This dating show is more of a competition than it is a relationship experiment. In this series, which was inspired by the English show of the same title, a group of singles are sent to a tropical locale, where they are isolated from the rest of the world. They then have to make it through a series of challenges and surprise eliminations, with the public ultimately voting for the champions of Love Island.
The U.K. version of the series is streaming on Hulu, and a new season of Love Island USA premieres on Peacock July 19, 2022.
In this Netflix series, a group of sexy singles are required to keep their hands to themselves while living under one roof. The host, a robot named Lana, gives them various tasks to complete throughout the show, but the main challenge is staying celibate. If contestants violate the rules, money is deducted from the $100,000 grand prize.
Seasons one and two are streaming now on Netflix.
You have to be living under a rock to not have heard of ABC's The Bachelor. The reality show kicked off its first season in 2002 and is currently in its 26th season. The premise is simple: A Bachelor or Bachelorette date multiple singles until they decide who is worthy of their final rose, at which point they become engaged.
Like most dating shows, there have been the rare couple that actually gets married, but most of them call it quits before they're able to walk down the aisle. To look back at the show's history, check out our story here.
The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are streaming on Hulu.
TLC has grown a cult following with its series about couples navigating the K-1 visa approval process, which requires by law that an American must bring their foreign fiancé to the U.S. and get married within 90 days for the partner to receive a green card. While the couples have usually met or messaged for months before their marriage, living together typically proves to be a challenge.
There's no shortage of episodes to watch, as there are numerous spinoff shows, including Before the 90 Days, After the 90 Days and Pillow Talk. To see these series, check out Discovery+.
While Love Is Blind contestants get to at least introduce themselves in the pods, these Lifetime stars literally meet at the altar. The newlyweds are paired by a team of experts, including a spiritualist, a relationship coach and a sociologist, so there's at least some rationale in the couplings. They then live as a married couple for eight weeks before sharing whether they want to stay married or divorce on Decision Day.
So far, there have been a few success stories, but the results are mixed.
Seasons five through 12 of Married at First Sight are streaming on Hulu.
This series stands out among the rest, as it's one of the few shows to test people who have already been dating. Producers find struggling couples and send them to Hawaii to see if they will be tempted into adultery. As one can assume, there's no shortage of drama.
Three seasons of Temptation Island are streaming now on Peacock. Season four is currently airing on USA Network.
This Korean dating show doesn't pair people as much as it tests their willingness to endure tough circumstances. A group of singles are sent to a remote island, where they are left with only the necessities, like a barrel of water, tents and raw food. They're able to leave and enjoy air conditioning, a soft bed and room service if they find a partner to spend the night with. While in the inferno, they can't discuss their career or age, forcing the contestants to get to know each other on a deeper level.
The first season is streaming now on Netflix.
Indian matchmaker Sima Taparia attempts to connect singles in America and India, giving viewers an inside look at the custom.
