“Love Is Blind” viewers are roasting contestant Chelsea Blackwell.
During the new sixth season of the hit Netflix dating show – in which singles are supposed to form connections based on emotions, not looks – the reality star claimed she often gets told she resembles Hollywood bombshell Megan Fox.
It all went down during a casual conversation with love interest Jimmy Presnell in the pods, as the two randomly got on the topic of celebrity doppelgängers.
“Do you ever get told you look like a celebrity?” Blackwell asked, to which Presnell responded, “Yeah, I do.”
Blackwell, a flight attendant and event planner, then shared with software salesman Presnell that passengers on her flights tell her “all the time” that she looks like “one person.”

“It’s just because I have dark hair and blue eyes. But I don’t see it, so don’t get excited,” she clarified.
“It’s uh – I don’t even know if it’s MGK’s [Machine Gun Kelly’s] wife or his girlfriend,” she went on, implying her look-alike was Fox, 37.
“Megan Fox? You’re saying you look like Megan Fox?” Presnell asked, as a huge smile appeared on his face.
Blackwell reiterated, “It’s just because I have light eyes and dark hair. That’s the only reason. There’s nothing else … at least, I’m assuming so.”
A visibly excited Presnell, who was separated from his fellow contestant by a wall, then replied, “I mean … can we get married?”
Blackwell and Presnell eventually committed to each other and got engaged in the pods, sight unseen, after calling it off with their other respective pod prospects, Trevor Sova and Jessica Vestal.
However, when the two later met face-to-face for the first time during their big engagement reveal, viewers couldn’t get over Presnell’s reaction. Many on social media argued that he seemed bothered by the fact that Blackwell looked “nothing” like Fox.
“She definitely lied to me about some, uh, how she looked,” Presnell admitted in a confessional. “Chelsea told me she looked like Megan Fox. At the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter. I am very attracted to her. I can work with that.”
When Blackwell asked Presnell if her appearance was what he expected, her new fiancé responded, “Um, you told me a thousand things.”
Several viewers continued to sound off on Blackwell’s assessment of her looks via social media, writing things like, “When she said Megan fox I GASPED,” “more like Megan Faux” and “Love Is Blind and apparently so is she.”
Another viewer commented, “I swear his deciding factor was that she looked like Megan Fox
