Despite proposing to Zanab Jaffrey on Love Is Blind, Cole Barnett later admitted that he thought fellow contestant Colleen Reed was more attractive — to his fiancée’s face.“I mean, it’s really hard just remembering everything,” Cole, 27, exclusively told Us Weekly of watching back his Netflix experience. “Everything that just feels out of character for me and that I’m, like, ‘I didn’t feel that way.

I don’t know why it came across that way.’ I mean, the rating women thing was really ridiculous to watch. I thought that was very disgusting to even be rating people.

Like, that’s just ridiculous.”After leaving the pods, the real estate agent told the 31-year-old London native that he found the 26-year-old ballet dancer to be a “10 out of 10.” In comparison, he thought Zanab was a “9 out of 10,” which ultimately made the flight attendant feel insecure.Cole doubled down on his stance when he told Colleen that he thought she was very attractive and the type of girl he’d pursue in “the real world.” The PR strategist, for her part, rebuffed his advances and remained focused on her engagement to Matt Bolton.

Matt, 27, however, was upset about the news, commiserating with Zanab about their similar situations.After Zanab confronted her then-beau, Cole was ultimately upset that it seemed like his fiancée was “Team Matt” instead of being on his side, proposing that the foursome should “swap fiancées.” Despite their heated arguments, both pairs were able to get their respective relationships back on track ahead of the finale.
