Are any couples from this season actually still together?
I think its really compelling.
But fans are expecting much more than loose ends.
This season, the couples were based in the Washington, D.C., area.
Were you expecting politics to come up more in conversation because of that?
And did you intentionally air this D.C. season in an election year?No, we didnt.
Politics is a subject that people are talking about more now than maybe ever in the context of dating.
Are you open to breaking the fourth wall to bring those conversations to viewers?
If it is, we put it in there for sure.
Im not afraid of putting anything on the show.
Weve broken the fourth wall before you remember Andrew with his tears in Season Three?
Its just about whether that contributes to the stories that were telling.
Were documenting the choices that they make.
Theyre not required to do anything.
In our minds, this is an experiment.
The first part is whether they can fall in love with each other sight unseen.
The experiment is designed to sort of throw everything at them all the way up to the altar.
Youve explained that there wasnt enough of a budget to follow around more than six couples.
Its also not just about budget; its about doing justice to the story.
Were interested in authenticity.
Do I have my own personal opinions about some of the conversations between Ramses and Marissa?
Of course I do.
But my job is to document their stories.
We dont police what people say or dont say, or tell each other or dont tell each other.
We dont force anyone to say anything that they dont want to.
It doesnt really matter what Joey on Instagram thinks.
What matters is their marriage.
And again, what they choose to say about themselves or not say is completely up to them.
It doesnt make them a good person or bad person.
Were doing background checks and psychological evaluations.
Those arent about, Have I dated 100 people or two people?
Its not about whether you have a good relationship with your mother or not.
That is not the case onLove Is Blind.
Thats so aspirational and relatable.
So its better and more interesting that the people who participate are real people.
Im fully supportive of anyone who participates inLove Is Blind.
I certainly dont think that the people on social media are doing background checks.
Somebody saying so-and-so is dating someone or so-and-so has children is not a background check.
Im sure anyone can find out any information about lots of people and surface it.
Maybe the participants youre seeing on the show have talked about it, and maybe they havent.
Thats really for them to figure out.
I am so passionate aboutLove Is Blindand about the experience of it.
We sort of disbanded theAfter the Altarspinoff idea.
I wasnt a big proponent of that.
Its like, wheres the drama?
Then when theres no drama, youre making stuff up, and I dont want to make anything up.
