What questions are on the Love Is Blind casting application?
The Love Is Blind application begins with an “easy-peasy” section asking for “basic info” like your name, pronouns, and place of residence. After that, they (optionally) ask for your social media handles, warning, “Totally optional, but we might snoop around!” After that, it’s time for your big moment in the spotlight.
Prompting applicants for a short, personality-filled video, Netflix writes “show us the real you” before asking applicants to upload a video. While there are no specific rules for the video, applicants are guided to shoot the video vertically, use their selfie cam, make it one minute or less, and include their name, age, and where they’re from. After a couple of format and size notes, you are ready to go!
