The pods used in Love Is Blind are a series of small-sized rooms decorated with rugs, couches, and a shiny blue wall separating the men's pods from women's. The contestants can hear each other's voices through the wall, but they can't see each other's faces or bodies. The purpose of the show is to test the idea that true love is genuinely blind.
According to Kyle, the time spent in the pods varied for Season 2, but it did increase as the season progressed and as he and other cast members made connections.
He explained to us that the dates in the pods "started out like speed dating" and those turned into two-to-three hour dates.
But they grew even longer from there.
"I think eventually the last ones were like four hours," Kyle shared. "And so it was daunting, like having to talk for four hours straight without even looking at the person is amazing."
If love is indeed blind, falling in love with someone based on their personality alone should be enough … right? This show has proven that it’s possible for couples to fall in love inside the pods without ever laying eyes on each other, but this fairy-tale ending doesn’t always work out as perfectly as hopeful singles might wish.
