So that you make a judgment name about which tales to inform, and we observe totally different tales for various lengths of time. Some we do not observe in any respect. Some we observe just a little bit, after which we cease following. If it appears inauthentic, we attempt to not inform these tales. I’ll say, to validate the alternatives that we have made: There is not a single couple, not one, that we have ever chosen not to observe that has ever had any important relationship after the very fact. In some circumstances, a pair will get engaged and breaks up on the airport, actually. So I really feel fairly good concerning the selections that we have made. I feel that is the correct option to method it.
Do the opposite engaged {couples} that are not proven go on the journey, although?
Once more, we attempt to be very explicit about who we select to observe and after we’ve chosen to observe them. Actually, there have been folks that we have adopted or dropped at sure locations after which felt like they weren’t individuals we had been going to observe. The reality of the matter is, if I can simply be trustworthy with you, I do not love spending a number of time speaking about them for a motive: I did not discover their tales to be genuine, so why spend a variety of time on them? I really like the present, and I like speaking about individuals who we now have chosen to observe as a result of I really feel like these persons are real.
Let’s speak concerning the Lydia-Uche-Aaliyah timeline since you’ve stated, “Everybody was blindsided by the reveal.” When did producers be taught that Uche and Lydia knew one another, and what conversations had been had as soon as that got here to mild?
I didn’t know till day one in every of relationship within the pods that they knew one another. That’s after I came upon. And so after I say, “I used to be blindsided” it is due to the truth that we attempt to present a real expertise for the individuals who come into the Love Is Blind course of, which is the chance to get to know individuals with none preconceived notions.
We attempt to present that real expertise. That’s our objective, and we really feel fairly good every season about having a pool of individuals that do not know one another. So to seek out out on day one that there have been two folks that not solely knew one another, however had a previous romantic relationship was an enormous shock. I’ve by no means run throughout that scenario.
