You can also set the stroke to [None]

I had the same problem as OP and this fixed it. I had to set the stroke to none and then it finally showed up how I wanted it to.

When you blend, one of the objects will always be behand the other one and the blend steps stacked between them.

Reduce the number of steps to 3 or the like and then you will see the logic behind blends.

cyberthai,

In addition to what Larry said, if this is only happening in a specific document, the best way is to just delete it (after rescuing any sound artwork) and start over in a new one.

Otherwise, resetting the preferences may be required, rescuing customized settings.

Have you tried fewer steps? Looks like the stroke is larger than the distance between the individual copies. If you delete the stroke does it look different?
