Warning done, let’s get down to business: what really happened behind the scenes of one of the realities most loved by Brazilians recently. The matchmaking attraction, which promised to unite couples only through conversations, without them seeing each other in person until the engagement, was so successful that it entered the “Top 10” of the most watched shows on Brazilian Netflix.

If you also fell in love with blind marriage and want to know more about what is behind the cameras of this realityknow that the team at awesome.club doesn’t want to let you down and has put together 10 behind-the-scenes information that should surprise you.

In the episode that shows the meeting of the participants of blind marriage, you may have noticed that situations have changed a lot. Amber has a new look, Kenny is dating someone else and the couple Giannina and Damian are together again.

However, it is important to know that the scenario has not changed overnight. Is that, in fact, the recordings of the reality were made over a year ago! Participant Damian Powers told Refinery29 that the recordings ended on the day November 15, 2018🇧🇷 Can you believe?

For those watching from the outside, the dynamics of the booths where participants chatted can seem a little confusing. After all, how do they have time to talk to everyone? And how do they choose who to talk to?

In an interview with a website, participant Rory Newbrough revealed that the experiment started with 15 men and 15 women. On the first day, he had 15 “dates” and, at the end of the conversations, he had to make a list with an order of who he liked the most.

Then, the production of the program cross-referenced the information from the lists of each participant and reduced the number of meetings. From fifteen, there was a decrease to eight, then to two.

As the number of meetings was reduced, the conversation time between the participants increased and ranged from 30 minutes to several hours.

Rory confessed that he and Danielle — the participant he would later propose to — talked about 19 or 20 hours a day. Pretty intense, don’t you agree?

The main idea of ​​the program is for participants to fall in love with the personality of their loved ones, not their appearance. But, as they had conversations through the booths, it is possible that you have asked yourself: did they not simply ask the other to describe themselves physically?

Also according to Rory, most of the participants asked — yes — what the other was like. But not him. According to the boy, the most he could do was bring up the subject about the style of clothing the woman was wearing that day.

After we have already revealed how the dynamics of the cabins of the blind marriage, we want to go back a little bit in the timeline and talk about how these participants were selected. In an interview with the program The Ellen DeGeneres ShowDamian revealed that he was “tricked” by a producer of the reality🇧🇷

The participant said he was chatting with a woman via the dating app Tinder when she asked him to add her on Instagram. After the two had a good connection, the mystery woman revealed that she was a casting producer. “Oh! One catfish!”joked Damian, referring to people who create fake profiles on social media to make others fall in love with them.

The show’s partner and Damian’s current girlfriend, Gianinna, said that being cast in the reality it was a “cosmic” signal.

“I was in a bar with a group of girlfriends, saying there weren’t any men in town for me, and at the same moment, I got a private message on Instagram from a producer saying, ‘You can find love and potentially if you to marry’. It was as if the universe was talking to me.”

Probably, the couple Mark and Jessica were the most controversial of the program. The “no” said by the participant at the altar was not a surprise, as she gave strong indications that she was not really in love with Mark. Still, viewers were curious to know what the duo’s reunion would have been like.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Mark Cuevas revealed that the first time he saw Jessica after the wedding was during the last episode of realitywhich marked the reunion of the participants a year and a half after the end of the recordings.

“I think there were a lot of emotions at first. But in the end, we both looked at each other like, ‘Man, we’ve been through this together!’ She will always have a special place in my heart. It was a very revealing experience. I don’t hold a grudge against Jessica and I wish her nothing but the best and success in any relationship, career, whatever she chooses to do.”

One of the most tense moments of the attraction occurred when Amber revealed to Barnett that she owed more than $20,000 in student loans. This information raised many doubts to viewers, who believed that the debt would be on his back, since Amber was not working at the time of the show. reality🇧🇷

In an interview with Refinery29, the participant said that she was very happy to clarify that her husband is not paying his debt. Amber stated that she is trying to enter a new career, but does not want to reveal, for now, what these new steps would be.

The girl says that people have the wrong ideas about her and her work ethic and will therefore keep her professional life a “secret”. “This career change could be a big thing for me and Barnett and I wouldn’t want to risk it and jeopardize it,” she said.

It seems that not even the producers of blind marriage put so much faith that the dynamics of reality could yield good results. According to Rory Newbrough, the team expected one or two engagements at the end of the experiment. Not eight!

But wait a minute, what do you mean eight if only five aired? Well… that’s right. As even the show’s producers didn’t expect the experiment to go so well, they only had crews prepared to shoot five stories at most. That’s why Rory’s story, and others, were not broadcast.

“They just gave us our phones back and said, ‘Good luck, thanks for participating, but we just can’t cover your story,’” he revealed.

If you were rooting for certain couples, then you can imagine how the crew behind the camera felt during filming.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the show’s creator, Chris Coelen, said that the producers let the contestants go free and that’s why they were just as surprised as the audience the day they walked down the aisle.

The attraction’s creator said he had no idea what would happen when Barnett kept texting Amber, saying he was undecided on his wedding day. Another couple that surprised the team was Kelly and Kenny (even her mother confessed that she loved Kenny, remember?!).

And, to prove once and for all that the show’s staff really didn’t know what was going to happen, Chris said he was pretty surprised when Damian said “no” to Gianinna at the altar: “I had no idea at all! People were shocked in the control room. Like, anything can happen to any of them!” he revealed to E! News.
