Blake Anderson exited season 9 of Love Is Blind early but didn’t expand on his reason for leaving until now.

Warning: Spoilers below from the first six episodes of Love Is Blind season 9.

During the first two episodes of the new season, which premiered on Wednesday, October 1, Anna Yuan left the experiment without telling her connections, one of which was Blake. Shortly after her departure, Blake walked away from the pods, telling the cameras, “Last night was a little bit of a wake-up call. I love this experiment, it’s been incredible, but, like, I don’t know if it makes sense to continue.”

Now that his exit has aired on the Netflix series, Blake is opening up more about his real reason for leaving before giving love a real chance.
