The reunion episode of the hit Netflix dating series was heated and heartbreaking. Two V.F. writers unpack the best moments from Deepti vs.
(“I’ve always kept it completely 100!”) Shake said exactly one true thing—that Kyle and Shaina just wanted to stay on the show, whoops!—but that was it. But let’s get back to the pariah of the hour. I feel so bad for Deepti, who was elegantly disassociating on the couch as Shake doubled down on his gross remarks and bro-y behavior. The matching outfits they wore were a bit much, but I will say the reunion has somewhat convinced me that Iyanna and Jarrette are…maybe the real deal? It’s also kind of insane that I can’t recognize half of the Love is Blind lab rats—excuse me, I mean, vulnerable and brave daters—since the season ended. Below, Vanity Fair writers Chris Murphy and Yohana Desta break down the episode’s biggest moments, from Shake’s full-blown villainy to the most surprising reveals from married couples Iyanna and Jarrette and Nick and Danielle.
Abhishek "Shake" Chatterjee walked away from the Netflix reality series alone after Deepti Vempati opted not to marry him in the finale.
I'm not sorry." "I can't help what I'm attracted to, and what I'm not attracted to — that doesn't change. "I'm not attracted to all of you. "I'm just not going to do that. "This is interesting because my taste in women has opened up so much," he explains. "I'm talking about size, height, whatever. "I'm in a good spot right now, despite what it may look like," he adds. (Deepti has since confirmed to PEOPLE that she and Shake are "not in touch." "Right now, I'm self-focused," he says of his current relationship status. "But there's also certain criteria there that goes beyond the emotional connection." "When you prioritize yourself — I think that's the best relationship advice I could give somebody, honestly," he continues. So I'm choosing myself and I'm going to say no."
Shake Chatterjee was in the hot seat at the 'Love Is Blind' reunion, feuding with everyone, including Nick and Vanessa Lachey — revelations.
Unfortunately, the only one I’m attracted to is Vanessa — and I wish I wasn’t! I wish I wasn’t. The point is, it’s not a choice.” “It’s how you do it and how you say it that’s extremely disrespectful and degrading to women. I’m not attracted to all of you. “But I wanted to be partially blind,” Shake fired back. “It’s OK to not be physically attracted to somebody. “I wanted to be, Love Is Blurry.… We all have our physical preferences.
The Love Is BlindSeason 2 reunion is out on Netflix, and we finally get to see Deepti Vempati confront Shake Chatterjee about everything he said behind her ...
"I’m watching the love is blind reunion… "Listen, I don't give a f--- if you're not," she said to him. "I didn't know the extent of how he was talking about me." "I want it to be partially blind. I want it to be: 'Love is blurry.'" But Deepti also wouldn't give him a pass for what he said behind her back.
Season two of the Netflix reality dating series included one contestant, Shake, who repeatedly emphasized a need for "physical attraction."
He postured happiness to friends and family, saying the experience was a "net positive." I just need to move forward and figure out what I want — instead of trying to figure out why he doesn't want me, do I even want him?'" It's a small detail, but referring to Deepti as if she's been "given" to him speaks volumes about the way Shake views her as an equal in their relationship. She continued: "I had the epiphany that like, 'Why am I trying to prove to this person to see me? "Maybe if we started having sex, maybe those feelings of always wanting to be in each other's arms would form," he tells the cameras. Reading off of his phone, Shake tells Deepti that a sushi eater is supposed to eat ginger between different pieces as a palate cleanser and declares himself the winner. "She could find someone who absolutely loves her the way she is, and she's a wonderful person. "We have lots of time," she rationalizes to the other women. "I'm not physically attracted to her," Shake says in a more hushed tone. Deepti eventually removes her coverup and steps into their private pool, and, at first, Shake repeats an affirming "yes" as she enters the water and kisses her. A moment later, he clarifies what he meant: "I already let her know, from here on out if she's within a two-mile radius of me that booty is not safe." "I love buying clothes for girls," he asked Iyanna, one of the contestants.
