With the Love Is Blind season 4 finale now on\u00a0Netflix<\/a>, the creator of the show has been reflecting on the highs and lows of the dramatic reality show\u2019s latest instalment.<\/p>\n

A talking point that has dominated conversation among fans is the casting,<\/a> with some of the individuals who took part appearing unready for the marital commitment the show is based around, and others displaying a lack of respect towards their fellow participants.<\/p>\n

Love Is Blind<\/a> boss Chris Coelen took the time to address the challenging nature of the casting process in an interview with Variety<\/a>, telling the publication that it\u2019s\u00a0unclear during the screening process how earnestly a contestant will take the challenge of finding their soul mate.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have any idea how people are going to react,\u201d he said. \u201cWe always try to choose people who at least state that they are interested in being married or having a lifelong relationship with somebody if they find someone that they want to do that with. That\u2019s a big if.<\/p>

\u201cI think most people are really skeptical, to be honest. Most people come in like, \u2018Who wouldn\u2019t love to find their soulmate and be married? Is it gonna happen to me? Probably not!’\u201d<\/p>\n
