Remarkable apotheosis in ‘Blind Married’: couple breaks up, but not wholeheartedly. “It hurts enormously” | showbiz

TVUnseen apotheosis in ‘Blind Married’. After Jana and Christiaan ended theirmarriage during the decision-making moment, Jana admits six weeks later thatshe still doubts that choice every day. “That ‘what if’ eats me up,” said theconfused kindergarten teacher, who previously put her husband on the gridbecause of his ‘narrow’ appearance and ‘sweet’ approach between the sheets.Her husband Christiaan wants to stick to the decision. “The fair option”, hecalls it. At the same time, ‘snails’ Jiri and Florence surprisingly chose eachother.

Jana provided a first in seven seasons of ‘Blind Married’ by bringing twoletters to the decision moment. One in case her Christian would say ‘no’, onefor ‘yes’. But it ended up being no. With a loving smile, Christiaan said thatthe couples weekend turned their otherwise happy relationship. “There were toomany differences,” he says. “The distance, the planning…” Christiaan doesn’tliterally say that Jana tripped over his ‘skinny’ build and his ‘sweet’approach in bed, but talks about “other differences that make you insecure andcause doubts.”

Christiaan told it with a smile – he didn’t have a cheat sheet – but when hiswife brought out her ‘no’ letter, the emergency nurse broke down. Still with asmile, but with a trembling lower lip and tears in his eyes, Christiaanlistened to Jana say that “she thanks him for his patience” and how she wisheshim a “calm, caring girl”. His heartbreak was felt in the living room.

An emotional ending for the most talked-about couple of this season. At leastso it seemed. Because when Ingeborg invited the four couples again for areunion six weeks after that moment, the duo no longer sounded so determined.The two hadn’t seen each other in all that time and Jana started to doubt itin the meantime. “It hurts terribly,” she says. “I still have moments everyday when I struggle with myself. That ‘what if’ eats me up.”

Christiaan is cooler when Ingeborg asks him why he said ‘no’ then. “It was awell-considered decision that we made together,” it sounds almost stoic. “Weknew rationally that it would be difficult in the future, so we chose the fairoption.” Very remarkable, because in the past episodes Christiaan was alwaysthe one who pulled the cart and always had a sparkle in his eye when he talkedabout his Lokerse brunette. Their story of attraction and repulsion does notseem to us to end yet. Perhaps a potential relationship would benefit from aperiod without cameras.

“Fuck it, I deserve too much”

For Jiri and Florence, the decision-making moment was less hectic, but the twoprovided the surprise of the season. In the most romantic speech of theseries, Jiri extensively declared love to his “sincere, sweet, reliable, warm,intelligent, sensitive, spontaneous, caring, pure” wife. The well-balancedJiri shed tears after his long list of adjectives when he saw his wife do thesame. “What you do to me, I have never experienced,” he read through histears. “Is this too good to be true? Fuck it, I deserve too much. I am a toughguy, I like to take that wall to break down further.” Florence, who said fromthe start that she had “no attraction” for Jiri, thanked her husband for hispatience and said that she is “still amazed every day by the similarities.”

High peaks and deep troughs characterize the route of the most talked aboutcouple of this season. For a long time it seemed to be going in the rightdirection, but in the end the distance between Geel and Lokeren turned out tobe too great. Jana detested this final episode for paying attention to thefact that things didn’t click right away physically. Like her decision, itseemed. “Since the decision-making moment, I feel to myself that things aren’tquite right on the inside. Saying ‘no’ to a person you liked at a certainmoment is very painful.” Maybe their story isn’t quite over yet? That willdepend on the coming weeks.

It seems to us that in the first place Jiri and Florence are very happy thatthe program is over. The two clearly participated in finding a partner forlife, the passage in a popular TV program was not necessary for them. The twoare looking forward to the future, they say at the reunion, although it alsogoes step by step. “The feelings are not ‘wow’ yet, but we are making nicememories”, says Florence, looking back with satisfaction. “In retrospect, itwent perfectly, a different way would not have been better.”

Joren and Lien have never really felt that way and that is what they say sixweeks after their joint ‘no’ in the town hall of Aarschot. It sounds like thetwo still hear each other regularly. And that they are proud, that despiteeverything they have shown a lot of respect for each other. The ultimatereason why it didn’t work out? “I think Lien had an ideal image in mind andthat I wasn’t quite,” Joren concludes.
