Love Is Blind season 6's Chelsea Blackwell compared herself to Megan Fox, and the online reaction was brutal. Chelsea found herself in a love quadrangle with white-bread Jimmy Presnell, TikTok model personified Jessica Vestal, and mulleted bodybuilder Trevor Sova. However, by comparing herself to Megan Fox, Chelsea piqued Jimmy's interest enough to cut things off with Jessica. Unfortunately for Jimmy, she may have exaggerated the resemblance. As Love Is Blind season 6 kicks off, it's time to investigate the online reaction to Chelsea's claims.
According to Reddit fans, Chelsea telling Jimmy she looked like Megan was a terrible mistake. One fan noted, "My favorite part was the big reveal of NOT Megan Fox," and another said, "I feel like Jimmy keeps saying you're gorgeous, you're pretty to Chelsea to convince himself he made the right choice. The Megan Fox comment absolutely swayed him." While Jimmy undoubtedly had a solid connection with Jessica, it's clear he couldn't get Megan out of his mind when picturing Chelsea. Chelsea said others noted their similarities because of their shared dark hair and light eyes, but it was a misleading comparison.
Irina Also Compared Herself To Megan Fox
Chelsea isn't the first to compare herself to one of the hottest American movie stars of the 21st century. Irina Solomonova, the villain of Love Is Blind season 4, also claimed to look like Megan when talking to Zack Goytowski in the pods. While Zack's choice of Irina was later mended with his marriage to Bliss Poureetezadi, it's possible her description also swayed his original decision. Chelsea may be insecure, but she's more relatable than Irina.
Reactions To Chelsea's Comparison Are Unfair
Chelsea is undoubtedly a beautiful person, and her comments to Jimmy were harmless. In Love Is Blind, Chelsea said that as a flight attendant she got told "all the time" that she looks like Megan. "It's just because I have dark hair and blue eyes," she says. "But I don't see it, so don't get excited." However, Jimmy did get excited, and then he was let down. In one of the least convincing talking heads of all time, Jimmy said, "She definitely lied to me about some, uh, how she looked. Chelsea told me she looked like Megan Fox. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter. I am very attracted to her. I can work with that."
However, some users online think viewers are overreacting. One Redditor noted, "Am I the only one who thinks that Chelsea DOES look like Megan Fox, at least a bit? Didn't she say people tell her that, not that she thinks that of herself? Like I do see it. I honestly think she is beautiful, nice and fun." While this might be true, the damage is already done, and vain Jimmy is bound to regret his choice when he finds Jessica on Instagram.
Chelsea is beautiful but insecure, and Jimmy is unwilling or unable to give her what she needs emotionally. While they seem somewhat committed to each other, both made mistakes in the pods. Chelsea and Trevor had a true connection, and she undoubtedly would've said yes to him if he had proposed first. Conversely, Jimmy became uncertain of Jessica when she revealed the existence of her 10-year-old daughter, Autumn. Chelsea saying she looked like Megan Fox was a mistake, but Jimmy has made plenty of mistakes of his own on Love Is Blind.
