Love Is Blind follows six couples after the pods: Lauren and Cameron, Damian and Giannina, Kelly and Kenny, Barnett and Amber, Mark and Jessica and Carlton and Diamond.
But it turns out there were even more couples ready to walk down the aisle once the pods came to an end.
The series' creator Chris Coelen spoke to Entertainment Weekly about what went on behind-the-scenes - including the fact that eight couples ended up getting engaged.
"We only have so much time to tell a story, but there are lots of interesting stories. There’s the guy, Rory, who features in a couple of scenes," he explained. "He's phenomenal. He actually got engaged to a woman who you only see for a brief moment early on named Danielle. They were together for a little while and then they broke up and she ended up dating the guy who appears at the very beginning of the show, Matt.

"One of the things I love about the show is, ultimately, when they go on their romantic getaway, they do get to see what the other ones look like and Jessica gets to see Barnett in the flesh for the first time and you get to see whether that matters and if maybe she made the wrong choice. I love that element of the show and I think that in real life, they were all really curious to know what the others looked like."
And while we totally get that there are time constraints (and only so many couples they would be able to follow post-pod), we can only imagine how it feels to have gone through the process to be edited out.
The finale of Love Is Blind airs on Netflix on February 27. Explore more on these topics:
