"Catherine is not the person for him": Love is Blind UK fans believe "Freddie deserves better"

Love is Blind UK season 1 aired episodes 1—4 on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, on Netflix. The popular social experiment, aimed to test whether love truly is blind returned to screens with a British cast and saw 30 singles take part in the series as they hoped to find their future spouses, sight unseen.

Two such individuals were Catherine and Freddie, who quickly bonded while in the pods. However, Catherine also felt a close connection with another cast member, Ollie, and was unsure about who to pursue. However, seeing how much Ollie and Demi liked one another, the female cast member took a step back and noted that it made her decision easier since she was leaning more toward Freddie anyway.

Fans of the show took to social media to chime in on the couple. While they were impressed with Freddie's time on the show, they feared that Catherine may not be the best match for him. One person wrote on X:

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

"Catherine is so full of sh*t because now she now saying that her “Heart is with Freddie” When the reason is she didn’t wanna get rejected by Ollie she’s not fooling me #LoveIsBlindUK," a fan commented.

"#LoveIsBlindUK I want better for Freddie. I don’t like or trust Catherine / Cat for him even outside of her really wanting Ollie. #LoveIsBlind," a tweet read.

Other Love is Blind UK fans believed the couple "fit" well together:

"Honestly, Freddie and Catherine fit. While Freddie is directing a funeral, Catherine will be crying on side. Business is booming. #LoveIsBlindUK," a person wrote.

"cannot believe freddie and catherine have me bawling like thissss wtf #LoveIsBlindUK," a fan commented.

"I genuinely believe Catherine's bond with Freddie is stronger but she'll pick Ollie so she can go into competition with Demi #LoveIsBlindUK," a tweet read.

Love is Blind UK season 1 fans further said:

I hope Freddie and Catherine become the UK version of Lauren and Cameron #LoveIsBlindUK #LoveisBlind," a person wrote.

"Catherine is going to break Freddie’s heart isn’t she? God i’m going to cry if it happens because I think i’m in love with this man…#loveisblindUK," a fan commented.

"It's just you": Freddie professes his love to Catherine in Love is Blind UK episode 3

In Love is Blind UK season 1 episode 3, Freddie spoke to the male cast members about proposing to Catherine and said he was nervous. In a confessional before his date in the pods with her, he said the connection the two shared was "electric" and that he never felt like that before.

As he made his way to the pods, he said that the concept of proposing through a wall was "crazy" and not something many people had done before. He added that he wanted to "articulate" his feelings and that he wanted to speak from the heart.

As Catherine joined the cast member, the Love is Blind UK star started expressing himself.

"I just want you to know that — I feel like the connection we've made is — I've not experienced that before and I've got nothing else on my mind. It's just you. I know that what I feel in my heart is real, and I know that, that I'm for you," Freddie said.

The Love is Blind UK male participant added that he felt like she was the person he was "destined to be with" and he asked if he could read something for her. After recalling their journey on the Netflix dating show, Freddie asked her if she would marry him. Catherine said yes and despite being separated by a wall, the two cried together.

Fans of the social experiment took to social media to chime in on their relationship and were conflicted about what they felt. While some felt Freddie deserved better, others felt he and Catherine had a good connection.

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