Love is Blind Habibi's reunion episode on November 1 marked an end to the coveted Middle Eastern version of the popular dating reality show. Like most other reunions of the franchise, this one also saw the participating couples of the season reunite for a sit-down interview.

At the reunion, Nour, who dated Dounia's fiancé Chafic in the pods, advised Dounia and Mido to work on their self-confidence. Nour said self-confidence would help Dounia cope with other beautiful women, like Nour herself, talking to Chafic in the future. She believed Dounia was jealous of Chafic talking to her (Nour).

Mido objected and said Dounia was confident and genuine and didn't need to work on her self-confidence. He told Nour that beauty wasn't a standard to follow because there were millions of beautiful women. He told Dounia:

"At least you have natural beauty."

He said this as a shade to Nour, emphasizing that beauty wasn't anything to be proud of. Dounia took the compliment and thanked Mido.


The conversation about looks at Love is Blind Habibi reunion

It didn't stop with Mido complimenting Dounia for being a natural beauty. The conversation about looks, centered specifically around natural v/s done-up faces, went even further at the Love is Blind Habibi reunion.

Mido said that beauty wasn't a standard and that there were many beautiful women, so it wasn't enough to decide a person's worth. Dounia added that self-confidence didn't come from looks. In her defense, Nour said during the Love is Blind Habibi reunion that she had two degrees and spoke three languages, so looks weren't the only thing she was calling herself worthy of.

Ammar added that it was Love is Blind, so they specifically came there to see beyond the looks aspect of a person. Chafic also spoke up about how Nour wasn't for Mido.

"I told him from the beginning. She's not for him. I don't want to disrespect her, maybe she's looking for an ATM machine. Is she going to Love is The ATM Machine Blind....the kind of woman who would prefer to cry in a Ferrari than be happy in a normal car," Chafic said.

He then mocked Nour's pout and said she walked like a crow, implying she had gotten surgeries.

Karma immediately objected to this and said it wasn't okay to mock someone's looks. She added that he was talking about a woman; they were all women there, and his comment stooped too low. When Chafic shushed her, Karma asked him not to silence her because she wasn't at his house.

When Mido asked Karma to let it go, Hajar said it was a shame for the men to talk like that and said they were being bullies and attacking girls. Nour added that they couldn't be perceived as men if they were against spending on a woman.

Simo defended his Love is Blind Habibi co-stars, saying they weren't just men; they were worth 100 men. Nour told him:

"A guilty conscience always reveals itself".

She implied that he could've been guilty about his actions with Yasmine and Hajar during the experience. She also asked him to act classy, but Simo said he was classier than her.
