Love Is Blind may be over for another season, but before we say goodbye to the seventh series for good, it turns out two more couples actually got together during the pods, but their scenes were eventually cut.
You may remember Bohdan, 36, who briefly had a connection with Marissa before she decided to go ahead with Ramses. However, it turns out Marissa wasn’t the only person Bohdan was interested in. He was also building a connection with Nina, 32, who was cast in the series alongside her sister Tara, 29.
Bohdan and Nina built up such a strong bond they ended their time in the pods together as a couple. According to Vulture, Nina was unsure about appearing on camera and was reluctant to get engaged despite her strong feelings for Bohdan. Bohdan, on the other hand, reportedly saw no harm in getting engaged as it was part of the show’s process and could help their relationship.
They went back and forth about this throughout their time in the pods, but ultimately decided to leave together, but not engaged.
And it appears both sisters were lucky in love, as Vulture also reported Nina’s sister Tara also formed a connection in the pods, and left with her partner without getting engaged. However from both Nina and Tara’s Instagram accounts they don’t appear to be with their Love Is Blind partners anymore.
It’s not uncommon in the Love Is Blind process for many more couples to get together or get engaged and then not make it to the final edit. As seen in season seven, we witnessed Brittany and Leo’s journey, including their first face to face meet, but they were ultimately not chosen to be part of the rest of the experiment.
The series executive producer Chris Coelen previously revealed they often don’t include all the couples who get engaged due to budget restrictions.
Speaking to Variety, Coelen said: “We have the budget to follow five couples and sometimes we stretch to six couples, and we figure out how to stack our crews.”
He also explained they try and workout which couples seem the most authentic and therefore have the biggest likelihood of saying “I do” at the altar when choosing whose journey to follow in the rest of the series.
“When we make that decision as to who to follow, if we have more couples that got engaged, we make a decision as to which couples we think are authentic,” he revealed. “And when I say authentic, I mean most authentically likely to actually be at the altar and say I do. Who is really genuinely on that path? We felt, at the time, that the six couples we did end up following were the ones that felt more, on a gut level, had a real shot to say ‘I do’ — that they were really invested in saying ‘I do’.”
Well that explains that then.
