Contestants had to shed their inhibitions and communicate freely with their partners. The purpose of the electric chair was to make the couples go through the same intensity of emotions their respective partner was going through. It was definitely the most emotionally draining task for the contestants as well as the professors.
Commenting on the task, Karan said, "Love school is not a show about winning a task, but it's also about getting the maximum out of a task. We really wanted the couples to understand why the task is happening and get something out of it. For example, say communication, there is always an individual in a couple who is more assertive or dominating than the other.
So when we do a communication task I wanted a lot of these problems to come out with it. So what happens is sometimes we say a lot of things to our partner and we do not think about it. I wanted these kids to speak their heart out but also feel that when you speak something you need to know what it feels like. If it is hurtful then you should feel the hurt."
