A beginner's guide to "Love Is Blind" in Columbus

• Our singles, our romantic spots, our Midwest charm — all are on display for the world to enjoy. And judge.

How it works: The first six 1-hour episodes, out now on Netflix, feature 32 Ohioans "meeting" each other in separate pods, without knowing what their potential partners look like.

• Some pairs will get engaged, and only then meet up in person.
• The couples are whisked away for a tropical vacation to get to know each other.

Zoom in: The cast list will start with plenty of Central Ohio representation, and Columbus is the season's "main location," per Experience Columbus.

More episodes will drop the next three Wednesdays. They'll showcase couples returning to the Buckeye State to meet their partners' families and try "living together."

• The March 4 finale will feature a succession of weddings, where cast members decide at the altar if they still want to get married or split up.

📺 Where to watch: Lots of local watch parties are popping up.

• We'll also share our hot takes over the next few weeks.

For now, enjoy our predictions:

🇩🇪 Schmidt's buffet, anyone? Reddit sleuths claim to have seen cast members "living" at the Jaeger Square apartments last year. (It happens to also be one watch party site.)

• If true, we may see plenty of German Village and the Brewery District.

• Think Fudge Haus dates and romantic dog walks at Scioto Audubon Metro Park.

🎳 Bowling for love. Producers typically organize a group night out with a few adult beverages, and a private party at Pins fits the vibe.

• Or maybe they'll give Makers Social even more exposure following its recent "Shark Tank" appearance.

🌳 Topiary Park and Otherworld. Three shots from the official trailer feature these unusual local landmarks.

🚗 Long-distance drama. The cast list features singles "from Cincinnati to Columbus," and a few Clevelanders too.

• That could fuel tension if partners hail from different places … maybe they'll compromise and move to Dayton or Mansfield?
