The pods and houses where the cast members gathered together to talk were all constructed on a soundstage at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta. Avengers: Endgame was filming on another soundstage while they were in production there. Considering that movie came out last summer, how is that possible? It’s because Love is Blind was filmed in the fall of 201...
The initial meetings for the cast members were facilitated by producers, in order for every person to get a chance to meet every opposite-sex cast member. Those initial dates lasted between seven and 10 minutes, Coelen told me. After that, he said, the cast was in control, requesting to spend time with each other. Both had to want to see the other ...
Love is Blindis about connecting without physical attraction—or without judgment of someone’s appearance. People get to know each other based on their personalities, and can’t just reject someone immediately because of their first impression. That’s an interesting premise, but as I noted in my review of Love Is Blind, everyone is conventionally att...

One thing I brought up in my review was how ridiculous it seemed that people were getting engaged so quickly—I don’t doubt the strength of their feelings, but it also just seems like an absurd leap to make. Why not just, you know, date? Why leap into engagements and marriage? I asked Coelen about that, and why the show didn’t just, say, connect peo...
Two couples—Rory and Danielle, and Wesley and Lexie—actually got engaged in the pods, but were essentially ignored in the show. Rory got the most screen time, though not for his relationship with Danielle. Coelen said that was just because the experiment ended up being more successful than producers expected. “The people you end up seeing on the sh...
Yes. Of the six couples we saw, one broke up in an earlier episode (Carlton and Diamond, with their dramatic poolside fight), while three broke up at the altar. But there are two couples who did get married: Barnett and Amber, and Cameron and Lauren. “The people that went through and got married are still together to this day, a year and a half lat...
