Sam left Are You The One season 9 because of personal reasons. Sam took to Instagram to share many reasons for his departure.
Are You the One? is an American reality television series featuring young singles looking for love mixes. The group of men and women are secretly matched into couples via a matchmaking algorithm.
The participants try to identify all perfect matches while living together and if they succeed, the entire group will share a cash prize of up to $1 million.
The ninth season is also the first to feature former beauty pageant winner Kamie Crawford as its host. There are 22 contestants this season, including Aqel Carson, Brendan Mosca, and Courtney Rowe.
Why Did Sam Leave Are You The One Season 9?
Sam left Are You the One Season 9 during Episode 8 due to personal reasons. The episode aired on Wednesday, March 1, 2023.
At the 7th ceremony, Crawford revealed that Sam’s perfect match was Mijntje. Therefore, the 26-year-old Netherlands native was sent to the honeymoon suite by herself.
Julia-Ruth Smith, a fellow contestant, took to her IG story to give a little shout-out to Sam. She wrote, “So much love for @sam_kxn never got to say goodbye, but I hope you’re okay for whatever reason it was that you had to leave.”
She also joked about how he often annoyed her, especially when the duo lost 250k. “But my heart broke for you,” she added. “Fun fact Sam and I had a handshake too,” Julia concluded.
Julia further added another short video where she shared she was among a few people who really got to know Sam. She praised Khan for being really kind and sweet and wished him all the best.
Khan replied to her sweet Instagram story by sharing that Julia was one of the purest souls he has ever met in his entire life. He further said, “No Handshake will ever be as good as ours.”
Following the episode, one Twitter user said, “Me watching are you the one tonight when they say Sam had to leave.” The user then shared a gif to the tweet that said, “I DON’T KNOW WHO THAT IS.” Another user replied, “Same lol.”
Who Was Sam From Are You The One Season 9?
Khan is a 25-year-old aspiring actor and entertainer from Manchester, United Kingdom. Reportedly, he is studying to become a general surgeon.
Unlike other AYTO contestants, Khan appears to be a bit more low-key, at least on social media. He has just shared 17 posts on his Instagram under the username @sam_kxn as of today.
However, it might be because the young man is studying to be a doctor. He has also addressed himself as a future doctor in his IG bio.
Moreover, he started modeling and found his passion for acting as well. Repped by Spotted Talent & Model Management, the reality star has modeled for various brands such as Alphalab Apparel, ASOS Menswear, and Tommy Hilfiger.
Khan came to public notice after making an appearance in the popular dating program Are You the One in its ninth season.
The dating reality show gave him the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to date eleven girls to find his special one.
Unfortunately, the aspiring actor had to withdraw from the competition following some personal reasons in Episode 8.
Are You The One Season 9 Perfect Matches
In season 9 of Are You the One, participants have finally found two perfect matches. Brendan & Julia-Ruth and Ollie & Brooke are the two perfect matches.
The show didn’t start off well when the participants got a complete blackout in the first week, meaning none were a perfect match out of all 11 couples. Thankfully, two perfect pairs have now been revealed.
Brendan Mosca and Julia-Ruth Smith
Brendan, a musician from Australia, was instantly attracted to Julia-Ruth soon after entering the dating show, and the duo quickly hit it off.
Their connection led them to spend a night together in a secluded room. But the next day brought a storm of doubts for Smith as she felt she was falling into her past patterns.
She then decided not to pursue her connection with him. Though upset by the news, the musician started talking to Ciara Cortez and spent the next night with her.
Later, both Mosca and Smith decided to break off things with the latter as they were not the intended match. Smith then started seeing Nathan Grant. Meanwhile, Mosca resolved to rekindle his bonding with Smith.
He chose her during the third match-up ceremony, but she remained determined to avoid him due to his similarities to her former partner.
After the fourth challenge, Brendan got the advantage of taking someone on a date. He asked Smith to accompany him without a second thought. They ended up having a great time together.
Soon, the house members sent the two to the Truth Booth. It was finally revealed that Julia-Ruth and Brendan were indeed a perfect match.
Oliver “Ollie” Andersen and Brooke Rachman
During the first few days, Ollie and Brooke didn’t interact much. The American beauty had initially fallen for Leo Svete.
Brooke paired up with Leo for the first match-up ceremony.
Seeing this, Will talked to Rachman and reminded her of the real purpose she entered the show.
The conversation helped the beauty distract her attention somewhere else.
She then started making her connection with Ollie. The two had a shaky start but came together after they began conversing.
Apart from the first and fourth ceremonies, the pair were always each other’s chosen partners.
Before the sixth match-up ceremony, the first confirmed match, Brendan and Julia Smith were invited and asked to pick one pair to send into the truth booth. The couple picked Ollie and Brooke.
Truth Booth then confirmed that they were a perfect match.
