If anything can be expected from “Love Is Blind” reunions, it’s drama, and the Season 6 reunion certainly delivered on that front.
For those who need a quick refresher: The five couples who left the pods engaged were Laura Dadisman and Jeramey Lutinski, Amy Cortés and Johnny McIntyre, Clay Gravesande and Amber Desiree “AD” Smith, Jimmy Presnell and Chelsea Blackwell and Kenneth Gorham and Brittany Mills.
While Blackwell and Presnell, Gravesande and Smith and Cortés and McIntyre made it to the finale still coupled up, only Gravesande and Smith and Cortés and McIntyre made it down the aisle on their wedding day. Cortés and McIntyre happily tied the knot, while Gravesande’s hesitation to say “I do” ending his chances of marrying Smith.
The couples and exes returned for the reunion alongside other pod daters who got wrapped into the drama — including Sarah Ann Bick, Jessica Vestal and Trevor Sova — just in time to update fans and hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey on their current status and deliver answers to all of the burning questions that arose since last week’s finale.
