Netflix's 'Love Is Blind' Casting in Phoenix

Valley singles now have a shot at blind romance as Netflix dating show “Love Is Blind” actively casts in Phoenix, according to KTAR.com.

The unusual dating experience puts contestants in separate pods where they talk through a wall without seeing each other over a series of dates. Couples only meet face-to-face with cameras capturing the reveal if one proposes and the other accepts.

Applicants must complete a 63-question application that asks when your last relationship ended and why, while also requiring three personal references with first and last names, relationships, and phone numbers. Candidates must also describe their relationship with alcohol.

Written answers require supplementation. Hopefuls must upload a 15-second video explaining why they are ready to find love in the pods, a full-body photo without a visible camera selfie, and a clear face photo without sunglasses or a hat. The application requests passport expiration dates and asks if applicants are eligible to travel outside the United States, as international travel follows the pod engagements.

Candidates must be at least 21 years old and legal U.S. residents with a government-issued passport valid for at least one year after submitting the application. Candidates for public office are ineligible and cannot run for office until at least one year after their last episode airs. Employees of Netflix and production company Delirium TV, along with their immediate family and household members, are also excluded.

“Love Is Blind” features opaque gold goblets used for all drinks on screen. While fans speculate the cups prevent continuity errors by hiding changing drink levels between shots, creator Chris Coelen has described them as an aesthetic choice giving the show a recognizable look.
