Netflix’s Love Is Blind returned on October 1, 2025, with Season 9 set in Denver. The new season continues the experiment of dating “blind” in pods, then meeting only after a proposal. The first six episodes dropped the same day, with more episodes each Wednesday through October.

Who Got Engaged—and Who Split (Episodes 1–6)
Six couples left the pods engaged; five traveled to the post-pod trip in Mexico. The engagements and early turbulence are specific:
- Ali Lima & Anton Yarosh: They bonded over immigrating young and learning English later in life. Before Episode 1 ended, they exchanged “I love you,” and Anton proposed to his “baby girl.” At the reveal, Anton said he was glad Ali was beautiful, adding it wouldn’t have mattered if she were “twice the size.”
- Madison Maidenberg & Joe Ferrucci: After an awkward reveal, Joe admitted he’s usually into “thinner” women and not someone with a “larger physique,” then insisted he was “at peace” with Madison. In Mexico, he got blackout drunk and laughed while Madison tried to help, leaving her in tears.
- Annie L. & Nick Amato: Nick first told Kait he loved her, but reversed course over religious differences and chose Annie. Brenden tried to fight for Annie, but she accepted Nick’s proposal; they kissed “a lot” at the reveal.
- “Sparkle Megan” (Megan Walerius) & Jordan Keltner: After Blake left the show, Megan chose Jordan over health-focused Mike, feeling fate when Jordan’s 5-year-old son had the same type of diabetes as her late father. Megan later bristled when Jordan joked around with Joe at the pool party.
- Kalybriah & Edmond L. Harvey: Kalybriah suggested waiting until marriage to have sex; Edmond agreed—until he learned “all the other men” did on night one. He said he’s “gotta hit it before marriage” and cried that he’s “too f—ing nice,” after earlier boasting he was “about to cry with a boner.”
- Kacie McIntosh & Patrick Suzuki: Patrick, reeling after Anna left without saying goodbye, proposed to his “distant No. 2,” Kacie. Immediately after the reveal, Kacie told producers Patrick “deserves someone better than me,” told Patrick she “was so happy” yet couldn’t go to Mexico, and whispered she might not “be there with him.” Off camera, she said he deserved someone “obsessed” with him and admitted, “I just know it won’t.”

Denver Context & Early Reception
Local coverage framed the city’s reputation starkly: “We are cringing at the thought of how Denver’s dismal dating scene — let alone the city — are going to be portrayed.” A premiere-week recap rated Episodes 1–6 at three stars and noted that while pacing “feels perfect” in no season, multiple payoffs arrive via exits, ghosting, and blowups.
What’s Next for Love Is Blind Season 9
The rest of October tracks real-life cohabitation in Denver, family meetups, and wedding-day decisions. Given the specific friction points already on display — Joe’s fixation on “thinner” ideals, Edmond’s shifting sexual expectations, and Kacie’s whiplash-inducing “obsessed” standard — the Mexico trip and Denver move-ins will test whether these engagements can survive outside the pods.
Analysis: The Denver setting, a cast aged largely in the late 20s to late 30s, and a 12-episode structure suggest a season built around lifestyle alignment more than instant chemistry. Early editing choices pushed rapid commitments (Ali/Anton) and highlighted value clashes (Annie/Nick’s religion pivot; Edmond/Kalybriah’s boundaries). Watch the weekly cadence in October to see whether initial infatuations convert to compatible daily routines — or to decisive no’s at the altar.
