For many fans, the pod dates on Love Is Blind are the most fascinating parts of the popular Netflix reality show. It's intriguing to see people who are strangers talking about their jobs, lives, hopes and dreams, and desire for marriage without even being able to look at each other. The fact that several couples have ended up happily ever after from the series makes these early episodes even more fun to watch.
From the one of the first times that Lauren and Cameron talked to each other to a sweet date featuring Sal and Mallory, there are many Love Is Blind pod dates that range from dramatic to romantic.
Kara Asked Shayne If He Is Good-Looking
Season 2 of Love Is Blind has great quotes, intense scenes, and some of the most exciting pod dates that fans never wanted to stop watching.
Kara asked Shayne if he was attractive and said that he might have to be in order to be successful in real estate. When he asked why she would ask him that, she said that she wanted to be honest. Shayne told the camera, "I think there's a lot of shallow people in this world." While this wasn't a romantic date, and it might not be a fan favorite moment, Shayne was talking about the theme and message behind the show, making this a smart and interesting scene.
Trisha Talked About Herself
Trisha didn't match with anyone in season 2 of Love Is Blind, but she made a big impression when she kept talking about herself. Viewers could tell that Trisha had high self-esteem when she asked, "Why are all you guys so excited to talk to me?"
The pod date when Trisha asked this specific question is definitely one of the most memorable from season 2. It didn't result in a love connection, but it has stuck with fans.
Jessica And Mark Talked About Sports
After learning that they were both Bears fans, Mark and Jessica were thrilled to connect with each other. It's interesting reflecting on this season 1 couple as things between them started out so strong and hopeful.
Even though Jessica said no to Mark at the altar, and Mark said that he was heartbroken, this was still a nice date that showed the potential of the show's idea. Fans saw that couples really could connect in this way.
Damian And Giannina's Pod Proposal
Giannina is one of the best cast members on Love Is Blind and Gigi and Damian had a wonderful moment in the pods in season 1 when they each proposed.
After Damian got down on one knee to ask if Gigi would spend the rest of her life with him, Giannina said to Damian, "I see you as my equal and I'm just as strong as you. So, I want to ask you, Damien Powers, will you marry me?" Although the wedding didn't work out and the two have since broken up, this scene was exciting and romantic and just what viewers were hoping for.
Shaina Confessed Her Feelings For Shayne
After Shayne and Natalie seemed like they would definitely get engaged, Shaina regretted not opening up to Shayne about her feelings for him. In one shocking pod date, Shaina told Shayne how she felt.
Shayne was surprised and upset, wondering why Shaina didn't explain this to him earlier, and feeling like he had been put in a tough situation. Fans were riveted by this situation, which reminded them of the season 1 love triangle between Jessica, Barnett, and Amber.
Danielle And Nick Chatted About Brunch
While Nick and Danielle did argue in season 2, they decided to get married and explained at the season 2 reunion that they were happy together.
When the two met in the pods, they got to know each other by talking about a great Sunday. When Danielle said, "I like a bottomless brunch... just wait until you meet wine Danielle," fans saw a fun and playful side of her, and this is a good reminder that the cast members did bond even though they had some tough experiences later on.
Jarrette And Iyanna Connected Emotionally
Jarrette and Iyanna are two of the best members of the season 2 Love Is Blind cast and fans loved watching their connection and love grow while they talked in the pods.
In one of their first pod dates, they each became vulnerable and emotional, sharing the hard times they have been through and more about their past. Jarrette talked about an injury that he sustained that was tough and Iyanna shared that her godparents adopted her. Viewers could tell that these cast members were bonded together after this date and it was a more significant and meaningful conversation than many on the show.
Barnett Told Jessica He Would Propose Fast
Although Barnett ultimately proposed to Amber and he didn't choose Jessica, fans wondered if Jessica and Barnett would end up together at the beginning of season 1. In a sweet and entertaining pod date, Barnett told Jessica, "You've been high on my list since the beginning."
It's wild to look back at this moment and see how much Barnett and Jessica seemed to like each other and how quickly it all fell apart. Jessica was hurt and disappointed. When Barnett picked Amber, Jessica wanted to get engaged to Mark, and then Jessica famously talked about their decade-long age difference.
Sal Wrote A Song For Mallory
The biggest surprises in Love Is Blind season 2 included when Jarrette told Mallory that he wanted to marry her and she said that her heart belonged to Sal. In one of the best pod dates ever shown, Sal played a song that he wrote for Mallory.
Sal's tune was adorable and silly, as he joked about how similar they were and made a pun on the fact that they were dating via a pod. Fans love the drama on the show but also live for the smaller details, like seeing people learn more about each other.
Lauren And Cameron Talked About Their Bond
Love Is Blind fans could tell that Lauren and Cameron would be happy together from their early conversations. In a sweet pod date, Lauren said "your vibe is great" and they had "a good chemistry."
