WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW
Netflix show Love Is Blind has become one of the streaming service’s biggest breakout hits of the year so far.
The programme, hosted by husband and wife duo Nick and Vanessa Lachey, is an experiment, which puts to the test the question – is love blind?
Stage one of the experiment saw singletons interact in pods where they couldn’t see each other, meaning in theory they connected on a much deeper level, as instant lust that can come with seeing someone, was taken out of the equation.
At the end of the first part of the experiment, all of the engaged couples, who proposed to each other without seeing each other, jetted off on a group trip to Mexico, where some of the duos explored the ‘physical’ side of their relationships.
The third part of the show, saw the couples move in with each other, to see if their love continued to burn bright amongst all the stresses of daily life.
Last week, the loved-up pairings embarked on raucous bachelor/bachelorette parties, as the ultimate stage of the experiment crept ever closer.
Love Is Blind’s final part will document whether the couples choose to walk down the aisle with each other, and fans of the show are unsure whether any of the remaining couples – Lauren and Cameron, Damian and Giannini, Kelly and Kenny, Barnett and Amber, and Mark and Jessica, will get hitched, as it’s been far from smooth-sailing on their journeys to finding love.
Daily Star Online has taken a look back at some of the most shocking moments for the couples during the programme.

Lauren and Cameron are one of the fan favourites on the programme, with viewers thinking their love is one of the most genuine amongst the couples.
But fans of the show were left absolutely gobsmacked however at the start of the series, as the pair dropped the L-bomb on day four.
The pair said “I love you,” despite having a wall between them both, and having gone on other dates.
Lauren, 32, was first to tell Cameron, 28, that she loved him, seeing the scientist burst into tears.
He also told her the content specialist that divorce isn’t an option if they get married. He said: “We have to make it work.”
Following both parties declaring their love for each other, day five saw Cameron pop the question to Lauren, who emotionally accepted his marriage proposal.
Barnett’s U-turn from Jessica to Amber

Early on during the pod stage of the experiment, Jessica found herself torn between Mark, 24, and Barnet, 27.
Jessica found herself drawn to Mark over his Christian tattoo and because he wanted to become a dad. Whereas her attraction to Barnett came from him wanting to hang out with her when he comes home from work.
After a couple more dates, Barnett told Jessica he was ready to propose to her, seeing her torpedo her relationship with Mark, and leaving Barnett’s budding romances with Amber and Lauren up in the air.
However, almost instantly after Jessica cooled off her relationship with Mark, Barnett pulled back from Jessica.
This saw Jessica go back to her “babe” Mark – although she seemingly still had feelings for Barnett, while Barnett continued dating Lauren and Amber, before ultimately picking Amber, 26.
Carlton and Diamond’s bust-up in Mexico

Carlton Morton and Diamond Jack looked set for their happily ever after, after the pair got engaged in the pods.
But Carlton’s bisexual secret rocked the couple’s relationship so severely during their trip to Mexico, that it sparked an almighty row between the pair, which put an end to their engagement.
After Carlton, 34, revealed poolside to Diamond, 28, that he had dated both men and women in the past, she told him she needed “time to think about this”.
At the pool the next day, Diamond accused Carlton of being “defensive” and gave him back her engagement ring.
Carlton threw the ring in the pool, called Diamond a “b***h” and told her that her “wig was sliding off”.
She responded: “F**k you, you f**ker,” before throwing her drink in Carlton’s face and quoting Beyoncé as she stormed off and said: “Watch my a** to the next d**k, boy.”
Diamond was criticised online for her reaction to Carlton opening up about his sexuality.
Speaking about the moment after filming wrapped, Diamond told People: “I would change the approach of it. I was trying to be very understanding, but I had questions because I’ve never been with a bisexual man.
“I don’t really know that community that well, but I respect the community. I love the community. I just had questions.
“Maybe I should have been more encouraging and maybe start off saying: ‘I’m happy you were able to open up to me. I’m happy you’re able to bring this to my attention at this moment in time.’ Or, ‘I’m happy you came out. I know this is very hard for you to do that.’
“That possibly could have changed that whole outcome of how we were aggressive toward each other.”

Jessica enraged Love Is Blind viewers when she fed her pet golden retriever some of her red wine.
The 34-year-old, who has been struggling with the 10-year age gap between herself and Mark, 24, told the handsome personal trainer that her dog Payton “loves wine”.
She put the glass to Payton’s mouth, before drinking out of it herself moments later.
Viewers were in uproar over the shocking moment and flocked to Twitter to vent their fury.
One social networker fumed: “Love is Blind was already insane but then crazy a** Jessica casually feeds her dog wine from her own glass?! Grapes are already poisonous to dogs and she gives it alcoholic grapes? That’s animal abuse. How did the producers allow this to make the cut, yet alone not report her?”
Commenting on the clip, PETA told MailOnline: “Jessica seems to love and care for Payton and likely doesn’t realise that grapes – from which wine is produced – can be toxic for dogs, whose livers also aren’t equipped to process alcohol.
“PETA encourages sharing other things with dogs – like your sofa, your bed, your free time, and your affection – but encourages all dog guardians to provide their four-legged companions with only fresh drinking water to keep them hydrated.”
Giannini’s brutal sexual insult to Damian

Giannini Gibelli, 25, and Damian Powers, 29, are one of Love Is Blind fans’ favourite couples, thanks to some truly legendary moments.
But it remains to be seen whether the pair will actually head down the aisle together, as they’ve had some bumps along the way.
The pair didn’t quite see eye-to-eye when it came to the physical side of their relationship.
While Damian was happy to take the intimate side of the relationship slowly, Gigi was keen to get down and dirty early on, but she seemed to be left wanting after they had slept together.
She told him she wasn’t completely blown away by the sex in a now-iconic chat.
Gigi told Damian: “You know how you tell me this is the best sex of your life.
“Have you noticed that I don’t return the compliment?”
So brutal!
Jessica and Amber’s passive-aggressive bachelorette chat

The girls’ bachelorette party proved to be far more wild than the guys’ last night of freedom, with the five remaining ladies hiring a stripper for their party bus.
The sloshed fivesome then got even more merry when they headed to a raucous drag show.
Lauren remarked that Jessica was a “Messica,” so perhaps it wasn’t the right time for her to have a heart-to-heart with love rival Amber?
Amber and Jessica’s conversation appeared to be rather cordial, although a slightly more sober Amber, made repeat passive-aggressive jabs at Jessica, making it clear that she didn’t view her as “competition,” when it came to her man, Barnett.
A slurring Jessica then told Amber: “I won’t go after your dude,” before planting a kiss on the lips of her nemesis.
Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix
