From the Pods to the Weddings: Behind-the-Scenes Rules of ‘Love Is Blind’

Love Is Blind is a unique reality show for several reasons — but the Netflix series has rules just like other dating experiments.

The series follows couples who get engaged after communicating via soundproof pods and never seeing each other’s faces.

“We didn’t want any sound to bleed through any other pods. We basically had a small speaker in the front wall, and you would hear the other person who was in the other pod. [There are] no producers in there, there’s nobody else,” creator Chris Coelen told Variety in 2020. “It’s just you and the other person. That’s it.”

Coelen later emphasized during a 2022 Variety interview that the producers “do a lot of diligence” during the casting process, but don’t try to influence contestants once the cameras are rolling.

“”We don’t have any control over what happens. We don’t try to exert or sway over any of the participants,” he said. “We won’t ever tell them what to say, what to do, how to think, how to feel. This is entirely documenting their real journey.”
