Meet the cast of Love Is Blind season 7
People from all walks of life entered the pods, but who found their match?
***Warning: Spoilers for Love Is Blind season 7***
Love Is Blind season 7 is almost over and as the reunion approaches, were feeling reminiscent.
The new season landed on Netflix at the beginning of October, launching a new group of contestants – this time based in Washington, DC – into the pods to find love, sight unseen.
But the road to true love has been far from smooth for many of this season's contestants as love triangles, shock revelations, messy breakups and plenty of twists rocked the experiment.
Only two couples, Garrett and Taylor, and Ashley and Tyler, out of the six engaged couples actually made it to the aisle. For most, love was not enough after facing a number of trials together – from meeting the family to living together in shared apartments.
With the season 7 reunion airing this week (30th October), now's your last chance to remind yourself about the cast of the reality show.

Occupation: Tech sales

A Ukrainian refugee, Bohdan is proud of his heritage.
"My parents brought me to [this country], so I think I’ve made them proud by fulfilling what they came here to do," he tells Tudum. He says it's important to him that a future partner embraces his heritage and that they're not a picky eater.
"If you're just eating chicken nuggets all day and not open to trying other foods, then I don’t want it," he said.
David
Age: 29
Occupation: Project manager

Garrett

Instagram: @garrettjosemans
When it comes to love, there's a level of science involved, and no one knows that better than quantum physicist Garrett. "I have not had any luck on the dating scene," he said. "I’ve worked myself into this corner where I don’t put any effort to meet women." Outside of work, he enjoy spearfishing — but will he catch any luck?
Jason
Age: 30
Occupation: Loan officer
Instagram: N/A
Jason says he spent his twenties "wasting time on the wrong girls," but now he's hit the big 3-0, he's hoping to settle down and start a family. "I’ve been very timid and not entirely put myself out there," he admits. But if he wants a partner, one thing he might want to improve is his texting game. He said: "My worst habit is being a terrible texter. I’m not great at communicating when I’m busy."
Leo
Age: 31
Occupation: Art dealer
Instagram: @leo_braudy
When Leo isn't running his family's art-dealing business, he's embracing his spirituality. "I’m really into yoga and meditating," he said. "I have a real crunchy part to me which people don’t often see day-to-day." While he usually goes for "girly girls" Leo is keeping his options open.
Nick D
Age: 29
Occupation: Real estate agent
Instagram: @nicholasdorka
It's fair to say that dormer American football player and current real estate agent Nick is feeling pretty confident about things. "I’m the perfect version of myself right now, and the next step in this journey is to find the perfect wife," he said. Most important for him is to find a woman who will "add value" to his life.
Nick P
Age: 31
Occupation: Commercial real estate brokerage
Instagram: @poppapugh
Nick is a hopeless romantic and is looking to switch up his dating strategy to find a future wife in the pods.
A proud father to his 9-year-old child, Nick said: "I've only formed deep connections with women who've checked off the physical box. I've been looking for 'the one' through the wrong lens."
He hopes to find someone who will fully embrace him and his child. "He's my why," said Nick. "Every step he takes, every amount he grows, in any fashion, I am completely tickled."
Perry
Age: 31
Occupation: Realtor

After six months of single life in DC, Perry has been seeking other options for finding a life-long partner. Having dated for years trying to find that "special person", it hasn't always been what he had hoped for.

Ramses
Age: 35
Occupation: Programme associate at justice reform non-profit
Instagram: @ramsesprashad
Ramses has plenty of experience in love, having been married once before. "My first marriage came to an end because, ultimately, we just grew in different directions, and it was what was best for both of us," he said.
Four years on, Ramses is healed and is heading into the experiment with an even clearer understanding of the woman he wants to spend his life with.

After planting roots in DC, Raymond is searching for a life-long partner who can appreciate all sides of his personality.
"I just want people to know that I'm a complex human being," he said. "I love that I'm multiracial, so it's kind of hard to put a tab on me."
Stephen
Age: 34
Occupation: Electrician
Instagram: @officialrichardson
When it comes to love, Stephen hasn't always been able to make it work past the two year mark, which has pushed him to find a long-lasting connection in the pods.
"My type is a woman who wants you, but doesn't need you," he said.
Tamar

"My friends have always joked that my dating life has been like a reality show," said Tim. "They're like, 'Oh, Tim's dating someone else this year!'"

Tyler
Age: 34
Occupation: Account manager
Instagram: @tylerlfrancis

Brittany

In the pods, Brittany is looking for a real commitment with a future-oriented partner who appreciates jet-setting and stability equally.
Dylan
Age: 30

Instagram: @drillaaa
The key to Dylan's heart is understanding and embracing her weirdness, according to her. "I'm that crazy fun friend people bring around to have a good time and do something out of their element," she said.
But after years of dating chaos, Dylan is ready to tap back into her inner peace.
Hannah
Age: 27
Occupation: Medical device sales

Katie
Age: 36
Occupation: Sports marketing manager
Instagram: @kbo15_
Katie has a history of chasing emotionally unavailable men and trying to turn them into the ideal partner.
