'The evil stepsisters': 'Love Is Blind' fans slam Irina and Micah as they rejoice seeing Amber hurt

Fans feel Irina and Micah's 'mean girl' energy doesn't bode well for 'Love Is Blind' franchise

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON: The notorious pods have reopened and individuals are expecting to discover their soulmate once more in 'Love Is Blind' Season 4. Although viewers tune in each season expecting to see people find true love, they also end up selecting out "villains" who succeed to ruffle feathers. In Season 3, the crowd banded together to oppose Bartise Bowden and Cole Barnett. However, in this new season, show besties Irina Solomonova and Micah Lussier have estranged their fellow castmates and fans by engaging in "mean girl" behavior.

Before Season 4, the Netflix reality show 'Love Is Blind' had not had any apparent malevolent behavior. This time, however, viewers are criticizing Irina and Micah for their actions and remarks. Are Irina and Micah the season's villains? That may seem brutal, but their behavior in the first few episodes is evocative of other, lower-quality reality shows, rather than ones in which the aim is to find love and matrimony.

Irina and Micah 'giddy' after seeing Amber hurt

Irina and Micah lurk around the living room, listening in on other people's conversations and making snide remarks about men other women are interested in. Micah and Paul Peden (Amber being Paul's second choice) ultimately choose each other, but Micah makes Amber's emotional breakup all about herself, sarcastically questioning why he's "taking so long to end it." Amber returns, clearly upset, and seeks a place in the living room away from Micah and Irina to talk about what occurred — "I cannot be on that side with her," she tells Chelsea Griffin — but the awful twins refuse her any privacy.

In one of the season's most heinous scenes, Irina slinks through the kitchen, directed by Micah, to eavesdrop in on Amber and Chelsea's discussion. She laughs softly behind the counter as Amber cries about her romantic past, and when Amber stops, Irina flees, realizing she's been exposed. "Abort! Abort!" she screams to Micah. Chelsea, to her credit, calls Irina out for being the "villain" of the house before trying to pinpoint the source of her resentment: "People that talk bad about one another, it’s because they’re not cool with themselves."

'Who rejoices because someone is crying?'

Calling them out for laughing at Amber crying, a viewer wrote on Twitter, "Irina and Micah are very ugly souls. With ugly faces to match. Who laughs when someone is seriously crying?" Another person added, "Micah and Irina get my blood pressure UPPPP every time I see them giggling over someone crying, they’re actually so despicable this isn’t high school you witches." One person also wrote, "Watching Love is Blind and my blood literally boils from seeing Micah and Irina. I’d say they are childish but let’s not disrespect children like that. Point is, mean girls…At this age? Come on Who rejoices because someone is crying?" A fourth Twitter user wrote, "irina and micah literally GIDDY at seeing amber hurt, those two are the most nasty women i’ve ever seen on this show."

While describing the duo, fans wrote, "Micah and Irina definitely give off mean girls who peaked in high school." Another one added, "The evil stepsisters irl. Can’t stand them." Fans have already picked their pair in Season 3 and 4's villains Bartise and Irina, "These 2 were made for each other." One fan tweet also read, "I can't stop laughing because I know Micah and Irina are the kind of shallow bitchez to be combing twitter all excited to see everyone talking about the new season- only to see the thousands of tweets calling them gremlins, ugly stepsisters, mean girls etc."

First five episodes of 'Love Is Blind' Season 4 is now available for streaming on Netflix. Episodes 6-8 to drop March 31.
