The contestants are required to attend a variety of workshops while being forbidden from kissing, sexual contact, or self-gratification. Participants are encouraged to establish genuine connections through this activity. Any time a rule is broken, the $100,000 grand prize is reduced. In each season, there are ten new contestants, though additional contestants may join later in the season. As a result, contestants who are unable to establish connections in the house or commit to the process may be eliminated from the competition.
