However, as viewers quickly discovered, there’s no reality show quite as addictive.

What’s the deal with the pods on Netflix’s Love Is Blind?

“We had sketched out what they would look like prior to build-out,” Sadighi told the publication.

She continued, saying, “It was an integral part of our overall pitch.”

The pods' interiors and acoustics were then specially designed to foster communication, according to Sadighi.

“There were eight in total, and we followed six,” Coelen toldEntertainment Tonight.

Unfortunately, both engagements ended soon after the couples were let go from the show.

“There’s no producers in [the pods], there’s nobody else,” Coelen said.

According to Coelen, the producers were mainly there to “facilitate'” dates.

Added Coelen, “We really wanted them to feel like it’s their own thing.”

However, according to Chase, Barnes effectively ended their relationship on the last day of filming.

“I thought he was going to be the runaway bride,” Pike told theLos Angeles Times.

As Pike explained to theLos Angeles Times, “My mom went to talk to him.”

For a moment, it seemed as thoughPike’s money problemswould prove to be a dealbreaker for Barnett.

Added Pike, “He had a lot more student debt than I did!”
