Love Is Blind Habibi finally put the fans' anticipation to rest by releasing the reunion on November 1. The pod squad joined the hosts Elham Ali and Khaled Saqr to reunite and chime in one more time about their journey in the show. The reunion also revealed the pod squad’s post-show dynamics.
As the reunion aired, fans witnessed the burning arguments, opinion clashes, and drama. Dounia and Nour once again stood face-to-face to clear the air out. Nour pointed at Dounia saying she was unconfident and insecure as a person. This led to a clash between the two. Quite a few contestants, including Chafic, supported Dounia.
However, Love Is Blind Habibi fans criticized Dounia for not seeing the true nature of Chafic and staying with him post the show. They also expressed their disappointment towards Dounia being mean to Nour and ganging up with other cast members against her. One fan took to X and wrote:
“Bless Dounia's heart, but I had to block her after the #loveisblindHabibi reunion. She was giving Ashley energy sticking beside a trash dude. #LoveIsBlind #loveisblindhabibireunion #LOVEISBLINDreunion”
Other Love Is Blind Habibi fans joined in:
“I don’t understand girls like Dounia who let their partners insult other women, thinking it won’t one day be directed at them #LoveIsBlindHabibi
I thought I would feel bad for Dounia like I did earlier but I don't. Girl, you literally mad at Nour for talking to your fiancé while you were talking to someone else's fiancé. Nour's right. You're insecure. #LoveIsBlindHabibi
I really dislike girls like Dounia. Not a girls girl in the slightest. Embarrassing. No wonder she wasn’t my fav. This energy you have for Nour hasn’t made sense from the beginning #LoveIsBlindHabibi #loveisblindhabibireunion
Dounia staying w Chafic after seeing his character even within this reunion just speaks to her character because you think my man can be bashing another woman like that???? Throwing tomatoes and bricks #LoveIsBlindHabibi
Dounia’s problem is she can’t control her man’s wondering eye, and that’s not Nour’s problem.. #loveisblindhabibireunion #LoveIsBlindHabibi
Why did Dounia and Nour clash during the Love Is Blind Habibi reunion?
During the Love Is Blind Habibi reunion, the pod squad gathered to relive their journey and answer some burning questions. Dounia and Nour had a troubled relationship since their first meeting. When they met at the reunion, Nour was candid in pointing out that Dounia lacked self-confidence and security in herself and her relationship with Chafic. She advised her by saying:
"Lalacks self-confidence and is jealous of Nour on the show, she will meet thousands of girls like Nour in real life. Instead of fighting with these girls and feeling insecure, she should build her confidence in her partner and in herself because otherwise she will be fighting the wrong battle."
This advice did not sit well with Dounia who replied that she never felt underconfident or insecure about herself or her relationship with Chafic. Dounia explained that her reaction on the show was normal and any girl would have behaved like she did.
They were referring to the incident in episode 7 of Love Is Blind Habibi, where Dounia alleged that Nour was flirting with Chafic. Dounia added that she always trusted Chafic and also pointed out that it was only Nour who was overly sweet to Chafic, otherwise she had no issues with other girls talking to Chafic.
Other Love Is Blind Habibi members also sided with Dounia and called out Nour for her "attitude." Mido, who was engaged to Nour in the pods also said that she went to the resort to meet Chafic.
Love Is Blind Habibi reunion is streaming on Netflix and Netflix MENA now.
