For example, Coelen says a lot of questions came up about the blue wall that separates the men’s and women’s pods. That idea required a pod design that would feel intimate, despite the contestants being physically separated. “We wanted it to be comfortable and conducive to conversation - a place where they could get cozy with each other.” “We wanted to provide an environment for people where they would literally have no distractions,” he says. Since the original renderings, slight alterations have been made - for instance, the walls were originally “slightly extended into the floor” - but the original function and spirit of the pods haven’t changed. Do the contestants sleep in the pods? How can they hear the person they’re on a date with, but not their neighbors? And most importantly: Where do you pee in the pod? (Or rather, do pod people pee?) Here, Coelen explains everything you’ve ever wanted to know about the pods, including the location of the most romantic restroom on television (which is apparently both a place and an experience).Ĭoelen says that when he and his team first pitched the reality dating show, the pods were an indispensable part of the Love Is Blind package. For fans who watch Love Is Blind, these kinds of pod-related questions will inevitably pop up.
