‘Love is Blind U.K.’ Team on Smashing ‘Stiff Upper Lip’ Stereotypes: ‘We Were So Proud of British Men’


The exec producer and editor of "Love is Blind U.K." on being surprised on how their cast opened up and whether there's alcohol in the goblets

Many viewers may see “Love is Blind” as pure entertainment, but Karim suggests that the “social experiment” also helps set an example for other men, showing that they can talk about their feelings while still having masculine energy. While the format of the U.K. show is practical identical to that of its U.S. counterpart, which has already run for six seasons and spawned remakes in Japan, Brazil, Mexico and Germany, there is one noticeable difference when it comes to the contestants: they’re a little older. While some may struggle with a few of the accents, “Love is Blind” fans around the world should instantly recognize the golden goblets each cast member carries with them into the pods, a prop that has become synonymous with the show and has been happily continued into the U.K. edition (instead of something a little more local, such as a china teacup).
