Ilary Blasi hosts The Couple: how it works
After having said no to hosting “La Talpa” and “L'Isola dei Famosi”, Ilary Blasi has decided to make his return to Mediaset at the helm of a new reality game, “The Couple”. The format is "a exciting mix of competition, relationships, emotions and twists", we read in the press release.
The Couple will see both famous faces and ordinary people compete: not only real couples, but also different bonds such as family, friends, colleagues and even bitter rivals. All united by one fundamental element: participating as a couple and facing a forced cohabitation made of unexpected events, strategies and the constant tension of having to protect and conquer a rich prize pool.
The contestants will have to demonstrate resistance not only against their opponents, but also against their own frailties, facing tests that will put both mind and body to the test.
In the end, alone a pair will be able to overcome every obstacle and delete all the others. The final verdict will be left to the public alone.
