While things took an even more explosive twist when Cameron and Lauren along with Matt Barnett and Amber Pike were the only couples out of five to say ‘I do.’
The hit Netflix  series followed 30 men and women as they built connections in different pods without ever seeing each other; during that speed dating-process, the contestants were allowed to propose to each other whenever they chose.
Once couples became engaged, they were allowed to meet for the first time, resulting in a romantic getaway to Mexico, moving into their own apartment together and meeting each other’s families ahead of their wedding in days.
And from the 30 original couples, the quest for love didn’t result in a happy ending, with only five engaged couples moving on to the romantic retreat in Mexico.
