Love Is Blind is reopening its pods to Buckeye State singles for its tenth season, which premieres on February 11. The Emmy-nominated dating series continues its unique premise of preventing contestants from seeing each other during their search for love, posing the enduring question: Is love truly blind? This season's 32 contestants hail from across Ohio, from Columbus to Cincinnati, and include a range of backgrounds and personalities, from former athletes to business professionals to creative types. As always, the experiment brings its fair share of drama, romance, and heartbreak as the singles navigate the challenges of forming connections without physical attraction.

Why it matters

Love Is Blind has become a cultural phenomenon, offering a sharp contrast to the looks-first swiping culture of traditional dating apps. By removing the temptation of physical attraction, the show provides a unique social experiment that continues to captivate viewers. This season's Ohio-based cast brings a fresh set of personalities and stories to the ongoing exploration of whether love can truly blossom without initial visual cues.

The details

The tenth season of Love Is Blind follows the same format as previous installments. Contestants are sequestered by gender and allowed to connect with potential matches only while solo in a 'pod,' a room divided by a screen that prevents daters from seeing one another. Those who form connections get engaged sight-unseen, and it isn't until after their engagements that couples finally come face to face. The remainder of the season follows the engaged couples as they test their bonds in everyday life, with some ultimately deciding to say 'I do' and others walking away from the altar.
