the Thomas Jane iteration of the Punisher. Incredible. Didn't have it on my bingo card, but go ahead. Perhaps I was just in love with the original. Okay. I want to talk about the vows and the non-fowls because...

The vows and the non-vows. Well, I mean, I'm sorry, the yes is in the nos. Oh, okay. Sorry, forgive me. I'm not sure if there's a wider spectrum of outcomes that can take place on any other reality show. And by that, I mean, people can get married. And I guess if you're married, you're going to, you can create little human beings.

Oh, yeah. And then, uh, maybe be together till death do you part or whatever. Yep. Or you can agree to maybe catch up and grab lunch in a couple weeks. And in the meantime, try and reach out to another cast member to see if you can have sex with them. Or you could get a Zanabbed. You could get synabbed.

And never talk to that person again. I mean, that's pretty. I mean, if you look at the hallmark, hypothetically you laid out first, I mean, death to your part and babies. I mean, that's beautiful. That is beautiful. Or you can get synapt. I mean, it's quite a.

It's quite a spectrum. Or you can walk away and make us think that you're going to walk off into the sunset. And then we catch you on the reunion. And things went fucking sideways quick. I hope that doesn't happen to Jared and Amber. Be careful, Jared. Be careful. Now, Ruby had heard a little rumor.

No. Well, yeah. Is that okay, Ruby? Well, yeah, yeah. They didn't show everybody in the trailer for the reunion. They showed the important people, though. Did they? I didn't see Jared and Amber. Amber was there. She stormed off. Oh, she's the one who stormed off. Bulldog was there. He sat there and he was wide.

Okay. And then we saw a bunch of losers from past season. And Chris was there with new hair. Great new hair on that little guy. But we've heard that not everybody will participate. And I hope that's not true. We have heard that. I also have heard nothing more about that. So that is a rumor. Okay. And what is not a rumor is just worth noting that Brittany did post in Instagram or some I saw it on Twitter this morning and it seems to be a bathroom selfie of her in a leopard print top and it is

four paragraphs about how she is too many. Yeah no but Dylan it's too many like of course I will not read it the last two sentences are calmly naive desperate or Dululu but I did something brave and took a risk on love what can I say love is blind there you go

yeah you know she was to I mean, we all saw it. I don't think delusional is the right word. What would you say? Well, we'll discuss it because I think it might be. Yeah. Yeah, I'm with Ruby. Okay.

13 blindfolds. All right. I'm going to give this episode 79 blindfolds. We're almost at a B. I think overall the season was probably an 88 blindfolds for me. I think that's pretty high, Dylan. This is on a curve. A love is blind curve.

We're not talking about Godfather. No. We're not even talking about lost. We're talking about love is blind. And I think for love is blind, this was a really good season. I had a good time. We got us an ab job.

We got this incredibly uncomfortable breakup between Brittany and Bulldog. That wasn't a breakup. They agreed to stay together forever. Right? And then you get a, He's like, I can't stand her. She is so fucking clingy.

Ruby's fiancé came on camera. Hi, Ryan. Poor guy. I am so sorry. I thought that I was having a stroke because I smelled burning bread. And I was like, I walked outside. It didn't smell like bread. And then I made him come in here and he said it doesn't smell like bread.

So if I fall over, it's been fun. How is he doing? Is he all right? No, Dylan. He isn't all right. He's not happy. He's very sad. Pat, please continue.

Oh, it was still it actually. Todd number one point off the relegation zone. I mean, they haven't won a game all year. It's crazy. It's March. I just feel horrible for them. Anyways, 79 blindfolds. I'm excited to get into all of it, Ruby blindfolds.

And just do it. Do it quick. Why? We did the punisher and all this stuff. People are here to suck on the rib meat, you know? It'll be fast. Here's your marrow. There were a lot of people who said this wasn't a good season for the first couple

episodes. I do not agree. I thought that they actually did a pretty good job of having good pod drama. I think they did a good job at sending us to Mexico. Genuinely, remove the Malibu, just let us know that Kristen, Christine and Vick are just happy and whatever. Great job. I loved the finale. Thought it was actually good. I'm surprisingly excited for the reunion. I'm going to give it like a low beat. I'm going to go 83 blindfolds. Wow. What about you? A whole season. Whole season. Right now it's a C, it would have got to be if they had completely deleted Christine and Vic. Okay. It would really weigh down the season for me. It really. No, you were really, yeah, it was a sore spot for you, as it was for all of us, but I think it was a little bit more existential for you. It's a, it was a big why, you know. So anyways, we kick things off with Mikey, who says now in one of the most anticlimactic endings to a relationship. I mean, we all...

Go ahead, Ruby. Dylan, that's not fair. The officiant says, and take note as someone who's about to officiate a wedding, the officiant says, whatever, whatever, if you, you know, agree, say I do. Okay, I'm taking notes. And he says, thank you for that. Emma, I do, I do. Mm-hmm.

Love you. Oh. Right. Oh, so what do you? And then he breaks up with her and says no. To me, mind was blown. I said, Mikey, you can't do that. It's so crazy to me. I can't remember if there was a reality show with Ari Gold's kind of nemesis slash ally throughout a lot of entourage. She ran Warner at one point in the fifth season or

something like that. Unreal. Unreal. Okay. The producers have to tell the pod rats to find a phrasing to build tension. And they must sit back, just go, whoa, he went real psychopathic with that. That's crazy. He said, I do. I love you a lot. Yeah. Holy cow. Yeah, definitely apostrophe. Yeah. I must say the one who really was a silent killer was Ashley to be able to hold that in. Not only that day, but for a number of days. You know what? I'm actually super proud of her. I think she was like, you know what? I'm going to going to play the long game. She did. And I'm going to get up there and I'm going to, I'm going to crucify this guy.

She's a prick like her dad. So I want to talk about Mikey Snow because we all knew this was going to happen because we've seen this in past seasons, which is non-negotiables in a relationship when you're serious about getting married, right? Yeah. Like we've seen them on the dating sites or just when people, there's usually like two or three of them, non-negotiables. If this was a question on the family food, it would be name a non-negotiable dating.

Number one answer. Kids. Yeah. Number one answer. Right. All right. Number two would probably be fucking, I don't know, religion or politics now or something.

Sure, sure. And then women like tall guys or have got, dudes got to be tall or something, right? I mean, it's a short king, tired king kind of era right now. So I'm not sure. My point is... Kids is number one in family food. Family food.

Yeah. That's right. Yeah. So my point here is this wouldn't have gone past, even a swipe on a dating app because she would have said no kids if he's serious about kids I don't even think it would have made past the first date why the fuck are we even here with these two well right and that's why he's like he's like yeah I want to have kids with you and I said it was fine because I wanted to get to Mexico we both wanted to get to Mexico so that's

why I lied to you and they asked him if she said yes she wanted to have kids with you would you have said yes probably and she said yeah I think So no, you wouldn't. No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't say yes to anyone that Patty didn't say yes to. Okay, Patty's got to say yes to a girl who can make a sauce and has a reverence for Gallimar. Okay, that's who Mikey's going to end up with, not Emma. She's Asian. What are we doing, Mikey?

It's just not going to work. By the way, the real question is, and this is the fascinating part about the reunions is, did you guys pick up the relationship after this day? We'll find out. Yes, we will. All right. Can I just say, today had a remarkable amount of people saying, no, I know for sure.

It's not tonight, but like it might just be a month from now or whenever. Love you lots. And that was genuinely, shockingly great television. Yeah, that's DeLulu. All right. Let's get to Amber and Jordan. Ruby and my favorite couple. And I am scared.

Amber said the Jordan Medina, Emma. It sounds like things went off without a hitch. Well, he said she's, uh, he said he met Emma and the apple doesn't fall far from the trees. Like Mom, I think he said that her hair looks like, uh, she stuck her finger in an electrical outlet, too. Kidding, he said, uh, she's a mouty bitch like her body. No, no, no, no, he didn't say that. No, he didn't say that. He didn't say that. He didn't even feel that way about Amber.
