'Married At First Sight' star Zach Justice and Jessica Batten of 'Love Is Blind' are a perfect match, say fans
'Love Is Blind' and 'Married At First Sight' are two successful shows airing on Netflix and Lifetime, respectively. And the interesting bit is they both try to make love happen but with a twist.
In 'Love Is Blind,' single men and women get engaged (after speed dating over a couple of days) in pods that are separated by walls so that the couples don't meet before they make the big promise. Whereas in 'Married At First Sight' couples are matched by experts and later made to walk the aisle, followed by a honeymoon trip.
Now, there are two characters on both of these shows who, fans believe, have not been matched correctly: Zach Justice of 'Married At First Sight' and Jessica Batten of 'Love Is Blind.'
Zach is married to Mindy Shiben but the couple cannot seem to get along. Even though their wedding ceremony went well and left Mindy gushing, Zach dropped a bomb on the first day of their honeymoon in Panama. He categorically told her that she wasn't building any attraction for him. This deeply impacted Mindy and she began resenting Zach, and understandably so.
However, she was willing to give their relationship another chance and was hoping they'd get a fresh start once she and Zach move in together in their new home in Washington DC but that didn't happen because Zach wanted his own space and decided to crash at his own place.
In 'Love Is Blind,' Jessica and her fiance, Mark Anthony Cuevas, move in together but their relationship got off to a bad start with her stating that he wasn't tall enough and not the kind of person she would go for. Also, she was struggling to match the Mark that she knew from the pods with one she has been living with. Jessica has also been very confused between Mark and Matt Barnett (whom she speed dated and was ready to get engaged to but he turned her down).
Meanwhile, fans think Zach and Jessica are a better match than the people they have been paired with. They believe both are vain and shallow, hence, a perfect pair.
"I found Zach's perfect match. Jessica from Love is Blind on Netflix. Not attracted to her match, into muscular men, superficial, shallow and into fitness," a user shared on Reddit, while another responded: "SO MUCH YES. mark being so into her is probably a turnoff because she seems to like the 'chase' game that toolbag’s like Mr 'i want space so i can miss you' Zach play. sidenote: calling it now- i think jessica will never 'grow' attraction to mark literally because he’s considered short, as she’s shallow and judgmental AF lol (and worried about being judged)."
"Jessica from #loveisblind and Zach from #MarriedAtFirstSight should be together. And while they are together, they should look into the concept of both shows considering they clearly have NO idea what either show is about. Can’t stand either of them," a viewer tweeted.
"They need to go get Zach off Married at first sight #MAFS and put him with Jessica on #LoveIsBlind They can be vain together! Perfect Match," another expressed.
