"The truth is, for these people, when they walked in, they didn't really know what they were walking into," series creator Chris Coelen tells Entertainment Weekly. "They knew the general idea, but then they walked in and would say, 'I didn't expect this to actually happen. I thought it'd be fun. I'm going on a show and yeah, maybe I'll find somebody that I like, but I never expected to fall in love deeper than I've ever fallen in love.' That's what we heard over and over."
"We had actually more success on this show, from that standpoint, than we were even able to document. As a producer I was kind of nervous like, is anybody actually gonna get engaged? Is anyone going to make it to the altar? And, in the end, we actually had more couples get engaged than we were able to follow on the show," Coelen says.
Eight couples eventually got engaged, which might prove that love, under the right circumstances, is blind, and doesn't have to be staged. But whether that love can last is another story altogether.
