Why Love Is Blind doesn't have a diverse group of people of different sizes and ethnicities

Los Angeles Times

“The show is not a gotcha show — we didn’t plan the show thinking, ‘How can we throw people curve balls?’” says creator Chris Coelen. “The goal in casting was, let’s find people, regardless of what they look like. We didn’t cast people because of how they looked; we cast people who genuinely seemed interested in trying to find love in a different way and who liked this approach. And some of those people are more, I guess, ‘conventionally attractive,’ whatever that means. And some people were less conventionally attractive, and ultimately we were only able to follow so many stories. ... We didn’t pick people for how they looked, we picked people for the authenticity of what they expressed as a desire, and then within the group of people who got engaged we ended up sort of, at random, picking the stories that we ended up wanting to follow. Because we couldn’t follow all of the stories.”
