This episode of Love Is Blind Season 7 looks like it’s going to be crazy. Can’t wait.
I used to be interested and bored with this season of Love Is Blind. First, it features people in my backyard in Washington, which is exciting because I would meet an individual or two, but in addition everyone I do know who’s actively dating in Washington does nothing but complain concerning the prospects on this city. This is kind of crazy considering that on paper DC would be the proper place to discover a partner. Most persons are well educated, ambitious and on their way to… something.
When they released the solid I spotted I used to be too old to know these people so I lost interest. Other than that, overall I’m a bit disenchanted with this show, although I can not quite put my finger on why. Maybe it’s just over in my life, but whatever. What brought me back was the scandal surrounding Tyler and whether his children are a component of his life or not. I do know, I do know – I shouldn’t be all for this scandal and lewdness, but I’m human. Sue me. Anyway, I watched your entire season and placed my bets on the 2 couples who ended up saying yes: Ashley and Tyler, and Taylor and Garrett.
I’m blissful for Taylor and Garrett and I hope every part works out for them. Yes. I expect their part of the meeting to be reasonably quiet and boring, which is what a pair should be like after they manage their married life together. Sure, they probably do speeches and stuff, but in the long run, they found love, said “I do,” and at the moment are married. This shouldn’t be the place for fireworks.
Ashley and Tyler however? Almost immediately after the show began, stories about his relationship with a pair he helped conceive a baby appeared on social media. Did he cheat on his alleged then-girlfriend to help them have a baby? Was he the rationale the couple ended their relationship? Do the kids he fathered know him? Social media and the kids’s mother would have you think that he was quite present in the kids’s lives until he left for Love Is Blind. Is it true? Who knows? Is Tyler the diabolical villain in all of this who lied to his way into marriage? Is he a fraud? Did they really completely clear the air off-camera (the quantity of off-camera stuff we didn’t see is a feature of this season and, truthfully, made it extremely irritating) and she or he said yes to Tyler while fully aware mind and heart?
Lifestyle
I need to know all this. Will Ashley and Tyler sit together on the reunion? Are they good? Did all the knowledge that got here out after the series of episodes began causing a rift of their relationship?
For the record, I hope Ashley knew every part and that Tyler was completely clear. I also hope that every one information that comes from external sites (Unfortunately, the girl with whom he has three children and who he claims only acted as a sperm donor) is unfaithful and that these children don’t suffer because of their father who abandoned her for “better opportunities” and “fame” and that Ashley was not blinded by all this and looked like a idiot. I WANT this to keep going up and up. I’m afraid that will not be the case. I do know all this noise around Tyler makes it hard to root for them. Hopefully the meeting will clear this up; I actually have little or no faith that this may occur. If they sit there together, I feel like we’re going to get quite a bit of unanswered answers. If they aren’t together, I feel we all know that every part we saw on the web was true.
I’m also interested by Tim and Alex. Nothing we saw on camera really indicated what went incorrect. In fact, Tim looked like he was kind of crazy. Their last interaction (that we saw), where he said he didn’t want to talk to her anymore, didn’t match what we saw on camera, what he said, or her energy. She looked completely confused by his seemingly controlled anger and irritation, which is fair. Alex principally got dropped for taking a nap while his parents were around, and this totally cannot be it. If so, Tim is crazy. There were many other the reason why they didn’t seem to fit together; the one he used as a reason for bail was interesting. Alex stated on social media that every part would be revealed on the reunion. OK. Let’s hope so. Otherwise, I hope she gets all of the naps she needs in her life, and I hope he isn’t who the last scene showed him to be. They make documentaries on Netflix about people like this and none of them are positive.
And sigh, let’s discuss Rameses and Marisa. The end of their relationship was truly my biggest problem with the show this season; SO MUCH THINGS WERE KEPT OFF CAMERA that by the point we got to the discussion it didn’t make any sense. Look, Rameses was a walking red flag, so overall it looks like he did Marissa a favor. And I actually feel sorry for her. I do know women like her who’ve this great, blissful energy that individuals take away from them and do not give back. People see them, their smiles and energy, and so they want it, in order that they take it. When that shine wears off, those self same women are left behind. Rameses was talking to all these other people about marriage and he was just throwing words at Marissa that made it seem like he had an issue, which made him doubt himself. Once again, the one one who seemed problematic of their relationship was him. He had issues with all of the parts of her that were essential to who she was as a human being and, truthfully, as a girl. Ramesses seemed needy and was one of those individuals who took principled positions that, when spoken aloud, were unwise. I feel bad for Marissa, but I’m glad she didn’t find someone who had the nerve to use her energy as a reason why it couldn’t work. I discovered her energy amazing. I rooted for her on screen because she seemed real and like she had to take care of mother and family issues, which she really did. Meanwhile, Rameses is like “down with the army.”
What I’m saying is that I HOPE they will not be dating anymore once the reunion program ends, but I won’t be surprised. But that is why I can not wait to meet again; what’s happening now? The potential for top comedy and true WTF moments is high, and that is before we even get to Hannah’s madness and what she looked like on the show. Hannah is the true villain, but she’s not alone.
As an individual, I hope that every one of these persons are okay, because although this can be a show created for entertainment and “love”, there are real people on the opposite side of all these problems. At the identical time, I actually have to feel that that is the very best scenario for the series. Everyone who watches the show is waiting for the reunion JUST to see what happened and if we get answers.
Like anyone who has given even 10 minutes to this show, I’ll be watching it together with you, hoping for answers that probably won’t come. Yes, we do.

Keke Palmer Recalls His Tumultuous Experience Working on ‘Scream Queens’
In his upcoming memoir, “Master of Me: The Secret to Controlling the Narrative” Keke Palmer reflects on his journey to understanding his price in each his personal and skilled life. During an interview with Los Angeles TimesPalmer talked about how the book covers a wide range of topics, including her experiences on the set of Fox’s “Scream Queens.”
Palmer played Zayday Williams on the horror comedy series for 2 seasons. During her time on the show, the actress recalls a racist encounter on set with an anonymous white star, whom she calls “Brenda” within the book. In an try to calm down Brenda after the clash along with her colleague, Palmer reportedly suggested everyone “have fun and respect each other,” to which Brenda allegedly replied, “Keke, literally, just don’t do it. Who do you’re thinking that you might be? Martin F. Luther King?”
“It was a very important thing that she said, but I didn’t let that burden be put on me because I know who I am,” Palmer told the newspaper, reflecting on the event. “I’m no victim. That’s not my story, honey. I do not care what her ass said. If I let what she said cripple me, it should.
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the one negative encounter Palmer encountered while working on “Scream Queens.” In her memoir, she also describes an instance where she needed to miss filming because of a scheduling error, which led to a really indignant phone call with the series’ co-creator and director, Ryan Murphy.
“I felt like I was in the dean’s office,” she said, adding that Murphy allegedly “pissed” her off by asking for her absence. “He said, ‘I’ve never seen you act like that.’ I can not imagine you, of all people, would do something like that.

The longtime star then remembers receiving a shooting schedule and scheduling one other business meeting on her time off. But when the day got here, the production notified her that she was indeed needed on set, and the star decided to honor her earlier commitment. After apologizing for her absence, Palmer thought she and Murphy had gone their separate ways until she spoke to a different unnamed star.
“I said, ‘Ryan talked to me and I think he’s fine, everything’s fine,’ and she said, ‘It’s bad,’ trying to scare me or something, which was kind of irritating,” she explained.
While the star hoped to form a long-term relationship with Murphy that may lead to future roles like other industry stars, Palmer felt it was more necessary to arise for herself.
“I’m still not sure Ryan cared or understood it, but that’s okay because he just focused on his business, which is not a problem for me,” she wrote within the book. “But I know that even if he didn’t care, and even if I never work with him again, he knows that I see myself as a company, too.”

Garrett Morris paved the way for people of color on SNL, but it came at a cost: ‘A lot of racism’
Fifty years later, comedian and actor Garrett Morris remembers what it was wish to be the only black solid member and author on the inaugural solid of “Saturday Night Live” in 1975.
Said by the 87-year-old actor Guardian in a recent interview that after working in the experimental theater scene in Harlem under constant threat from the authorities, it was a much safer working environment. However, it was not effortlessly, namely racism.
“I will repeat until the end of my days: there was a lot of racism among the Lorne writers,” the star told the outlet.
He continued: “Sam Lorne? Zero racism. Because, remember, once I was hired, I used to be the only black author. Lorne wanted someone black on TV at night. People didn’t want it. They demanded that all the things be white. He didn’t do it.
The actor explained that he was initially hired as a author until Michaels was introduced to his role in the film as a history teacher.
“Because of this, I was asked to audition for Not Ready for Prime Time Players (then the working title of SNL),” Morris told the publication. “And I went from being a writer to being part of the group.”
Breaking boundaries in the fight against stereotypes
Despite the series’ success, the “Martin” star described a difficult period in her life drug fueledit involved “bad choices” and was marked by an try and resist being pigeonholed.
“It really touched me when we watched the first performance. I didn’t have the skit, but I watched another one. I told Lorne, “There’s a doctor in this skit.” Why don’t I play doctor? And he goes, “Garrett, a black doctor can dump people,” he said, adding, “Well, I came from New Orleans, where you are surrounded by black doctors and black PhD students. For that matter, in all the big cities in the south.
Among Morris’ breakout characters in the comedy sketch was Chico Escuela, a Dominican Major League player whose only line was, “Base-e-bol was damn good to me.” Another favorite moment was the introduction of the deaf translator on the update desk who simply repeated the message Chevy Chase delivered louder without signing it.
Morris explained how he tried to imbue his characters with something apart from stereotypical images of Black people. Still, Morris and his time on , where he contributed to 99 episodes, have change into synonymous with typecasting of black actors in Hollywood.
Regardless, Morris said, “I’m proud to have played a small role in the beginning and to have created a chair for a non-white performer.”
Morris’ undeniable influence on the legendary series is highlighted in the upcoming film “Saturday Night,” which chronicles the show’s debut night. Actor Lamorne Morris, no relation, plays Morris. Even though they haven’t any relationship, Lamorne shared with Washington Post Office as they share what it means to be the only black guy in a solid. Lamorne became famous for playing Winston Bishop, the only black roommate on the hit comedy “New Girl.”
ON “Kelly Clarkson Show”, Lamorne joked about how he grew up telling other people that Garrett Morris was his father. Because of this, Lamorne spent his life imitating Morris on television. He had a lot experience playing Morris for sport that he was in a position to put together an audition tape for the role inside minutes of being asked to submit it.
“I booked it the very next day,” Lamorne said.
He said of Morris: “If you walk into a room with Garrett, he’s the most talented person. He did all the things. The man helped desegregate labor unions. He protested during the Civil Rights Movement. Then he’s on SNL. I mean, you recognize what you call it.
