Aired winter 2025 · Extra episode, uneven pod chemistry

Minneapolis

Season eight is the first to run fourteen episodes, adding a dedicated wedding episode to the format. Minneapolis brings genuine cast energy to the pods, but can't sustain it — the connection-building arrives in peaks, and the production can't hold momentum across the longer run.

01The take

Minneapolis.

More episodes, more room — not all of it filled.
02The shape of the season

A rhythm worth tracking.

Minneapolis is the first Love Is Blind to run fourteen episodes, with a standalone wedding episode added to the format. The cast brings real energy to the pod phase — some of the early connection work is among the stronger in the established era — but the season doesn't sustain that momentum across the longer run. The extra episode reveals the format's limits as much as its flexibility. A mid-range season with a notable experiment in structure.

03Where it sits in the canon

The #07 slot.

Slot #07 of 10 in the Love Is Blind Editor's Canon. The seasons on either side show what I ranked it against.
