Attention, reality TV enthusiasts! Get ready for an exciting twist in this season of "Love Is Blind"—the show is making its way to Ohio! If you thought you had no reason to watch, think again! On February 11, a fresh batch of hopeful singles from the Buckeye State's largest cities—Cleveland, Columbus, and our very own Cincinnati—will be introduced. Netflix has unveiled the cast for Season 10, but we did some digging to discover which contestants hail from the Queen City.
Let’s dive into the details:
First up is Elissa, a 39-year-old nurse on a quest for love. She’s looking for someone who can handle her penchant for backseat driving and, crucially, her two affectionate cats and a dog. Elissa juggles her career as a registered nurse between working as an aesthetic injector at a local med spa and serving part-time in the ICU. Her social media reflects her enthusiasm for the Cincinnati Bengals, showcasing her local pride.
Next, we have Priyanka, who is 34 years old and also a fan of the Bengals. Having spent over a decade single, she works as a recruiter and describes herself as someone who has successfully built her life from the ground up in various major cities. However, her online presence reveals her roots at Miami University, where she still cherishes time spent in the Tri-State area.
Tyler, aged 33, is employed in sales at Procter & Gamble right here in Cincinnati. Like many of us, he admits that his biggest hurdle in dating is his tendency to stay cozy at home rather than venturing out. "I hope that one day my ideal partner will come knocking on my door to wake me up. It’s me, not Ohio, that’s the issue," he shared, adding a touch of humor to his dating dilemma.
Another notable contestant is Christine, a 31-year-old speech-language pathologist who seems to have an extensive travel history across Ohio. Our research suggests she currently lives in Cleveland and attended the University of Cincinnati, further connecting her to the region.
Meet Connor, who is 32 and an Ohio University graduate working as an account manager in Cincinnati. He mentions in his bio the importance of family traditions, particularly their yearly trips to Grandpa's Cheesebarn—a quirky activity his future partner must embrace.
Then there's Miguel, also 32, who brings a unique background to the table. Originally from Puerto Rico, he came to the mainland thanks to a basketball scholarship and eventually settled in Cincinnati for work. Although his social media suggests he’s based in Columbus, Miguel has been a software engineer at Procter & Gamble in Cincinnati since graduating college. He candidly expressed that he finds the local dating scene to be somewhat insular, leading him to travel considerable distances for dates.
Completing our lineup of Cincinnati contestants is Tyler H., who is 32 and works as a management consultant. He is on the lookout for someone who makes him feel youthful and vibrant. Netflix notes that Tyler has already traveled to 18 countries, highlighting his adventurous spirit.
And let’s not overlook Nick Lachey, a proud Cincinnati native and the charismatic host of "Love Is Blind," alongside his wife, Vanessa. One has to wonder if he played a role in bringing this Ohio-themed season to life!
