Since the Love Is Blind season finale, several signs show producers might have painted Chelsea Griffin Appiah wrongly. For several reasons, fans never thought Chelsea and Kwame Appiah would tie the knot come the season 4 finale of Love Is Blind. First of all, Kwame seemed to have unresolved feelings for his other love interest at the pods, Micah Lussier. The two caused many eye-raising moments including when they flirted openly with each other during their Mexico trip.
Although Chelsea and Kwame managed to navigate that snag in their relationship safely, they faced new challenges as they tried to plan their future together. While Kwame talked openly about his readiness to marry Chelsea, he had reservations about certain aspects of their life as a married couple, such as his relocation to Seattle from Portland. However, Chelsea was always dismissive of Kwame’s concerns and never showed a willingness to talk about their future. Most viewers found Chelsea’s behavior disturbing and accused her of focusing only on the wedding and not necessarily the marriage.
Unsurprisingly, many fans expected Kwame to dump Chelsea at the altar during the season finale. However, he put all the naysayers to rest when he said, “I do,” thereby creating one of the biggest shocks of the season. Any doubts about their marriage status evaporated as the duo packed on the PDA during the Love Is Blind reunion special. After witnessing their wedding and how happy they looked at the reunion, fans think Chelsea got a bad edit due to how her relationship with Kwame has gone.
Chelsea Was As Invested In The Relationship As Kwame
After the Love Is Blind reunion, many of the show’s viewers have come out to slam producers for doing a bad edit on Chelsea’s character. This stance was given more credibility when fans watched a TikTok video of the Love Is Blind couples playing a game of “Truth or Drink” on Cut.com. The game involved the couples asking themselves a series of tricky questions, with the options of either answering truthfully or taking a drink from a golden wine cup. Apart from the fact that Chelsea and Kwame displayed great chemistry throughout the game, Chelsea also showed she wasn’t a passenger in the relationship as she gave fans a view of their marriage through her answers to the questions.
While answering a particular question, Chelsea noted how she and Kwame had a short attention span, making it difficult for them to focus on things for too long. Most Love Is Blind fans were impressed by the couple’s chemistry in the TikTok video and quickly took to social media to criticize the producers again for a bad edit job on Chelsea.
On Reddit, one particular user, femmagorgon, started a thread to discuss the issue while highlighting that Chelsea deserved much better from production. The OP noted that viewers watched the series believing Chelsea was a “crazy” person and hellbent on marriage.
Many users agreed with the OP’s arguments, with some noting how it had become a norm for producers to make one of the female cast members look unstable every year. While commenting, one user, mysocalledmayhem, wrote,
“The editors are SKILLED at making at least one woman look unstable and lacking self-awareness every season. It’s creepy to see the manipulation happening so effectively and even being susceptible to the influence myself.”
Chelsea and Kwame Are In Love
Since the show ended, Chelsea and Kwame have been trying to show viewers the true picture of their relationship. The Love Is Blind reunion special came one year after the couple tied the knot, and they looked so in tune with each other one could be easily forgiven for assuming they had been married for more than a year.
More recently, the TikTok video of the couples playing the “Truth or Drink” game surfaced online, and the chemistry between Chelsea and Kwame completely blew fans away. It was hard not to smile and chuckle while watching the two as they answered questions about their marriage and each other. The two seemed completely in love, and fans loved every bit of their romance.
While commenting on the Reddit thread on Chelsea’s bad edit, many users mentioned the pairs’ loved-up display during the Truth or Drink game. One particular user, Homesick-aliens, said,
“They had great chemistry in the reunion and truth or drink. The show did them dirty.”
Several fans also expressed their delight that the duo seemed to have a happy life together. They noted how the couples’ happy marriage is the perfect reward for their perseverance and wished them the best. Although most agreed that Chelsea probably got a bad edit from producers, they still maintained that she was sometimes dismissive of Kwame’s concerns and hoped things had changed.
Nonetheless, it is hard to tell if Chelsea’s early woes on Love Is Blind were down to bad editing from the producers. However, one thing for sure is that her relationship with Kwame has looked better to watch since the show ended. Their loved-up scenes further proved producers probably gave Chelsea a bad edit to create more intrigue and drama for fans.
