For Love Is Blind season 10, the one couple that went to Malibu instead of joining the usual group trip (Vic and Christine) were sent there for a mix of story and production reasons.

Why did one couple go to Malibu on Love Is Blind?

The core reason

The show’s creator explained that Vic and Christine were chosen for a solo Malibu getaway because:

  • They only really connected with each other in the pods and didn’t have other serious romantic overlaps that needed on‑camera “closure.”
  • The Mexico (or Cabo) trip is usually where couples confront unresolved feelings or drama with other pod connections, but this pair didn’t have those lingering issues.
  • Their relationship was already in a strong “romantic bubble,” so production decided to lean into a private, distraction‑free retreat instead of mixing them into the group.

The creator said their reaction was exactly what was hoped for: they were simply happy to be together and didn’t care if it was Malibu or Mexico, as long as they had time alone.

Behind‑the‑scenes / production angle

Reports also point to a practical, production‑side explanation:

  • The show usually only sends a limited number of engaged couples on the main trip, for budget and storyline reasons.
  • Since Vic and Christine were very focused on each other (and therefore potentially lower‑drama with exes), they made sense as the couple to spin off into a separate Malibu storyline.

In other words, they were both a “good match” and a cleaner, cheaper narrative choice than asking the show to follow them in the same way as the other group.

What Malibu meant for their story

In interviews, Vic and Christine described Malibu as:

  • Three days of distraction‑free time on the California coast, where they kept talking like they did in the pods and stayed in their “happy little bubble.”
  • A chance to deepen their emotional connection without phones, outside noise, or other couples around.

They later said the Malibu trip didn’t fundamentally change their relationship’s trajectory, but it gave them a rare, calm stretch of time together before rejoining everyone back in Ohio.

Mini TL;DR

  • They went to Malibu instead of Mexico because they had no real ex‑drama to resolve and were already very locked in on each other.
  • Production also had to limit how many couples they followed on the main trip, and Malibu was a way to still feature them while managing budget and story.
  • The couple loved it; they just wanted quiet time together and were happy to go anywhere as long as they were alone.
