Chirs Coelen, the producer of Love is Blind reveals the vetting process behind the show and his opinion on Shake and Deepti.

Chris Coelen, the Man Behind the Ultimatum and Love Is Blind Doesn’t Regret His Decision to Feature Shake on the Pod Dating Show

Love is Blind a show about love and relationships, was marred by the controversy
surrounding Shake’s opinion on love. Even though the season of the pod dating
show has concluded long back, people are still not over the DJ’s insulting
remarks on Deepti Vempati. 

Chris Coelen, the producer of the pod dating show and Netflix’s upcoming The
Ultimatum revealed in a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter
[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/love-is-blind-creator-interview-season-2-shake-1235118529/]
that he isn’t “unhappy” about Shake. He says point-blank, “Look, our duty as
producers is to tell the real story — that’s it.” However, he is unhappy that
Deepti didn’t have a happy ending although she learned a lot through her
experience on the show.

He argues that the show begs the question – is love blind or not? For Shake, it
wasn’t. Their love didn’t survive outside the pod bubble. 

“Deepti chose Shake — I didn’t choose Shake for her. She chose him, and in that
way, it’s very reflective of the real world. And she felt great about that
decision when she made it, and obviously, again, the real world ended up showing
them that they shouldn’t be together. “

THE CONTESTANTS GO THROUGH A RIGOROUS VETTING PROCESS TO GET AN INVITE TO LOVE
IS BLIND

The team conducts several psychological and background tests before extending an
invite to the singles on Love is Blind. But it isn’t an “infallible” process.
Although they enter the show with an intention to find love, they often get
“transformed” once they enter the pods.  


CHRIS TAKES A STRONG STANCE AGAINST EVIL EDITING

[data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==]

With 30,000 hours of footage to edit, Chris discloses that he never edited out
Shake’s comment about the editing process. Neither did he remove others’
comments on the show’s editing. Chris explains, “My job, ultimately, is to try
to convey a truthful experience of their journey.” Shake may have made even
nastier comments but since they don’t film them 24*7, Chris wasn’t aware of
that. Thus they were never aired.

The social experiment show has been renewed for three more seasons. The third
season is set in Dallas and will arrive later this year, until then you can
binge the first two seasons. [https://www.netflix.com/title/80996601]
