Boston, We Expected More From You | Love Is Blind Finale & Reunion Recap
2026/11/11
Paulie and Dev have reached the weddings and reunion of Love Is Blind Boston, and they have questions. From breakups that barely seemed to register to Cam and Aneha’s awkward altar moment, the guys unpack who seemed invested, who seemed ready to leave, and why a season they had high hopes for fell flat. The reunion gives them plenty to work with: Michaella and the beekeeper’s very different relationship timelines, John and Sarah’s fallout, and some unexpected commentary from John’s dad. Plus, Devin admits to sending an unfortunate DM, Cam’s endless dad jokes, and a debate over which cast members could have made Mexico a lot more entertaining.

With Morgan murdered, Joe firmly in the hot seat, and Katie's attempts to protect him doing more harm than good, the guys question why the Traitors haven't eliminated their biggest threat: Victor. They break down the poisoned chalice, Katie's awkward flirting strategy, Shane's emotional moment, and the growing divide between the Faithfuls.
