‘Love Is Blind’: Fans think Mark deserves better and call Jessica out for treating him as a 2nd option

She wants to be with Barnett, who said he likes her and based on that line, she bailed on Mark. She later took him back after Barnett told her he was unsure and is going to date either LC or Amber

'Love Is Blind' has paired some cute couples but also a few confusing ones. 

Even though Jessica, 34, enjoyed a deep, emotional connection with Mark, 24, she was always wary of their age difference. But, one could see the honesty in his eyes and the love he genuinely felt for Jessica after dating her for a few days through the pods. Mark was confident that they'd walk down the aisle, especially after Jessica told him that she sees them walking out of the pods together. 

But, the next day she changed the scene completely by saying she doesn't picture them together and that she has made other connections in the process that plug into her life in a better way. However, she was also sad and worried that her making a decision would hurt Mark. She wants to be with Barnett, who said he likes her and just based on that line, Jessica bailed on Mark. However, later, she took him back after Barnett told her he was unsure of her and is going to date either LC or Amber. But, Mark was elated that Jessica had changed her mind about him and was thrilled to spend two days in Cancun, Mexico, away from any distraction whatsoever. 

However, Jessica was having a hard time establishing a physical connection with him. The moment she met Barnett for the first time at the couples get-together by the beach organized by the show, you could see she was gushing over him and interacting with him. On the last day of their trip, she even told Kelly that if given a choice she would go for Barnett any day.

While the rest of the couples enjoyed their time off, Mark was struggling to understand what was not right between them while also being considerate of Jessica's wishes and wants. He made it very clear that he wouldn't want to force anything on her. 

Meanwhile, fans are calling out Jessica and are of the opinion that Mark deserves way better than her. 

"Jessica is the worst and she doesn’t deserve Mark! Hope Mark dumps her and he goes on to find the love he deserves. For someone who was so worried about the age gap, she’s the immature one here #LoveIsBlind," a fan shared, while another wrote: "Mark deserves better. Jessica is just trash #LoveIsBlind." 

"I just don’t care for how Jessica is disrespecting the relationship between Amber and Barnett. And don’t even start me on how she is treating that lovely man, Mark. He deserves better. Much better. #loveisblind," a user expressed. "Why is Jessica still so focused on Barnett? Like girl. You are in paradise with Mark. If she knew her feelings for Barnett were stronger than those for Mark she should’ve left not chosen Mark as a second option. She's frustrating and fake and I dont like her #LoveIsBlind" a fan tweeted.
