This is the spot where I felt like her mother knew.

She was like, he's a nice man.

I feel like her mother didn't quite understand the assignment.

Dear Shandy.

Welcome back to your brand new, Dear Shandy, Love is Blind Recap listeners.

Hello, Andy. Hello. How are you today? Doing pretty good. How are you? Well, you sound very low. Yeah, I do sound low. Why is that? I don't know. Why? In a world. Why is that so sexy? I wish I didn't find it sexy, but I do. I think low is masculine. Is that what it is? So, yeah, like this is very low. Like a guy, a DJ on the radio with a low sexy voice like this. It can't start to sound like an affect though. Like here, I'm not doing affect here. There's my real voice. Does that sound different? Does that sound sexier? Yeah, but you still need to have like ups and downs. Like you need to, it still needs to sound like a speaking voice. Right now it sounds like you're trying to keep your voice. How about this? I'm talking like this. And then I inflect all over the place and now I'm really cool and sexy. Sounds good. No. Actually, that's actually not bad. No. Okay. Well, Andy, have a loavesblende recap to get to today. All right. Okay. The big finale, Andy, I don't even know where to start. I mean, it's kind of a downer, wasn't it? Oh, yeah. I mean, we saw it coming, though. We did. One of them, I think, I was being, you know, cautiously optimistic about, but we'll get there. I thought contractually they had to have at least someone, but apparently not. That's what I thought. I thought a couple had to end up married, but I guess you can't force such things. Okay, so we're going to start off with... Sorry, I had a hair in my mouth. So we're going to start off with Anton and Ali. Okay, so our first scene with Ali and Anton is Ali with her friends.

This is a hilarious scene.

She's got some friends.

She has a friend who sounds Russian.

Yeah, right?

She was speaking about Russian culture very authoritatively.

She talked about how in Russian culture the man is

the provider. It's tradition for the men to support the family. She said, maybe Anton's doing it on a

budget and then she's Snickers. This friend, I mean, she left me speechless, this friend. It was,

she was kind of mean. Yeah, she was mean. She was mean. She was mean Russian.

Yeah, but you could tell that she had no attachment to Anton, right? No.

Although she pronounced his name in correct Russian.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, not that we would know.

Ali says Anton makes really good money.

Well, well, good money.

And then the same friend asks if Ali's okay with him being a truck driver, a lot of people might look down on that, especially a woman of her caliber.
