Too Hot to Handle Germany left the viewers with three stunning couples, explicit unexpected events, heartbreaks, rejections, and love triangle dramas. In every dating show, the before-mentioned situations tend to happen, and it makes us wonder whether the shows are scripted. Nevertheless, we still love to see more such predictable dramas between new contestants in every different dating show.
For all the romance lovers who also want to see real people trying to fall in love irrespective of the challenges they’re posed, here are top dating shows to binge-watch.
8 Popular Dating Shows like Too Hot to Handle Germany
Sexy Beasts
Sexy beasts is one of the weirdest yet most interesting dating shows that you will like to watch just to see what the hell is going on. Basically, all the participants will meet each other while covering their faces with animal prosthetics. This method is employed so the contestants will fall in love with someone’s personality, not their appearance. But when the face is revealed, will the feelings still be there?
Love Is Blind
Like the previous one’s concept, Love is Blind allows contestants to connect without seeing each other’s faces. The participants will be placed in a pod, and they will have to communicate with each other through the wall, meaning only the voice will be heard. Then, if they tend to connect, they can propose marriage. Moreover, when the big day comes, the drama kicks in when we wait for the “I Do” statement.
Indian Matchmaking
Mumbai’s matchmaker Sima Taparia, brings her skills to the Indian dating show Indian Matchmaking where Taparia matches participants based on their needs like family values, traditional practices, and such preferences. Unlike other dating shows, this one has a lot of stereotypical issues. Nevertheless, it’s an Indian show, what can we expect? There will be cast and religion-based matchmaking, so be prepared for some gossip.
Are You the One?
In this dating show, experts match the compatible contestants before they can meet. However, none of the contestants know about their compatible matches. This concept is implemented to see whether the contestants somehow end up with the ones the experts already predicted. In season 8, the dating show included an entire queer cast that ranked this dating show #1.
The Ultimatum
The Ultimatum is ultimately messed up, and that’s why we love it. All the contestants are either in a relationship or engaged. However, they are given a chance to date each other so that they can finally decide who they want to marry or, you know, simply break up. This plot is already enough to let us know that we will be witnessing too many infidelity scenes, so have fun with the gala.

Single’s Inferno
Korean dramas are known to be too cute and educational, based on the genre. The Korean movie industry never fails to disappoint since their actors nail the scenes and the directors know exactly what script will cover the audience. Unlike their regular scripts, the Koreans also created a dating show called Single’s Inferno. And damn! The contestants’ visuals are no joke. All of them look extremely handcrafted and the chemistry they share on-screen will surely swoon your heart.
Love Island
Love Island is uncanny to Too Hot to Handle, but there won’t be a robot like Lana watching over them but the real audience. All the fresh new singles are challenged to connect with someone while also given challenges to win the grand prize. The contestants will be sleeping in the same room while couples share beds. More contestants will be added and removed based on the votes given by the UK audience.
Love or Money
The Japanese dating shows Love or Money include three women and one man living together. When the final day of the stay comes, the boy must confess to either of the girls for whom he developed feelings. If the girl accepts, a couple is formed, but if she rejects, she will win the cash prize. Will the girl choose love or money?
