It was a moment that was so deliciously cringe, it should live forever inLove Is Blindhistory.
Her eyes widened, just slightly, in an expression that read: Oh.
As they embraced and Leo greedily took her in with his eyes, Brittany did nothing.

She looked like a deer in the headlights.
She looked a tad grossed out.
Yep, it seems Brittany got the ick.

Oh God, what have I done?
(For his part, Leos reaction was, Holy fuck, shes hot.)
Shes not the only one from season seven ofLove Is Blindto get the ick.

Hannah, we learn, had expected him to look…different.
In the pods, Nick described himself as an athletic former college football player, which he was.
It is making me feel a little insecure because I feel like Im bigger than him.

Hannah, unlike Brittany, persevered despite her misgivings.
But once the couple got to Mexico, Nicks goofy behavior started to rankle her.
Its gonna give me the ick, she said, deadpan.
And sure enough, she got the ick.
When Nick returned from frolicking on the ducks with a random womanwho called Hannah jealoushis fiance looked positively disgusted.
Im literally trying to keep the passion alive, Nick, she told him.
You riding a duck is hard for me.
The term really took off on TikTok and other social media platforms about a year or so ago.
But, again, its nothing new.
Thats actually a plotline in the new Netflix seriesNobody Wants This, in an episode appropriately titled The Ick.
The insistence that you cant come back from the ick is a widespread belief.
Once you get it, its just like, something you cant shake, Monica continued.
And it can happen so innocently.
But is that really the case?
The flowers were so long, and they kept falling over, Foster said.
Spoiler alert, Foster moved on from her ick, and so does Joanne.
Noah rightly calls it out as a form of self-sabotaging the relationship and essentially urges her to fight it.
Im on your side.
I can handle you, he tells her.
The ick, it seems, may just be part of life.
Im not so sure Hannah, who is 26, will be able to move past it.
It culminates in her writing an actual list about the things that annoy her about him.
An ick list, if you will.
This was because in the pods, Chelsea memorably told him that she looked like Megan Fox.
It seemed to be something moretheir mannerisms, their persona, or just their general vibe.
For women, its a little more nuanced.
