Love Is Blind<\/em><\/a> season 8 followed five couples who got engaged<\/a> during their time in the pods. Kylie Schuelke<\/strong> and Brian Sumption<\/strong> also found love, but their story wasn\u2019t shown.<\/p>\n The couple shared a joint message via Instagram<\/a> on Monday, February 17, alongside a carousel of photos as they hosted a Love Is Blind watch party at the Troubadour Wine Bar, which Brian, 30, owns. In one of the pictures, Brian and Kylie, 28, shared a kiss.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom the pods to reality \u2014 what a journey! Grateful for every moment, every lesson, and everyone I met along the way,\u201d Kylie captioned the set of images. \u201cLove Is Blind<\/em> \u2014 you were a wild, unforgettable ride.\u201d<\/p>\n While it remained unclear if Brian got down on one knee in the pods, he and Kylie had clearly made a connection during their time on the show.<\/p>\n Several fans were shocked that the medical student and Brian\u2019s story didn\u2019t get any airtime.<\/p>\n \u201cI AM SORRY WAIT WHAT?!? Why was this not shown?!? I didn\u2019t want all that drama for them not to be together although I loved [Madison Errichiello<\/strong>] I want the couples!!! Darn it!! Congratulations tho,\u201d one viewer wrote in the comments section.<\/p>\n Another person added, \u201cThey could have given us THIS but we got 75 hours of couples who didn\u2019t get engaged?! Congrats Lovebirds.\u201d<\/p>\n Former Love Is Blind<\/em> star Chelsea Blackwell<\/strong><\/a> even offered up her congratulations to the duo by writing, \u201cTruly love this for you.\u201d<\/p>\n Love Is Blind<\/em> creator Chris Coelen<\/strong><\/a> had previously revealed that two other couples got engaged while in the pods, but he didn\u2019t specify who they were.<\/p>\n \u201cWe film everything and then we go back and look at how we got there. We put the pieces together,\u201d Chris, 57, told Variety<\/em><\/a> in an article published on Sunday, February 16. \u201cAs always, we\u2019re trying to pick the stories that resonate and that we feel are worthy of telling because they lean into authenticity.\u201d<\/p>\n He continued, \u201cWe can never make a show to show everything, but showing some of the other stuff that happens in the pods is just incredibly entertaining. I could probably make 30 episodes of pods and it would be fascinating. We told more stories than we\u2019ve ever told. We told the stories of 16 people this season, which is why we have more pod episodes.\u201d<\/p>\n However, some people have complained that two of the most prominent stories seen during Love Is Blind<\/em> season 8 revolved around four people who ultimately left while still single. Madison, 28, developed connections with both Mason Horacek<\/strong> and Alex Brown<\/strong><\/a>. However, Mason, 33, was torn between Madison and fellow costar Meg Fink<\/strong>.<\/p>\n After Madison broke things off with Mason, it seemed as though an engagement to Alex, 28, was imminent, but his response to how Mason reacted to Madison choosing to end things with him rubbed her the wrong way. Plus, even though Mason seemed open to the idea of proposing to Meg, 31, after his split from Madison, she opted to end things with him as well because she didn\u2019t want to feel like she was his second choice.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
