Love Is Blind star Madison Errichiello gave the Netflix experiment her all — meaning nothing was off the table.
The post contains spoilers from Love Is Blind season 8.
Madison, who is 28 years old, became part of the new lineup on the well-known Netflix dating program when the LiB pods made their way to Minneapolis in the spring of 2024. Following the premiere of the latest season a year later on Friday, February 14, she took some time to reflect on the more intense moments shown on the screen.
In a short amount of time, the artist established strong bonds with Alex Brown and Mason Horacek. The audience witnessed Madison and 29-year-old Alex connecting over significant family issues while she and 33-year-old Mason discovered shared interests in the arts and engaged in a playful, flirtatious exchange.
According to Madison, she doesn’t regret discussing her intimate preferences in the pods.
Madison shared her thoughts via an Instagram Story post on Saturday, February 15, expressing, “The show is edited to portray two different sides of me, and each of the guys brought out unique aspects of my personality. Alex encouraged deeper discussions, whereas Mason brought out a more fun and playful side. However, what viewers get to see is just a small fraction of the overall conversations we shared.”
She continued, “I’m not afraid to talk about things related to sex and prefer to be open about it.”
That being said, Madison explained that her bond with Mason also transcended the physical.
“I promise that we had more than just a flirty connection,” she stressed in a follow-up Instagram Story upload. “We connected a lot on being creatives. It’s just not shown in the edit.”
While both men were all-in on Madison — Mason also connected with Meg Fink sight unseen — she was feeling a stronger pull toward Alex. However, their differing attachment styles caused concern for Alex, who wasn’t sure whether he was ready to propose by the end of the 10-day pod experiment.
At the end of the journey — spoiler alert — Madison broke up with Mason before Alex called it quits on their side. According to another social media message, Madison said that she “actually” wasn’t surprised that Alex didn’t end up proposing.
“The day before our break up I told him that I wasn’t quite ready to say ‘I love you’ and that I think we still had a ways to go in our relationship,” she explained. “This didn’t make the edit, but by no means did I expect a proposal. I was open to it, but we just never got there.”
All in all, Madison left the pods with “no regrets.”
“I’m sure I could have handled certain situations differently, but overall I don’t think that would have changed the outcome of anything,” she reflected on Saturday. “What happened was meant to happen, even if it was a little messy.”
While Madison, Alex and Mason all left the pods single, five couples did get engaged sight unseen: Daniel Hasting and Taylor Haag, Monica Danús and Joey Leveille, Dave Bettenburg and Lauren O’Brien, Sara Carton and Ben Mezzenga, as well as Devin Buckley and Virginia Miller. Time will tell who makes it down the aisle and — more importantly — who says “I do.”
