The pods are open again as Love is Blind: Germany premiered the first four episodes of the show on Netflix on Jan 04, 2025. 30 individuals have signed up to try their luck to fall in love, sight unseen.

The hosts, Stephanie “Steffi” Brungs and Christian Wackert Brungs welcomed the participants and helped them get settled before their first round of 15 dates.

It is a show that invites singles from across the country to find their forever after based on their personality and the connection they make rather than judging them by their looks. The cast members enter the pods, where physical appearances remain a mystery to engage in heartfelt conversations.

Over the span of several days, they decide if they have built a connection strong enough to commit to for a lifetime. If so, then they get engaged without knowing what their partners look like and finally step out of the pod to meet their fiancés and try their bond in the real world.

Let's find out who found a connection in episode one of Love is Blind: Germany.


What happened on Love is Blind: Germany Episode 1?

The episode started with a compiled clip of all the contestants talking about why they are on the show and what they are looking for in their potential partner. Soon after, the viewers get a sneak peek of the season, making it more interesting and intriguing for the viewers.


The pods open for first dates

After meeting the hosts of Love is Blind: Germany, it is time for the singles to go on dates in search of their future spouses. The episode initially focuses on Alina, a 28-year-old spiritual person who seems to identify someone's personality based on their 'star sign'.

Soon, Hanni, a real estate broker, takes over the limelight as she talks about how she is happy to be behind the walls of the pods, as men have never taken her seriously because of her blond hair and blue eyes.


Ilias builds some strong connections

Her first date was with Ilias, who is in the same profession as hers. The two seem to hit it off immediately, as the Love is Blind: Germany star couldn't stop laughing and smiling the whole time.

Ilias then moved on to Alina and they both connected as they shared the same star sign, Gemini. Ilias opens up to her and talks about his fear of flying and how he is not much of a spiritual person himself. Love is Blind: Germany's Ilias believes Alina is too good to be true as he has found nothing about her that doesn't work for him.

While Hanni did make a connection with Ilais, she is getting closer and more comfortable around Daniel. This is when she decides to break up with Ilias to give her undivided attention to Daniel. Though the two hit a small rock when Love is Blind: Germany star reveals how she has never said I love you to anyone. On their next date, as she opens up about her struggles with her parents' separation, the bond between the two grows.

Right before the episode wraps up, Daniel decides not to wait and ends up being on one knee asking Hanni to marry him. The 28-year-old jumps up and down as she says yes.
