The highly-anticipated season 1 reunion of Love is Blind: Habibi was released on Netflix on Friday, November 1, 2024. The cast members joined hosts Khaled Saqer and Elham Ali to discuss their connections in the pods and everything that followed. They reflected on all that unfolded inside and outside the experiment, from romance and heated conflicts to breakups and reconciliations.

Many conversations ended in arguments as cast members, mostly former couples, failed to see eye-to-eye. One such pair was Nour and Mido. They broke up after Mido realized Nour's feelings for him were not genuine. At the reunion, Mido confronted Nour, criticizing her lack of commitment, obsession with her appearance, and desire for an expensive lifestyle.

He was supported by Chafic, who insulted Nour by mocking her appearance. Simo, Ammar, and Dounia chimed in, looking down at her character and personality. Despite being targeted, Nour did not aggressively react to their comments. She remained calm and stood up for herself by explaining her standpoint and the reason behind her "high" standards.

While others laughed at her and called her names, Nour patiently listened. She spoke to defend herself, refusing to let them slander her character publicly. Love is Blind: Habibi fans were impressed by Nour's composure, complimenting her for countering the cast members when needed. They took to X to praise her performance at the reunion.

"Nour is a class act. She didn't raise her voice once and barely moved a muscle," a fan wrote.
"15 minutes into this reunion and Nour is standing her ground admirably against the insane projection, misogyny and jealousy half of the cast is ganging up to throw her way," another fan commented.
"Nour carried herself so well on the reunion lmao my good sis was so unbothered. They can never make me hate her, real material girl who knows what she wants," a netizen tweeted.

Many Love is Blind: Habibi fans applauded Nour's comments, claiming they were enough to silence her opponents.

"the 1 v everyone between nour and the male cast and she ate every single one of them up effortlessly.. that’s a mother," a user reacted.
"Nour ate everyone up and didn’t flinch once. I’m putting her on my 2025 mood board because WOW!" a person commented.
"Nour checked them in such a classy way and went just the right amount of lower, where she needed to," another fan wrote.
"Nour served them all their dinner at the right place and at the right time!!!!! Their mission to bully her failed miserably," one user posted.

Other Love is Blind: Habibi fans shared the same sentiment.

"Main line "i have two degrees and speak 3 languages" i collapsed came back and collapsed again coz baby girl Nour ate with that," a person reacted.
"“I have two degrees and I speak three languages” GIRLLLLL COOOOK," another netizen commented.

Love is Blind: Habibi star Nour says Mido lacks self-confidence

When Mido confessed he made a "mistake" by choosing Nour in the pods, complaining about her fascination with material things, Nour explained she valued herself and had standards. The Love is Blind: Habibi star explained by "standards" she meant she had "specific expectations for her life." She added that Mido's overreaction while speaking with her only projected his "lack of self-confidence."

Nour revealed she grew up in a family that "spoiled" her and met all her demands, where she did not have to worry about funding her lifestyle. As a result, she expected the same from her partner, however, she was disappointed upon realizing that "today's men want princess treatment."

When the Love is Blind: Habibi star tried to speak with Dounia, she faced strong retaliation from Chafic, who criticized her personality. Nour only responded with the following:

"I hope you can be respectful and listen."

Nour listened with a smile when Dounia accused her of flirting with her partner, Chafic, and Mido taunted her beauty for not being "natural." When Mido claimed she used her appearance to justify her standards, she retaliated, saying she had two degrees and could speak three languages.

At that point, Ammar chimed in, claiming Nour ended single because she did not follow the show's rules and looked for someone with "specific traits." Nour retorted, asking the Love is Blind: Habibi star a rhetorical question and making him stutter.

"So tell me, who stayed with you?"

Nour said the men were a "disgrace" to their kind for speaking negatively about women and their appearances. When Simo countered her and said they were "worth a hundred men," Nour requested him not to intervene and retain his "class." However, the male cast member replied, "I'm more classy than you."

Nour thanked the hosts when they interrupted the discussion, asking the men to be more respectful towards others. The Love is Blind: Habibi star stated she could not overlook the disrespect, refusing to accept what happened.
