“In a lot of unscripted shows, I think that a lot of times, you’re looking for someone who’s a certain kind of character with a certain charisma. We do not do that. We are not leading with that,” said Coelen. “We’re looking for people who are genuine.” Coelen, who also produces Married at First Sight, said their goal is to get a representative slice of whatever city they cast from before narrowing it down to 30 contestants via interviews.
“Influencers and actors are off the table,” Driscoll said. “I want the people to come in and feel very authentic and raw — and that’s not to say that an influencer, model or actor could not do that. But I want to steer clear of getting somebody into the pod, as much as I possibly can, for the wrong reasons.”
Even that level of research doesn’t always turn up information that would have disqualified candidates. Lydia Velez Gonzalez and Uche Okoroha from Season 5 of Love Is Blind had a previous relationship that was not documented anywhere that casting directors might have uncovered it. Season 6 contestant Trevor had a girlfriend who he was in touch with up until the day he left to film the show. Beyond a certain point, Driscoll thinks they just have to trust that contestants are being truthful.
