While Jessica Batten didn't marry Mark Cuevas on Love Is Blind, she has become an incredibly popular reality star and her season of the Netflix show has been discussed quite a lot. From the beginning, Jessica had feelings for Matt Barnett, which became an issue when he fell hard for Amber Pike.
Looking back on Jessica's episodes of Love Is Blind, it's clear that she made many mistakes and had quite a few embarrassing moments. From the iconic Jessica scene that became a meme to the many times that she brought up how young Mark was, this cast member was always memorable.
10 Saying Yes To Mark's Proposal
While debating Mark and Jessica's relationship on Love Is Blind, fans could tell that when she accepted his proposal in the pods, her heart was not completely invested in it. Up until that point, Jessica had thought that Barnett was going to ask her to marry him and she seemed much more excited about that.
When viewers think about Jessica's worst behavior on the reality show, it definitely seems like it was a bad idea for Jessica to say yes. She didn't seem to have the strongest feelings for Mark that she could have, and if she walked away at that point, maybe a lot of drama would have been avoided.
9 Asking Barnett If He Was Certain About Amber
The trouble between Amber, Barnett, and Jessica lasted for all of season 1. While Amber and Barnett fell in love fast and furiously, Jessica still seemed to be thinking about the one that got away.
Later on in the season, the cast got back together for a party, and Jessica asked Barnett if he was totally certain that he should be with Amber. This created major drama as Amber confronted Jessica at the reunion, explaining that Jessica should have minded her own business. Many fans likely take Amber's side here as it was hurtful for Jessica to question Barnett's true feelings.
8 Bringing Up Her Age Difference With Mark Many Times
Before too long, fans realized that Jessica was preoccupied with the ten year age gap between her and Mark. He was 24 and she was 34 while they were filming season 1 and she brought it up many times.
While Mark didn't think that the age difference was an issue for a single second, Jessica seemed to mention it in almost every scene, making fans wonder if she even liked Mark at all or if there was another, bigger reason why she was so unsure about him. Now that fans have watched the Netflix special After The Altar and have learned more about Mark dating other people while filming season 1, that information has added more layers to the story.
7 Giving Her Dog Wine
There are many funny Love Is Blind memes, including when Jessica gave her dog wine. It was no wonder that people were unable to forget about it, and it was definitely odd.
This is still one of the most dramatic and impactful moments from season 1, as viewers wondered what reason Jessica would have to do this. This didn't seem healthy or smart, and it didn't make any sense. Of all the mistakes that Jessica made on this popular reality show, this one just might stand out the most.
6 Saying Mark Didn't Want Children Yet
As Jessica and Mark got to know each other better, she was very forceful about his age, and after seeing his apartment and meeting his friends, she said that she could tell he wasn't in the right place to start a family yet.
Mark didn't agree and said multiple times that he wanted to be a father. Fans know that Mark is a new parent engaged to the mother of his child, so it does seem like Jessica was wrong about Mark's dreams and plans for the future. It's hard for viewers to forget how tough Jessica acted when speaking to Mark in the time span after the pods and before the wedding.
5 Judging Amber And Barnett
When thinking about whether Love Is Blind's Amber and Barnett should stay together, fans knew that Barnett was interested in Jessica but he decided that he wanted to try a relationship with Amber. This was so devastating for Jessica that she talked about Amber and Barnett a few times later on in the season.
Jessica seemed to judge this couple, suggesting that they felt lust for each other but maybe that was it. While Jessica was sad about missing out on a chance to see if things could work with Barnett, the classy thing to do would be to forget about him and focus on her own life and relationship.
4 Telling Barnett They Would Always Be Bonded
After drinking a bit too much at the party, Jessica told Barnett "Nothing will ever break the bond we made" and she said "I adore you" and hugged him.
While she was trying to be nice and speak from the heart, it's easy for fans to think that Jessica crossed a line here and should have walked away without saying anything. Jessica knew that Amber was uncomfortable with her talking to Barnett about the chemistry that they once had, and Jessica could have realized that she was making things a lot worse.
3 Telling Amber How Much She Loved Mark
At the same party, Jessica talked to Amber and said, "I'm in love with my fiance... and I know you and him have a very serious friendship... He is the most amazing person I've ever met in my whole life."
This is another mistake that is tough for Jessica to live down as she and Amber never got along. It didn't make much sense for her to talk about her love for Mark here, as Amber would have preferred to keep things light, polite, and free of tension.
2 Leaving Mark At The Altar
The season 1 Love Is Blind reunion gave fans many juicy details about the couples, but before that episode was available for streaming, the wild season 1 finale let everyone see who got married and who didn't.
Fans questioned Jessica's choice to leave Mark at the altar. If she knew that she didn't want to commit to him in this way, why not break up earlier on? Fans could always tell that Jessica wasn't as interested in Mark as he was in her, and it seemed like she could have been real, raw, and honest much earlier on.
1 Giving Barnett An Anniversary Gift
While fans who watched the After The Altar special could tell that Jessica had grown a lot, it was awkward when she walked up to Barnett and gave him an anniversary gift. Barnett said that he wasn't able to talk to her, and while many viewers questioned why he was being kind of rude, fans know that Amber has a big problem with Jessica.
If Jessica wanted to keep the evening drama-free, perhaps she could have forgotten the gift entirely. Barnett and Amber wouldn't have been offended, and everyone could move on in peace.
