Are You the One?

**Are You the One?**is an American reality television series on MTV. It follows 20 people who are living together in a tropical destination to find their perfect match. If the 10 men and 10 women are able to correctly choose all ten perfect matches in ten weeks, they will win $1 million to split among them. Each episode the cast will pair up with whoever they believe their perfect match is to compete in a challenge. The winners of the challenge will go on a date and have a chance to test their match in the truth booth. The cast members will choose one of the winning couples to go to the truth booth to determine if they are a perfect match or not. This is the only way to confirm matches. Each episode ends with a matching ceremony where the couples will be told how many perfect matches they have, but not which matches are correct. Eight of the couples are still together, including Season 1's Ethan Diamond and Amber Lee, who are married and welcomed a daughter soon after their time on the show.

On March 22, 2017, a spin-off show titled Are You the One: Second Chances premiered. 10 perfect matches from previous seasons returned, and the guy/girl teams competed in a litany of games designed to test the strength of their bonds. Each week, the victors were rewarded with cash, and one perfect match were sent packing until the sole perfect match remained.
