Here's everything you need to know about the Stan Original, Love Triangle.

So... What is Love Triangle about?

Love Triangle is a reality dating show all about giving participants the partner that is right for them... but you don't know what they look like.

The Stan Original series challenges a group of single individuals to let go of their idea of what a perfect partner should look like, and instead choose their suitor based on a deeper connection. 

That's right, Love Triangle participants won't know what the person they're dating looks like.

While they'll be able to text and call potential suitors, they won't discover what their match looks like until they go on their first blind date. In an extraordinary twist, neither will the viewers at home. 

The participants will be put to the ultimate test. Will they be physically attracted to one another when they first meet? What happens if they don't? Will they be able to form a genuine connection despite the lack of attraction?

Of course, the couples will face yet another challenge when they move in together.

The experience may be explosive, as it will undoubtedly make or break the pairs.

From: QLD

Occupation: Electrician

He's a tradie from Townsville working for his family business. Most of Kyle's friends have settled down and while he had his own long-term relationship in his 20s and knows all about being a great partner, he's starting to feel a little bit left behind as a single man in his 30s.

Kyle wants to find someone who understands all his little quirks and his uniquely dry humour.

Lisa, aged 32.

From: WA

Occupation: Accounts Payable

She's looking for a partner with the same relationship goals as her – marriage and children. Lisa's last serious relationship ended when she was 23 and she's since been single for almost 10 years.

Lisa has a love-hate relationship with modern dating and wants to meet the right person as organically as possible. She's funny, she's honest and she values someone who is not only a good communicator but someone with a sex drive as strong as hers.

Yannick, aged 32.

From: NSW

Occupation: Sports Lawyer

He's ambitious, he's confident, and he's downright charming. Yannick was born in Australia and has a Sri Lankan, Portuguese and French background.

He describes himself as someone who has no difficulty meeting girls and because of that simple fact, he's not on any dating apps. Dubbed a 'walking Tinder', Yannick has a strong work ethic and is very close with his family. After being single for a year, he's looking for something serious.

Madi, aged 30.

From: VIC

Occupation: Events Manager

She's outgoing and vibrant but she's sick and tired of going home alone after a day of being the life of the party. Madi is extremely focussed on her career, which means it's left little time for dating in the past. 

While she is charming, bubbly and not in short supply when it comes to great friendships, Madi admits she's remained unlucky in love. She wants a partner who can tear all her walls down.

Alex, aged 31.

Alex enjoys the courting stage, but he wants to get it right. He wants his next relationship to be his last.

Ly, aged 28.

From: VIC

Occupation: Counsellor

She is described as a playful pocket rocket. Ly is Australian-born Vietnamese and is the youngest of five girls and finds it tough to juggle the traditional values her family holds with the world of modern dating. 

While Ly is someone who spends her days listening to other people's relationship problems (and loves it), she wants someone to come home to and share her days with. Ly is used to usually dating Asian guys but is open to the process of being paired with someone new.
