According to Sal Perez\u00a0<\/strong>from season two, the singles are given\u00a0“talking points” and “questions” before heading into their dates, but they don’t have to use them.\u00a0<\/p>\n “There were kind of topics for the day,” Kyle Abrams<\/strong>\u00a0added\u00a0in an interview with E!

As for what they eat on set? Kelly said that was one of the aspects of filming she enjoyed most, explaining that contestants are offered a wide range of options while in the pods.\u00a0<\/p>\n “During the first 10 days of filming,” she said, “we could choose from catered food that included options like grilled fish, chicken, steak, vegetables, pasta, rice, and fruit.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
