Love Is Blind season 4 star Josh Demas' has a case of cauliflower ear, and it didn't go unnoticed. Though Love Is Blind said goodbye to Josh after the pod phase, he's back to make a play for Jackelina Bonds in episode 8, where many noticed his ear condition. Josh, who showed up at Chelsea Griffin's birthday party, seemed to be focused on speaking to Jackelina throughout the occasion, and when he finally did, viewers got an up-close look at him for the first time in several episodes. While cauliflower ear isn't uncommon, it was vastly less noticeable in the pods, where Josh wasn't much of a focal point.

As Josh and Jackelina spoke about her relationship with Marshall Glaze, it was more clear than ever that Josh's motivations in coming to the party were selfish. The conversation also allowed viewers to take a look at Josh for one of the first times, which is when many noticed his unique ears. While the preview for the next several episodes of Love Is Blind promises even more about Josh, his ears were talked about more than his presence on the show.

Josh Demas' Ears Have Been Impacted By His Fighting Past

Josh, who was introduced as a Project Manager on Love Is Blind, was a professional fighter with an illustrious career. While Josh's fighting career seems to be over for the time being, the impact from many years as a professional fighter is clear. Josh, who seems quick to anger from what has been shown in Love Is Blind season 4, has to deal with the consequences of his past career, including his cauliflower ear. According to the Cleveland Clinic, cauliflower ear "refers to a deformity of your ear that’s caused by blunt force trauma," where after a hit, while the ear heals, it "folds in on itself, giving it a shriveled, cauliflower-like appearance."

Having fought in various styles, like Wrestling, MMA, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Josh has won titles as a fighter for years. According to Elite Daily, Josh even placed second in the world in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2019 at a professional tournament. Josh's history with fighting has clearly influenced him in many ways but has also impacted his physical appearance in a few notable ways. Josh has cauliflower ear, a common condition due to his past as a professional fighter.

While Josh has taken a step back from his fighting career, now working as a Project Manager for a construction company, some of the effects have lasted for the 31-year-old. Now that he is continuing through the Love Is Blind journey, potentially with Marshall's current fiancé Jackelina, viewers may have the chance to learn more about him. With the next batch of Love Is Blind episodes coming soon, it will soon be clear whether Josh has a future with Jackelina.
