According to Sadighi, each pod was soundproof. The only way contestants could hear each other was through a speaker at the front of each room. "That's the only way they could hear the person on the other side of the wall," Sadighi confirmed. "They absolutely could not see each other, no shadows, nothing," she continued. "Nothing was visible through those walls."
As co-creator and executive producer Chris Coelen confirmed to Variety, "There's no producers in there, there's nobody else. It's just you and the other person. That's it." From the outside, it may seem claustrophobic but Coelen promised the contestants were able to go into the pods as little or as much as they wanted. Unsurprisingly, those who were making a connection didn't want to leave. "They were there pretty much 24/7," Coelen told Variety. "It's funny because we would encourage them to take [breaks], "You gotta eat! You gotta get some sleep!" But they didn't want to, they wanted to stay in those pods."
