They would date and receive coaching from the staff in hopes of a happy ending. Federoff, along with her future husband at the time, Pfaff, co-starred together through Season 6.

The show only lasted two more seasons without them. The show ran from January 22, 2008 - March 29, 2015. Speculation ranged from Stanger's personality being the inciting incident to that Stanger just "let them go" to Federoff being pregnant to Pfaff and Federoff getting their own television show. When asked directly during an online fan Q and A, Pfaff stated, "It was just time. Too much toxicity in the air. We needed to focus on each other and our kids." Federoff added, "We also wanted to do something that could truly help get some love back into the world." Pfaff continued, "And we had some creative endeavors we wanted to explore. It was just time. So... we quit. All of it. We just quit." Federoff closed out the topic with the statement, "Yes, we did. We had to."

In 2014, Federoff and her husband, Destin Pfaff, stated that "the world needs love again... the world needs REAL matchmakers". They immediately launched the elite national matchmaking site Love and Matchmaking in 2014 to high client ratings and a staggering success rate.
