'Love Is Blind' star Sara Carton rejects Ben Mezzenga at the altar over views on religion, Black Lives Matter

Yahoo09-03-2025
"Love is Blind" stars Sara Carton and Ben Mezzenga did not get married during the season finale of the show, as Carton had reservations about Mezzenga's religious and political viewpoints, including Black Lives Matter.
"I asked him about Black Lives Matter," Carton told her family in the car, after rejecting Mezzenga. "And I'm no expert, but when I asked him about it, he's like, 'I guess I never really thought too much about it.' That affected me. Especially in our own city, like how could it not? How could it not make you think about something?"
In Netflix's "Love is Blind," the men and women attempt to find their forever partner without ever seeing them. When the singles feel a strong connection, they propose and meet the other person for the first time face-to-face. Once a pair is engaged, they plan their wedding day while navigating the rocky waters of the outside world.
At the altar, Carton said, "I love you so much, but I've always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength."

Carton explained that she also asked Mezzenga about his church and the church's views.
"And he said he didn't know, and so then I watched a sermon online, about sexual identity, and it was traditional. I told that to Ben, and he didn't really have much to say about it," she said. "I want someone to think about that stuff."
Earlier in the season, Mezzenga told Carton that he had "no discomfort around that community at all," after Carton revealed that her sister is gay and that she was no longer religious because of the Catholic Church's viewpoints on gay marriage, according to Today.

Carton revealed during her conversations with Mezzenga that she didn't become interested in politics until President Donald Trump came into office and the killing of George Floyd in 2020, according to reports.
"I'm kind of ignorant towards that stuff. Like, I didn't vote in the last election. As long as I don't know, it's not gonna, you know, do much," Mezzenga reacted. "I've kind of just been staying out of it."
Mezzenga and Carton were not the only couple that differed politically.
Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley also had conversations about their politics, despite Buckley telling Miller that he wasn't "super big into politics," according to Today.
Miller told Buckley that she was open to different political views, but said it would be alarming if Buckley was "way on the other side of the spectrum" on certain issues.Original article source: 'Love Is Blind' star Sara Carton rejects Ben Mezzenga at the altar over views on religion, Black Lives Matter

Joe Burrow Does Not Hide His Unusual Obsession on Netflix's 'Quarterback 2'

Joe Burrow Does Not Hide His Unusual Obsession on Netflix's 'Quarterback 2' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In the second season of Netflix's "Quarterback" docuseries, the cameras follow Atlanta's Kirk Cousins, who appeared in the show's first season, as well as Detroit's Jared Goff and Cincinnati's Joe Burrow. Advertisement Burrow, who grew up in Ohio, was featured in a clip shared to Netflix Sports' X account to promote the release of the new season, which covers the trio of signal-callers during the 2024 NFL season. In October, Burrow was at a practice chatting with a Bengals' staff member and teammates about a recent museum visit. "Somehow, there's this one fossil that proved Darwin's theory of evolution," he said. "It's called the Archaeopteryx. There's like 12 of them in the world. We got to see one of those, and we got to see the little old lady that freaking works on it. Grinding." Burrow visited the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois, one of the largest museums. One permanent exhibition there is Sue, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, who measures 40.5 feet long and 13 feet tall at the hips. The fossil is estimated to be 67 million years old. Advertisement "We went to the natural history museum," Burrow continued. "They took us behind the scenes and showed us some really cool stuff. It's like a library of fossils that they don't show everybody else ... It was pretty sick. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images "Why were fossils on my mind?" Burrow wondered aloud. I don't know, cause they're cool. When aren't fossils on your mind? They go back millions of years. That's sick." The docuseries "Quarterback 2" is now available to stream on Netflix.

Can I not have a beer the night before?'

This Month, ‘Dan Da Dan' Makes the Jump to Toonami

Good news for fans of the Dan Da Dan anime: it's coming to Toonami. The hit shonen romcom will air the dubbed version of its first season on Saturday, July 26 at 12:30 AM ET, just after Dragon Ball Daima. That's good news for those who missed that season last year or want to further support the show, which is just a handful of episodes into season two. At time of writing, there's no word on whether Toonami will also air season one's subbed version; it's currently airing the Lazarus sub and previously done the same for the Rick & Morty anime and Uzumaki. LINEUP UPDATE: Via the official #Toonami Facebook page #DanDaDan will be coming to the block July 26th at 12:30am! — Toonami Squad (@ToonamiSquad) July 11, 2025In addition to that, Shonen Jump has made chapters 33-40 of the Dan Da Dan manga free for a limited time, which make up half of the 'Cursed House' arc adapted for the early episodes of season two. If you want to read in sync with the show, chapters 33 and 34 are equivalent to episode 12 of the anime, and the recently aired episode 14 equals chapters 38-40, and chapter 41. A short freebie run, but it helps anime fans get on board with the source material. For everyone else, Dan Da Dan's second season will keep airing new episodes (subbed and dubbed) Thursdays on Netflix and Crunchyroll through mid-September. Want more io9 news?
