The October 30, 2024, Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion brought forward multiple accusations against contestant Nick Dorka. Hannah Jiles confronted Nick about calling her a "grenade" and rating her as "5 out of 10" during their Mexico trip. Cast member Marissa George confirmed hearing these remarks in Mexico but waited to inform Hannah.

The reunion also revealed Nick's personal notes containing "90-day goals" to become the show's most famous cast member, which Hannah discovered in his apartment after their breakup. When questioned, Nick denied using the term "grenade" but admitted feeling "underwhelmed" upon meeting Hannah.

Multiple Love is Blind Season 7 cast members including Ramses Prashad and Stephen Parker backed Hannah's claims, while Garrett Josemans defended Nick. The confrontation led to revelations about group discussions during their bus ride to Mexico and private conversations between couples that occurred off-camera.


Love Is Blind cast exposes Nick's 'Grenade' comment during Season 7 Reunion

During the Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, Hannah directly challenged Nick about comments that had circulated among cast members. She pointed to specific remarks about her looks, including the "grenade" comment and a numerical rating system.

Another Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion contestant Marissa George stepped forward as the primary source, explaining she first heard these comments while filming in Mexico but chose to withhold them temporarily. In an interview with US Weekly Magazine, she revealed,

“[Marissa] was the one who told me about the grenade comment and the rating thing…She had known in Mexico, but kept it from me for a while because she didn’t wanna hurt my feelings, which I totally understand… At first, [I thought], ‘Why did you tell me sooner?’ She was like, ‘I don’t wanna hurt your feelings,’ which is valid.”

Hannah wasn’t surprised as she stated:

“I feel like the grenade thing would be only something that Nick would say…He would make comments off camera where I kind of knew [that] we weren’t s*xually compatible — like, it just wasn’t working. And so when I heard that, I wasn’t surprised but I think it just pissed me off because I was so honest about his looks.”

The confrontation grew more intense as other Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion cast members joined the discussion. When initially questioned, Nick attempted to deny making the specific comments. However, as more details emerged and cast members pressed him, he shifted his stance and admitted to expressing feeling "underwhelmed" after meeting Hannah in person.

The admission came after several minutes of back-and-forth exchanges, with multiple cast members recounting versions of his original statements.


Behind-the-scenes revelations

The Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion brought forward previously hidden conversations from the cast's trip to Mexico. Nick confirmed he wasn’t the only one discussing appearances. He shared details about private conversations on their way to Mexico.

“On the way to Mexico, when we were sitting on the bus, we all talked about the women’s looks, and somehow I got thrown under the bus. I never called Hannah a grenade. I said I was a little underwhelmed, but we all were, right? It was a very stressful time.”

During this portion of the Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion, Garrett Josemans spoke up in Nick's defense, suggesting the comments needed context. He addressed the group dynamic during their time in Mexico, describing how the men often had private conversations about their transitions from pod dating to in-person relationships.

The discussion revealed a pattern of information sharing between Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion couples that ultimately led to the public airing of private comments.


The Love Is Blind Season 7 Reunion concluded with revelations about the communication breakdown between Hannah and Nick. Following their initial split, they attempted one final private meeting at Hannah's invitation. This meeting confirmed their incompatibility, leading to Hannah blocking Nick's contact after learning about additional comments he allegedly made about her to other cast members.
