Love is blind Season 7 is halfway through, and it’s obvious that the producers made some glaring mistakes, most notably casting shady cast members Stephen Richardson and Tyler Francis. 15 men and 15 women entered the Love is blind Pods in season 7, and almost seven couples made it out of the pods and onto the vacation portion of the experiment. Steven and Monica Davis, Taylor Francis and Ashley Adionser, Garrett Josemans and Taylor Krause, Marissa George and Ramses Prashad Tim Godbee and Alex Bird left the pods engaged.
Leo Baudy and Brittany Wisniewski got engaged in the pods but didn’t last long after the reveal. Brittany was visibly uncomfortable when she saw Leo, and Leo was overly nice and aggressive with his body language when they met. It was revealed that the producers did not invite them to the Mexico vacation but that they went to Miami, where they ended things soon after. However, the drama of Leo and Brittany pales in comparison to the scandals that have come out about Steven and Taylor in particular situations, and it has a ripple effect on the show.
