The premise of the show follows a group of single men and women who go on dates with each other in pods where they can speak to each other but not see each other. If they form a strong enough romantic connection, they will become engaged - and only then will they meet and see what each other looks like for the first time.
Weeks later, after fast tracking their relationship, they will stand at the altar together and decide whether or not to commit to each other for a lifetime. . . Yes, just weeks after meeting they decide if they will legally get married or not.
The concept, unsurprisingly proved a big hit with reality TV viewers, who enjoyed watching the highs and lows of the relationships onscreen all before the nail-biting will they or won’t they moment when they are stood at the altar. There have now been seven series of the original US version, and also versions from other countries, including the UK.
The approach to dating is certainly bold, and those who opt to take part are brave. But, as the saying goes, fortune favours the brave. For a lucky few, the love experiment did work and they are still married now.
