Format

The main purpose of Për'puthen is for people to find their significant other. The female contestants are the ones who have to weekly choose one of the men so they can have a date and get to know each other better. The male contestants have the right to accept or decline their invitations. Every day, pre-recorded dates are shown in the studio and discussed between the contestants, the host, and the analyst, often leading to dynamic debates. It is forbidden for contestants to meet up outside of Top Channel studios, or even talk to one another on the phone. When couples develop feelings and want to get into relationships with each other, they leave the program as matched (të përputhur).[6][7][8]
