Arguably the messiest season of Netflix’s Love is Blind came to an end on Sunday with its reunion special, bringing key cast members back together for the first time since filming the show to address their storylines and air their grievances. Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, viewers learn that Lydia and Milton are the only couple who not only got married at the altar but who stayed together after filming Season Five. Izzy and Stacy, who have remained friends, also joined to discuss how their relationship dissolved after the show ended.

Netflix streamed its Love is Blind reunion special on Sunday night and most of Season Five’s cast members reunited to hash out their drama. Lydia and Milton, this season’s only married couple, are still together and caught viewers up on what they’ve been up to for the last year or so. They also addressed the fallout surrounding Lydia’s situation with Uche and Aaliyah, since Lydia knew Uche outside of filming the show and developed her own friendship with Aaliyah at the time. Jp and Taylor also...

But what we’re really waiting for is the season 5 reunion, when the Houston cast comes together to rehash all of this season’s juicy drama.

Long before Charles Foster Kane ever uttered the word “Rosebud,” people were spending huge amounts of time, effort, and, of course, money trying to track down beloved items from their childhood. There’s something almost indescribably warm about old toys and possessions long gone. We infuse these things with memories of a time when life seemed dreamlike and full of potential—far removed from the soul-crushing responsibilities of adulthood that drain the spark of wonder from our eyes as we slog meaninglessly toward oblivion.
But hey, cheer up because whatever “that thing” from your own past that you’ve convinced yourself is the missing link between you and happiness is merely a click away. One of the good things about adulthood? Some folks are fortunate enough to have in their possession those two oh-so-magical words: disposable income.

After the disastrous attempt at a live Love Is Blind Season 4 reunion, Netflix is opting for a standard pre-taped reunion for Season 5. The Love Is Blind Season 5 reunion will debut this Sunday, October 15, at 8/7c on Netflix. The platform pokes fun at its Season 4 technical difficulties in its announcement, saying, “It’s not live, but it’s unmissable!” Love Is Blind Season 5 has featured a series first. Never before have two exes ended up in the pods together, but that became a reality with Uche and Lydia before she got engaged to Milton. Uche and Aaliyah nearly got engaged, but Lydia shared too much information about her ex to her new friend, ruining the experiment for Aaliyah and prompting her to leave without telling Uche. When she tried to reconnect outside of the pods in Episode 7, Uche said it was over between them. They’re not the only couple to split this season.

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for Love Is Blind Season 5.] The most dramatic moments of Love Is Blind Season 5 are found in a cast reunion barbecue that starts in Episode 7. So much cast fighting ensues, the barbecue scene extends into Episode 8. TV Insider caught up with Milton Johnson and Christopher Fox to talk about that chaotic party and more. Milton got engaged to Lydia Velez Gonzalez after it was revealed that her ex, Uche Okoroha, was also in the experiment. Viewers saw his reaction on-screen, and he eventually said her past had no bearing on their future. Did Milton ever consider breaking up with Lydia right then and there? “No, I don’t think so. For me, I went into this experiment with a primary goal of meeting my potential wife. That’s my clear, objective goal,” Milton says in the video interview above, ...

The wildest season of Love Is Blind is drawing to a close. Season 5 of the Netflix reality series has featured some of the most chaotic twists in the show’s history, including the shocking reveal about Uche and Lydia’s past, Aaliyah’s surprise decision to exit the experiment, Jp’s out-of-pocket remarks about Taylor’s makeup, and Izzy’s bizarre behavior at the reunion BBQ, where he went after his ex Johnie for being “sketchy,” much to the delight of his fiancée Stacy.
At this point, there are just two pod couples left standing, and the upcoming weddings almost seem like an afterthought. Still, we know we’ll be tuning in to find out if anyone from this season of Love Is Blind actually says “I do” at the altar.

With just a few episodes left, we’re nearing the end of Love is Blind Season 5.
As with past seasons, Love is Blind Season 5 sees contestants getting to know each other through conversation only in “pods”. If sparks fly in the pods, couples can propose marriage and then have the chance to lay eyes on each other. This kicks off a few weeks of living together before the couple can decide to break it off or tie the knot.
Already in Season 5, we’ve seen a new kind of drama:...

Love Is Blind isn’t telling the full story, at least according to one season 5 cast member. Renee Poche was featured in the show’s Houston season. She’s been hinting on social media that there’s more to her Love Is Blind journey than what people are seeing on screen.

Every season, a few dozen fed-up singles enter the custom-designed Love Is Blind pods in the hopes of finding “the one.” While a few end up getting engaged, most go home alone. Unsurprisingly, those uncoupled participants get little to no screen time in the show’s final edit.

"Love Is Blind" is in its flop era. The fifth season of the Netflix dating series hasn't even finished airing, and I'm prepared to declare it the worst installment yet. The couples aren't worth rooting for, the gratuitous drama is at an all-time high, several contestants have exhibited problematic behavior, and one key ingredient is missing amid all the chaos: actual romantic chemistry.
This season is a lot to unpack, so let's start by first dissecting the couples, shall we? In the pods, we see three pairs get engaged - Stacy and Izzy, Lydia and Milton, and Taylor and Jp - which is half the amount who typically get engaged. That number gets reduced even more when Taylor and Jp call it quits in Mexico, leaving just two sets of fiancés headed to the altar.
As each situation stands now, it's hard to imagine either couple following through and saying "I do.

Love Is Blind Season 5 is bringing the drama. Things got messy early on in the Netflix reality series when it came out that two cast members – Uche and Lydia – had dated prior to entering the pods. Now, we’re learning more about the pair’s relationship, and it’s even crazier than we realized.
