"Actually a weirdo"— Love is Blind UK fans react to Catherine's love triangle with Freddie and Ollie

Love is Blind UK season 1 dropped the first four episodes on Wednesday, August 7, 2024. In the first four segments, the cast members got to know one another and formed bonds without meeting face-to-face. As per the show's format, the contestants were not allowed to see each other until after they were engaged. However, as they bonded, several love triangles came into being as cast members were interested in more than one person at the same time.

Catherine Richards was one such cast member who expressed interest in more than one participant while in the pods. She was interested in both Freddie and Ollie but eventually took a step back from Ollie to be the "bigger person" when she saw how much Demi liked him.

Fans of the show took to social media to react to Catherine's relationship with both Freddie and Ollie and were critical of her time on the Netflix reality show. One person wrote on X:

"Catherine is actually a weirdo like she’s acting like Ollie’s her man already it’s so odd. #loveisblinduk"

"Not Catherine says she can't see Demi and Ollie together on the outside as if she's more deserving of him or something... #loveisblinduk," a fan commented.

"Demi queen Catherine is not your friend. I've had so many friends like Catherine will bring you down to be the Alpha female. Demi seems a genuine nice girl but I don't trust Ollie I hope she finds someone who puts her best interests at heart #LoveIsBlindUK," a tweet read.

Love is Blind UK season 1 fans felt Catherine would break Freddie's heart.

"Freddie deserves better. Catherine is not the person for him. She’s only wanting him now that Ollie doesn’t want her #loveisblinduk," a person wrote.

"There’s something about Catherine that I just don’t like… something I don’t trust. Freddie deserves someone all about him!!! #LoveIsBlindUK," a fan commented.

"On ep 1 and already fear catherine is gonna break freddie’s heart #LoveIsBlindUK," a tweet read.

Love is Blind UK fans further said:

"Catherine pick freddie and let ollie be with demi please #loveisblinduk," a fan commented.

"My heart is saying Freddie": Catherine makes a choice in Love is Blind UK episode 2

In Love is Blind UK season 1 episode 2, Catherine's bond with both Ollie and Freddie was showcased. The segment also showcased Ollie's birthday, which he celebrated with the cast members.

To express how she felt, cast member Demi made Ollie a card and decorated the pods, hoping that it would make her feelings for him clear. Once she returned to the female living quarters, Demi told the Love is Blind UK cast that she was happy. She thought she was falling in love with Ollie.

Seeing the situation unfold, Catherine, who was also interested in Ollie, said in a confessional:

"Am I happy for Demi? Um, yeah. I love Demi. So I'm gonna step away from the situation because I want her to work with Ollie. Regardless of Demi even being in this situation, me stepping away from Ollie, that would have happened regardless because my heart is — My heart is saying Freddie."

When it was time for Catherine and Ollie to have a conversation, both of them expressed wanting to go the other way. That is, Ollie expressed wanting to be with Demi while Catherine told him she wanted to be with Freddie.

When Ollie found it hard to tell her what he wanted, Catherine made it easier for him by telling him to "explore" the other option he had. She added that she knew who it was and didn't want to get in the way.

Watching the episodes back, Love is Blind UK fans took to social media to react to the segment and noted that Ollie would look better paired up with Demi than he would with Catherine. Fans criticized the female participant for her behavior.

Episodes 1—4 of Love is Blind UK are available to stream on Netflix.
