One couple in Love Is Blind didn’t go to Mexico because production could only afford to send six couples on the usual Cabo trip, so they sent that pair on a separate Malibu getaway instead and framed it as a special “romantic bubble” experience.

What actually happened

  • In the latest season, seven couples got engaged in the pods, which is more than usual.
  • The show has a long‑standing limit: they typically only follow five or six couples beyond the pods because of production and budget constraints.
  • This time, they wanted to feature all seven, but the budget still only stretched to sending six couples to Mexico.
  • As a workaround, producers chose one couple (Vic and Christine in Season 10) to skip Mexico and instead go on a private trip to Malibu , largely off‑camera except for some self-shot footage.

Why that couple was chosen

Producers and the show’s creator have given two main reasons:

  1. Budget and logistics
    • They’ve said outright that they “simply didn’t have the budget” to send seven couples to Mexico, only six.
 * Following an extra couple means extra crew, travel, lodging, and filming costs, which the show wasn’t set up to handle beyond their usual cap.
  1. Storyline and drama dynamics
    • The Mexico trip is partly used so couples can confront “unresolved threads” with other people they dated in the pods.
 * Vic and Christine were described as being in their own “romantic bubble” with **no messy overlapping connections** or lingering drama with the rest of the cast, so producers felt they were the easiest pair to send off on a solo trip without breaking key storylines in Mexico.

How the show framed it

  • On-screen, it’s presented as a special, intimate getaway rather than “you didn’t get invited to Mexico.”
  • The couple reportedly reacted positively and were just happy to spend time together, whether in Malibu or Mexico.
  • Fans online have debated whether the explanation is purely budget or also about editing choices and drama management , but the official line is a mix of resource limits and narrative structure.

Forum-style takeaway

If you’re seeing posts or threads titled something like “love is blind why did one couple not go to Mexi… ~~” , they’re almost certainly talking about:

  • The one couple who skipped Mexico and went to Malibu instead.
  • The official reason: production budget + only room for six couples in Mexico.
  • The storytelling reason: their relationship didn’t tie into the big group drama, so they were easier to separate from the main Mexico narrative.

Bottom line: it wasn’t a secret breakup or scandal. It was a budget cap plus producer storytelling priorities , repackaged as a “special solo trip.”
