These 'Love Is Blind' stars left toxic romances on national TV: 'It was gonna be a no'

The second season of "Love Is Blind," Netflix's dating binge-fest, spent much of its 10 episodes developing an emotional connection to cringe.

The season brought a windfall of baffling moments, many courtesy of two couples the internet couldn't stop talking about. One was chaotic and constantly bickering: Natalie Lee, the mellow yet goofy consultant whose love language is sarcasm, and Shayne Jansen, an extremely energetic real estate agent/notebook scribbler who covets validation. The other was downright toxic: Deepti Vempati, an optimisitc data analyst with a lot of patience, and Abhishek Chatterjee, better known as "Shake," a smarmy veterinarian with motorized drapes whose fat-phobic, misogynistic views of women doomed the relationship from the start.

Ultimately, Lee chose not to marry Jansen after he drunkenly berated her the night before their wedding, while Vempati proclaimed "I choose me" at the altar.
