  Love Is Blind Season 11 Cast: Hottest Rookies Ever? | Rookie Breakdown Part 1 02.10.2026 1Std. 20Min.

  Love Is Blind Season 11 heads to Boston, and Game of Roses is scouting the first 15 of 30 rookies by their Instagrams. Who is a main character, who is a forgotten, and is this the hottest cast the pods have ever seen?BachelorClues and PaceCase go alphabetically through the first half of the Love Is Blind Season 11 cast, checking follower counts, official cast photos, and Netflix bios to predict who makes the edit. Insurance agent Benita Paloja, the follower leader at around 10,000, gets called a massive main character, and skincare entrepreneur Jacqueline "Jax" Guelli and her dressed-up dogs earn the same tag. Yacht captain Blake Carver, HR generalist Cam Halloran, and account executive John Shannon look like forgottens. Along the way: Amenawon Johnson's Overwatch cosplay, attorney Brittany Bianco as a possible match for the boat guy, Diana Perrone's pumpkin heads, Jay Robinson's Celtics championship ring, Kerry Cashman's height storyline, and night-shift NICU nurse Liz Rounds, where the hosts split. With two thirds of the cast headed for the cutting room floor, the math is brutal.CHAPTERS(00:00) Love Is Not Blind(01:10) Bidness: I Love Cleveland Merch(02:28) 30 Rookies, 10 Slots(03:21) Amenawon Johnson(07:06) Aneha Singh(11:22) Benita Paloja(18:33) Blake Carver(22:05) Brittany Bianco(26:40) Cam Halloran(30:23) Diana Perrone(34:32) Erika Ellis(35:36) Jacqueline "Jax" Guelli(43:51) Jenn Mouser(50:43) John Shannon(53:59) Jonathan "Jay" Robinson(01:01:03) Kara Grumoli(01:06:00) Kerry Cashman(01:10:03) Liz Rounds(01:17:15) The Two-Thirds Cut(01:19:16) What's NextEPISODE FAQWho does Game of Roses think will be a main character on Love Is Blind Season 11?BachelorClues and PaceCase both pick Benita Paloja, the Boston insurance agent with the largest Instagram following of the first 15 rookies, and Jacqueline "Jax" Guelli, who owns a skincare company.Where does Love Is Blind Season 11 take place?Love Is Blind Season 11 is set in Boston, though the hosts note several rookies' Instagram bios list Rhode Island, New Hampshire, or Charleston too.Which Love Is Blind Season 11 rookies does Game of Roses call forgottens?In Part 1, BachelorClues calls Erika Ellis, Jenn Mouser, John Shannon, J Robinson, and Liz Rounds forgottens, with Blake Carver, Cam Halloran, and Diana Perrone on the bubble.
