The Love is Blind Experiment: Which Couples Beat the Odds and Found Lasting Love?

Spoiler alert: if you haven't yet binge-watched all seven seasons of the Netflix hit series 'Love is Blind', proceed with caution. The show's unique experiment has left many wondering: is love truly blind? Can two strangers, who meet and get engaged in a completely blind environment, really make it work in the real world?

For those who may be unfamiliar with the show's format, here's a quick rundown. A group of singles, all hoping to find 'the one', enter a pod system where they go on dates, form connections, and eventually get engaged - all without ever laying eyes on one another. Once engaged, the couples meet face-to-face for the very first time, and then decide whether or not they want to go through with the wedding and make their relationship official.

Throughout the show's seven-season run, there have been plenty of ups and downs. Some couples have beat the odds and are still going strong, while others have fizzled out and gone their separate ways. Let's take a look at the couples who took a chance on love and got engaged in the pods.

Season one saw Cameron and Lauren, as well as Amber and Barnett, get engaged and eventually tie the knot. Meanwhile, Giannina and Damian, unfortunately, did not make it down the aisle. Other couples from the first season weren't so lucky either, with none of the remaining pairs staying together in the long run.

Season two introduced fans to Iyanna and Jarrette, who had a whirlwind romance but ultimately decided not to get married. Abhishek 'Shake' Chatterjee and Deepti Vempati also got engaged but broke things off before the season even ended. On a more positive note, Danielle Ruhl and Nick Thompson, as well as Natalie Lee and Shayne Jansen, are still going strong.

Seasons three through six saw plenty of couples get engaged, but not all of them worked out. Colleen Reed and Matt Bolick, as well as Alexa Alfia and Brennon Lemieux, made it to the end of their respective seasons but decided not to get married. Meanwhile, Irina Soliman and Bartise Bowden faced plenty of ups and downs but, in the end, decided to give their relationship another shot.

So, what can we take away from the 'Love is Blind' experiment? Is love truly blind, or does physical attraction play a bigger role in the success of a relationship? While the answer may vary from couple to couple, one thing is certain: the show has left a lasting impact on many of its participants, and some have even found true love in the process.
