A new group of singles are ready to find a lifelong commitment on Love Is Blind season 5 — but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy.
In the Netflix hit show’s upcoming fifth season, singles from Houston will embark on an unconventional journey for love, and decide to marry without ever seeing their partners.
“In the most shocking season yet, the singles face new challenges, unexpected twists, and surprising turns that will test their personal resolve, and the strength of their connections, more than ever before,” reads an official synopsis from Netflix.
The synopsis continues, “Even if the couples can forge a strong enough bond to get engaged sight unseen, can their love survive the challenges waiting for them in the outside world — including protective families, skeptical friends, and the exes they thought they’d left behind?”
In the show’s new trailer, which debuted on Thursday, the new hopefuls open up about their biggest insecurities. For Izzy, that is his “bald ass head” while Johnie grapples how her past sounds like “8,000 walking red flags.”
Aaliyah admits, “Letting someone in is really scary.”
Amid the sight-unseen proposals, there is no shortage of drama with Uche telling his castmate, “She planned for us to both be here because she couldn’t let me go.”
Taylor shares in a confessional that stringing along two men is “just a little bit awkward.”
Protective family members also step in and bring up questions about age and wealth. One relative asks, “I’m just curious what someone 30 would be interested in a 24-year-old.”
Another parent says, “Love is blind, I get that, but sometimes, love wants to fly first class,” and Milton responds with a one-word answer, “Wow.”
However, hope is not completely lost as Izzy shares, “Everything’s just falling into place right now” while Johnie says, “The path to love is not a straight line.”
Lydia is ready to move forward without her insecurities holding her back, saying, “In the past, I’ve been called too much. I think I’m the right amount of me.”
