Love Is Blindseason 7 has featured many villains, and three of the women make the cut for the worstLove Is Blindvillainson the show. The Washington, D.C. season started strong, but only three couples remain as the weddings approach:Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser, Taylor Krause and Garrett Josemans, and Marissa George and Ramses Prashad. However,Tyler’s sperm donor drama, Ramses' hypocritical ideals, and Garrett’s text to an ex threaten all three of the weddings.
While the men have traditionally been the villains inLove Is Blind, the women aren’t exempt.Love Is Blindseason 7proved the producers no longer care about the contestants. Between Tyler’s lies,Stephen Richardson’s sleep test controversy, andformer football player Nick Dorka’s inability to boil pasta, the men have been deeply disappointing. However, the ladies haven’t stepped up in recent years either. Here are the worst femaleLove Is Blindvillains over the years.
8Monica Davis
She Was High-Maintenance
Monica didn’t deserve what happened to her inLove Is Blindseason 7, but she’s lucky that Stephen was the one to make a relationship-ending mistake due to her foul attitude throughout the season. From the start,Monica looked down upon Stephen for his blue-collar careeras an electrician. Despite claims she wasn’t materialistic, it seemed Monica cared more about gifts than anything else.

Monica scoffed when Stephen didn’t know the difference between Kate Spade and Louis Vuitton, criticizing him at every turn. Stephen was scared of Monica by the time he broke up with her. However, he seemed to relish the mistreatment, given his desire for his fiancée to “treat [him] like a piece of meat.”
Monica claimed her third love language was gift giving and was disappointed Stephen hadn’t bought her flowers. However, they were still in Mexico– she barely gave him any time to provide her with fresh flowers. Monica belittled and dismissed Stephen at every turn. While he shouldn’t have cheated on her via text, it’s possible Stephen purposefully sabotaged the experiment to get away from Monica.
7Alex Byrd
She Allegedly Covered Tim’s Mouth During An Argument
Alex also positioned herself as a villain inLove Is Blindseason 7 after her hatred towards Tim Godbee became obvious. While the two connected in the pods, Tim’s trauma dumping regarding his two late sisters provided the cornerstone of their relationship. During their honeymoon, it quickly became clear Tim and Alex weren’t suitable for each other.Alex was used to the princess treatment from her father, and Tim liked to joke around. She wouldn’t even let him buy a hat and rolled her eyes at his “dog in me” references.
Alex and Tim hated each other, but Tim wanted to try to make their marriage work.
Alex was messy, bratty, and no fun. She dimmed Tim’s shine at every turn and wanted to initiate fights when he specifically voiced his conflict-avoidant nature. In a fight that occurred off-camera, Alex allegedly covered Tim’s mouth to get him to stop talking. While Alex claimed in aVulturearticle that the argument never got physical, this hasn’t been corroborated by both sides.
Alex expected to be treated like a queen while acting like a peasant, choosing to take a nap instead of spending time with Tim’s parents, who drove ten hours to meet her. Her house was a mess, and Tim preferred an immaculate home. While Tim pulled out all the stops for Alex’s family, preparing their meal and cleaning afterward, Alex did nothing to show Tim she valued his parents' approval. Tim was right to break up with her.
6Micah Lussier
She Was A Mean Girl In The Pods
Micah Lussier was a mean girl inLove Is Blindseason 4, but has gone through a redemption arc in recent years. However, it’s important not to forget Micah’s villainous behavior on the show. Micah formed a close friendship with Irina Solomonova, and together, they were shown gossiping and making fun of other women in the pods. Irina and Micah were unnecessarily cruel, particularly towards Amber Wilder and Bliss Poureetezadi. In an iconic moment, Micah and Irina enjoyed Amber’s emotional reaction after getting rejected by Paul Peden, Micah’s future fiancé.

Seattle, Washington
Micah was also involved in stirring up drama with Kwame Appiah and Chelsea Griffin Appiah during the honeymoon phase of the show. She continued to interact flirtatiously with Kwame, even though both were already engaged to other people. The flirtation at a pool party after the engagements was super cringey, asMicah appeared to undermine Kwame’s relationship with Chelsea, creating a love triangle. Micah also allowed her friend Shelby to speak disrespectfully to Paul, contributing to her mean girl image.
5Zanab Jaffrey
The Cuties Incident Revealed Her True Colors
Zanab Jaffrey is a uniqueLove Is Blindvillain in the way that her insidious ways went largely unchecked until the finale and beyond. At the altar, Zanab chose to end the relationship with a pointed speech criticizing Cole Barnett for what she described as disrespectful behavior, claiming he “shattered [her] self-confidence.” Her remarks shocked Cole, and it became obviousZanab used the platform to humiliate Colerather than rejecting him at the altar.
Zanab’s iconic clementine incidentfurther proved her villainy inLove Is Blind. The controversial moment involved Zanab accusing Cole of controlling her diet by questioning whether she should eat two small tangerines. Though a clip later showed this exchange happened, it was clear Cole didn’t want Zanab to ruin her appetite for dinner, and it had nothing to do with policing her eating habits. Her unfair accusations led to Cole sobbing at the reunion, firmly cementing her villain status.
4Jackelina Bonds
She Questioned Marshall’s Sexuality And Masculinity
Jackelina “Jackie” Bonds was an absolute dumpster fire onLove Is Blind. She had a difficult time choosing between the combative Josh Demas and the kind Marshall Glaze in the pods, ultimately accepting an engagement from the latter. However, Jackie immediately proved she didn’t deserve Marshall. She wanted more “fight” in the relationship, and Jackie’s text messages insulting Marshall were leaked online. Jackie questioned Marshall’s sexuality and masculinity, perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
It’s never appropriate for fans to threaten reality TV cast members with death threats, no matter how bad their behavior appears on the show.
Moreover,Jackie’s decision to end things with Marshall shortly before rekindling her connection with Joshfelt disingenuous and disrespectful. Jackie played the victim online, citing death threats and vitriol from the fan base for her pre-recorded video appearance at the reunion. Marshall got engaged to someone else afterLove Is Blindseason 4, but they recently broke off their engagement. Additionally, Jackie and Josh also dated after the show, but they are no longer together. While death threats are never OK, Jackie deserves her villain status after how she treated Marshall.
3Sarah Ann Bick
She Didn’t Respect Jeramey And Laura’s Engagement
Sarah Ann Bick was a villain from the start ofLove Is Blindseason 6. She connected with Jeramey Lutinski in the pods, who eventually chose to propose to Laura Dadisman. However, it became clear that Laura hated Jeramey, belittling his education and insulting his propensity towards Hawaiian shirts. While Jeramey should’ve just broken up with Laura, he made himself a villain on the show when Sarah Ann reached out to him.
Although Jeramey was engaged to Laura,Sarah Ann sent him a message after their time in the pods, letting him know she’d still like to meet up if he was open to it. This led to a messy situation where Jeramey and Sarah Ann were caught by Laura meeting up late into the night while he was still engaged. He was out until 5 a.m. with Sarah Ann, and while he claimed nothing happened, she tracked him back to her apartment through his Apple Watch.
During the reunion,Sarah Ann defended her actions, stating that she and Jeramey had a genuine connection. Sarah Ann’s unapologetic attitude and “pick me” personality made her one of the worstLove Is Blindvillains ever. Additionally, the fact that Sarah Ann and Jeramey left the cast’s lake meetup on jet skis right in front of Laura only added fuel to the drama. She and Jeramey dated for over a year but recently broke up.
2Irina Solomonova
She Was A Terrible Friend And Fiancée
Irina was an iconic villain inLove Is Blinddespite barely making it past the pod stage. She and Micah started on the wrong foot when they mocked and made fun of other female contestants in the pods. Micah and Irina laughed at the other contestants' emotional moments, which was cruel. While Micah’s behavior was unacceptable, it was clear that Irina was the ringleader between the two.
Irina couldn’t redeem herself afterLove Is Blind,and will always remain a villain in the minds of fans.
Irina also tried to sabotage Zack Goytowski’s relationship with Bliss in the pods, belittling her in her conversations with him and manipulating him into an engagement. After they made it to the honeymoon, Irina made it clear that she was not attracted to him and made hurtful comments about his appearance.She even referred to Zack as “creepy,“which hasn’t aged well, given his loving marriage to Bliss.
Despite being engaged to Zack,Irina flirted with Paul, Micah’s fiancé. This made her come across as disloyal and manipulative, which Micah was forced to address after they returned to Seattle. Furthermore, she didn’t apologize at the reunion, instead blaming anxiety for her villainous behavior. Irina was the worst and largely deserved the criticism she received after the show.
1Hannah Jiles
She Told Nick He Wasn’t An Equal
Hannah Jiles is one of the most shocking and insidious villains who has ever appeared onLove Is Blind, as evidenced through her relationship with Nick. In the pods, Hannah revealed she was the youngest cast member on the season at 26 and quit her job to appear on the show. However, she also touted herself as the most mature cast member. She connected with art dealer Leo Braudy and Nick in the pods, eventually cutting Nick off because of her body insecurities. Hannah went crawling back to Nick after she discovered his other relationship with Brittany Wisniewski.
Hannah’s hatred for Nick began the moment she saw him in the reveal. Despite her appearance issues,Hannah criticized Nick for being scrawnier and shorter than anticipated. In Mexico, Nick gave her “the ick” because he had a sense of humor by riding a fake swan into the ocean. She was no fun and berated Nick at every turn, constantly criticizing his appearance, maturity, and personality.
“You get treated like an equal when you start contributing like an equal.”
Hannah tried to cast Nick as the villain in episodes 10 and 11, but she made herself the bad guy. After rock climbing, Hannah told Nick, “you get treated like an equal when you start contributing like an equal,” which was a bold statement for an unemployed woman. Additionally, she berated him for flirting with pod connection Katie at the 1920s party, during which she loudly talked about her sex life with Nick, something he asked her not to do on camera.
Nick had some serious growing up to do, but Hannah was just evil. She treated him like a child and only stayed with him to teach him a lesson. Unfortunately for Hannah, she didn’t come off as the feminist hero she anticipated onLove Is Blind.
Love Is Blindseason 7’s finale drops on Wednesday, October 23 at 12 a.m. ET on Netflix.
