"Excellent instincts"— Love is Blind UK fans praise Jasmine for seeing Sam's "red flags"

Love is Blind UK season 1 premiered on Wednesday, August 7, 2024. The episode featured several cast members navigating complex relationships as they interacted with each other. While some immediately found the one person they knew they wanted to pursue, others romantically connected with multiple people before deciding on one person.

One such cast member was Jasmine, who was initially interested in Bobby and Sam. However, not soon after the series began, Jasmine rejected the latter and got engaged to Bobby in episode 2. Sam, who was also interested in two people, eventually got engaged to Nicole.

The male cast member made several statements during his time on the show, which fans considered a "red flag" and applauded Jasmine for not choosing Sam. One person wrote on X:

"jasmine has excellent instincts on #LoveIsBlindUK because sam’s reactions to her concerns (‘this is ridiculous. should i just be alone forever??’) and the breakup (‘I’m an idiot! she gave me 30 seconds! she gave me 10 seconds!’) is so manipulative. stop playing the victim!!"

Several other fans shared similar sentiments online.

"God did I need Jasmine’s bullsh*t radar when I first started dating… That girl can see Sam’s red flags through the wall! #loveisblindUK," a fan commented.

"Sam creeps me out so so much. Jasmine's intuition is amazing. The way he flipped when he brought up her concerns? Weird #LoveIsBlindUK," a tweet read.

Chiming in about how Sam handled rejection from Jasmine, Love is Blind UK fans said:

"Literally got the ick from Sam in the first 2 minutes he was on screen. Now that I see how he handled his rejection from Jasmine, my red flag intuition was right. Yuck #loveisblind #LoveIsBlindUK," a person wrote.

"This is an appreciation post for Jasmine and her ability to immediately clock Sam on his bullsh*t #LoveIsBlindUK," a fan commented.

"I didn’t like this man from the second he said “sweet guys never get picked” Jasmine was RIGHT to trust her gut he is the worst #LoveIsBlindUK," a tweet read.

Love is Blind UK fans further said:

"Shout out to Jasmine because she noticed Sam’s red flags. I wish Nicole would see that. Honestly she gets her 10s. #LoveIsBlindUK," a person wrote.

"Props to jasmine for being able to see through Sam’s sh*t #LoveIsBlindUK," a fan commented.

What happened between Jasmine and Sam in Love is Blind UK episode 2?

In Love is Blind UK season 1 episode 2, Jasmine compared Bobby and Sam in a confessional. She said that while Bobby had a "quiet confidence" about him, she had a gut feeling that the latter was one of the "attractive guys" who was used to getting what he wanted. She added that, as much as she liked the cast member, she had concerns about him.

During Jasmine and Sam's date in episode 2, the male cast member told her that while he connected with two people in the pods, Jasmine's name was "stuck" in his mind. The Love is Blind UK cast member called it a "gut feeling" and said he felt she was going to give him "the love" and affection he needed as a person.

Talking about Nicole, simply referring to her "as the other person," Sam added that he didn't think she knew what he needed. The participant added that he felt Jasmine would be a "big rock" in his life. Sam added that his feelings towards her were "crazy."

"Okay. Um, you know what, right? I feel like our conversations flow. Yeah? Do you know my only apprehension with you? I don't know why. I kind of have this, like, gut feeling you're telling me what I want to hear," Jasmine said.

That conversation was the last the Love is Blind UK cast members had with one another. Soon after, Jasmine got engaged to Bobby, and Sam told Nicole he wanted to be with her.
