Host Terrence J. will help coach the cast and guide them to find “their true feelings and follow their hearts.” This season will also feature Dr. Frankie, “a relationship expert who works with the singles to help them become better daters and navigate between drama, poor choices and reoccurring patterns in relationships.” He will also help identify potentially negative current dating trends like ghosting, benching, and stashing, and test how likely they are to partake in those trends.

This season’s contestants include Aasha Wells, 22, of Miami Beach, Florida, Amber Martinez, 23, of Yonkers, New York, Basit Shittu, 25, of Brooklyn, New York, Brandon Davis, 25, of Salt Lake City, Utah, Danny Prikazsky, 27, of San Jose, California, Jasmine Olson, 21, of Oxford, Mississippi, Jenna Brown, 25, Bloomington, Indiana, Jonathan Short, 28, of Panama City Beach, Florida, Justinavery “Justin” Palm, 24, of Palmdale, California, Kai Wes, 26, Chepachet, Rhode Island, Kari Snow, 23, of East Hanover, New Jersey, Kylie Smith, 24, of Salt Lake City, Utah, Max Gentile, 25, of Columbus, Ohio, Nour Fraij, 25, of Kenilworth, New Jersey, Paige Cole, 21, of Allen, Texas, and Remy Duran, 27, of New York, New York.

Are You the One? is breaking barriers – and getting much more difficult! On Thursday, May 30, MTV announced that season 8 of the dating competition series will include 16 sexually fluid singles looking for their perfect match – and that $1 million prize.

The show will be the first sexually fluid reality dating competition in the United States. Terrence J. will return to host the season, which will follow its standard format – the singles will head to Hawaii and search for who the experts have decided is their perfect match. If all of the cast can find their match, they will split a $1 million prize.

This season has also added relationship expert Dr. Frankie, who will help the singles navigate between drama, poor choices and relationship patterns. According to MTV’s press release, Dr. Frankie will also help “identify current disaster-dating trends such as ghosting, benching and stashing, and tests them on their willingness to fall into these painful trends.”

Dr. Frankie will most likely also help the singles to discover who they’re meant to be with – and they’ll need the help! In the past, each single struggled to find their match within the group of the opposite sex. With gender no longer part of the picture, that also means the competition will be more difficult: With 16 singles, there’s many more options!

In the past seven seasons of the show, every cast has succeeded and won the $1 million, except the season 5 group.

As usual, Are You the One? will tell the stories of navigating relationships; this season will also dive into coming out moments discovering sexual and gender identity.

The season 8 cast of Are You the One? had already lost their chance at $1 million, but they still had the opportunity to win $750,000. On the Monday, September 9, finale, the final match up ceremony revealed every perfect match — and if the houseguests got it right.

Going into the finale, they already had five couples figured out. During week 6, Aasha and Brandon became the first — and only — confirmed perfect match. However, many of the cast used process of elimination to figure out that Basit and Jonathan, Jenna and Paige, Danny and Kai and Nour and Jasmine were also perfect matches.

That meant there were six floaters: Amber, Kylie, Justin, Kari, Max and Remy. Luckily, Amber/Kylie and Max/Kari had the chance to go on a date this week and Amber/Kylie were sent into the truth booth. Although they had bonded and were clearly interested in one another, they found out they were not a match.

Since that was the last chance for the house to the guarantee a match before the final ceremony, everyone was upset. Kari and Max both said they were 100 percent sure they were a match so the other four had to figure things out. Amber and Justin had a physical connection since the start, but when they all sat down to talk about their real lives — for the first time all summer, apparently — Remy’s personality clearly made more sense for Amber. That said, when most of the cast decided to go skinny dipping later that night, Amber ended up in the Boom Boom room with Justin.

At the final match up ceremony, everyone had to make their final decision — and they made the right ones! The cast of Are You the One?: Come One, Come All took home $750,000.
