Like you, Sebastian Sachs watches everything teed up in his very gay queue, from high-brow, Emmy-winning series and films to decadently sweet reality shows. His only requirement is that whatever he devotes time to is inclusive. In “The Moment,” Sebastian deep-dives on the scene, actor, person, place or thing that fans will never get over. She is the moment. He is the moment. They are the moment. You, dear reader, are the moment.

There’s a certain type of person who gets a kick out of cheesy Etsy home accessories. Example? This goofy-looking wine tumbler etched with the phrase, “A wise woman once said fuck this shit and lived happily ever after.” Anyone who owns such a thing has an intoxicating joie de vivre I’m envious of. They’re likely middle aged, go all out for inconsequential holidays like Valentine’s Day and genuinely like Sweethearts. They’re an ally! Suburban Pride is their Super Bowl. Above all, they make those around them feel great. Wendy from Love Is Blind Season 2 is this person, the wise woman who makes me smile the second she appears on screen. I cannot confirm whether Wendy owns the aforementioned tumbler — but would she not?

The reality show returned in all its ridiculous glory with new couples bound to get memefied, plus Nick Lachey — obviously. There’s much to be said about Shake and Deepti (choices!), Shayne and Natalie (it’s a no for me), Shaina and Kyle (oh lord…), Mallory and Salvador (escandalo!), Jarrette and Iyanna (I’m nervous) plus Nick and Danielle (I’m really nervous). Yet Season 2’s pièce de résistance, the person who had me captivated, thrilled, enthralled and gagged during Episode 6, “Back to Reality,” is unequivocally Wendy, Danielle’s mother. The second she exhaled one of many high-decibel cackles (“ha ha haaa!”), I knew she was the moment. Meet the Parents could never!

Wendy’s contagious Midwestern laugh is reason enough to give this woman her own television show. Is anyone working on The Real Suburban Housewives from the Love Is Blind Universe? If not, producers can thank me for the idea later. While Nick and Danielle’s dynamic is unfortunately cringey, Wendy is oblivious to their toxic relationship traits (they frequently bicker and speak to each other demeaningly).

Rather than grill him on his dating history and intentions with her daughter (like other moms do during the couples’ home visits), Wendy welcomes her soon-to-be son-in-law with arms wide open — she immediately offers Nick a hug and tells him he’s got a kind face. She says, “I’m really good at sensing people. I was a psychology major, which could be scary.” No one asks Wendy, but Wendy will say what Wendy wants to say when she wants to say it. She’s also unafraid to be honest: “Danielle’s a very special person and I have been really wanting her to find somebody special. You seem great, I don’t know you well enough to say you’re special. I’m sorry. But I’m hoping you are. You’ve got a cute dog.”

Now, I recognize Wendy is a real person simply appearing as herself to support Danielle’s journey. But come on… her entire performance is camp. From her shaggy ’70s-style bangs and plunging V-neck floral top to the constant hootin’ and hollering, this woman is l i v i n g the can’t-be-bothered fantasy I hope to experience some day. Earnestly, and with the utmost respect, there’s something wild about Wendy that I can’t quite pin down. Perhaps it’s the brazen way she talks about sex in front of her kids or her choice to gleefully stroke and tie a very phallic-looking balloon at the family function. (Why though?)

But listen, I’d love to be this woman’s friend — categorize her as someone I can tell my deepest, darkest secrets to. Doesn’t she make ya think, “I’ll have what she’s having!”? And if we’re talking about drinks, let’s not forget to mention the bottle of (affordable) Mionetto prosecco she kicks off the party with (“Ha ha haaa! We ran out of Champagne!”), plus the oh-so-generous pours she holds for the camera. Count me in, girl.

The unsolicited advice Wendy dishes out also contributes to her lovability. Here’s a selection of the greatest Wendyisms and quotes that I’d like to frame in my living room.

On the show itself: “I got good intuition. Does that mean this is gonna work out? No. Do I hope it will? Yes. I feel that he’s genuine and I do believe that you can fall in love with somebody quickly. That’s why I love this experiment.”

On the institution of marriage: “We’re talking marriage. It’s not a joke. Huge undertaking. You’ve got to be really certain that this is something that you wanna go forward with.”

On Danielle, whom she lovingly drags: “You’re a lot — a lot to take, and that’s not a bad thing. I am too. You need to have somebody that can handle that and take it… [to Nick] She tends to jeopardize her relationships.”

On dating “nowadays”: “I’m just making sure that if things get tough, you’ll fight for it and you’ll make things work because it’s so easy to walk away nowadays — too easy, unfortunately.”

On sex: “I used to think you shouldn’t have sex until you’re married. But I did that and it was wrong because then I knew nothing else. It’s better to have sex before you’re married.”

On Nick: “I can totally see Nick fitting into this family. He’s not as social or quirky, which I think all of us are. Ha ha! But I’m not saying that in a bad way. I actually think he’s really sincere, which is huge ’cause Danielle has struggled with her looks and her weight and her insecurities. And I wanted somebody to love her for who she is and not what she looks like. And I feel with Nick she’s found it, and that’s very important ’cause they’re getting married in two weeks.”

Despite Wendy’s fantastic aura, Nick appears to feign a smile for most of his interactions with Danielle’s family. To be fair, I wouldn’t have been thrilled if my partner’s family asked me to showcase my nonexistent fishing skills at our first get-together. Still, Nick’s reaction to meeting his future wife’s loved ones was so… meh. “I’m raised Catholic. This is all very unique to talk about in real life. My family is a little more reserved. They are a little more shy, maybe a little more timid,” he said. “What’s nice about her family is [that] there’s clearly great, open communication that doesn’t have any boundaries around it.” Sounds shady.

Regardless of Nick’s real first impression, it’s Wendy who acts as the glue for all parties involved. “He caught a fish for god’s sake! Ha ha ha!” she screams, making the case that Nick’s a keeper — even after admitting he’s not quite as “quirky” as this bunch. With one final “ha ha haaa!” to wrap up her screen time, Wendy proves that in the game of Love Is Blind, the winner is always the person not taking life so seriously.
