Concept

The show's format involves one eligible single (male or female) and three possible suitors, all four of which have been made over with prosthetic makeup. Each "beast" will then go on a date with the singleton. Over the course of the show, two will be eliminated, at which point their make up is removed and their real identity is revealed for the first time. The remaining person is then chosen as the winner to go on a second date.[2]

International versions

The show has been adapted and broadcast in several other countries including America on A&E,[3] Germany on Sixx[4] and Korea on KBS.[5]
