"I’m sorry bud why didn’t they air the disagreement of Alex and Tim but show the aftermath of it. I was so confused. If they can air that stupid fight of Nick and Hannah, they should show us that. It better be shown on the reunion"
"I need them to show this argument between Alex and Tim because, you mean to tell me, that everything they’re detailing in their convo e.g her cover his mouth during their argument was because she missed home and didn’t wanna talk about it???" a fan commented.
"How did the cameras miss this fight between Alex and Tim?!!' a tweet read.
Fans of Love is Blind season 7 wondered where cameras were when the argument took place:
"Now where were the cameras when Alex and Tim got into it????? The stuff after the party is the most interesting footage so far all season! Because whatever she said to that man made him not even wanna touch her when she was tryna hug all ovah him," a person wrote.
"Wait, how come they didn’t catch the fight between Alex and Tim. Whatever happened, Tim has literally turned ice cold towards Alex. Such a sham," a fan commented.
"I am so confused by this Alex and Tim issue. Was the argument/situation so bad that Netflix scrapped it or was is not caught on camera?" a tweet read.
Reacting to Tim's recollection of the argument, fans blamed Alex:
"Alexandra physically and verbally abused Tim. Physical - She says, “I put my hand over your mouth.” Verbally - He recalls, “You called me names outside of my character.” What we’re witnessing now is Alexandra the abuser gaslighting Tim down the aisle," a person wrote.
"Tim and Alexandra need to call it quits now. She does not respect boundaries at all. Yelling and calling the man out of his name. Tim said he didn’t want to sit closer to her because he was still upset abt the blow up yesterday and she moved closer to him anyway," a fan commented.
