that Irina and Micah are not winning any popularity contests anytime soon.

There are few shows that induce such a massive wave of spirited reactions as Love Is Blind does. Netflix 's hit reality show that premiered in 2020 has taken the world by storm with its unique concept.

But while it has undoubtedly garnered a massive fan base, not every participant of the show has been well-received by the viewers. And from the recently released season, two such individuals are Irina and Micah, and the show's fans are not holding back their disapproval.

Love Is Blind follows single people looking for love who aren't allowed to see their potential matches until they've formed a connection based solely on personality and conversation. And throughout the show's four seasons, we've seen some very controversial participants.

Last season, it was Bartise Bowden and the season before that – Shayne Jansen. The reason why they got so much hate was how they treated the partners they picked. The newest season, however, introduced us to two ladies who became friends in the women's living quarters – Irina and Micah. And their questionable behavior has not gone unnoticed by the viewers, who are calling them out online.

So, what is it about them that's not sitting well with the audience? Well, for starters, they come off as mean and unpleasant. In the very first episode, we see them talking behind Micah's rival Amber's back and making fun of her while she's in the same room, going as far as calling her a loser.

But it was during the season's second episode when, what people have named one of the most despicable actions they had ever seen, took place. In case you missed it, let's set the scene – Paul had just told Amber, whom he had previously established a bond with, that he wanted to explore another connection, which left her in tears.

Upon her return to the women's living quarters, she went to talk to another participant in private to explain what happened. Then we see Irina sneaking around to eavesdrop on their conversation and laughing at Amber's heartbreak while she's crying.

Needless to say, this didn't go down well with the viewers, who are noting that the two women seem to take pleasure in the pain of others, dubbing them "immature and cruel." Fans also find it astonishing how someone can be comfortable acting this way on national television, knowing that millions of people will be watching this. This makes many of us wonder how they behave when the cameras are not rolling.
