Love Is Blind couple Paul Peden and Micah Lussier have had a romantic rollercoaster on the show. Love Is Blind season 4 returned to a new location in Seattle with a new cast of singles who have produced a remarkably entertaining show. One of the cast members central to the show’s drama is 27-year-old marketing manager Micah Lussier.
Micah first grabbed attention during the pods due to her seamless connection with retired footballer Kwame Appiah. The duo shared a strong bond, and Kwame was ready to propose on the sixth day. However, Micah asked Kwame to hold off as she still had to choose due to her connection with 29-year-old environmental scientist Paul Peden.
Paul was also quite fond of Amber Wilder and had to choose between her or Micah. Although Paul always seemed hesitant to take his relationship with Micah to the next level, he ultimately proposed to her during the second episode. Micah’s decision may have left Kwame heartbroken, but he quickly bounced back by getting engaged to Chelsea Griffin.
Everyone seemed happy until the castmates finally came face-to-face with each other while honeymooning in Mexico. Micah and Kwame set the tone for some drama as they couldn’t hide their attraction for each other and constantly flirted openly. While Micah and Kwame’s flirting unsettled Chelsea, Paul didn’t seem bothered.
On his part, he had been entertaining the love overtures of Micah’s friend Irina Solomonova — who later declared she wanted to be with Paul. Despite all the shenanigans, all parties opted to remain with their original partners, with Irina failing to woo Paul to her side. Although Paul and Micah are heading into the finale as a couple, many of the show’s viewers aren’t confident about the pair’s relationship.
Love Is Blind Fans Think Paul Is Too Good for Micah
After the Mexico trip, Paul met his fiancé Micah’s friends, and their reaction to him pushed many of the show’s viewers to call out Micah on social media. Ahead of the meeting, Micah had made so much fuss about Paul looking nice to impress her friends, Shelby and Micayla.
However, when Paul finally met Micah’s friends, they seemed to pick a bone with him on nearly every topic. Shelby seemed more confrontational and even went as far as telling Paul she could end his relationship with Micah, so he must not do anything to enrage her. When Micah joked that Shelby was already inflamed, Paul replied, “I can’t say that I care.”
Things continued to be awkward between Paul and Micah’s friends throughout the party. However, fans were left unimpressed when Shelby said, “this wasn’t it” when discussing her expectations for Micah’s wedding. Shelby’s disrespectful comments enraged fans, and they slammed Micah for enabling her friend’s nasty attitude toward Paul. Many of the viewers went on to laud Paul for his exceptional qualities while highlighting that he was too good for Micah.
The conversation found its way to Reddit when a particular user, sammiebud, started a thread with the question tag, “What’s everyone’s opinion on Paul?” Many users quickly took to the comment section to express their fondness for the environmental scientist. While praising Paul for his rare qualities, some fans couldn’t help but take a wild dig at Micah. One user todayiseveryday commented,
“I like him. He’s smart and attractive, but I think he’s faking it. He seems a bit too smart to be swept up in this and claiming to love this derpy girl.”
Another user, luluxbebe, seemed to be in complete awe of Paul. While declaring that Paul was a “10/10 looks-wise and 10/10 intellect,” the user expressed a rare admiration for him. The user also fawned over Paul’s use of words during his proposal and ended by appreciating him for being himself.
Fans Think Paul Made a Mistake Picking Micah
As the conversation continued on Reddit, most fans tried to make sense of Paul’s relationship with Micah. Per the fans, the two do not show any chemistry, and it increasingly looks like Paul made a mistake by picking Micah. At some point during the honeymoon in Mexico, Paul had questioned his decision to dump Amber.
Many fans didn’t make much of it then, but now more of the show’s viewers firmly believe that Paul made the wrong decision at the pods. While commenting on the thread, many users emphasized the apparent mismatch between the two. One user, NerdBear04, said,
“I think he is a nice, smart, and honest guy, and I’m confused why someone like him is on this show. He’s so different from Micah too. I just don’t think she is the right choice for his personality. He needs a nerdy shy girl, and she isn’t that.”
Many fans also feel assured that Paul is not blind to the fact that he and Micah are incompatible. They think there is no chance he says “yes” at the altar but wants to see the show to the end. Whatever happens between Paul and Micah in the Love Is Blind finale, one thing for sure is that the former has won himself a loyal fanbase. Meanwhile, Micah would do well to reduce the influence of her friends in her relationship — after all, that got her in hot soup with fans in the first place.
