Overview
- Creator Chris Coelen says an eighth pod engagement, between Elissa Finley and Miguel Josue Lopez, ended the day after their reveal and was not followed on-camera.
- Finley’s on-set medical scare involved accidentally using nail glue as eye drops; she spent a few hours at a hospital for saline flushing and returned to filming the next morning with no overnight cameras.
- Seven engaged pairs were tracked beyond the pods, a larger-than-usual group that stretched resources compared with past seasons that typically followed five or six.
- Six couples traveled to Cabo San Lucas, while Vic St. John and Christine Hamilton took a private Malibu retreat documented largely with self-recorded footage due to production constraints.
- Episodes 1–6 are streaming now, with additional installments scheduled for Feb. 18 and Feb. 25, and a finale set for March 4 on Netflix.
