I think part of it is that it's hard for us to see them as a romantic match after seeing them as platonic friends for so long. There's something... awkward about it? Like brother and sister? Not that I don't stan - I do. Or believe they're real. I think they are. But I feel like it'll be easier to FEEL that realness when we see their relationship actually transition into something romantic and physical. Because right now there's an element that's a little like watching cousins  at the prom.

Humble brag that I met Carl and Lindsay last night at a Loverboy event. I posted a photo on my Instagram and people were saying they genuinely believe these two are strictly a PR relationship for the show.

I get it in some cases, but I think Lindsay and Carl are the REAL DEAL! End game, honestly. They are so cute in real life. And I learned that Lindsay is still sober! Four months! Her support for Carl is so adorable. I can't figure out why exactly people think they are a fake couple, other than the fact that "fake couples" do exist in the reality tv world.
