The latest season of Love is Blind has hit Netflix, with singles from Denver looking to find love in the pods. The first six episodes dropped with us seeing several first-time moments, including not one but two people deciding to leave the experiment. We had the chance to talk to one of the cast members who left Blake about why he decided to leave the show.
Who is Blake?
From his Love is Blind bio: As an April Fool’s Day baby, Blake knows how to take a joke, but he’s never been more serious about finding a partner. In the pods, women who are interested in different perspectives will capture his attention. “I find curiosity very attractive,” he says. Inquisitive minds go a long way in helping to pull Blake out of his shell. “I’m a little more introverted than most people would expect,” he says. “I process things internally.” Up until now, Blake has prioritized his career over romantic relationships, but he’s finally ready to focus full-time on finding love. “This experiment makes that goal very attainable,” he says. Speaking of goals, Blake has already accomplished a lot in his life. He’s most proud of owning a home, where his beloved Bernese mountain dog, Mabel, calls the shots. Anyone hoping to become a dog mom to Mabel must enjoy what Blake calls “stereotypical Denver things,” especially hiking.
Who was Blake talking to in the pods?
Blake had not one but two connections in the pods. The first of whom was Anna, who he had said several times was his number one connection. However, in episode three, we got a message that came across the screen that said Anna decided to leave the experiment. She actually no-showed a date with Patrick. Later in the episode, Megan, Blake’s other connection, showed up for her scheduled date with him, and he no-showed her.
Why did Blake leave Love is Blind?
We had the opportunity to sit down and chat with Blake about what happened in the pods and his decision to leave the show. You can read his answer below and check out our interview with him here.
Blake: Ultimately I knew this going into the experiment, but the timeline of the experiment is very condensed, and the odds aren’t in your favor when you go into it. I am, you know, to a fault, a very practical thinker at times. And I think I just started doing the math in my head, and we were getting towards the end of the pod section, and I think I just realized I’m probably someone who needs a bit more time. I think all of us going into this experiment had our doubts in terms of that condensed timeline, but you get into it.
You start dating and become pretty optimistic. I think most people did, and then at some point for some of us, and myself included, I think it hits you like, Hey, this, this might not be in the cards for me.
