Love is Blind: Mexico released episodes 5-8 on Netflix on Thursday, August 8, 2024. It showcased couples living together, and navigating the challenges of everyday life. They met each other's family members and interacted with friends to seek their approval.
However, Saul and Leti parted ways after coming to Mexico City where they hoped they could start the next phase of their relationship. Since they disagreed on multiple subjects, they realized it made sense to break up.
Irais met Rene in episode 5 and requested him to reconcile with her. Previously, she had severed ties with him after their engagement because she was unimpressed by his appearance. She confessed she regretted her decision, which prompted Rene to reunite with her.
The Love is Blind: Mexico couple stunned the other cast members by announcing their reunion. Karen was shocked to see them together. She felt Irais returned so that she could forge a connection with her ex-flame and Karen's fiance, Fernando. Unable to hold herself back, Karen mocked Irais and Rene's relationship. Fans took to X to react to her remarks.
"Sorry but Karen is giving mean girl and now she’s starting to come off as a bully. I’m not even a big fan of Irais but I actually felt bad for her the way Karen was bulldozing her #LoveIsBlindMexico," a fan wrote.
"Omg the way Karen ate up irais #LoveIsBlindMexico," a person wrote.
"Karen is f**king crazy and truly living up to her name #LoveIsBlindMexico #LoveIsBlindMex," a netizen commented.
Love is Blind: Mexico fans said that although Karen's concerns regarding Irais and Fernando's relationship were justified, the way she reacted upon seeing Irais return with Rene was uncalled for.
"Wow, a grown woman acting like that. Karen needs some therapy I think. I feel so sorry for her man now. #loveisblindmexico," a user tweeted
"Karen’s argument is stupid. She’s making herself look messy and jealous. There’s a time and place #LoveIsBlindMexico," another person commented.
"Karen was right to say what she felt about Irais but she should not have argued for this long. Better to just keep an eye on her. Time will tell if she was right anyway. Arguing at this time was pointless. #loveisblindmexico," a fan tweeted.
Viewers of the Netflix show thought Karen was too concerned with Irais, Rene, and Fernando's connection. They hoped she focused on her relationship with Fernando, instead of scrutinizing the other's.
"Why does Karen keep commenting on Irais and her relationship with Rene? It’s getting weird now, why not focus on your own relationship with Fernando and let Irais and Rene be? It’s giving insecure #LoveIsBlindMexico," a netizen wrote.
"Karen really Karened oh my. #LoveIsBlindMexico," a person commented.
"I got more beef with love is Blind Mexico ep 6...is this for real? Karen is now acting like a bully, and I am very upset that she is the one who took away Rene's very bright smile. This is not ok! Let him be happy! (I hope Irais doesn't hurt him) #LIB #LoveIsBlindMexico #Netflix," another fan commented.
Love is Blind: Mexico episode 6: What did Karen tell Irais and Rene?
Karen was surprised to see Irais and Rene at Fernanda and Gerardo's barbecue party. Upon learning that they reunited, Karen disclosed to the cameras that Irais "never mentioned Rene," and that she "exclusively talked about Fernando" while they were at the Love is Blind: Mexico pods.
In the previous episodes, Irais admitted Fernando was her first choice. Only after he rejected her to be with Karen, did she steer her attention to Rene.
Karen mocked how happy the reunited couple looked. She refused to believe that Irais' intentions with Rene were genuine. She feared the cast member returned to rekindle her connection with Fernando.
"You know what was really shocking? How they're both so happy when Irais declared her love to Fernando, like..." said Karen.
The Love is Blind: Mexico cast member remarked, "Hey, love is blind," to indicate how incompatible Rene and Irais were. When Irais tried to explain she was not romantically involved with Fernando, Karen refused to listen to her, saying she did not "give a sh*t" about her relationship.
She thought Rene was a "brave man" for being with someone who "wasn't that into" him. Fernando requested Karen to cool down, whereas Irais stated the Love is Blind: Mexico star was projecting her insecurities onto her. Meanwhile, Rene thought Karen felt jealous and had some unresolved issues.
"I personally think that Karen has some unresolved issues that she probably just needed to clear the air with. I'm not the one to tell her that, I mean, it's not the right time, and she has a right to. But it did catch me off-guard," said Rene.
Episodes 1-8 of Love is Blind: Mexico are currently streaming only on Netflix.
