Prove your couple is stronger than the other with DNA tests and various social tests. This is the experience about forty couples have undergone by participating in Noovo’s new daily reality show. “How much do you love me?”.
Each week, four couples of different backgrounds, ages and regions will drop off their bags at a luxurious home in Rosemère, in the Laurentians, where they will try to promote their union but also to get their hands on a maximum of $3,500.
During the stay, under the watchful eye of sexologist Sylvie Lavallée, the couples are subjected to seemingly mundane couple activities, discover the results of their love and sexual chemistry through a DNA test, and are forced to profess their love in front of others.
The couples have to evaluate each other several times, especially upon arrival, just after the first impression, but also before leaving the house when the ice is broken. At each event they have the chance to pocket $500 and at the end, after the final scoring, the sum of $2,000.

“At the end of the day there’s also a social game, affinities that develop between couples, and that can help with Thursday’s final vote,” said Martin Vachon, who hosts Wednesday’s show with humor and empathy.
From the first episode, which will be presented next Monday at 7.30 p.m., the public will also be able to witness certain tensions between the first four couples, the bodybuilders, the babies, the fashionistas and the ex-colleagues.
But “the beauty of this ‘show’ is that every week there are completely different stories that make us laugh and cry with laughter, but also make us move,” recalls the humorist and actor since Los Angeles, where he is currently shooting the documentary.
“I often cried when declaring love. Sometimes couples choose someone who is not used to declaring their love, sometimes it’s really touching or the story is incredible. There are couples who have gone through gigantic hardships and are still together years later. It’s beautiful, it’s inspiring,” he added.
“But every week the reveal of the love chemistry and sex chemistry test results, it’s amazing. It really brings out the pride of couples and the competitive side of some,” said Martin Vachon, admitting to having also played the game with his wife for the past 15 years.
At the end of the week, the couples also leave with their detailed analyzes that we don’t see on TV, explaining upstream each of the variants studied and compared by the scientists.

“The stars were aligned”
Before Bell received the offer, the host was already working on a game show concept. a kind of competition to find the couple with the best chemistry in all of Quebec. When he was offered the position, Martin Vachon was certain that the stars were in place. “I’ve never felt more on my X than the animation of ‘How much do you love me?’ I’m free to be the Martin I am, to have fun, to be a big fool, to be empathetic and truthful,” the host told QMI agency.
Couples who want to try their luck can register at Noovo.ca while filming is still ongoing.
“How much do you love me?” will air on Noovo starting April 3, Monday through Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
