Love Is Blind Season 2 is currently out on Netflix for us to become briefly/weirdly obsessed with, and we have some questions: first and foremost about those opaque gold wine glasses, but that got answered over this way. And also about the engagement rings on this show. Where do they come from? Who buys them? Are they for keeps if a couple breaks up?
Love is Blind creator Chris Coelen told Variety that most of the cast do *not* come with their own rings (though obviously Kyle did), saying “If they want to propose and want to have a ring to give, we provide — up to a certain level — a ring for them to do that with. If they choose to do that, we actually give choices. There are, like, 10 or 12 different styles and colors. It’s up to them, they don’t have to. There’s no pressure to do that.”
This is obviously very similar to The Bachelor, where contestants and/or the Bachelor himself get to pick a ring out of a giant suitcase provided by Neil Lane. And while on that show contestants have to return the ring if the engagement is broken, it’s unclear what happens to rejected rings on Love Is Blind…but presumably they also go back to the show?
Anyway, it sounds like producers do the most when it comes to providing things for couples in their pods—including their activities.
“We always tell them, you should think of this as if you’re doing everything that you can do on a date in the real world, you just can’t see the other person,” he said. “So if you want to have a night where you are getting takeout or you want to make something for somebody — people would go in the kitchen and they would make a meal and then basically, they would tell us they want to do this and we would facilitate it. We would take the meal that they made and we would place it on the other side, in the other person’s pod. So when they got in there they would see that it was there. I would say, if you want to play mini golf together, we’ll get little mini golf clubs! Literally, you can do whatever you want to do, within the bounds of being in the pods.”
