Jasmine and Nicole discuss the Sam situation on Love is Blind UK episode 3
In Love is Blind UK episode 3, Jasmine got engaged to Bobby so she was not interested in Sam anymore. But during her time when they were talking in the pods, Jasmine felt Sam "lacked depth." As Nicole's friend, Jasmine advised her to keep her options open and choose the guy she feels more drawn towards.
She said that Sam didn't have the same emotional depth as Benaiah. Nicole admitted that her connection with Benaiah was on a spiritual level that brought her peace and calmness. Nicole agreed, she told her Love is Blind UK co-star:
"Ben will make you feel more emotionally fulfilled. Sam lacks that depth, for me. That was just my gathering."
Nicole was already doubting Sam even though he had been consistent with his efforts and reassured her at every step. However, she didn't know that Sam was saying similar things to Jasmine as well. She shared that Sam's confession felt honest and genuine:
"From day one Sam told me, like I think you're it."
Upon hearing this, Jasmine shared that Sam had told the same to her. Nicole was surprised, she asked her if this was the same time around their second date, and Jasmine responded with a yes. Moreover, the Love is Blind UK contestant told Nicole to be more open, she said maybe Sam was being truthful:
"At the end of the day maybe Sam is telling the truth. I don't know. You know, you've got two great guys. You will pick what is best for you."
In the end, Nicole chose Sam over Benaiah who believed she had made a wrong decision but respected her choice. For Nicole, her intuition was telling her that Sam was being honest and Benaiah had misinterpreted his intentions.
