    Donna A. Driscoll is the head of casting at Kinetic Content, where you can apply to be on Love Is Blind . Once you submit your application on their official website, Driscoll and her production team review all the applications and their social media accounts and choose their picks. [5]
    • Driscoll and her team look at the content on each applicant’s social media accounts to analyze their goals, personality, and interpersonal relationships.
    • The production team also looks for potential contestants who are all living in the same city so couples can easily move in together while living close to their friends and family. [6]
      • Season 1 took place in Atlanta, Season 2 was in Chicago, Season 3 was in Dallas, Season 4 was in Seattle, Season 5 was in Houston, and Season 6 was in Charlotte, North Carolina.

    The production team will set up a phone call, where they’ll ask a series of questions to see if a potential candidate is genuinely looking for a long-term relationship and excited about the opportunity to find love. Then, the casting team sets up a video interview with the casting producer. [7]
    • Driscoll’s staff sets up phone interviews with about 2,000 different people, then narrows the pool down to 300 or 400 for Zoom or Skype interviews. [8]
    • Sometimes, the casting producer sets up 2 or 3 different video calls, but it all depends on the person they’re interviewing.

    After the video interview stage, each applicant fills out an incredibly detailed, almost 300-question compatibility questionnaire. They also complete a background check and a psych evaluation before they even enter the iconic Love Is Blind pods. [9]
    • Driscoll and the other casting directors then narrow down their group to 60 or 70 people and choose 30 final cast members from this group. [10]
      • Each season focuses on the most compelling and authentic love stories in the group, which is why a few of the 30 cast members barely appear in the final edit of the show. [11]
    • At this point in the process, Driscoll and the other directors look at the cast not only as individuals but as a group of prospective couples. [12]

    Above all else, the Love Is Blind team looks for people who are marriage-minded and truly want to find love. [13] In your application and the interview, make sure to emphasize that you’re genuinely looking for a life partner to spend the rest of your life with.
    • Although the first few seasons primarily focused on straight relationships, people of all sexual orientations and gender expressions are encouraged to apply. [14]
    • If you love playing the dating field, you may not be a good fit for this kind of reality TV show.
    • The show also tries to be authentic and doesn’t script anything the contestants say, but editing might hide some of what contestants are really thinking or feeling. [15]
      • Producers might also influence the way the contestants think or feel or force conversations between them to keep the show dramatic and entertaining. [16]

    The production team on Love Is Blind wants to cast people who aren’t just looking to build their brand, but who are genuinely interested in taking a leap of faith and getting married to someone in a short period of time. [17]
    • Donna A. Driscoll, the head of casting, encourages applicants to be 100% authentically themselves. Try to avoid copying the personalities of former cast members. [18]
    • Driscoll’s casting team also gravitates towards potential contestants who have a good sense of self and wear their heart on their sleeve. [19]

    Contestants who get married also get their wedding venue, food, and music paid for by the show. However, anything over and above what the show would normally do has to be paid for by the contestants. [20]
    • In addition, Love Is Blind producers pay for the apartment that each couple shares after they meet in the pods. [21]
    • The engagement rings are also supplied by the show, but couples are allowed to use their own money if they’d like to add a special touch to their rings. [22]
    • All the marriages on Love Is Blind are completely real and legally binding. [23] 8 couples across the first 5 seasons are still married today. [24]

    Expert Answer
    Other ways to get casted is through talent agencies. This is because casting directors sometimes reach out to agents for potential contestants. If you are under an agency or have someone who is representing you, ask them to be reach out about casting calls. But if you don’t have an agent, the best approach is to find out who’s handling casting for the show. Look up the casting director or the agency behind it and follow them on social media or their professional websites to get in touch with them.
