Love Is Blind has become one of Netflix's cornerstone shows, but throughout the last 10 seasons, some couples have left viewers with a sour taste on the show's central experiment. Throughout Love Is Blind season 10, which has brought a new wave of critique into the conversation surrounding the show, viewers have watched as new couples try to determine if love can really be blind.

While there have been 10 seasons of the Netflix reality hit to try and pinpoint the answer to that question, Love Is Blind has been working diligently to bring together unlikely couples to test their theories. While Love Is Blind season 1 and its current iteration may look incredibly different, the series has changed throughout its run despite continuing with its original premise.

Love Is Blind has seen success stories in nearly every season, with only a few seasons of the show getting to the end of the experiment without an on-screen wedding or a match that seems to be living happily ever after. While there are several couples who have made it through the Love Is Blind ringer and come out happier because of it, there are many more who haven't.

The number of breakups and divorces that have come out of Love Is Blind is high, and though it's to be expected when the show's casts are typically upwards of 30 singles, seeing so many people come out of Love Is Blind without a happy ending can be surprising. While some breakups were natural, others have come from catastrophic matches that viewers love to loathe.

10 Sara and Ben

Love Is Blind Season 8

Despite Sara Carton and Ben Mezzenga holding incredibly different views, the pair felt that they were a match during their time in the pods on Love Is Blind season 8. While Ben, who said more than once that he was apolitical, had no interest in talking about politics, Sara felt it was important to understand each other's stances on the world.

When Sara wound up choosing not to marry Ben at the altar because of his lack of ability to delve into his thoughts on what was happening in the world, he was confused. Ultimately, accusations against Ben came to light during the airing of Love Is Blind season 8 that made it clear that Sara's choice to leave him behind was, likely, the right move.

9 Jessica and Chris

Love Is Blind Season 10

As one of the few couples who have broken up on the current season of Love Is Blind, Jessica Barrett and Chris Fusco may not be the worst couple of the season entirely, but their relationship has been one of the most difficult to digest. Jessica, an infectious disease doctor, and Chris, an account executive, didn't see eye-to-eye on everything, but seemed stable coming out of the pods.

When the pair finally started getting to know each other face-to-face, however, Chris found he took issue with Jessica's level of physical activity. Sharing that he typically dated women who did circuit training, Chris wasn't direct about being unattracted to Jessica, but made it clear that he wasn't interested in moving forward on Love Is Blind.

8 Colleen and Matt

Love Is Blind Season 3

Although Colleen Reed and Matt Bolton were a couple who wound up together at the end of Love Is Blind season 3, their relationship was one of the worst the show has ever seen. In a season monopolized by a difficult group of participants who consistently struggled with their relationships, Matt's inability to regulate his emotions consistently caused issues with Colleen.

The couple's fights during their post-pods honeymoon were catastrophic, leaving viewers fearing for Colleen's safety after Matt's rage-fueled behavior aired. When the pair ultimately decided to get married, many were concerned. After the show, Colleen and Matt lived separately for years before moving in together, and ultimately the chaotic couple split in 2025 after four years of marriage.

7 Chelsea and Jimmy

Love Is Blind Season 6

As one of the biggest memes of Love Is Blind season 6, Chelsea Blackwell's relationship with Jimmy Presnell was only a piece of her puzzle on the series. While Chelsea quickly became well-known for her self-comparison to Megan Fox, her relationship with Jimmy was a tougher pill to swallow. Jimmy, who chose Chelsea over Jess Vestal in the pods, struggled with Chelsea's behavior after meeting face-to-face.

When Jimmy realized that Chelsea was speaking candidly about his life outside of the show, especially surrounding his past physical relationship with a woman he was still friends with, he was furious with his Love Is Blind fiancée. Jimmy ultimately chose to end his relationship with Chelsea, feeling she'd broken his trust, while Chelsea was dumbfounded at his behavior.

6 Jackelina and Josh

Love Is Blind Season 4

Although Jackelina Bonds and Marshall Glaze were engaged during their time on Love Is Blind season 4, her initial connection with Josh Demas was something she clearly couldn't move past. Jackelina and Marshall weren't the right fit and broke up before the weddings even took place, which is why their relationship announcement during the season's reunion wasn't surprising.

Jackelina and Josh's relationship was shown off as a success for the series, but the couple's strange clout-chasing behavior wasn't something fans enjoyed watching, especially when both were argumentative toward Marshall. Love Is Blind featured the pair more than once after their season, but ultimately, Jackelina and Josh ended their relationship after some time together, both moving on to better connections.

5 Taylor and JP

Love Is Blind Season 5

Taylor Rue and Jared "JP" Pierce were a fascinating pair during Love Is Blind season 5's pod phase. The pair bonded quickly over their upbringing and felt like they were being emotionally open with one another throughout their time in the pods, but once they met face-to-face, JP's behavior quickly changed. Struggling to connect, JP became aggressive toward Taylor, especially about her looks.

While JP seemed like he was interested in Taylor after their first meeting, their post-engagement honeymoon saw an entirely different side emerge. JP was inexplicably harsh with Taylor, commenting on her looks and attitude negatively, criticizing her consistently until the pair chose to end their relationship.

4 Ashley and Tyler

Love Is Blind Season 7

Although Ashley Adionser and Tyler Frances felt that they'd found their other half during Love Is Blind season 7, the drama that followed the couple after the series ultimately led to their relationship's end. While Ashley and Tyler faced some difficulties during the season surrounding his decision not to be open about children he'd fathered, the pair went ahead with their wedding.

After their time on the series, however, things quickly became dark and difficult. Ashley came to understand that Tyler had been lying about his children, and further, about other pieces of his life that she wasn't comfortable with. Tyler's secretive nature became too difficult for Ashley to deal with, and she ultimately chose to end their marriage.

3 Jessica and Mark

Love Is Blind Season 1

Jessica Batten and Mark Cuevas were a huge part of Love Is Blind season 1, and their connection formed quickly upon meeting in the pods. While Jessica was concerned about the age difference between herself and Mark (she was 34, he was 24), he reassured her throughout their time in the pods, which led to their engagement.

Throughout the season, Jessica remained focused on the age gap between herself and Mark, and her lingering feelings for another member of the pod squad made it difficult for their relationship to find stability. Mark's maturity was ultimately not up to par for Jessica, who chose not to get married to Mark at the altar after a tough back-and-forth.

2 Kalybriah "KB" and Edmond

Love Is Blind Season 9

As a couple, Kalybriah "KB" Haskin and Edmond Harvey seemed like a strange fit during Love Is Blind season 9, though not until after their time getting to know one another in the pods. While KB and Edmond were both strong-willed, the pair bonded quickly and seemed like they may be able to make things work. Once they met face-to-face, everything changed.

After a difficult fight between KB and Edmond about whether or not they would be physically intimate before getting married, the pair quickly seemed like they were on different wavelengths. The pair found they were having trouble communicating with one another, which left them both uneasy about moving forward with their relationship. KB ultimately chose to say no at the altar, leaving Edmond behind.

1 Deepti and Shake

Love Is Blind Season 2

Deepti Vempati and Abhishek "Shake" Chatterjee were one of the most intense couples of the hazardous Love Is Blind season 2, the first season to feel "unsuccessful" for the series. While Deepti and Shake's connection in the pods seemed undeniable, it quickly fizzled when the pair met in person after their engagement.

Shake's lack of attraction toward Deepti was a huge topic of conversation for him, and his hurtful comments about her appearance both on and off camera were consistent. Shake's shallow behavior quickly became something that Deepti couldn't ignore, and it was unsurprising when she didn't choose to say "I do" at the Love Is Blind altar.
