'Love Is Blind' Reunion Revelations: Amber Calls Out Jess, Who's Back Together and More

The cast of Love Is Blind truly believes that love is blind. Jessica Batten and Mark Cuevas, Matt Barnett and Amber Pike, Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton, Kelly Chase and Kenny Barnes, Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers and Diamond Jack and Carlton Morton have a bond like no others: They are six couples who got engaged before ever laying eyes on each other. During season 1 of Netflix's dating show, six couples each got engaged within 10 days and had the chance to meet, go on vacation together, move in together and ultimately, plan a wedding. While five of the six pairs made it to the wedding, Diamond, 28, and Carlton, 34, did not. During their first night together in Mexico, he revealed that he is sexually fluid. While she was accepting, she was angry he hadn't told her and ultimately, they had a blowout fight that ended in her taking off her ring, him throwing it in the pool and them leaving separately. The other five couples worked on their relationships for 30 days until it was time to say "I do." Amber, 26, and Barnett, 27, had their ups and downs but both happily said "I do," as did Lauren, 32, and Cameron, 29. Unfortunately, others didn't get such a happy ending. Gigi, 25, was brokenhearted when Damian, 28, turned her down at the altar; Mark, 24, was embarrassed when Jessica, 34, said no; and Kenny, 27, was angry and upset when Kelly, 32, walked away from him. So, what happened when all six couples came face-to-face at the Thursday, March 5, reunion special? Scroll through the gallery below for the reunion's biggest revelations. [podcast_block]

Amber Calls out Jessica

Amber revealed that during the pods, she asked Barnett what was happening after Jessica told her he had said he'd propose tomorrow. He told Amber that wasn't how he meant it and she believed him. However, when she watched back Jessica's behavior, she was not happy.

"To see her throwing herself at him in Mexico, bitch, you're shiesty. You're so fake, coming to my face like we were so cool," the ex-military tank mechanic said. "You are so fake. I think you are a very disingenuous person and you know what? I hope seeing this, you do grow from it because that is not what the world needs — women that go behind people's backs like that. You were in engaged to another man you were leading on. He was engaged, he made his choice."

Jessica admitted she knew she owed both Amber and Barnett an apology for her actions. While Amber appreciated it, she wasn't sure she could accept it just yet.

Giannina and Damian Are Together

A few hours after their fight following the wedding, Gigi and Damian decided to meet and talk calmly about everything — and decided they wanted to be together. Damian revealed that he thought she was going to say no at the altar, then he would too and they'd leave together. He choked up in the reunion, apologizing for embarrassing her.

She later started crying also for the hurt she caused him. "Since the show, it's been such an amazing journey with you," she said before they hugged. A year later, they're still going stronger than ever and believe they will last forever.

Amber Drops the D-Word

While Amber and Barnett are going strong, they admitted that it's been hard because they are both stubborn. "When we butt heads, it could be bad. It could be intense," she said. It also put pressure on their relationship that she was "financially dependent" on him and that both of them were used to being flirty single people. 

In fact, at one point she wasn't sure it'd last. "I, at one point, had actually called about potentially getting the divorce lawyer. I was like, 'This isn't working,'" she said. Luckily, they've gone through it together. "It took us a while to figure out how to hang out and party together," she added.

Another Proposal

After such a tumultuous split, Carlton and Diamond both received death threats. He became emotional while apologizing but they did reveal they cleared the air ahead of season airing and both knew they reacted wrong.

"I've taken some self-reflection. Obviously what happened on the show was major in my life," he said. "Subject matters like that can take you down a dark road."

While they're not getting back together, he did propose again as an apology, asking if she'd take the ring as a token of his friendship — and she accepted.

Jessica's Drinking

When it was Jessica's turn in the hot seat, she revealed she definitely had drank too much during the season and had said things that were completely out of line. 

"I didn't like the person that I saw," she said. "I was drinking so much, and that was really disturbing to see that play out and some of the comments that I made that were derogatory and that certainly wasn't fair to Mark, who is a fantastic person and obviously very, very, attractive. ... That was never a concern, whatsoever."

Marc Reveals What He Wishes Jessica Told Him

Mark didn't have any bad feelings toward Jessica, despite their differences. "I couldn't be more thankful to go through it with someone like you," he said but did admit he wished that she had told him how she was feeling about Barnett.

Kelly Breaks Down

In the reunion, Kenny said that he's not at all embarrassed and is in a great relationship now. Kelly, in turn, was very emotional about the entire process. She shared that she did love Kenny but wasn't in love with him.

"I wanted to continue our journey of dating and getting to know one another," she said through tears. "And that didn't happen, and it's water under the bridge now, and I’m so happy for you and your relationship. But, I think I just needed time."
