Love Is Blindinvites you to watch strangers fall in love with each other988 Archives sight unseen. But it's hard to focus on those love stories when all you can think about is a massive set of gold wine glasses. Allow me to explain.

Season 2 of Netflix's intriguing, well-intentioned, deeply unhinged dating show premiered on Feb. 18, and fans watched contestants fall in love in "the pods," private rooms with speakers where they can converse with but not see each other. After intimate conversations, a few strong couples get engaged in the pods and are allowed to meet IRL. Then, over the course of several weeks they take a romantic vacation, move in together, meet each other's families, and prepare for their weddings.

Through nearly every each step of that chaotic journey, one unexpected prop was prominently present: golden wine goblets.

In Season 2, the extremely extra drinkware is first spotted on the Love Is Blind set. Contestants cheers'd with the opaque metal wine glasses and faithfully sipped from them during pod conversations, but when they left the set to embark on their romantic Mexico getaways, the wine glasses followed! Though the hotel did feature classic, transparent glassware, the gold metal wine glasses returned after paradise. They were spotted in apartments, at a beach reunion, at parents' houses, at the wedding dress venue, and even at the freaking ceremonies themselves.

These glasses get so much screen time and photobomb so many serious shots in Season 2 that we have no choice but to dub them the Roy Kent of wine glasses. They're here, they're there, they're every-fucking-where.

It's worth noting that there are two sets of glasses in Season 2. One is a long-stemmed gold wine glass that's mostly muted gold, with about an inch of shiny gold around the rim, and the other is a stemless gold glass. Both styles become ubiquitous on the show and appear to be stainless steel or metal of some sort. At one point the stemless glasses even held boiling water. Fascinating.

The goblets are fit for royalty, and when asked why they're everywhere, series creator Chris Coelen told Variety it's because he likes them.

"I don't know. It's something I like. When you turn on the show, you know it's our show. It's a very authentic, really true following of these people's journeys, but I like the fact that we have this sort of connective tissue with that in a really light way, it's fun."

The true love story in Love Is BlindSeason 2 is between Coelen and the golden wine goblets. The contestants might not last together, but we have a feeling Coelen and these gold wine glasses are forever.

The first nine episodes of Love Is BlindSeason 2 are now streaming on Netflix. The season finale will stream on Feb. 25.
