    After the highly anticipated reunion and the delay that had a nation in a stir, we are recapping the sh*t show that was the Love is Blind finale & reunion! While we originally had other stories to go with our recap, the drama and tik Tok stories beyond the reunion kept coming and coming so we had to dedicate this entire episode to LIB! It's been a whirlwind of a season, and the social media tea that was split this time around was beyond our comprehension! From Netflix completing bombing the reunion, Vanessa's cringey comments, Jackie getting off unscathed, and Zack singing yet again - we're giving you all our thoughts on the season that rocked the nation!
