This season has been less about who is right or wrong in any argument and more about the tactics they use to fight each other.

By all accounts, Love Is Blind: UK season two is one of the most successful endings we've ever seen. All of the couples except for one are now married, and even the pair who didn't get married parted on an "it's not a no - it's when we're ready."
