The ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 5 Reunion Was a Massive Flop
After watching all 11 episodes of Love Is Blind’s fifth season, we’re confident in saying that this was the biggest flop the Netflix series has produced yet. Only one couple ended up saying “I do” at the altar, after just two made it there in the first place—and only three even left the pods engaged. (Well, only three that we got to see on-screen, at any rate; justice for Renee.) One contestant recognized another’s voice in the pods, creating a season-long mess that ruined a third contestant’s experience altogether. Love triangles led to tensions sprang anew outside of the pods, and … truly, the list of terrible missteps could go on.
Unfortunately, all of this led to a pretty boring reunion. After Season 4’s botched live reunion, Netflix went the safer, pre-taped route this time around. But that—and Season 5’s most controversial participant declining to attend—led to a manicured, relatively drama-free check-in with the cast.
If you already feel exhausted from all the rigamarole Season 5 had to offer and would rather tap out of this wan reunion, we’ve collected the highlights, below.
