Among television programs there is always a place for romantic shows. And if in the nineties one of the most successful projects could be called the TV program “Love at First Sight”, today you can often hear a lot of flattering reviews about “Let's get married!”. So, what is this show and what is the secret of its popularity?

Briefly about the history and plot of the project

The year of release of "Let's get married!" considered to be 2008. This program has been on Channel One for 10 years, but despite such an impressive period, the audience does not lose interest in it. Each issue has a similar plot: the hero (heroine) of the program meets with three contenders for his heart, and at the end of the show he chooses the person with whom he would like to try to build relationships in real life. Or perhaps say the phrase that viewers usually look forward to, judging by the reviews - "Let's get married!".

The name of the TV show was not invented by the authors themselves. John Updike - comedy writerthe name of which was borrowed by the scriptwriters of the specified television project. The content of this work by an American writer has nothing to do with the plot of the TV show. The only thing in which you can still find similarities is uncertainty. Pairs on the program do not always add up. Just like John Updike's characters in Let's Get Married! (viewers often write about this in reviews), show participants often maintain a kind of status quo and leave the program without choosing a partner.

Each release of the program follows the same scenario. The protagonist is a bride or groom who is invited to choose from three candidates for the role of a life partner. All applicants are selected in advance according to the criteria specified in the hero's profile. All three candidates choose a bride or groom from hundreds of other people who take part in the project. Applicants for the heart of the main character have the opportunity to study his profile, photos. The bride or groom first meets three potential partners only during the filming of the program.

The essence of the program "Let's get married!" comes down to a fight for the heart and attention of the bride or groom. Applicants are ready to fight for it, demonstrating their skills and talents, making surprises: some surprise with dances or vocals, others with culinary masterpieces of their own making or needlework, others with original souvenirs, etc. All participants are allowed to have a support group during filming - relatives, friends, colleagues whoplay the role of advisers and matchmakers. Each of those who came with the participant has his own idea of what kind of person should be next to their loved one, so the support group actively participates in the conversation, asking various clarifying questions to help the hero make the right choice, in their opinion.

The first host of the program Daria Volga

The Russian actress became the first person to take on the role of matchmaker in Let's Get Married!. There are few reviews about the presenter, since she held her position for less than three months. Her departure from the project was caused by the producers' desire to drastically change the transmission format. According to the management, the show was supposed to have a scandalous format, be discussed by the audience and, accordingly, have high ratings.

According to Daria, several times she had to refuse to voice questions for program participants that the editors demanded. We are talking about tricky and difficult things that would put the hero of the TV show in an awkward position. The purpose of such questions is to get an unexpected reaction from the participants, to develop a conflict, to draw them into a discussion. All this is needed to promote the transfer.

And if Daria Volga could not ask insidious and tricky questions to the participants, then Larisa Guzeeva copes with her task impeccably. According to Daria herself, Guzeeva has more life experience, maturity, and toughness. In fact, that's why she has been running the program for 10 years now.
