Season 10 of the popular Netflix reality dating show "Love Is Blind" premiered on February 11th, following singles from Cincinnati, Cleveland, and Columbus, Ohio. The next batch of episodes, numbers 7-9, are set to be released on Netflix on Wednesday, February 18th at 3am ET/12am PT.

Why it matters

"Love Is Blind" has become a cultural phenomenon, with fans eagerly awaiting each new season and episode. The show's unique premise of having contestants get engaged without ever seeing each other in person has captured the public's imagination, making the release of new episodes a highly anticipated event.

The details

In this season, the show's creator Chris Coelen revealed that two of the engaged couples, Vic St. John and Christine Hamilton, were sent on a romantic getaway to Malibu instead of joining the rest of the cast on a trip to Cabo. Coelen said this was because the show didn't have the resources to send more than six couples to Mexico, and St. John and Hamilton had fewer intersecting relationships with the other remaining couples.
