To build excitement for the season, host Vanessa asked Alex what it was about living in Minneapolis that made him struggle to find "the one" and ultimately decide, "I'm going to go on Love Is Blind." Explaining his situation and dating life in Minneapolis Alex answered:

"I personally just prioritized other things in my life, and work and friends and travel. It's such a small community. It's not like a major city, but it's also not a small town. So you kind of see the same people over and over, and it's a small bar scene, so. Yeah, I just never found the right person that clicked for me, but I'm excited to ... to be here."

Even if they didn't lead to engagement, I learned a lot about myself."
