Three trusted allies join forces to tackle a challenge abounding with pitfalls: playing matchmaker.
They sift through numerous potential candidates on behalf of their searching suitor and take them through a series of appraisals.
The candidates have to endure group dates, hard-hitting questions and even home snoops, all in an attempt to score their adored single friend a date with their perfect match.
Here's the big question that will be answered for contestants during the course of the show: Do your "teammates" know you as well as they think they do, and do they have a clue what's best for you, even if you don't?
Comedian Rob van Vuuren provides running commentary on proceedings.

TX Time: 20h55
Genre: Docu-Reality, Adventure
Captain Phil Harris was a legend on the Bering Sea who spent decades fishing the icy and treacherous waters off the coast of Dutch Harbor, Alaska.
He captained the F/V Cornelia Marie for more than 20 years, and after his tragic passing, his son Josh Harris took over the family business, along with business partner Casey McManus.
Now, an unbelievable discovery of mysterious Hawaiian fishing charts scribbled with Captain Phil's handwriting, notes and statistics, has prompted Deadliest Catch captain and Alaskan legacy fisherman Josh Harris to take a once-in-a-lifetime quest to Hawaii, to learn about the time his late father spent fishing there decades ago.
Phil's fishing charts, found while Josh and Casey were renovating the F/V Cornelia Marie's captain's quarters, date as far back as the early '80s and show all the islands of Hawaii, including one of the most premiere fishing spots in the world - the Kona coast.
They are covered in Phil Harris' handwriting, with detailed notes about fishing adventures and island life.
There are fishing secrets on the charts, but to Josh they have so much more.
To gain a deeper understanding of fishing in Hawaii, the duo enlists the help of Jeff Silva, one of the island's top commercial fisherman to help them learn the challenging fishery and interpret Phil's charts.
This is fishing like Josh and Casey have never fished before and the pair will battle the elements - and each other - as they struggle to catch the island's most lucrative bounty - ahi tuna - and dive deeper into the mysteries of Phil's time in Hawaii.
