The fantastic love journey of Zack Goytowski and Bliss Poureetezadi in Love Is Blind season 4 has produced several special moments and has generally been an excellent watch for fans. While dating at the pods, Zack quickly gets dragged into an intense love triangle with Bliss and Irina Solomonova. It seemed as though Bliss had won over Zack’s heart when she baked him cupcakes for his birthday (whereas Irina completely forgot his special day). However, Zack surprisingly decided to end things with Bliss and proceeded to propose to Irina.
When Zack and Irina finally met face-to-face, things got off on the wrong foot — with Irina famously telling her then-fiance he looked like “something out of a cartoon.” It didn’t take long for them to realize they didn’t have any physical chemistry, and they eventually called it quits after acknowledging their engagement was a big mistake. Interestingly, Irina nudged Zack to go back and try to make things work with her old rival, Bliss.
After Mexico, Zack returned to Seattle, where he reunited with Bliss. The 31-year-old lawyer admitted he messed up and should have told Bliss he should have picked her in the first place. Zack then tells her he would like to give their relationship another chance to which Bliss agrees. While speaking on why it was so easy to give Zack a second chance, Bliss revealed in an interview with TODAY.com:
“I also really felt like I loved this person. I felt like this was my person, and I’m always open and willing to hear people out.”
Bliss also claimed intense chemistry between them was hard to resist. By episode 8, Zack and Bliss got engaged — making it a first in the show’s history. Although fans were initially skeptical about their relationship, the two have blossomed into a strong couple, and many of the show’s viewers are now rooting for them.
Love Is Blind Fans Think Zack and Bliss Balance Each Other Out
As the show nears the highly-anticipated final episode, fans have been talking about the chances of all remaining five couples in the series. One of the couples that fans have been making a solid case for is Zack and Bliss. The duo has come a long way from where their love story began, and some viewers feel they are a perfect fit for each other.
Recently, one Reddit user Ambitious_Cry9773 started a thread on Zack and Bliss’ relationship. While giving a brief narration on the couple, the OP described them as the most “real” on the show. The user went on to say that they balance each other out in a way that makes them a lot stronger as a couple.
Many of the users agreed with the OP’s sentiments. The fans noted that despite the apparent differences in their upbringing and lived experiences, the two are still essentially the same person. One user even highlighted how similar the two are by noting how Bliss was unfazed by an ugly owl picture in Zack’s apartment.
Many fans also pointed out how the two seem the readiest for marriage. Apart from being both quite successful in their respective careers, they have come off to most people as mature and willing to put in the work to make it work. While commenting on the thread, one Redditor, RB4078, passed a vote of confidence on the couple. The user said,
“Totally agree. They’re not a perfect couple, but they’re cute and have a ton of chemistry. I think they can make it work.”
Fans Think Zack and Bliss Will Help Each Other Grow
Zack’s decision to dump Bliss at the pods for Irina was one of the biggest moments of season 4, and many fans felt disappointed with his choice — given the way Bliss had shown a genuine interest in him. Fans felt he betrayed the love Bliss showed when she baked cupcakes for his birthday by choosing someone who didn’t even remember the date. While the show’s viewers still see it as a sore point, some fans feel it was an honest mistake he made due to his background.
The fans think it was easy for Zack to feel a false sense of trust with Irina because they both have to deal with trauma from their past. They argued that even though he was clearly in love with Bliss and the two had several similar interests, his childhood insecurities still played a part in blinding him to his true feelings.
However, fans expressed their excitement about how the couple was able to work through that episode and come out stronger. Most viewers commenting on the thread noted how that strongly indicated that the two will likely continue to grow together. A Redditor, TheGrassWasGreener77, wrote,
“I agree with this! I think they are definitely a great match for each other, and I do see them going all the way. They will both definitely learn and grow together, and it’s a beautiful thing. Cheers, Zack and Bliss!”
As the series inches closer to the finale, Zack and Bliss continue to feel fans with hopes of a genuinely happy ending. Their love journey might not have started beautifully, but they can now firmly rewrite their story any way they deem fit.
