The finale of Love is Blind: Germany was released on January 17, 2025. Episode 8 titled, Anything can happen at the Altar, saw couples reunite to determine whether the love found in the pods could withstand the pressures of the real world.

Previously, during episode 4 the engaged couples were sent to Greece after their time in the pods. Despite being engaged to other people, Ilias and Hanni seemingly flirted with each other when they came face to face, creating tension among the group.

During the finale, Hanni, engaged to Daniel, chose to walk away at the altar. Meanwhile, Ilias tied the knot with Alina, despite some lingering doubts. Fans of Love is Blind: Germany shared their reactions on X (formerly Twitter), with many questioning Alina’s decision to marry Ilias.

"Alina saying yes to Ilias first and actually marrying him… one small step for man, one GIANT LOSS for women," a fan wrote.
"Alina, I can't believe that you really wanted to marry Ilias until the bitter end. Unfortunately so naive, Miss imma stick beside him no matter what," one fan commented.
"Ilias and Alina are the ones that said “I do”?! WTF?! I hope the reunion shows she left his creepy as*," another X user wrote.
"Ilias is going to cheat on Alina everyday that God will create," one netizen said.

Some fans of Love is Blind: Germany speculated about Ilias facing Hanni in the reunion episode.

"Of course Ilias said yes. Being rejected by Hanni was his reminder that in the real world, his acne-riddled mug can’t pull the pretty girls he actually wants. Getting Alina to fall for him, sight unseen, was the best thing that could’ve ever happened to him," another fan wrote.
"So Ilias and Alina were the only ones to get married. Lol. I didn’t even think they should get married. I wonder if they’re still together. I doubt it," another fan said.
