Love Is Blind season 4, specifically because one of the “lost engagements” involved Josh Demas, who ended up moving forward with Jackie Bonds after the fact. It became public knowledge that they cut some engaged couples from filming their journeys.

In an Instagram post, Paige dropped the bombshell immediately. “We got engaged,” she wrote. Paige continued with a heartfelt message describing their connection, referring to themselves as their “first pod dates” and “number one picks” since the experience started.

The Love Is Blind star then went on to say that she and Josh had full intentions of saying, “I do,” and planned their wedding together following the show. Then, in a plot twist moment, Paige divulged, “We made the hardest decision to end our engagement.” Even though they did not get their unfilmed altar moment, she was sure to add that they are “grateful” to have found one another.

Paige & Josh's Love Is Blind Season 5 Relationship Explained

Because much of Paige and Josh's pod conversations and subsequent engagement weren't aired for Love Is Blind viewers to see, there was only a little to say about their story until now. Fans took to the comments section Paige's Instagram post to express their anger over the situation. @stephaniecarroll3 questioned why it wasn't shown and then said the plan is to "boycott" the show for hiding the storyline. @ariannadantone, an Instagram influencer, agreed, writing, "Netflix COUNT UR DAYS for not showing us this." Another fan told Paige that viewers suspected she would get engaged to Izzy, who ended up proposing to Stacy.

Love Is Blind does cut a number of couples from each season, and until now, it seemed that only occurred when more than five couples were in this situation. However, that strategy doesn't quite add up for the Love Is Blind season 5 cast. For this season, only three proposals and couples aired, which led to the impression that those were the only contestants who found blind love. It remains unknown why production opted out of including Paige and Josh. Perhaps one of them decided they didn't want to be filmed beyond the pods (although unlikely), or the more probable guess would be that maybe their producers didn't see them lasting.

Another lost engagement has been found; this time, it is Love Is Blind season 5's Paige and Josh. Paige didn't acknowledge whether she even knew why their love story was cut from the show, but she may reveal that information considering the overload of fan confusion. The show's creator often discloses information that fans are seeking, so now that the news has broken, he might provide the explanation. It's understood that Love Is Blind can't fit enough filming and weddings for more than five couples, but it is strange that Paige and Josh were cut, considering there are only two couples Love Is Blind is following, the lowest number the series has seen.

Love Is Blind season 5 streams Fridays on Netflix.
