Për'puthen
Për'puthen (transl. They match, a pun on the phrase "They kiss") is an Albanian dating reality television series that premiered on 22 September 2019 on Top Channel.[1][2] The series is created by Olsa Muhameti, directed by Erion Hasanllari, and currently presented by Megi Pojani; with the participation of Neda Balluku and Aulona Musta as the show's opinionists.[3][4][5] The first season aired only on Sundays, but due to its success, the show expanded to five days a week, from Monday to Friday, starting in its second season. FormatThe main purpose of Për'puthen is for people to find their significant other. The female contestants are the ones who have to weekly choose one of the men so they can have a date and get to know each other better. The male contestants have the right to accept or decline their invitations. Every day, pre-recorded dates are shown in the studio and discussed between the contestants, the host, and the analyst, often leading to dynamic debates. It is forbidden for contestants to meet up outside of Top Channel studios, or even talk to one another on the phone. When couples develop feelings and want to get into relationships with each other, they leave the program as matched (të përputhur).[6][7][8] Series overview
