Are you the one is an United States reality television show on MTV. It's actually a dating contest in which 10 boys and 10 girls have to find their perfect match within 10 weeks. If they complete this challenge, they win the lucrative sum of 1 million dollars or 50000 dollars each.
In advance all the participants have to fill in a comprehensively questionnaire. Afterwards the makers of the programme examine the results and with the help of advanced computer software they put 10 couples together who match the best according to the questionnaire. Now it's time to put the 20 young people, all excited to find perfect love and win a lot of money, in the same house, Let the hunt begin!
Each episode consist of 4 parts. First of all there is a challenge, a contest. The 10 girls or boys (one week the boys, one week the girls) have to battle each other to win a date. The 3 winners of the contest can pick the guy/girl they want as their date. The second part is the date, this is always something special for example a walk through the jungle or a huge death ride. While 3 couples are on a date, the others can vote for who they want to go in 'the truth booth'. The truth booth reveals if the couple in it is a match or not. This is the third stage of an episode, after the votes are count, the chosen couple goes immediately in the truth booth and get to know if they're a match or not. If not, this is a wasted chance for everyone because a 'perfect match' makes it a lot easier to find the other matches. Each episode ends with a match ceremony. During this ceremony each boy can pick the girl who he thinks is his perfect match (the other week it's the girls turn). After every boy has chosen his girl, beams of light start to appear. Each beam of light represents a perfect match, unfortunately they don't tell which matches are correct. This makes it a lot harder.
There are always complications for example 2 people who aren't a match fall in love and keep spending time together. This is a waste of time because it makes it harder to find the ten matches which leads to angry housemates.
It's the second season and last year they were able to complete the task.
