it’s not just this season, it’s an unfortunate presence in every season 😔 i think the beeb need to put the contestants through some kind of unconscious bias training prior to filming maybe…?

it seems to be working for me now too. it must have been a quick fix for them!

aha! so delete and reinstall?
and yes, the first hard one 😄

ah same! glad it’s not just me manically trying to swipe up to no avail!

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

• Al Overview The idiom "you can't lick a badger twice" means you can't trick or deceive someone a second time after they've been tricked once. It's a warning that if someone has already been deceived, they are unlikely to fall for the same trick again. Here's a more detailed explanation: • Licking: "Licking" in this context means to trick or deceive someone. • Badger: The badger is a wild animal, and the phrase likely originates from the historical sport of badger baiting where dogs were used to harass

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

If you know, you know

Stop using AI.

Yes, even just for fun.

AI is built on STOLEN images and text.

That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI.

Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment.

(Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

where do you all know peter from over the pond? i’m curious 😄

i think he’s sweet but he’s definitely not for her, hope we’re wrong!
was hoping wictor had said no too 🫣

some of them shouldn’t have 😄 the reunion will be interesting!

weddings!!

💞karin & niklas
dreamy, perfect, made for each other. so glad neither got cold feet!
💞nathalie & wictor
unexpected yeses. can’t see it lasting. he called you boring?!
💞karolina & jakob
big surprise, genuinely thought she wasn’t ready to marry him yet.

#loveisblindsweden

can’t help feeling like nathalie just wanted to be married, wictor is not head over heels in love with her and he’s too easily influenced by his sister.

genuinely surprised (and concerned) they were ALL yeses. no reunion too?

wictor is dull, unfortunately he’s found an equally dull partner and he’s placing all the boredom blame on her 🤷🏻‍♀️

amen to that

JUST MARRY YOUR ROCKS, OLA 😄😄😄

you know how #loveisblind is only half the story, you need to follow the backstory on tiktok too?
well i reeeally wish there was a way of following all the #loveisblindsweden cast tiktoks without having to learn the language 😫 give me subtitles!

i thought that bit to camera was going to be negative, but then when he had that realisation it was so lovely!

i have quite a lot of admiration for the scandi/nordic countries, but i’m not sure how progressive they are for poc 🤷🏻‍♀️

i was waiting for him to bring it up in the pods, as it’d be great for representation, but when he didn’t, i figured he didn’t know or wasn’t comfortable with it being mentioned on camera. it’d have definitely helped alicia either way

i have an autistic partner, and we’ve had discussions about facial expressions and affection early in our relationship, so that all rang true 😄
i did wonder about swedish culture too..

i’m watching it with subtitles, he said - he’s like a kinder egg, dark exterior with a white soul.
it definitely made me double take! 🫣

exactly. he wants to find someone as adoring as bea, but who he’s attracted to.

i hate how he just nods. maddening.

i mean, what is the relationship there? it feels like a very one sided friendship where ola enjoys being adored and probably gives nothing back.

💯💯💯 i really wish milly had been the one to end it 😫

that man can’t see past his own nose. the only good thing about him is he’s honest about how self obsessed he is.

at first yes, but i think she’s fallen for his personality. (so far anyway. only on ep6)

if you had no context, you’d assume she was some kind of heroin addict!
that man doesn’t need a partner, he needs a pet. #loveisblindsweden
