Reality TV may have peaked with the new polyamorous show Couple to Throuple, and host Scott Evans has revealed exactly what viewers can expect to go down.
The series follows four curious couples who are shipped off to paradise and introduced to a bunch of singles that they can integrate into their relationship – if they choose to.
During an interview with Chattr, Scott said the reality TV show is compelling because of the recent rise in couples exploring outside of their relationship.
“More and more people are curious more and more people are trying non-monogamy or incorporating some element of non-monogamy in the relationship,” he said.
“I think we’re at 33% of people are saying that they would prefer that their relationship have some aspects, some dynamic of non-monogamy in their working in their relationship.”
How Couple to Throuple helps viewers explore polyamorous relationships
Obviously, the title of the show is self-explanatory – and it’s centred around opening up couples to other options. However, Scott pointed out how an inside look at polyamorous relationships may help outsiders understand them better.
“I think it’s it’s a very interesting look at what happens with relationships and individuals when they’re honest and open about what they’re curious about what their desires are,” he said.
Scott added that watching a show like this with a partner could be the first step towards a polyamorous relationship.
“If we were able to say to our partner, ‘Here’s something I’m curious about, here’s something I think I’m, I’m into, what do you think about that, whether we go through with it or not?'”
“Just having a soft place to land matters to somebody and makes such a big difference in how we build relationships with our partners and with ourselves,” he said.
“Certainly, if we’re able to have better, clearer, and more honest conversations with ourselves and with our partners about what we want, and that those things are okay, regardless of whether we pursue them or not, then I think we’re definitely taking a step in the right direction.”
