“Love Is Blind” ended this month with a whimper as none of the couples said “I do” for the first time on Netflix’s popular reality dating series. The reunion airs on Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET.
In its ninth installment, two engaged couples made it to the altar and both brides-to-be, Ali and Kalybriah, said no to their partners, Anton and Edmond. The third couple who made it to the finale, Megan and Jordan, ended their engagement just before the wedding. Fans have lambasted the season online.
Chris Coelen, creator of “Love Is Blind,” is not deterred by the backlash to this season.
“That’s exactly how the experiment is supposed to work, so I would say not only is the experiment working, I think it’s working better than ever,” Coelen told Tudum. Season 10 was confirmed by Netflix in January.
This season was marked with a ton of drama: several cast members ghosted the process during the pods, a couple contestants had a lot of angst about their Asian identity, a drunken night on the post-engagement trip almost ended a relationship and yes, one dater had pod sex, essentially, with herself and then pretty much immediately broke off her engagement after meeting her husband-to-be.
