Love Is Blind’s Hannah Jiles Responds to Viewer Fury About How She Treats Nick Dorka
We’ve endured plenty of cringe-inducing moments so far on Season 7 of Love Is Blind, but one couple that has been particularly difficult to watch is Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka. When they came out of the pods, it was unclear if she was even into him. Once they returned to Washington D.C., she criticized him for his living arrangement. It was brutal.
As the season heads towards its conclusion, fans of the show have been critical of Hannah’s attitude. Some folks really don’t approve of the way she talks to Nick, but she recently opened up about how the feedback has shifted her perspective. She’s listening and learning.
Love Is Blind Season 7 update: Hannah Jiles is rolling with the feedback
In a recent interview on The Viall Files podcast, Hannah opened up about what it’s been like watching herself on Season 7 of Love is Blind. She said she “learned a lot” seeing herself on TV.
“For example, I am a very direct person. I know that but I think my delivery is rough — and delivery is everything,” she confessed.
Of course, directness is important on this show because you have to figure out if your mystery partner has marriage potential. You never know who is hiding a criminal history, and Hannah admitted that the pressure influenced her behavior. However, she said that watching it all back felt eye-opening.
“When you can see it you’re like, ‘Gosh that was really harsh.’ So I’ve learned to be kinder [and] work on my delivery,” Hannah shared. “Sometimes just because it’s the truth and it’s what you’re feeling doesn’t mean that you have to say it out loud. Maybe think about it, think about the delivery, be a little softer.”
According to Hannah, the whole experience has been transformative because it forced her to look more closely at what she wants from her partner. In the future, she’s hoping more people will call her out on her delivery. Is Nick going to be involved in that future? That’s still to be determined.
Love is Blind Season 7 is streaming on Netflix, and new episodes drop on Wednesdays.
