Over several weeks, the newly engaged couples will move in together, plan their wedding and find out if their physical connection matches their strong emotional bond developed in the Pods.
When their wedding day arrives, will real-world realities and external factors push them apart, or will they marry the person they fell blindly in love with?
Hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey, this 10-episode season will uncover whether looks, race or age do matter, or if love really is blind.
The fifth season returns with a new group of Houston singles ready to hit the pods and find love.

In the most shocking season yet, the singles face new challenges, unexpected twists and surprising turns that will test their personal resolve, and the strength of their connections, more than ever before.
Even if the couples can forge a strong enough bond to get engaged sight unseen, can their love survive the challenges waiting for them in the outside world — including protective families, skeptical friends, and the exes they thought they'd left behind?

Uprooted to a neighbourhood and bussed into a primarily white middle school two hours away by his strict, hard-working parents, Chris struggles to find his place, all while keeping his younger brother and sister in line at home and surmounting the tests of junior high school.
In the Season 3 premiere, "Everybody Hates the Guidance Counselor": After Chris tests poorly on a standard exam, his teacher, Ms. Morello, refers him to the school's guidance counselor, Mr. Abbott (played by Chris Rock).
Although Chris tries to explain that the whole situation is a big mistake and he didn't understand the importance of the test, Mr. Abbott puts him through a series of mental evaluations and eventually determines that Chris must attend a remedial class.
