What I Saw Inside the Love Is Blind Control Room
Toggling between ten simultaneous pod dates is like standing in front of a fire hose of gossip.
There are hundreds of hours of footage from the pods alone, and a season of Love Is Blind is designed to follow the arcs of couples who’ve gotten engaged and been selected to continue onto a romantic getaway before testing their relationships in the “real world.” Many participants who don’t find mutual connections go home in the first few days of filming and are edited out almost entirely. Then there’s the huge tranche of footage filled with little banalities, like the regular ritual of producers collecting participants for organized trips to the bathroom, or the small areas of the lounges that rarely appear onscreen because they’re lined with baskets of personal items. When I returned to watch the end of the pods, I was surprised to hear that he and Brittany Wisniewski were getting engaged because I’d ignored them in favor of listening to dates between Tyler Francis and Ashley Adionser, who went on to say yes at the altar, and Bohdan Olinares and Nina Zafar, two participants who make only minor appearances this season.
