M6 continues to dig the same furrow. AT ” Love is in the meadow aired since 2005 and Married at first sight On the air since 2016, a new dating show joins prime time tonight. With “Love at First Sight at the End of the World”, a Fremantle production, the broadcaster positioned itself very skilfully on the big summer themes: love, travel and a change of scenery. “It’s an adaptation of a Dutch format called ‘B&B of Love’ that has been a hit for three summers,” explains Déborah Huet, director of programming at Fremantle France. They’ve even done spin-offs! “.

The concept ? Five men and women have left France or Belgium to settle abroad, where they have opened guest houses. Alex (33) lives in Cambodia, Marie-Charlotte (40) has been enchanted by Ecuador, Jonathan (38) has settled in Canada, Laurence (55) has chosen Spain and Marc (61) for Morocco. All are hearts to take away. But maybe not for much longer. Three applicants are preparing to join each of these expatriates to get to know each other better. How did the production go upstream? “Each guest house owner has created a composite portrait of his/her ideal partner. Our casting teams threw bottles overboard on social media and said, “Are you looking for love?” Scared of moving abroad? Are you ready for an extraordinary adventure? explains Déborah Huet. After the applications were received, we tried to carry out a “matchmaking” (connection of two people through affinity). Then we showed photos to each owner who had to choose five or six. Video meetings were organized, where everyone chose three of them. It remains to be seen if the destination discovered on the day of departure and the new life that comes with it will seduce the suitors … After eight days (or less if you feel it doesn’t fit) both fell in love, or each takes his life back to how it was before.

From dating at prime time also comes on TF1

If M6 relies on that dating In prime time, she’s not the only one. At the beginning of the school year, TF1 announced that it would broadcast a dating program for the first time at 9 p.m. “My Mom, Your Dad, Love and I,” presented by Hélène Mannarino, focuses on eight single parents in search of love. Her children support her in this quest, which is ignored by the main interested parties … For its part, TFX broadcasts “Time to Love – The Wheel of Love” or how to blindly meet eight suitors on “Time Credit” Hundred Days.
