Couple #1: Ava (product manager) and Noah (engineer)
All work and no play for theseForbes30 Under 30 powerhouses. They’re all about ice baths and 5 a.m. wake-up calls to hit the ground running.
Couple #2: Mikayla and Trevor (relationship influencers)
If you don’t know #Trekayla or #boyfriendgoals, are you even on IG? Catch us swooning over Trevor’s latest date night inspos every week.
Couple #3: Daniel (lawyer) and Selena (model)
Selena is already semifamous and most likely just doing this to boost her modeling career, but she should be entertaining to watch. Checking the archives, these two just hard-launched their relationship right before coming on the show.
Couple #4: Brittany (waitress) and Jaxon (works on a farm)
Just a small-town couple living in a lonely world. Their social media consists mostly of cows and baby sheep, which I’m not mad about.
Couple #5: Kendall and Tarun (food influencers)
Their favorite word isumami.If you ever wanted to see 10,000 images of uber-fancy food on tiny plates, check out their feeds.
Couple #6: Firefly and Bacon (occupations unknown)
Even when they’re not at Burning Man, these two bring the playa with them year-round. If you like badasses who can weld as well as they meld, this is the couple for you.
Couple #7: Chase (finance consultant) and Alice (math teacher)
Not much on the social media front. He’s into intramural lacrosse, surfing, and eating sausages (#SausageFest, #itsnotwhatyouthinkhorndogs). She likes math, presumably.
Couple #8: Zya and Dominic (lifestyle influencers)
Zya and Dominic show how you can dominate life and love on their YouTube channel. Subscribe to get tips on leveling up in leading the pack, assuming you’re alpha enough to do it.
Couple #9: Naiah (tarot reader) and Sage (occupation unknown)
They’re all about good vibes and knowing way too much about astrology. Naiah is into tarot and sells scented candles and healing stones.
Couple #10: Bella (social media manager) and Blake (fitness coach)
I strongly suspect Bella and Blake live at the gym. The two are fitness influencers, but it seems like there’s trouble brewing in paradise for them. Check out these comments from Bella on Blake’s latest post:

Chapter Five
Hell Is a Three-Legged Limbo Race
Chase is chatting with our producer, Leah, when I rejoin them on the sofa. Leah holds up a bundle of bright-purple Velcro straps. “Let’s get you two tied up.”
Leah takes my leg and snuggles it up next to Chase’s leg, binding us together from our ankles to our knees. I’m a foot shorter than Chase, so I can already tell this is going to throw us off as we try to stand up.
