On Tuesday’s episode ofTamron Hall, theLove Is Blindsweethearts — who helped make the Netflix reality dating show a phenomenon during its inaugural season — opened up about their beginnings on the series and the first time they met in person after getting engaged in the pods.
For Cameron, 33, he couldn’t help but gush about Lauren’s appearance — even behind closed doors.
“I remember seeing, like through the plexiglass doors that open up in that reveal, this sort of silhouette and I was like ‘That can’t be her,'" he recalled. “I thought it was a cutout, like a cardboard cutout.”

“But it was really her and I just — when I saw her, you can see it on the show, I’m just like… my eyes bugged out," he continued.
Thinking back on the moment from her perspective, Lauren, 36, added, “Oh my God. I was so nervous, Tamron.”
She explained that since they were among the first set of couples to launch the hit series, she “didn’t know what to expect.”
“But when they opened [the doors] during the reveal ceremony, he was so handsome. Like I said in the show, he was literally like Prince Charming to me," Lauren added. “One, because of all the things he was saying, how he was treating me and because he’s easy on the eyes. So, I was happy.”
