One of the six couples hoping to make their way down the aisle are Kyle and Shaina.
During anexclusive interview with The List, Shaina candidly discussed her complicated emotions on the show.
This allows the contestants to get to know one another on a purely emotional level.
For Shaina Hurley, navigating the situation without her family was difficult.
I didn’t have my friends back home.
I kind of felt a little bit lost and blind in the situation … love is blind!"
She added, “It was hard because you’re going back and forth in your own head.
And it also makes you realize how much influence there is out in the world.
What would happen if there wasn’t that much influence in who you’re dating?
It was rough, though.
It was hard because, again, you’re making these big time decisions.”
Ultimately, though, she learned to lean on her fellow female contestants for support.
“But everybody was so supportive.
Everyone was great,” Hurley said.
She gets caught up in two love triangles between herself, Shayne, Natalie, and Kyle.
Ultimately, Shayne proposes to Natalie, and Kyle proposes to Shaina.
Shaina accepts Kyle’s proposal, but not without hesitation.
Speaking with The List, Hurley said, “I don’t want to be second best either.
So, obviously, I’m repressing my true feelings [for Shayne].
And not that Kyle was … it wasn’t like that at all.
It was just … all of it kind of all happened organically, if that makes sense.
She added, “I struggled with this my whole life.
And so, it was a process on the show.
I definitely was a different person when I first started to when I ended everything.”
As for the biggest lesson Hurley learned on the show, “Be more forthright.
Be more true to yourself.
Don’t be afraid to hurt people’s feelings.
You want to be thoughtful, but I wish I was more forthright from the beginning.”
Love Is Blind Season 2 is now available to stream on Netflix.
