“The primary concern was that he knew what I looked like during the experiment,” she says. “I’m guilty, too, of judging people off their looks and I’m sure that’s been done to me. I wanted that to be completely removed from this entire situation. Hence, Love is Blind. So the thought of that very premise being compromised was terrifying to me.”
She took her concerns directly to Daniel, who denied the alleged Instagram activity—and that’s where Love Is Blind producers chose to wrap up episode six. It left fans with a lot of questions: Did Daniel know Taylor’s identity before joining the show? Was Taylor right about Daniel’s fireplace photo? And most importantly: Will they continue their romance in Honduras or return home to their families early?
While Taylor was not sleep deprived enough to spoil the next batch of episodes, she shared her thought on the cliffhanger, revealed her unseen connection with another controversial contestant, and sent a message to fans who are in their feelings about Daniel.
Glamour: So, you just watched the first six episodes of your season. What are your initial thoughts?
Taylor Haag: I wish there was a little bit more of my own story included, but it was fun to see everyone else’s story. Of course, we’re on the other side of the wall for all of these dates, and to be a fly on the wall and to see a glimpse into everyone else’s love stories was really fun.
Your connection with Daniel was obviously very strong very quickly—he even got down on one knee during your first date. Did you have any other connections we didn’t see?
Daniel was obviously always my strongest connection and my number one since day one, but I really put a lot of weight in what production was telling us every day. Like, ‘Don’t cut off other connections too early. Keep options open, keep talking to people, keep seeking love in other places than the obvious choice.’ So I did have other connections.
I dated Dave for a short time. I dated Scott for a short time. None of that was included. But Daniel was always the overwhelming number one for me, and it was very obvious for both of us that we were each other’s person.
So, Dave got around a little bit.
I was in the final three for him, between Molly and Lauren. Lauren is one of my best friends from all of it, so she kind of let me in on what was going on. I kind of stayed to myself in the pod scenario—I didn’t share really who I was dating and what was going on in my world. So likewise, I didn’t know a lot about other girls dating situations. But yes, Dave was a part of the scenario at one point.
Lauren was pretty affected by Molly’s declarations about her relationship with Dave. Did you have any feelings about that, considering you were also dating Dave?
