After seven couples got engaged on "Love Is Blind" Season 10, only six of them traveled to Mexico for a romantic getaway. The seventh couple, Victor and Christine, were offered the chance to go on a private trip to Malibu instead. Producers say this was because Victor and Christine had fewer unfinished relationships with other cast members from their time in the dating pods, so they didn't need the Mexico trip to address any outstanding issues.

Why it matters

This decision by the "Love Is Blind" producers gives viewers a glimpse into how the show handles logistics and cast dynamics behind the scenes. It also highlights how the show is evolving to accommodate more couples and provide unique experiences for each pair.

The details

According to "Love Is Blind" executive producer Chris Coelen, the show has never had the resources to send more than six couples to Mexico for the traditional romantic getaway. However, this season they felt so good about the couples that they chose to follow seven of them, making it the biggest season in "Love Is Blind" history. In order to make this work, they offered one couple the chance to go to Malibu on their own private trip. Vic and Christine were selected for this because they had fewer intersecting relationships with the other remaining couples, so they didn't need the Mexico trip to address any outstanding feelings or issues.

  • In the first episode of Season 10, Vic and Christine got engaged in the dating pods.
  • Vic and Christine went on a private trip to Malibu without cameras following them.

What they’re saying

“We’ve never had the resources to send more than six couples to Mexico, but this season, we felt so good about the couples that for the very first time we chose to follow seven of them, producing the biggest season in ‘Love Is Blind’ history! In order to make this work, we had to offer one couple the chance to go to Malibu on their own getaway.”

“While the romantic getaways are a chance to not only see if the couples can turn their emotional connection into a physical one, they are also a chance to address outstanding feelings and issues with others they may have dated in the pods. Christine and Vic had fewer intersecting relationships with the other remaining couples, so we offered them the chance to go to Malibu, and we were absolutely thrilled that they accepted.”

What’s next

Vic and Christine will appear throughout the remainder of the "Love Is Blind" Season 10 as the production team started filming them once again when they returned to Ohio from their Malibu vacation.

The takeaway

This decision by the "Love Is Blind" producers highlights how the show is evolving to accommodate more couples and provide unique experiences for each pair, rather than sticking to a one-size-fits-all format. It also demonstrates the behind-the-scenes logistics and cast dynamics that go into crafting the show's narrative.
