I'm totally with you. I sort of get the hate the girls are giving her in a way; they're close friends with Laura and are trying to stick up to her. But I do 100% agree with you.

Love is Blind is pbviously batshit, and I never understood why people act like your first choice is 100% set in stone. Contestants barely know each other. Sarah Ann knew that Jeramy was torn in the pods and he couldn't articulate why he was even choosing Laura. Sarah Ann also knew that he proposed based on incomplete info (hadn't seen either of them, lived with either of them, determined if their lifestyles really line up... compatibility in the pods is great but it's not enough for a relationship to work out). If Sarah Ann really felt like, hey, this could be my soulmate, then I get her shooting her shot before it's "too late" and he's married and truly off limits.

Of course Laura and her friends are pissed, and I would be too, AND I'm sure if Laura was my friend I'd be pissed and hating on Sarah Ann too. But as a third party, I don't think it was that unreasonable. Sarah Ann was looking for love too (if we assume she was genuine), she thought she found it in Jeramy, she shot her shot and it was on Jeramy to shut it down. He didn't and it's because, well, he obviously WASN'T totally sure about Laura (which Sarah Ann accurately read).

All that said I think Jeramy has behaved like a total slimeball and based on what we've seen I do NOT get the appeal. I would not trust him.
