'Love Is Blind' Season 10 Is Coming & I'm Ready For The Pods To Open

Netflix

I was never much of a dating show watcher. I’ve never seen a full episode of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, and shows like 90 Day Fiancé or Married at First Sight have never been appealing to me. But the Netflix dating reality show Love is Blind has me in an absolute chokehold, and I’m so excited for Season 10 to premiere this February.

Love is Blind Release Date & Location

Feb. 11 is the official release date of Love is Blind Season 10 and we finally know where the singles will hail from — Ohio! O-h! I-o! (You know it has to be said.) It’s a little different to see a whole state be represented instead of a city, but the Buckeye State has a ton of great cities, from Columbus to Cincinnati. It’ll be a little fun to see so many different types of Ohioans find love (especially since previous seasons like Denver and Minneapolis have proven just how “small” those dating pools are).

And since the city has been released, so has the list of 32 contestants. The age ranges this season go from 28 to 38, which is fun, but there are already a few surprising bios. Like one guy who says his partner better be OK with him vacuuming at 4 a.m. (dude, what), an infectious disease doctor (I hope she gets everything she wants, this world is tough for her job), and, I can’t believe it, but another single parent (this mom has a 7-year-old daughter, girl don’t get with the vacuum guy).

The contestants being released always causes a whirlwind, so if you want to dig deep into these people before you ever see them take their first golden goblet sip in the pods, the subreddit for Love is Blind has a whole lot of tea being spilled. (Particularly for the men, and most of it is bad. Shocking, I know.)

How many episodes of Love is Blind will there be?

Episodes of Love is Blind will drop on Wednesdays, and while we don’t have an exact amount, we can assume there will be a larger episode dump of the pod sessions, followed by later release dates for the engagement period, the weddings, and, of course, the reunion. (A February release date also follows the Netflix Love is Blind pattern of a season coming out in late winter/early spring, and then another in the fall.)

The thing about Love is Blind is that everyone knows it’s silly. The show doesn’t have a great track record of vetting its contestants, and it really doesn’t have tons of successful marriages. But the thing I find so compelling about the show? The pod episodes.

I was honestly shocked to read on Reddit that so many viewers think the pod episodes go on too long. To me, they’re the best part of the show. While the drama that ensues between the contestants on vacation and the will-they-won’t-they vibes during the weddings are entertaining, the pod episodes are so sweet and tender to me. They remind me of when I started dating my husband and we spent weeks texting and talking on the phone, getting to know each other. We were crazy about each other from the beginning, and because I already had a 6-month-old when we started dating, it was pure bliss for us to get to know each other so well before going on our first date.

That’s exactly how the pod episodes feel to me. It’s so cute and happy! I honestly prefer them to the episodes where everyone’s yelling about the way someone eats shrimp or accusing their partner of looking at their second choice fiancé a little too long.

Love is Blind Season 10 is sure to be a hot mess, just like the seasons that came before it. Now, it feels like most of the contestants are in it for the clout and the Instagram partnerships after, but I’ll still be watching to catch some of the sweet vulnerability and butterflies-in-your-tummy crush energy from the pods. Honestly, it makes me want to snuggle into my own husband a little deeper — and maybe whisper some things to him from another room.
