More about Are You the One? season 9
Before beginning the series, the producers have already paired up the 22 contestants based on an algorithm, which will a ‘perfect match.’ The singles will be sent on dates with different contestants every week and at the end of the episode, they will engage in a matching ceremony.
The series description reads,
"Twenty-two recently single men and women from around the globe were put through an extensive matchmaking process to find their ‘perfect match.’ Hailing from around the world and living together under one roof at an international location, these singles will have a shared goal: to find the one. Each week, the singles will have an opportunity to find their match. And if they can identify all 11 perfect matches at the same time, they’ll split a massive cash prize."
The producers will not reveal the 'perfect matches' until the end of the season. If they are able to identify their correct partners and get involved in a romantic relationship with them, the cast will be able to divide the prize money equally.
A limited amount of money will be deducted from the $1,000,000 prize money for each incorrect match. Howard Schultz, Jeff Spangler, Rob LaPlante, and Scott Jeffress are the producers of the season. Season 9 of the show will be hosted by relationship specialist and former beauty queen Kamie Crawford.
A new episode of Are You the One? season 9 will be dropped on Paramount+ every Wednesday. The series is shifting from MTV to Paramount+ after 8 seasons of broadcast.
