The animal kingdom features some of the most elaborate, flamboyant, and risky courtship rituals. A male’s ostentatious displays can attract nearby predators as effectively as potential mates. Moreover, attracting a cannibalistic female’s attentions can prove fatal, turning a well-intended courtship into a homicide. Despite these shortcomings, animal courtship rituals appear to work remarkably well for their intended audience.Reality TV producers at Discovery+ seem to think that courtship in the animal kingdom is far more straightforward and effective compared to modern human dating. Could adopting animal mating rituals be the key to dating successfully in the 21st century? The streamer’s latest reality dating show, Love in the Jungle, will attempt to answer this perplexing, somewhat far-fetched, question.
8 'Love In The Jungle' Is An Ingenious Dating Experiment
Discovery+ is confident that adopting animal mating habits is the next big thing in dating. The streamer has recruited a group of hopeful singles to participate in what is arguably the most absurd dating experiment on television. According to People, the seven-part series will follow a group of singles as they attempt to find love relying solely on animal courtship rituals.
7 ‘Love In The Jungle’ Will Feature A Diverse Cast
Discovery+ has recruited a 14-member cast to participate in the outrageous dating experiment. The show’s trailer features a diverse group of singles in their early to mid-twenties. The cast appears enthusiastic about participating in the self-deprecating and humorous antics required by the production team.
In the trailer, an unnamed male cast member comments on an aspect of the experiment saying, “It was very weird—but very sexy and weird. I guess this is a new fetish for me.”
6 'Love In The Jungle' Cast Will Rely On Animal Instincts To Find Love
Love in the Jungle cast members will be required to forgo civilization and hone their natural instincts. The participants will have these primal instincts put to the ultimate test on a private Columbian eco-reserve.
According to Discovery, Love in the Jungle presents a chance for the cast to ”…unleash their inner animals and hone their natural instincts in the ultimate pursuit of true love.”
5 Verbal Communication Will Be Prohibited On 'Love In The Jungle'
Love in the Jungle participants will face an astronomically impossible task during filming; forming genuine romantic connections without speaking. In true animal kingdom mating fashion, the production team will prohibit verbal communication between cast members, restricting all exchanges to non-verbal cues.
According to the streamer, “Love in the Jungle will dial up the cringeworthy moments and show contestants struggling to connect, communicate and flirt without speaking.”
4 'Love In The Jungle' Cast Will Participate In Elaborate Mating Rituals
Love in the Jungle’s 14-member cast is expected to participate in outrageous animal mating rituals during filming. “They’ll fight like aggressive toads, strut like flamingos, and bellow like red deer – all in the hope of finding love.” The cast members’ success at executing these courtship rituals will, presumably, determine their chances of finding love on the show. Despite rampant speculation, it remains unclear how the mating rituals will work. However, the trailer suggests that Love in the Jungle will feature a form of banishment for cast members who falter during mating rituals.
3 'Love In The Jungle' Cast Will Identify As Animals
Apart from participating in animal courtship rituals and forgoing verbal communication, cast members will also be expected to personify actual animals.
According to the streamer, “The fourteen singles, who each identify as an animal they feel best resembles their personality, will compete in physical challenges each week that are grounded in real animal mating rituals.” True to this promise, the Love in the Jungle trailer features cast members embodying specific members of the animal kingdom.
2 'Love In The Jungle' Will Feature A Humorous Narrator
Love in the Jungle’s unique premise guarantees that the show will be a tapestry of delightful chaos and shenanigans. That notwithstanding, the show’s creators have added a delectable twist to ascertain maximum enjoyment; a humorous British narrator.
