The act of falling in love at first sight works a little differently on Love Is Blind, an experiment in which love infamously comes before first sight. Still, more often than not, love at first sight feels like the best way to describe what happens when the show’s daters finally come face-to-face — or, sometimes, lust at first sight — and many, many tears at first sight.

From pod proposals and love triangles to real-world stressors (and even more love triangles), Love Is Blind isn’t short on pure, chaotic reality TV goodness, but those first post-engagement meet-cutes are a genuine romantic highlight sandwiched between all the drama. All the nerves and excitement! The first kisses and hugs! (And a few first butt gropes!) Very beautiful people crying over other very beautiful people!

Below, enjoy a spoiler-free sneak peek of this season’s confessionals, entrances and emotional, first-glance reactions — and just see if you can piece together which of the couples might be the next Lauren and Cameron.
