The Love Test
DESCRIPTION OF SHOW
$100,000 to Unmarried Couples
From the producers of Blind Date comes a primetime ABC reality series where unmarried couples test their commitment to each other to see if love really can conquer all, even if big challenges are thrown at them. Couples may face a series of trials designed to test their strengths and weaknesses to assess if they have long term compatibility. Such trials may touch upon universal themes that are the most common issues that couples argue over, such as money, family (in-laws), sex, jealousy, trust, communication, future goals, etc. Through these series of trials we
will see if the couples have what it takes to stay together.
We are looking for unmarried couples between the ages of 21-35 who are in committed relationships (preferably 1 year or longer; preferably live together.)
(Ideal couples are in their late 20’s to early 30’s have been going out for 2 years or longer and live together.)

$100,000 to each couple if they are chosen for the show and complete the series. There are no eliminations, no vote-offs, no winners and no losers, no exceptions, no fine print. We’re the only show offering this kind of money just for being on. Go to abc.com and click on CASTING at the bottom of the page and you will see 'The Love Test'.
