The final decisions are being made on Season 8 of Love Is Blind. As the reality TV cast members’ time in the pods comes to an end, they’re forced to choose the person for whom they have the strongest feelings.

Conversations are more vulnerable than ever as people declare their feelings for someone they’ve never seen. What happens when someone tells another they’re their first choice and the sentiment isn’t reciprocated?

Trekking Through Tough Convos

The first date we see is between Sara and Ben. Sara brings up politics, noting that she grew up in a conservative household but that her own beliefs are different now. The fact that the George Floyd incident took place in Minneapolis affected her very deeply, and she needs a partner who’s on the same page about the treatment of others:

When Ben responds that he tries to educate himself on those matters as best he can, she seems pleased.

Mason catches Madison by surprise when he tells her that she’s his first choice. Last episode, he was thrown when she said Alex made her feel more stable, so he’s clearly stepping up his game now. He lays it on thick, telling her he knows she’s gorgeous even though he doesn’t have a picture of what she looks like.

That said, Meg has a way of reading Mason’s mind, taking the words right out of his mouth. He explains how surreal their dynamic is:

Meg agrees, saying they share a lot in common but also have important differences too. She reminds him that if he decides his other connection is stronger, she hopes he’ll have to respect to let her know.

Meanwhile, Madison’s connection with Alex also deepens, as he feels committed to understanding her and appreciating her growth through her past trauma. “I know what I want, and it is you,” she tells him, saying he was her number one from the first day. They officially become boyfriend and girlfriend — but now she has to break up with Mason.

Devin And Brittany Get Deep

Devin opens up to Brittany about a basketball injury that made him lose his sense of self, but that repairing his relationship with God helped him find his way again. Brittany opens up about how she had a serious relationship with a woman, but ultimately saw herself being married to a man when she pictured the rest of her life. Hearing this about Brittany’s sexuality doesn’t change Devin’s opinion of her, but he does say it gives him a lot to think about.

Devin tells Virginia that he still feels like she’s holding back, to which she reminds him she’s only there for him. He grows emotional again talking about his relationship with God, and it makes Virginia tear up, talking about how much she wants to find a partner who will pray with her.

There’s more drama between Molly and Lauren, as both have David listed as their #1 choice. They wonder if one of them is “delulu” since they both believe they have a better chance of getting engaged to the same man. On their next date, Lauren confronts him about promises he may have made to Molly. “I wish we would’ve talked about this before right now,” he says, his tone foreboding. Are things headed towards another breakup?
