The Love Is Blind season 9 reunion is sure to be explosive if the trailer is any indication.
“She had the audacity to tell me that we are eskimo sisters,” Madison Maidenberg, 28, told ex-fiancé Joe Ferrucci in a Friday, October 24, clip, referring to the slang term about two women who share a mutual ex and without naming her apparent source.
Joe, 29, quickly laughed before the trailer highlighted the other former pod couples — no one got married in season 9 in a franchise first — sharing glimpses of their post-breakup updates.
Joe called off his engagement to Madison ahead of their planned wedding day, citing that they simply weren’t a match after abruptly running out of his tux fitting. In the months since Love Is Blind wrapped, Madison claimed that Joe had flirted with costar Kacie McIntosh after the breakup.
‘Love Is Blind’ Season 9 Reunion Looks: Madison and More Dress to Impress
During an appearance on the “Love to See It” podcast earlier this month, Madison claimed that she was told that friends saw Kacie, 34, out at a bar with Joe. (Kacie was engaged to Patrick Suzuki for only a few hours earlier this season, which didn’t make it out of the pod reveal tunnel.)
During the reunion teaser, Kacie was even asked whether she dated another member of the pod squad.
“After meeting everyone, was there anyone else in the pod squad that you started dating?” cohost Vanessa Lachey asked Kacie, who attempted to dodge the question with a filler “um.”
While Kacie played coy about whether she dated Joe, his current girlfriend has confirmed their alleged past association.

“When Joe and I started talking — I think it was our first date — we were at a bar and ran into this girl, and he’s like, ‘Oh you know I’ve gone on a couple dates with that girl,” Averee Madison claimed on the “Reality Receipts” podcast earlier this week, denying any relationship overlap. “I was like, ‘Who?’ and I look over and, of course, it’s Kacie. I was like, ‘Oh, OK.’”
According to Averee, Joe had been “fully transparent” about his brief post-pod romance with Kacie.
“I mean, I personally choose to surround myself with women that lift each other up and, like, follow girl code and that will never be Kacie,” Averee claimed, denying she’s on amicable terms with the hairstylist. “That’s not what I want in a room with me and I guess all I’ll say is, like, Joe getting a girlfriend did not stop her from continuously trying. It was just one of those [things] where she just wanted to know, I think, that she could have him or, like, get him still.”

Kacie also came face-to-face with ex-fiancé Patrick, 31, during the reunion, who asked in the clip (once again) whether she would return her show-provided engagement ring.
“I have the ring with me,” Kacie said, referring to Patrick’s onscreen allegations that she wanted to keep the diamond despite ending her engagement.
The tell-all reunion also features former couples Anton Yarosh and Ali Lima, Edmond L. Harvey and Kalybriah Haskin, Nick Amato and Annie Lancaster, as well as Jordan Keltner and “Sparkle Megan” Walerius rehashing their own messy breakups. Megan, 35, will even share a “surprise” after viral fan photos of herself with a mystery man and a baby.
The Love Is Blind season 9 reunion airs Wednesday, October 29, at 9 p.m. ET.
