The highly anticipated second season of Love is Blind: Sweden debuted on Netflix on March 13, unveiling its initial four episodes. This season’s opening showcases exhilarating moments of engagement in vibrant pods, alongside the subsequent, tender honeymoon phase. However, the emotional rollercoaster also brought heartache for some participants, as their expectations clashed with reality.
Jakob’s Complicated Love Triangle
From the outset, Jakob formed a strong connection with both Karolina and Emmelie, creating a tense love triangle. A pivotal conflict emerged when Karolina discovered that Jakob was revealing his vulnerabilities to both women. Despite expressing remorse for the emotional turmoil he caused Karolina, Jakob insisted that she was his primary choice.
The situation became even more strained for Emmelie, who was broken up with by Jakob in favor of Karolina. She felt misled after hearing Jakob profess future intentions with both women. Social media exploded with reactions as fans called out Jakob for what they perceived as manipulative behavior, labeling him a “gaslighter.”
“Jakob is a walking red flag,”a fan said.
“This Jakob guy na werey..the amount of gaslighting he’s done, surely this cannot end well,”said another.
“So happy Emmelie listened to her intuition and left..Karolina the silly babe however is probably still going to choose Jakob,”added a third.
“This Jakob guy is such a gaslighter. It’s like clockwork, we’ll always have one of these characters in this show,”wrote one.
Fan Reactions to Jakob’s Behavior
Viewers have picked up on subtle aspects of Jakob’s conduct, seeing him as a glaring “red flag.”Comments from fans range from critiques of his narcissistic tendencies to expressions of disbelief regarding his actions during the show.
“It’s evident that no one listens anymore.. Jakob clearly stated that “you’re the first person I’m telling this in detail” how’s that being a narcissist? Except he’s done something else I don’t get the hate,”an X user wrote.
“If Jakob is the best man she never had, I can’t even imagine what her exes put her through… Without even seeing each other, he already lied and gaslit her…,”another user wrote.
“Karolina’s reaction could be nerves or it could be pure lack of physical attraction, which could also be valid. I don’t feel bad for Jakob. He is self-hating and tried to gaslight Emmeline,”commented one.
“Jakob is so cringy and lacks so much awareness. Karolina is about to crawl out of her skin every time he mentions being close to her, knowing where she is or saying she can’t run away. It’s creepy,”wrote one.
Jakob’s Proposal to Karolina
After parting ways with Emmelie, Jakob fully committed to his relationship with Karolina. By episode 3 of Love is Blind: Sweden, he decided to propose, leading to a heartfelt moment when he got down on one knee, which Karolina happily accepted. Jakob later shared his emotions during a confessional:
“There have been rockets flying around and champagne corks popping in my heart and in my brain. There have been balloons flying all around. So, I’ve already been living in this perfect feeling and it’s incredible and it’s still there right now. This is the woman of my life.”
On their final date in the pods, Jakob referred to Karolina as “truly perfect,”expressing gratitude for their shared experiences. After their engagement, he declared that she made him feel like the happiest man alive, echoing Karolina’s sentiments of feeling “loved”and “seen.”
