Contains spoilers for the first four episodes of Love Is Blind, season three.
Series three of Love Is Blind may have only just appeared on Netflix, but already fans have found their favourites (Alexa and Brennon obviously)… and their least favourites. And unfortunately, it looks like viewers have put Cole Barnett firmly in the latter category, despite only four episodes having been released.
Naturally they took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the reality star, and they haven’t held back. One viewer commented, “10 minutes into season 3 Love Is Blind and I think maybe Cole is a bit of a villain” whilst another tweeted, “Watching Love Is Blind season 3 and Cole and Zanab are giving mega Shayne and Natalie vibes… These women are way too beautiful and mature for these childish men. Zanab pls run bestie!!!”
