Love may be blind, but that doesn’t mean your romantic partner’s eating habits won’t ever disgust you.
Megan Walerius, a star of “Love Is Blind” Season 9 found that out firsthand when she agreed to try her fiancé Jordan Keltner’s signature smoothie in a Season 9 episode of “Love Is Blind.”
The couple got engaged sight unseen while chatting in the “Love Is Blind” dating pods then moved in together after meeting in person for the first time. In Episode 9, Jordan prepped a chicken smoothie for his bride-to-be.
The comedic scene began with the duo standing in the kitchen. Jordan pulled out a bag of chicken and smelled it, saying, “Good stuff.” He then noted that the smoothie includes eight ounces of chicken.
“And how do you cook that chicken?” Megan asked.
“It’s not cooked at all. Just kidding. I just bake it,” he said.
Jordan proceeded to fill up a container with water and poured in a packet of Crystal Light drink mix. As she watched, Megan made some nervous sounds as she anticipated tasting the unique creation. Jordan then blended everything together in a NutriBullet.
When Jordan took the cover off the concoction, Megan exclaimed, “Oh, I can smell it!” and fanned her hands in the air.
“Smells like chicken. Who cares?” her fiancé replied.
Before drinking, Megan smelled the contents of her glass and made a barfing noise.
“So then we go, ‘Cheers!’ and then you just chug it,” Jordan instructed his fiancée.
After taking a sip, Megan spat slightly and said, “No, uh-uh.” She put her glass down and waved her hand in the air again.
Jordan tried to stay strong and finish his drink, but leaned over the sink and pounded his fist on the countertop.
“That is so f—— gross,” she said about the smoothie. “Oh my God, the texture.”
“It’s like a little gritty sometimes for sure,” Jordan replied as he continued to down the drink.
While drinking, Jordan developed a chicken-smoothie mustache.
“The mustache, I can’t,” she said and they both laughed.
Megan then gave the drink her final verdict, saying, “Eww, I could do without ever seeing this again in my life.”
“That’s OK, you just have to see it every morning for the next 50, 60, 70, potentially 80 years,” Jordan said, then proceeded to describe the calories of the drink (350) and its protein contents (55 grams).
Jordan then encouraged Megan to feel his muscles, saying, “Feel it. Feel it. See?”
Megan reminded him that he could get the same protein intake from eating six eggs.
“But this is way quicker than making six eggs,” he argued.
“Eww,” she said.
In a later episode, Megan met Jordan’s parents and brought up the smoothie moment.
“It’s been funny. I’m like a foodie and Jordan (makes) chicken smoothies,” she said.
His mother looked surprised then asked, “Are you still doing those?”
Jordan replied with one word: “Allegedly.”
Social media users had a lot to say about the viral moment when Netflix posted it on Instagram.
“This is disturbing on every level! Just eat the damn chicken or make a protein shake,” one commented.
One Instagram user called the moment “the worst thing I’ve ever seen on television” while another said they’d “walk out of the experiment right then and there.”
Reddit users were also quite opinionated on the matter.
“You know what, i’m fine with Jordan for the most part — he is probably my favorite of the guys this season even tho that isnt saying much — but a baked chicken and crystal light smoothie every morning???” one Reddit user commented.
Another called it “unforgivable.”
“I was drinking a smoothie while I watched this too!! I was not okay,” one commented.
