Love Is Blind Season 11 Reunion Is Out on Netflix, and the Boston Breakup Is Back in Focus
The reunion episode for Love Is Blind Season 11 is now streaming on Netflix. It launched on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 6 p.m. PT (9 p.m. ET), and it brings the Boston cast back together after the season aired.
The season is set in Boston, and it has one story that most viewers will remember. Rob Feeley and Michaella Giorgio ended their engagement in the weeks before their wedding. According to Netflix's Tudum, Michaella called off the engagement after what she described as a "meltdown" by Rob. The split followed an outburst at a St. Patrick's Day mixer.
The moment at the centre of it happened in a bar. Rob's friend was cut off by the bartender, and Rob yelled at the production crew to "cut the cameras." Rob later gave E! Online his own account of the crash-out, which he explained in an interview published on Oct. 29.
The series creator, Chris Coelen, who is also CEO of Kinetic Content, chose to leave that outburst in the final cut. In a Variety interview published on Nov. 9, he said the scene shows who Rob was in that moment.
Michaella told Variety she never felt physically unsafe during filming or production. She also said that her choices to leave with Rob were 100% her own.
Season 11 had one wedding, and it was not Rob and Michaella's. Sarah Williams and John Shannon were the only couple who said "I do." Their marriage did not last. Variety reports that they split after Shannon was caught texting with an escort.
Seasons 10 and 11 each featured only one couple getting married. That is a smaller number than a viewer might expect from a show built around the idea of couples getting engaged, but the format has produced that result in both recent seasons, according to Variety.
Netflix also promoted the reunion before it went live. Its Tudum site ran an exclusive watch party where fans could see the reunion episode early, and the show's official page lists a Boston reunion teaser and a Boston trailer among its Season 11 material.
For viewers who followed the season, the reunion is where the cast's accounts of the breakups and the bar scene come together. For the people who make the show, it is the last piece of the season to air. The reunion is now available on Netflix, and it is the final episode of Season 11 that most viewers will see.
