TLC’s Brand-New Relationship Series ‘Love & Translation’ Premieres in Africa on Valentine’s Day
Embarking on an exciting adventure to find love, three American men and twelve international women travel from across the world to live on a remote paradise island together in TLC’s newest relationship series, LOVE & TRANSLATION, premiering on TLC Africa on Wednesday, 14 February @ 20:00 CAT.
[Johannesburg, SA]: In TLC’s brand-new relationship series, LOVE & TRANSLATION, three American bachelors travel to paradise, where they will be joined by twelve women from nine different countries who don’t speak any English. Without a shared language or the use of a translator, this series explores how singles looking for love come together in an attempt to find a connection. In spending time together and focusing on getting to know one another, LOVE & TRANSLATION will showcase raw, genuine moments in a unique dating environment. LOVE & TRANSLATION premieres across Africa on Wednesday, 14 February @ 20:00 CAT on TLC Africa.
“As a leader in love and relationship series, we wanted to break outside the mould of our day-to-day and experiment in a new type of setting,” said Howard Lee, President of Discovery Networks & TLC. “LOVE & TRANSLATION will bring that rollercoaster of emotions our audience loves when genuine connections in unconventional relationships spark.”
With challenges that include utilising the five senses such as uninterrupted eye gazing and pheromone attraction tests, as well as adrenaline-pumping group date activities, these singles will try to learn about each other without the gift of language. And if the singles aren’t feeling that loving feeling with anyone, they can pack up their bags and look for love elsewhere. LOVE & TRANSLATION aims to discover what it takes to make a love connection when language is too foreign. Below are the singles who will be taking part in the new series:
American Singles from left to right: Kahlil (24) from Texas, Dylan (21) from Florida, Tripp (30) from California
International Singles top row from left to right: Sara (20) from Italy, Assia (21) from France, Jhenyfer (24) from Brazil, and Jin (32) from South Korea
