Some big Spoiler Alerts are ahead if you haven't seen the season finale of Minnesota 'Love Is Blind.'

At the beginning of Season 8, Mason was torn between two ladies who were so different from one another. 28-year-old artist Madison Errichiello, originally from Indiana wasn't afraid to show her flirty side to Mason. On the other side of the wall, 31-year-old oncology nurse Meg Fink bonded with Mason over very similar interests, including top movies.

Both of Mason's connections broke up with him in the pods. However, he couldn't get over the connection he built with Meg Fink on Love Is Blind. So, away from the cameras and lights, Mason and Meg made their own special reveal. It's super cute! Here's the clip from the reunion episode:

Even after meeting and dating briefly, Mason and Meg decided to remain friends. You have to give this South Dakota guy a lot of credit. Mason Horacek opened his heart to both ladies on national TV, revealing that he's been hesitant to find love after previous relationships left him for other people. And for the most part, Mason did the show on his terms. Although Madison Errichiello sounded like she still has some unresolved feelings towards Mason...Sometimes, we don't need to know every single detail of someone's life in a reality dating show. This is someone's real life at the end of the day.

During the Minnesota Love Is Blind Reunion special, Mason says he is no longer willing to date someone on reality TV. There was too much "pressure."

 "If I ever get married, I want to be with my partner for a good two, three years maybe. Just to make sure we can work things out throughout an extended period before we commit. I'm not trying to get married in a month anymore, learned my lesson there!"

Thanks for sharing your heart and story, Mason! South Dakota will always cheer you on!
