“Love Is Blind” season 6 stars say Matthew is '100 percent' how he appears on the show

"I got four words out of him the entire time we were there. That's it."

No, it's not just the editing — Love Is Blind season 6 stars say that Matthew really is exactly how he appears on the show.

Throughout the first three episodes of the new season (now streaming on Netflix), the 37-year-old senior financial advisor made quite an impact. He put his pod dates through the wringer with his abrasive communication style, he straight-up ignored the other men in their shared living quarters despite their many attempts to befriend him, he constantly talked about how he thinks America will view him, and he told two women the exact same things, including wanting to ask their fathers for their blessing before proposing. But when AD and Amber realized he was playing them both, Amber decided to leave the pods and AD pivoted her focus to the other side of her own love triangle, Clay, who ultimately proposed to her. Meanwhile, after his final date with AD, a tearful Matthew briskly walked off the set to "go get Amber."

Season 6 cast member Trevor tells EW that in real life, Matthew is "100 percent" how he was portrayed in the episodes. Johnny agrees, adding, "I got four words out of him the entire time we were there. That's it."

"I probably got less," Clay jokes.

"He's a nice guy, but he's very quiet," Trevor adds.

"He knows who he wants to talk to and who he doesn't want to talk to," Johnny explains. "He made it very known at the beginning of day one of the pods, 'I'm here for the girls, not for you guys.' That's exactly how he kept it."

When AD told Clay during a pod date that she also had a connection with Matthew, Clay says that he "was completely flabbergasted."

"I wasn't expecting that at all, more so because me and Matt did not bond in the pods," Clay tells EW. "It was somebody that I wasn't really expecting, but I do think that that exposure really helped me navigate through the whole process. It was an opportunity for me to say, 'The things that I've been doing in the past, now it's not working, and I need to do something different.'"

AD was, of course, separated from all the men during the pod portion of filming, so she had no idea how they felt about Matthew. But she did hear the other women talking about their dates with him and the way he acted towards them.

"Everyone's opinion on Matthew, it went in one ear and out the other," she tells EW. "I really could not care less about what people thought about him because I was there to form my own connections and my own bonds and we did that organically and authentically. They could have told me he looked like a frog and I would've been like, 'Okay, and? That's my frog.' I didn't care."

Clay did care, however, when he first learned that Matthew was the other point of his love triangle with AD. "At that moment, it definitely changed my opinion about AD, more so from an egotistical perspective of, 'How could you like another guy?'" he says. "You lose the show dynamic of that you're competing for these women on the other side. When I professed my love to AD, I almost thought in my head, that was it, so when she brought up the fact that, 'I am talking to another guy,' it was just hurtful for me and I think it brought up some insecurities for me that I never really discovered [until then]."
