In the pods on Netflix’s ‘Love is Blind,’ there are different ways and different parameters by which participants judge and choose their potential partners. It is about finding someone who shares the same vision for the future, understands you, and aligns with what truly matters. In season 10, Brianna “Bri” McNees and Connor Spies found exactly what they were looking for in each other. There was an easy camaraderie between them, along with a lot of fun. Both knew that if they were going to take this gamble, it would only be with one another and no one else.
Bri and Connor Shared Values About the Family They Wanted to Build
Brianna “Bri” McNees and Connor Spies’ first conversation with one another was everything they had hoped it would be. It was fun and flirty, and they quickly discovered many similarities in each other’s lives. Both Bri and Connor envisioned having a family and a full home with many kids. They also realized they shared a fondness for Minneapolis, Minnesota, had each spent time there, and were both fans of ice skating. In fact, during their very first meeting, Connor jokingly asked if they should just get married already and head off on their honeymoon. However, they did have other connections in the pods as well. Connor was also speaking to Emma and, at one point, felt she was his number one. Bri, similarly, felt that way about Chris. Even so, Bri recognized that what she shared with Connor was more of a slow burn, one where she could genuinely imagine her entire life with him.
When they eventually spoke about their families and the similarities in their values, it became even clearer how well aligned they were. Both sets of parents were ecstatic about them joining the experiment, and after sharing so much, Bri and Connor agreed that being together was what they truly wanted. They respectfully communicated this to their other connections and began focusing on each other. Bri’s laugh immediately put Connor at ease during their first meeting, and it felt like things would move smoothly for them. However, when Connor saw Bri speaking to her former connection, Chris, in Cabo, Mexico, he became insecure and questioned whether his feelings truly mattered. She reassured him that it was only a casual conversation and nothing more, but it had already led to a few disagreements between them.
Bri and Connor Could Possibly be Making a Life Together
Bri and Connor shared a certain kind of compatibility that was only seen in a few couples. From the moment they met, they were at ease both physically and mentally, teasing and playing with one another with natural comfort. However, as soon as questions of jealousy and insecurity entered the picture, a few cracks began to appear between them. There are many ways they could repair this, find a path forward, and learn from their mistakes, especially since there is still a long road ahead. The couple has not spoken openly about how things eventually went between them, but they do remain socially connected. It seems they have the power to mend what was broken and may possibly have worked it all out and moved ahead together, but that remains unknown unless they choose to share their story.
