All the editing blunders and staged moments in Love Is Blind season six on Netflix

The editing during Love Is Blind season six has been all over the place. Despite the show’s best attempts to look as real as possible and cover up continuity errors, it’s still been a messy affair.

From staged moments, to the camera crew being spotted in the bushes – it’s been hard to watch the drama unfold without being constantly reminded that we’re watching a TV show, and a lot of the chaos is made to look that way for our entertainment. Nothing is sacred!

Here’s a rundown of all the editing errors and staged moments spotted during Love Is Blind season six on Netflix.

The show was called out for being staged in the pods

At the start of every season, loads of daters head to the pods to chat to potential suitors without seeing them. They are meant to chat, ask questions, and get to know one another naturally, without thinking about what they look like. However, in episode three of season six, it’s been noted these conversations might not be as “natural” as they seem.

During a date between Jimmy and Jessica, Jessica could be seen with her notepad chatting. However, the pad was full of printed out text. It doesn’t exactly look like she was taking notes or writing down prompts for her date – it was a full page of printed out sentences.

“Umm tell me why this looks like script,” one person said, talking about the moment in a Facebook group. “This is very clearly printed.” Another added: “It’s literally all scripted.”

There was also a huge editing error in the Love Is Blind season six pods

The first editing error in Love Is Blind season six was in episode four – when the pods section of the show was very well established. It came just before *that* EpiPen speech from Jessica, in the pods with Jimmy.

Trevor, Johnny and Jeramey could be seen chatting in the men’s living quarters about what Trevor was going to do about the love square he seemed to have found himself in. Trevor was sat at one end of the table, Johnny at the other, and Jeramey was stood up at the counter.

The camera pans to just Trevor’s face, and you can happily see the chairs around him are empty. However, then the camera pans back out to a wider shot of the entire room, and suddenly there’s a random man sat opposite Trevor?!

Who is this guy?! How did nobody notice he just magically appeared in shot?!

Possibly the biggest editing error of all time happened during Love Is Blind season six

What’s been called the biggest editing error in all of Love Is Blind history came in episode seven of season six – when the newly engaged couples headed on a holiday together to celebrate their commitments in the pods and start getting to know each other in the real world.

Clay had just randomly dropped a bombshell about not wanting to let AD down, and out of nowhere all of these lines appeared on screen?! It’s almost as though the scene had been split in two, with Clay filming his bit, AD filming hers and then the two shots being pieced back together.

At one point, Clay’s fingers crossed over one of the lines on the screen, and became all chopped up and disjointed from his hand. “I knew reality TV was fake but this was a really bad edit fail by Netflix that my wife caught,” the person who spotted it said on TikTok. “I don’t understand why you can see the line as the[y] could paint over this in final post so you couldn’t see it. Shoddy work,” one person commented.

“Love Is Blind more like Love Is Edited,” another comment said. The original poster then shared their theory of what’s going on, and said: “We think they pieced together a different scene to show the reaction we are seeing here. They probably didn’t like her actual reaction when he spoke.”

Then there was a moment where the footage was reversed

In another bizarre moment, footage from when AD met with Clay’s mum had very clearly been completely reversed. For absolutely no reason, the scarf AD gets handed appears and disappears multiple times in the shot, and at one point moves completely backwards. Sure!

The Love Is Blind camera crew was hilariously spotted in the bushes

This one makes me chuckle every time – the Love Is Blind camera crew was just seen clear as day hanging out in the bushes. No biggie, just getting some angles!

The moment came in episode 10 of season six, as the cast headed to a bbq catch up to hash out all the drama. Some arrived in their couples, and some arrived on their own – as more of the chaos that’s been happening behind closed doors was revealed to fellow cast members.

AD arrived early to the get together, and was later joined by partner Clay, who had been at work. As Clay arrived, he went over to Jimmy to say hi, and behind them the Love Is Blind camera crew is right there in the bushes for all to see.

In the same episode drop, there was an editing error that proved a dramatic entrance wasn’t all that much of a big deal

At the same get together, the girls sat down together and passed around the “scrunchie of truth” – they basically passed a hair tie around and whoever had it was allowed to spill their truths about their relationship.

Laura was given the scrunchie, and then started talking about her finding out Jeramey had been on a night out with Sarah-Ann until 5am. Then, guess who walked into the party? Jeramey of course!

But, as we see the girls’ reactions to him walking in, Chelsea is wearing the scrunchie, and she’s two people on from Laura in the group. So basically, a lot of time had passed between Laura talking about Jeramey and then him walking in, it wasn’t the big dramatic entrance just as the girls were talking about him like it was made out to be.

If you rewatch this entire scene, you’ll see reactions from the girls have been chopped up and moved around countless times, as that damn scrunchie is jumping from wrist to wrist in seconds. The scrunchie of truth told nothing but lies.
