After the only two couples from Love Is Blind season 2 announced their divorce, fans took to social media to share their skepticism, with season 3 on the horizon. Last week, Iyanna McNeely and Jarrette Jones shocked fans when they released a joint statement announcing their separation after one year of marriage. The pair said they weren't going in the same direction, which was the reason for their split. Following the surprising statement, Iyanna and Jarrette were the talk of the town.
However, just a few days after Iyanna and Jarrette's announcement, reports surfaced that revealed Danielle Ruhl's divorce filing from Nick Thompson. The pair have remained silent about their split, but reports claim that Danielle filed the petition to end her one-year marriage last week. With the two breakups being announced during the same week, fans began wondering if the marriage experiment really works, and if the season 2 cast joined the show for the right reasons. With no surviving season 2 couples left, doubts about the show and its cast are mounting.
Amid news of the splits, Reddit user u/RoyalM7 asked fans if they "even want a Season 3 at this point?" Fans have a lot to say about the show, and one person likened Love Is Blind season 2 to a "train wreck." The Redditor didn't think there was a good reason for another season. "I'm definitely turned off at this point," they added. Many viewers have become skeptical about the people selected to take part in the experiment, and think that a number of them join the show just to gain popularity. "Everyone is a clout chaser at this point," one user wrote. However, despite the critics and coinciding divorce announcements, most fans are ready for a new season. According to one Redditor, producers need to select better singles in season 3, since "None of the people on season 2 had any chemistry and it was so clear."
Jarrette and Iyanna's divorce announcement didn't come as a surprise to very many viewers who watched season 2, as most saw the divide. Iyanna was actually Jarrette's second choice, after he initially proposed to Mallory Zapata, but was turned down. When Jarrette and Mallory finally met in person during the group honeymoon trip, the sparks between them were obvious. Elsewhere, Iyanna and Jarrette had two completely different personalities and lifestyles, with Iyanna being more of a homebody, and Jarrette enjoying the social scene. When it came to Nick and Danielle, the red flags were visible from the start.
The two reality stars argued all through the experiment, but despite all of their problems, Nick and Danielle did get married. Nick actually encouraged Danielle to say no at the altar. Both couples tried to make their marriages work, but called it quits after a year. Now, Love Is Blind fans think that the two couples just wanted to fulfill contractual requirements in order to receive payouts. With the season 2 cast accused of being in it for notoriety, fans was producers to bring in a strong season 3 cast who really want to find love.
