MTV is all set to air the ultimate game show titled, Love at First Lie, and fans can’t wait to spot all the liars. The series will premiere on October 12 on MTV at 9:30 pm ET and the first episode will be an hour and a half long. Fans will also be able to watch the show on MTV's website and Paramount+ after its television premiere.

The season will have 12 episodes and the winner of the show will be able to take up to $100,000 home if they play the game right. The couples on the show will have to spot fake couples in their midst, and fans will also get a chance to do so while watching the episodes. The show will be hosted by actress Tori Spelling and viewers from over 170 countries will attempt to spot the liars.


Rules and format of Love at First Lie

Love at First Lie will feature eight couples living together, but some of these couples are actors who might not even know much about their fake partners. Together, the couples on the show will participate in many relationship challenges which will help the participants determine the fake duos.

At the end of each episode, the contestants will participate in a truth ceremony to vote off one potential fake pair. If they are successful in the task, they will receive $25,000 in their prize money fund and if not, they will get nothing. The last couple standing will take home all the money in the fund, which can be as high as $100,000.

The series description reads:

"Play along at home as host Tori Spelling invites eight couples to test their observational skills as they try to uncover who among them is truly in love and who's faking their romance, with the winning pair taking home a big cash prize."

As suggested by Tori Spelling, fans can also try to spot the liars while watching the show, but they will not receive any prize money like the Love at First Lie participants.
