Netflix<\/a> is back with yet another season of its hit reality TV series \u201cLove Is Blind.\u201d This time, Nick and Vanessa Lachey head to Ohio \u2014 there are cast members who live in Columbus and Cincinnati and other cities in the Buckeye State \u2014 to help couples get to the altar and say \u201cI do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Six new episodes premiered on Wednesday on the streamer, and seven couples head to their post-engagement trip; it is the most couples that \u201cLove Is Blind\u201d has featured in one season. The first four episodes are dedicated to the pods, where the contestants talk about their values and their hopes for the future. In the middle of Episode 5, they take off for the trips \u2014 six couples head to Cabo, and one couple heads to Malibu, California.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For what it\u2019s worth, the season starts off pretty dry. So if you\u2019re a viewer who is waiting for the sparks \u2014 and drama \u2014 to fly, perhaps you\u2019re better off reading our recap of what\u2019s happened so far. Meet the couples below, and see where we stand on whether their love will sustain them all the way to the altar. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We\u2019ll also share our unfiltered thoughts on one love triangle that was a complete waste of our time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Christine & Vic<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Dr.<\/picture><\/div>\n

\n

Their connection:<\/strong> Vic and Christine, who got engaged in the first episode, seemed to connect over similar upbringings. They also spent a lot of time talking about their faith. Apparently, they both had misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana expunged from their records. They are different races \u2014 Vic is Black; Christine is white \u2014 and a question does come up later in the season about how Vic feels about Christine being a white woman and the potential mother of their kids.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Any other anecdotes? <\/strong>Interestingly, they are the only couple that did not go to Cabo on their post-engagement trip. They went to Malibu instead. \u201cLove Is Blind\u2019 creator Chris Coelen told <\/span>Entertainment Weekly<\/span><\/a> that the team simply didn\u2019t have the budget to send seven couples on a trip to Mexico. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prediction: <\/strong>Vic and Christine seem to be the most connected of the new couples so far. If I had to predict now, I\u2019d say they\u2019ll make it to the altar and say I do. It\u2019s obviously very early, but they seem to be approaching the experiment with real intentions of finding love. \u2014 <\/span>Erin<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Amber & Jordan<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Jordan<\/picture><\/div>\n

\n

Their connection: <\/strong>Jordan and Amber just seemed to have an easy rapport. He didn\u2019t flinch when she revealed that she had a 7-year-old daughter, even though he\u2019d previously told the production team that it would be a dealbreaker if a woman had a kid. They both have a self-described weirdness that seems to really work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Any other anecdotes? <\/strong>Honestly, Amber talked a lot in the pods, but I don\u2019t remember anything deep about Jordan, who seemed to ask more questions that divulge things about himself, other than the fact that he loves to cook.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prediction:<\/strong> In the preview clip of the following episodes, it looks like Jordan gets pretty fed up over something and rips his mic off. I\u2019m wondering if he\u2019s not exactly ready to step into a family situation since Amber has a kid. So my guess is that they don\u2019t end up married. \u2014 Erin<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ashley & Alex<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Alex<\/picture><\/div>\n

\n

Their connection:<\/strong> Ashley and Alex have a very off-putting relationship, more so on the latter\u2019s part. Their first conversation in the pods started with Alex trying to get a sense of what Ashley looked like \u2014 already a red flag that undermines the basis of this experiment. He admitted that focusing on physical looks has been an issue for him in the past, but it doesn\u2019t seem like he\u2019s trying to change his ways here. Ashley doesn\u2019t seem like she\u2019s trying to reform her quest for a life partner either, admitting that she has a notoriously \u201cbad picker\u201d when it comes to men. According to her, she and Alex had fun conversations on their dates together, but from what we see, they seem very surface-level. Nothing feels like it warrants an engagement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Any other anecdotes?<\/strong> On their final pod date, Alex shares that he and Ashley connected over the book \u201cThe Alchemist,\u201d comparing the plot of this young boy\u2019s journey away from home in search of treasure and himself to their connection. He uses this as a segue into his proposal, which feels a little too calculated to actually seem genuine, and probably a hint that he\u2019ll soon reveal his true colors once they return to the real world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ashley and Alex also talked about sex a lot<\/em> on their pod dates, which seems like another huge red flag and probably why I don\u2019t feel an ounce of romance between these two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Considering what I\u2019ve already seen in future episodes (no spoilers here), I\u2019m going to bet these two don\u2019t say \u201cI do\u201d at the altar, if they even make it there. Something about Alex just rubs me the wrong way, and these two don\u2019t seem like they had any real conversations about what they want out of a marriage with each other. Right now, the chances of these two staying together are looking very slim. \u2014 Njera<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jessica & Chris<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Chris<\/picture><\/div>\n

\n

Their connection: <\/strong>Chris and Jessica are one of the couples from this season that seemed to have very little time on screen during the pods episodes \u2014 or at least, they didn\u2019t leave any big impressions on me. He proposed to her in Episode 4, but they were introduced in Episode 1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Any other anecdotes? <\/strong>Chris also had a connection with Bri, who ends up with Connor. Jessica was married once before, but is looking for a real partnership this time around. One last thing: Jessica says she has \u201cstrong political values\u201d at one point, and I\u2019m very curious about what that means for her. There wasn\u2019t much talk about politics in this season, and I\u2019m sure there\u2019ll be a lot of chatter and sleuthing about the cast\u2019s morals and values from TikTokers who dig into their personal lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prediction:<\/strong> It looks like there\u2019s gonna be some drama with Chris and Bri later this season. So I\u2019m guessing Chris and Jessica do not get married. \u2014 Erin<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Bri & Connor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Connor<\/picture><\/div>\n

\n

Their connection:<\/strong> Bri and Connor\u2019s pod connection honestly wasn\u2019t too memorable for me, aside from them bonding over Bri going to school at the University of Michigan and having catchy nicknames (\u201cBreezy and Spies\u201d). But, obviously, there was a strong enough spark that made Connor break things off with his other connection, Emma. He and Bri got along great in the pods, but things started going south on the couple\u2019s trip when Bri seemed more interested in reuniting with her old pod connections, namely Chris. That seemed to bring out the jealous side of Connor, so it\u2019ll be interesting to see how their relationship progresses from here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Any other anecdotes? <\/strong>I thought it was a bit odd that Bri was so hung up on the first meet-up with all the other guys from the pods. Her reasoning was that they all just went through a very unique experience, and thought the guys would be more enthusiastic about meeting her IRL, which, sure, I get. But she didn\u2019t do much to reassure Connor that she wasn\u2019t trying to rekindle old connections. I wonder if that\u2019ll end up being a problem again later in the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prediction: <\/strong>It looks like there may be a messy love triangle between Bri, Chris and Connor this season, so I\u2019m not too confident in these two tying the knot. \u2014 Njera<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Brittany & Devonta<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Devonta<\/picture><\/div>\n

\n

Their connection:<\/strong> I didn\u2019t know what to think of Devonta and Brittany at first. We don\u2019t see their first pod date until Episode 3, but off the rip, they felt like opposites that wouldn\u2019t attract. Brittany is super bubbly and vibrant, but Devonta comes off more quiet and laid-back. That may be because the latter\u2019s grandfather passed away during filming, which is why I was shocked he even chose to stay. I do feel like that loss had a big impact on his emotional state, so it probably would\u2019ve been better had he gone home instead of not being fully present to nourish his connection with Brittany. The fact that he still chose to propose was equally shocking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Any other anecdotes? <\/strong>After Devonta and Brittany finally met in person, he mentioned that he had no idea she\u2019d be a woman of color. He also said he\u2019s never dated a woman of color, which is\u2026 interesting. Brittany also seemed a little put off once she saw Devonta for the first time. \u201cLove Is Blind\u201d is supposed to eliminate the physical part of dating, but this may end up being a hurdle for these two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prediction:<\/strong> The stark differences between Brittany and Devonta might be what keeps them apart. However, Devonta acting so distant on the couple\u2019s trip is already a red flag that they might not make it to the end of the season. My guess is they don\u2019t. \u2014 Njera<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Emma & Mike<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Emma<\/picture><\/div>\n
Emma Betsinger and Mike Gibney in “Love Is Blind.”<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n
\n

Their connection:<\/strong> Mike and Emma seemed like they had an easy-going connection right off the bat. Emma, particularly, seemed like she was much more comfortable opening up on her dates with Mike than those she had with Connor and goofball Steven, especially when it came to sensitive topics like her fear of having children as someone who\u2019s adopted. Mike said he had Emma high on his list from the beginning and felt very sincere whenever they spoke. Out of all the couples, these two are among the few who actually took the time to have tough conversations about marriage and their futures together. Between the other connections they had, I\u2019m not mad at these two getting together.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Any other anecdotes?<\/strong> One thing that stuck out with Emma is how intentional she was about finding the right match for her in the pods. She had a strong connection with Connor at one point, even though she said it reminded her of a past \u201cmediocre\u201d relationship. She also had a thing with Steven, but considering how opposite their personalities are \u2014 I still cringe over that one disaster date they had in Episode 1 \u2014 I figured they weren\u2019t endgame. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Prediction:<\/strong> It still feels too early to say, but I think Mike and Emma have a shot at actually making it to the altar. There\u2019s still a question of whether their families will mesh and understand the relationship they built in the pods, so they might be in for quite the journey. \u2014 Njera <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Love Triangle: Tyler, Kevan And Keya<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n
\"Tyler<\/picture><\/div>\n

\n

Whew, where to begin with this love triangle? I had a feeling neither of these pairings with Kevan would make it out of the pods, simply because he just doesn\u2019t feel like a great fit for \u201cLove Is Blind\u201d \u2014 or any dating show, for that matter. He seemed extremely unsure about both his connections with Keya and Tyler throughout the pod dates, and his actions didn\u2019t match his words. He started off Episode 1 saying he could see Keya as a best friend, but hearing Tyler\u2019s voice made him feel giddy. Of course, things shifted the more he got to know them, but I never got the sense that he was going to propose to either woman in the end. Nothing about him screamed husband material, which is why I couldn\u2019t understand Tyler or Keya being so drawn to him. Both of them seem like confident, self-assured women who knew exactly what they were looking for in this experiment, and Kevan is quite literally the opposite. In a romantic sense, Kevan\u2019s reserved personality seemed like it would definitely clash with Tyler\u2019s assertiveness, and he and Keya seemed too alike to really complement each other as a couple.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I kept trying to imagine what an engagement with either pair would look like in the real world, but it just never felt like a true match. The fact that Kevan kept sending these women mixed signals \u2014 asking Tyler to be his girlfriend right after giving Keya a very sentimental gift \u2014 is all the more proof that he wasn\u2019t going to be able to make a final decision had they all remained in the pods til the very end.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I\u2019m happy Tyler made the choice to finally leave (a second time) because she knew she would never get the all-in kind of love and conviction she was looking for from Kevan. Same for Keya, although I\u2019m kinda annoyed she went through the whole pod phase knowing Kevan probably wasn\u2019t her perfect match either. She made a great point, though, during their breakup, telling Kevan he flat-out isn\u2019t ready to be anybody\u2019s husband right now. He had a much better reaction to hearing that than I anticipated, so at least he\u2019s mature enough to recognize he does still have some work to do on himself. This love triangle could\u2019ve gotten way messier if Kevan was trying to be a player and keep his best option around, but he just seems like a nice guy who got his feelings caught up in this very wacky experiment. \u2014 Njera<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
