00:00I think everything will be addressed at the reunion, but will it come to resolution?
00:09Virtual Reality
00:11Christine and Vic, this season of Love is Blind has been such a wild ride for everyone involved.
00:18When you look back, did you ever imagine that you two would meet each other, you know, vibe so well
00:25with each other?
00:26Manifest each other, maybe?
00:27Right? Like, what does this journey mean to you guys?
00:29Oh, gosh. You know, even, like, we'll go way back to even when I applied, and I kind of did
00:35it for fun at first,
00:36never in a million years thought anything would come of it, and then, like, every step of the way, it
00:40just felt so right,
00:41and, like, this is something that's so not my personality or my character to do something like this,
00:45but it just felt right, and I felt so good about it the whole time, and I knew that there
00:49had to be a reason why, and here he is.
00:52So it's just, it's just been, like, this weird ease, the entire process, from the pods to the wedding to
01:00moving to Columbus and the whole past year.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Like, love at first pod, love at first, like, the love bubbles are off the chart, which really is not
01:36the case for so many of the other love is blank couples.
01:39Now, watching back, because I'm sure you guys have watched the episodes along with all of us,
01:44did we cringe as hard as some of the moments from some of your castmates, particularly Chris?
01:52You want to answer that one?
01:54Yeah, yeah, there was a lot of cringey moments, and I think even some of those guys would look back
02:00on it and say,
02:01that, I don't know who that was on the screen, or that was not a good version of myself, and
02:06I need to do better.
02:07So, I think we all cringed when we saw certain interactions, comments being made to the women, and just, yeah,
02:15yeah, it was hard.
02:16Christine, I would love to hear from you, I mean, specifically, just as a woman in the situation,
02:21what was your take on the whole Pilates body?
02:24Like, I just, it was so disgusting.
02:28Yeah, it was, it was really hard to watch and to hear, because I, I mean, as a woman, you
02:36can be the most beautiful person in the world,
02:38you can be a 10 out of 10, and you're still going to have insecurities, right?
02:41It's normal, we nitpick ourselves to death.
02:44And Jess is a stunning woman, you know, and that's, you know, subjective for me, or objective, I guess, probably
02:53to most people.
02:53But, you know, and it's not even about that, you know, she's got this incredible, beautiful heart,
02:58and Chris fell in love with her without even seeing her.
03:01And so, it was, it was just really, really, I didn't want to say icky, not even cringy,
03:07it was just really hurtful and shocking that there's people, one, that even have those internal thoughts about women,
03:13or about other humans in general, but then, two, to, like, be able to say it out loud,
03:18and say it to that person in such, like, a hurtful way.
03:21And, three, knowing that you're doing it on camera.
03:24So, yeah, it was really hard to watch back.
03:27It's slimy, and it's hard for, I think that's an issue with men friendships, too.
03:33Sometimes it's hard to kind of sustain that and cultivate it,
03:35because as a man, sometimes you see that behavior in the back end,
03:38little inklings of it, whether it was in high school, whatever the case may be,
03:42and you don't think twice, but then you're like, oh, that's wrong.
03:45Like, something's off with that.
03:47Something's slimy there that needs to be corrected.
03:49And with Chris's situation as an adult, 30 years, or however old he is,
03:54when we were on the men's side, he showed up completely different.
03:57Like, he actually showed up as a stand-up dude on the men's side.
04:02So, seeing it play back, like, the comments that were made and things like that,
04:05it was like, oh, heck no, right?
04:08Do you guys feel the fans of Love is Blind will feel the sliminess is corrected at the reunion?
04:15And not to love Chris, but all the things that have been talked about in the end and everything like
04:19that,
04:19do you feel the reunion did everybody justice the way it should be, from your opinions?
04:26I think everything was addressed, yes.
04:30So, I think everything will be addressed at the reunion, but will it come to resolution?
04:35I don't know.
04:36I don't know that everybody involved across the board has really taken true accountability or has truly grown.
04:43I think some people definitely have, and to what extent, you know, who's to say?
04:47But I don't know if people are going to watch it and feel like, I feel good about that, you
04:53know?
04:53A starting point should be, like, my-ish stinks.
04:57Like, that's where I think folks need to start off and say, like, this is where I messed up.
05:02And I don't think we're going to get a lot of that at the reunion.
05:04It's going to be, you did this, here's the circumstantial things.
05:07Like, no, own up to what you did, put it out there, say it, and just stand by it.
05:12Like, apologetically in the whole nine.
05:14Like, that's where you need to start from.
05:15And I don't think we're going to see a lot of that.
05:17Do we feel like Chris was apologetic for the Pilates body comment in particular?
05:23He was quietly apologetic.
05:25I mean, I think Chris was kind of processing and probably has a lot of shame and hurt.
05:32I mean, then again, I'm putting myself into his shoes, how I would feel.
05:35I mean, you know, I've never spoken to him, so I can't say.
05:38But I feel like overall he was pretty quiet.
05:43You know, I think he did apologize, but not to the extent that it should have been or that we
05:49want to need.
05:50Yeah, there's more work to be done there.
05:53And I think there's an extreme to that, too.
05:55And the extreme is because the tension in my heart is around kind of, we as a society, sometimes we
06:01put people on the fringe, exclude them.
06:03And sometimes to the extent where, shoot, they might take themselves out this world, right?
06:07So I think that's like a tangible consideration, not just in his situation, but just in everyone where I kind
06:13of, I'm kind of.
06:15There needs to be accountability, but also there should be a route.
06:19Some grace.
06:20To come back.
06:21Right.
06:21And then that's kind of the tension there.
06:24And I mean, for you both, speaking of routes in a more positive way, where, because after all of this
06:29love is bind craze is done, are you guys have any fun plans?
06:31Like, what's like, are we going to go on a vacation, a date night?
06:34Like, how are you guys going to keep it fun?
06:37Yeah, we have a vacations coming up.
06:39We haven't set it in stone, but we know that we're going to do some kind of honeymoon finally.
06:43So it's on the agenda.
06:45Some traveling, some exploring.
06:47And we want to steward the digital community that we've been building and that's kind of naturally happened in this
06:52space.
06:53And we want to show you all more of us and interact with you all in different ways.
06:57So I think this is not going to be the last time you see of us.
07:00And we have something in store.
07:01Yay.
07:02Okay.
07:02Well, we can't wait to see that.
07:03And congratulations again to you both.
07:04You have just lovely fun energy and we love chatting with you guys.
07:07Thank you again.
07:08Thank you, guys.
