"That woman is crazy" — Love is Blind: UK fans criticize Catherine for flirting with Sam

Love is Blind: UK released episodes 5-9 on Netflix on Wednesday, August 14, 2024. The cast members returned from their romantic getaway in Greece and navigated life in the U.K. as engaged couples. They lived together to test if they were compatible outside pods.

While tackling each other's lifestyles and habits, they also prepared to meet each other's family and friends. The Love is Blind: UK couples knew gaining family approval would be the ultimate challenge of their journey. One such couple, who hit a rough patch in the latest episodes, was Freddie and Catherine.

The duo's personalities often clashed. Freddie thought Catherine led a "bougie lifestyle" while he led a simple one. Catherine admitted they had different love languages which caused a rift between the two. According to her, Freddie was too casual and distant.

In episode 8, the Love is Blind: UK star became furious when Freddie called Sharlotte attractive. However, when she sought "attention," she did not hesitate to flirt with Sam, who along with Sharlotte arrived at the party. Fans of the show took to X to criticize Catherine's contradicting behavior. Many claimed Freddie deserved better.

"So Catherine complains about needing assurance on a night out then continues to flirt with Sam in Freddie’s face? No that woman is crazy and I don’t like how she makes that man feel. Freddie is too nice! #LoveIsBlindUK," a fan wrote.

"Catherine flirting heavily with Sam but was upset that Freddie said sharlotte was pretty #LoveIsBlindUK," another person wrote.

"Catherine flirting with Sam saying 100 times he looks like my ex but as soon as Freddie breath shes Nasty !! Freddie Run Run as fast as you can #Loveisblinduk #Loveisblind," a netizen commented.

Love is Blind: UK fans slammed Catherine for asking Freddie not to compliment another woman when she voluntarily flirted with Sam.

"Catherine flirting with Sam is a bit hmmmmmm after berating Freddie for just mentioning that Charlotte is attractive (after she was the one asked him) #LoveIsBlindUK Also, I may be biased coz I love Freddie," a person commented.

"Catherine is so hypocritical! How’s she going to moan about Freddie making her feel insecure and then doing all that with Sam!! How gross #LoveIsBlindUK," a fan tweeted.

"Catherine keeps going on about Sam looking like her ex but Freddie says Sharlotte’s attractive once and it’s a problem #LoveIsBlindUK," a user tweeted.

Viewers of the Netflix show sympathized with Freddie, unimpressed by the treatment meted out to him by Catherine.

Catherine doesn't deserve Freddie. He was such a light-hearted, fun, and jokey guy in the pods, and she's completely destroyed that she's awful to him #LoveIsBlindUK," a netizen commented.

"Freddie is one of thee finest men in there and Catherine is going around flirting with meady Sam like is she well? #LoveIsBlindUK," another fan wrote.

Love is Blind: UK star Catherine tells Sam that her engagement ring is a "knuckle-duster"

While speaking to Maria in Love is Blind: UK episode 8, Catherine complained Freddie was unaffectionate and despite telling him "a thousand times," he still waited for her to initiate a move. She added that he presented himself to be "silly" when she wanted "a man."

"I think our love languages are quite different, and I think all of a sudden I'm not confident in myself. And because Freddie doesn't understand it, I think I'm just struggling with that. It's not nice," said Catherine.

The Love is Blind: UK star's frustration peaked when Freddie said Sharlotte looked "attractive." Upset with him, she accused him of not considering her feelings. When she saw Sam at the party, she revealed he was a "spitting image" of her ex-boyfriend. One thing led to another and she started flirting with him.

When Sam showed her the ring and bracelet he gave to Nicole, she said she wanted that ring, because hers was a "knuckle-duster."

"That's the ring I wanted. Mine's a knuckle-duster," said Catherine.

She then suggested they meet whenever they were in London. During her confessional, the Love is Blind: UK cast member confessed she wanted "attention" and "reassurance" which she was not getting from Freddie.
