‘Love is Blind’ aired the first six episodes of its eighth season on February 14. As fans sat down to watch the show, they couldn’t help but realize that a lot of the men on the season looked very similar, specifically singling out Daniel Hastings, Alex Brown, Mason Horacek, Ben Mezzenga, and Dave Bettenburg. On X, many people joked about the similarities between the contestants. “This season of Love is Blind has the problem where there are too many identical white people that I can’t tell apart,” one post read.

“This season of @LoveIsBlindShow really skipped on DEI, seven white guys who could basically be clones,” another person agreed. “Love is blind season 8 really expects us to think these are 3 different men,” added a fourth alongside a screenshot from the series. Episode six of the new season ended with five engaged couples: Monica and Joey, Ben and Sara, David and Lauren, Devin and Virginia, and Daniel and Taylor. Madison and Alex got engaged in the pods, but are no longer together.
Future episodes of the season will see the lead-up to the engaged couples’ wedding day as they navigate living together. New episodes will be released on Fridays at 3 a.m. ET with episodes seven through nine coming out on February 21, episodes 10 through 11 on February 28, and the finale on March 7. Netflix has not yet announced whether or not there will be a season eight reunion. However, reunion dates have previously been revealed further along in the season.
