Celebrity couples: Nico and Christi Panagio, Letshego and Gugu Zulu;
and Elana Afrika-Brendenkamp and Ian Bredenkamp
demonstrate a series challenge at an M-Net announcement of the show in Bantry Bay, Cape Town.
M-Net has announced that the channel's doing a new reality format called Power Couple and the search is on for suitable couples to join the show.
To compete in challenges.
To test your lurve.
To test your knowledge of each other.
To live in a house with seven other couples.
To win cash.
To audition in February.
Here's a synposis of the show followed by the audition details:
Power Couple will test the relationships of eight couples, who will move into a luxurious villa somewhere in Cape Town. These couples will compete at thrilling, nerve-wracking challenges, during which they have to illustrate how much they know, trust or love their partners. Based on the outcome of these tasks, two couples will be up for elimination each week and the others will decide whom they would like to keep in the game.
These tough, spectacular challenges – which will sometimes include high-adrenaline action adventures - will allow the couples to accumulate thousands of Rands by betting on whether their loved one will be able to complete a task, without knowing how much their partner has invested in their ability to succeed. If they get it right, the money will be added to their kitty – but if the partner fails, the money will be subtracted from the amount they carry through to the end of the show.
Who's the show looking for?
Adventurous couples who are willing to do crazy and wild things for love.
