Love is Blind is always full of drama, and the premier season of the UK version is no exception.
Just four episodes in, the reality show has already provided viewers with plenty of excitement, including the breakup of the previously engaged Sam and Nicole.
Before getting engaged in the pods, Nicole, who is a Surrey-based marketing agent, was split between Sam, the London-based product design manager, and her other love interest, Beniah, the Surrey landscape architect.
Nicole ultimately chose to be engaged to Sam, but things didn’t quite go as well as she had hoped when the walls were off.
In what fans are calling an “awkward” proposal, Sam appeared ecstatic while the bride-to-be was visibly unsure.
Things only got worse from there because when Sam got down on one knee to propose, he placed the ring on the wrong finger, which she later commented on as a “sign” that something was off.
Nicole quoted,
When I took the ring, I placed it on the wrong finger, on the right finger.

He didn’t notice. Now I look back in hindsight that was a sign that it just wasn’t right.
Nicole ended the engagement only hours after the proposal, a move many fans were glad to see after they apparently saw through Sam’s charades.
On Instagram, many fans threw cheeky banters at Nicole, commenting on why she would pick Sam over Beniah.
One user commented,
Girl he said “I THINK I love you” and you continued? 😭😭😭

It wasn’t just the fans who picked on Sam’s “red flags,” as Beniah warned Nicole in the pods as not being there for genuine reasons.
Beniah said,
I know with Sam, from what’s been said, he’s not here for genuine reasons. Or he’s at least saying that indicates he’s not here for genuine reasons. I believe he is here for fame, not love.

While other couples jetted off to Greece for the ‘Honeymoon‘ part of the show, Nicole talked about what changed between accepting Sam’s proposal and the consequent split.
Nicole said to the cameras,
Sam and I are meant to be on the retreat but something didn’t quite feel right,

After the breakup, fans hope Nicole and Beniah pick up where they left off.
In the trailer for the next four episodes, we can see the pair meeting up for the first time and Nicole telling Beniah that she “made a mistake.”
While that does not reveal anything about the two Surreyites’ relationship, viewers remain hopeful that they can look past this unfortunate mismatch and rekindle their spark.
