The 'Perfect Match' Season 1: Your Guide

Just when you think that Netflix has reached the peak of reality-dating-show chaos (*cough* The Ultimatum *cough*), here comes Perfect Match. As a Valentine's Day treat, the streaming giant has gathered dozens of contestants from its slate of reality programs and given them all the chance to find their twin flame (at least among their fellow Netflix alums). The first four episodes landed on the platform early this morning, and there has already been enough drama to fit at least half a season of Too Hot to Handle and maybe a full season of The Circle.

The gameplay for this show takes a page from the aforementioned THTH and its predecessor Love Island: put several conventionally-hot singles into one villa and make them match up immediately. The day after a matching, the pairs go through a compatibility test to determine who's the best couple at the time. That duo then gets ultimate power: they get to go to the Control Room to choose two new people to go on dates with other contestants (or themselves), no matter how taken or happy in their current pairs the chosen are. After the newcomers test those connections, there's another matching, and anyone who doesn't match up is immediately dumped from the villa.

It's been a while since Netflix has dropped a dating competition that seems genuinely fun, rather than a "social experiment" that makes viewers feel conflicted about whether love is real. Perfect Match is that breezier, but still drama-filled watch that becomes an immediate can't-miss, thanks largely to its cast of familiar faces (including host Nick Lachey, because of course he's there). Read on to learn which faces from the streamer's most infamous shows have returned for a chance at more followers—I mean, love.
