Alright reality TV junkies get ready to dive headfirst into the latest season of Love Is Blind! Season 8 just dropped and it's serving up all the drama romance and WTF moments we have come to expect. Minneapolis is the city this time and let me tell you these Minnesotan singles brought the heat (and the cold hard truths) in those pods.

From Pods to Proposals: Meet the Love Is Blind Season 8 Couples Headed to the Altar (Or Not!)

So who are the lucky (or maybe unlucky?) couples who actually made it out of the pods engaged? We have got a few pairs who bravely decided to say 'yes' to forever sight unseen. Get ready to meet them and see if they actually make it down the aisle because you know on Love Is Blind anything can happen!

Here are the couples we were watching closely this season:

  • Sara Carton and Ben Mezzenga: These two had some up and downs but somehow made it to wedding planning. Will their differences and Ben's past catch up to them?
  • Joey Leveille and Monica Danús: Can Monica's sister drama and Joey's carefree attitude survive the real world? We are waiting to see if Monica will actually say "I do" after all the family concerns.
  • Virginia Miller and Devin Buckley: Politics prenups and different lifestyles? This couple has a lot to figure out before saying "I do". Will Virginia's concerns about Devin's political views derail their wedding?
  • Taylor Haag and Daniel Hastings: Seemingly the most solid couple but will Taylor's social media suspicions and Daniel's chill vibe lead to a wedding or a walk away? They seem like the surest bet but never underestimate Love Is Blind surprises.

Wait There Were MORE Engaged Couples? Love Is Blind Season 8 Secrets Revealed!

Here is a twist you probably did not know about. Turns out Kylie Schuelke and Brian Sumption ALSO got engaged in the pods in Season 8. But get this Netflix did not even show their story! Yep they were completely edited out of the main show. Crazy right?

Kylie and Brian are proof that Love Is Blind can actually work even if you do not get screen time. They left the experiment as a couple and are now happily engaged in real life. Brian said it felt like a "weight off our shoulders" to share their engagement after the show aired. They are now planning their own future away from the cameras. Talk about a Love Is Blind success story that almost no one saw coming!

Executive producer Chris Coelen spilled some tea saying they actually had EIGHT engaged couples this season. EIGHT! They filmed 16 people's stories but just could not fit everyone in. He said they pick the stories that "resonate" and "lean into authenticity". Poor Kylie and Brian maybe their story was just too normal for Love Is Blind standards? Who knows but congrats to them for finding love off-screen!

Lauren and Dave's Dramatic Breakup: Ego Pride and a Whole Lotta Misunderstanding

Okay let's talk about the breakup that was a long time coming: Lauren and Dave. From the start there was drama about Lauren's past and Dave just could not seem to let it go. Remember that "friends with benefits" situation? Yeah that haunted their whole relationship.

Even meeting Lauren's supportive mom did not help Dave's doubts. Then he dropped the bomb about telling his sister he would never actually get engaged on this show. Ouch. And then there was the bowling date breakup. It was awkward tense and just plain sad. They could not even agree on the facts of their arguments let alone their relationship.

Dave was also upset about a convo with Lauren's dad and honestly his whole reasoning was a bit confusing. He kept saying his family would be there for him but also that he can not force people to change their minds. It felt like a lot of mixed signals and well just a mess.

Ultimately Dave called it quits and Lauren sadly agreed. But here is the kicker Dave then admitted he was still in love with Lauren and that his ego and pride were the real problem. Meanwhile Lauren wrote a letter to Dave's sister trying to explain everything and get her approval but Dave never even gave it to her. Seriously?

Mini Reunion Drama: Dave and Lauren Face Off Molly Spills Tea and More Pod Secrets!

The mini reunion was a rollercoaster. Lauren showed up solo and Molly dropped a bomb about Dave being spotted at a bar with another woman. Lauren found out Dave stayed out all night after their breakup and apparently was not exactly alone. Molly was not impressed declaring Dave and his Instagram selfies were not all that great anyway. Girl power!

Then Dave showed up looking all sad about the breakup. He told the guys it "sucked" and he was upset it seemed like his choice. He even said he wished he could do things differently and "still be that guy for her". But when he actually talked to Lauren face to face things got awkward again. He tried to apologize but then got defensive complaining that Lauren did not text him. Seriously dude?

Netflix tried to make it seem all romantic with the music and editing but honestly it felt more like a train wreck. Dave wants another chance but Lauren now has to be the one to say no. Is this really "Love Is Blind" or "Love Is Confusing and Dramatic"?

Beyond the Engaged: Pod Singles Drama and Surprising New Connections

But wait there is more drama beyond the engaged couples. Remember all those other singles from the pods? They had their own reunion and some interesting stuff went down.

Britt-a-ny gave Devin a chance to apologize for how he reacted to her sexuality reveal. She thought he was "immature". Devin instead of apologizing just friend-zoned her saying they were better off as friends. Smooth move Devin.

Madison showed up rocking pink hair and then things got even more interesting. Mason and Meg walked in holding hands! Turns out they are now "hanging out" and it's going "really good". Meg apparently reached out to Mason and they had their own reveal moment. Good for them for finding a connection even after the pods!

Then Alex arrived and Madison dropped a bomb about him. She said Alex changed his tune after seeing her Instagram and then claimed Meg told him he was her number one. Madison felt like Alex was trying to play them against each other. Wait Meg and Alex? Where did THAT come from? It is all very messy and very Love Is Blind.

Wedding Watch: Will They or Won't They? Predicting the Love Is Blind Season 8 Altar Outcomes

So who do we think will actually say "I do" at the altar? It is anyone's guess on Love Is Blind but let's try to predict based on all the drama and vibes we have seen:

  • Joey and Monica: Likely "I Do". They seem to be working through their issues and Monica seems determined to make it work. The sister drama might just be background noise now.
  • Taylor and Daniel: Most Likely "I Do". They are giving off strong "meant to be" vibes and seem genuinely happy and compatible. Unless there is a major last-minute twist these two are probably walking down the aisle.
  • Virginia and Devin: Maybe "I Do" but it is a toss-up. They are working on their differences but those political and prenup concerns are still lingering. It could go either way depending on if they can truly bridge those gaps.
  • Ben and Sara: Leaning towards "I Don't". Despite Sara's optimism there are just too many red flags and outside noise. Those differing views on social issues and Ben's past are major hurdles. It would be a surprise if they actually got married.

Of course Love Is Blind is known for its shocking twists so who knows what will REALLY happen. We will just have to tune in to the weddings and reunion to find out for sure!
