Love can be cruel, especially when it makes you suffer through five episodes with a man who won’t stop talking about his big old inheritance. That human is art dealer Leo Braudy, who somehow had a Wikipedia page before the filming of this season of Love Is Blind, proving he’s the real (rich) deal. He got engaged to Brittany Wisniewski and was head over heels in love with her (after he got rejected by Hannah Jiles). Brittany couldn’t muster up the courage to say “I love you” to Leo during their reveal, which may have contributed to why producers decided not to follow their story— the title card shared the couple broke up shortly after filming. But they would’ve been messy, reality tv gold if they kept going! And Leo could’ve told even more people how rich he was.
But to the BTS team, none of the mess matters. LIB mastermind Chris Coelen told Variety that they make their decision on who’s most likely to make it to the altar and say, “I do.” “When we make that decision as to who to follow, if we have more couples that got engaged, we make a decision as to which couples we think are authentic,” he explained. “And when I say authentic, I mean most authentically likely to actually be at the altar and say I do. Who is really genuinely on that path? We felt, at the time, that the six couples we did end up following were the ones that felt more, on a gut level, had a real shot to say “I do” — that they were really invested in saying “I do.” The couple that I think we felt least likely to do that were Leo and Brittany. So, we made a decision not to follow them after the pods ended.” Ok, but at the reunion, can someone make sure to ask Leo if he’s rich? Not sure based on the episodes.
