Does this strange clue in Love Is Blind season eight prove the pods are staged?

Love Is Blind is a typical Netflix reality show, which means more often than not, it’s going to be a little bit staged. Sometimes it’s what you need for a good bit of drama. However, people are convinced the pods are fully staged after finding a strange clue in season eight of Love Is Blind, which is one of the cast members reading from what appears to be a script. However, there’s an easy debunk to this wild theory.

The inside of Mason’s notebook was a dead giveaway in episode two. We firstly see a few blocks of text which definitely look more like printed text than Mason’s own handwriting, and this is confirmed a bit later on when we see what his writing actually looks like.

People noticed the stark difference in the two types of writing in Mason’s notebook, but this slip-up has actually been debunked by a previous cast member.

The cast members aren’t given scripts, but instead talking points for the pod dates

According to Sal from season two, cast members are given suggestions of things to talk about during their pod dates. He said they are given “talking points” and “questions” before heading into their dates, but they don’t have to use them. Kyle from season two added: “There were kind of topics for the day. It was good if there was a lull in conversation, you just refer to the little notebook and you can drum up conversation.”

However, in other moments, the contestants’ notebooks are very clearly empty.
