Your next blind date could end in a proposal: ‘Love Is Blind’ is casting in Phoenix

There are blind dates, and then there’s getting engaged before ever seeing your date. That’s the premise of “Love Is Blind,” the Netflix dating show now casting in Phoenix.

Valley singles can apply for the unusual dating experience, in which men and women get to know one another through conversations in separate rooms called “pods.” A wall between the rooms allows them to hear each other, but not see each other.

Over a series of dates, contestants decide whether they’ve found someone they want to marry. If one proposes and the other accepts, the newly engaged couple finally meet face-to-face — with cameras capturing the reveal.

Sometimes, they’re thrilled. Other times, well, let’s just say it makes for good TV.

What’s the application process for ‘Love is Blind’ look like?

Tap or click here to apply. The 63-question application asks when your last relationship ended and why. Applicants must provide three personal references, including each person’s first and last name, relationship to the applicant and phone number.

Another question asks applicants to describe their relationship with alcohol.

“Love Is Blind” is known for its opaque gold goblets, which cast members use for all drinks, whether they’re alcoholic or not. Fans have speculated that the cups help editors avoid noticeable continuity errors by hiding changes in drink levels between shots, although creator Chris Coelen has described them as an aesthetic choice that gives the show a recognizable look.

Written answers alone won’t cut it. Even though love is blind, your application can’t be: Applicants must upload a 15-second video explaining why they’re ready to find love in the pods, along with a full-body photo and a clear photo of their face without sunglasses or a hat. For the full-body shot, the application asks applicants to avoid selfies with the camera visible.

The application also asks whether you’re eligible to travel outside the United States and requests your passport’s expiration date if you have one. International travel is part of the show experience. After getting engaged in the pods, couples head abroad for a getaway to explore their connection in person.

How to make sure you’re eligible to apply to join ‘Love is Blind’

You must be at least 21 and a legal U.S. resident to apply. You must also have a government-issued passport valid for at least one year after submitting your application and be able to obtain any documents needed to travel internationally without restrictions during production.

Current candidates for public office are ineligible, and anyone selected cannot run for office until at least one year after their last episode airs. Employees and other representatives of Netflix, production company Delirium TV or their related companies — along with their immediate family and household members — are also ineligible.

Applicants may need to provide two valid forms of identification to verify their age, including photo identification, and those selected must sign the required waivers and release agreements.
