Looking to get out of the living room “pod” to watch season 9 of Love is Blind? Match drinks and drama at these watch parties, perfect for fans and newbies

The ninth season of Love is Blind premieres Oct. 1, where viewers will see whether its more difficult to climb a Colorado 14er or make it to the altar after getting engaged “sight unseen.” 

The show travels to a different city each season, this time people from the Denver area will be featured, and features a cast of 16 single men and 16 single women.

Those on the show will test if their love is truly blind by being put into pods as they date, then get engaged before seeing each other face to face.

Then the engaged couples will live with each other before the wedding day, seeing if they are really ready to go the full mile. 

Will these couples be able to endure sitting in Interstate 70 traffic for ski trips every weekend, choosing which Subaru should be the first family car or disagreements over local craft beer? Will outdoor gear spending habits be a dealbreaker?
