Reality TV fans, rejoice! The new globalization hit show Love Is Blind has now arrived in Germany for its contestants to teach them the way to find their soulmates. Best known for trying to find the answer to whether physical attraction can be replaced by real chemistry, the German version guarantees flash, passion, and excitement, among other things.
In Love Is Blind: Germany, singles from different parts of the country attempt the ultimate in blind dating—love is being sought in this show, without meeting the other person. The show starts with the participants interacting with each other in “pods” in which they can speak to one another but not see one another.
In such personal exchanges, what matters is that they want to establish an emotional intimacy with one another. If they feel a strong bond, they will likely head towards the next step. After the engagement, the couples sit across from each other and assess whether their relationship is compatible enough for a marriage.
Hosts Steffi Brungs and Chris Wackert
Guiding the participants through this whirlwind experience are hosts and real-life couple, Steffi Brungs and Chris Wackert. Their role goes beyond introducing episodes; they provide support and insights as the couples navigate this unorthodox path to love.
