Netflix Fans React to Dating Show Plot Twist

The new season of Netflix’s dating show Love Is Blind UK has recently started, and it has already surprised viewers with a dramatic plot twist. There are hints that two of the contestants may be cousins.

After the incredible popularity of Love Is Blind US on the streaming service, British viewers now have their own version to enjoy with Love Is Blind UK. However, given the complexity of the last part, let’s take a step back and review.

Despite only the first part of the series being released, fans have already been introduced to the funeral director Freddie, 32, and the dental nurse Catherine, 29. The two are set up and have a great connection, but there may be an underlying reason for this.

In the video, the two individuals meet and engage in a conversation about their names and family histories. They soon discover that they both have grandmothers named Mary, which initially seems like a charming coincidence. However, their surprise grows when they realize they also share a grandfather named Bill.

Despite Freddie’s obvious confusion, Cat is expressing her shock and feeling overwhelmed. Netflix has hinted at there being more to the situation with their mention of a “whole new level of compatibility,”leaving fans speculating about the potential negativity.

One fan responded to the clip by saying, “They’re crying like it’s fate, lmfao. They could be related.”Another fan agreed, questioning whether the show’s creators had checked for that possibility.

“I can tell those tears on her face are not tears of joy. She must be trying to hold back her nausea… someone else commented, accompanied by vomiting emojis, “What a tangled family tree with no branches.”

“I hope one of them asks if they are related, otherwise…”a third person stated, while a fourth person pondered, “This reminds me of the time I discovered that my cousin’s parents are cousins. I also found out that I am related to her mother and my uncle, haha.”

One person, who commented on the situation on confirmed to the outlet that the two individuals are not actually cousins. However, despite this clarification, the situation still feels like a major plot twist in the world of dating shows.

One fan commented, “The unexpected plot twist took me by surprise,” while another summed it up by saying, “The twist is huge, are they really cousins?”
