The new Netflix reality TV dating show Perfect Match was a hit, and now the winners and their prize has been confirmed. Unlike on other reality TV dating shows, the prize for Perfect Match wasn't revealed until the very end. While the winners of Perfect Match season 1 made sense, some recent updates about the couple might have left viewers disappointed.
After airing many successful reality TV shows, Perfect Match season 1 gathered some of Netflix's biggest stars for a chance to compete for love. Singles joined the show from a variety of Netflix shows, including Too Hot To Handle, The Circle, Love Is Blind, The Mole, and more. Cast members were tasked with coupling up to compete in challenges, with the winning couple getting to select which newcomers entered the home. This caused some couples to break up as they were met with temptation, while everyone who found themselves without a partner was sent home. Meanwhile, eliminated cast members later had the chance to re-enter the villa before castmates voted on a winning couple.
How The Perfect Match Season 1 Ended
Over the season, many couples got together and broke up. One couple who was able to withstand many issues was Too Hot To Handle season 3's Georgia Hassarati and The Mole star Dom Gabriel. The couple got together after Dom was dumped by Francesca Farago. He later asked Georgia to be his girlfriend after Ines Tazi asked Dom to match with her; Dom chose to prove his loyalty to Georgia. Dom and Georgia were then voted the Perfect Match season 1 winners. While no prize was announced at the start of the show, host Nick Lachey revealed that the winners would be gifted a one-week vacation to anywhere in the world.
Did The Perfect Match Season 1 Winners Stay Together?
Since Dom and Georgia were voted the winners of Perfect Match season 1, it was clear their fellow housemates believed in them. However, their week-long vacation might have not come to fruition, as the couple did not stay together for long after filming. Georgia recently got back together with her on-again-off-again fellow Australian Harry Jowsey, who was previously in a relationship with Dom's Perfect Match ex Francesca. Francesca has made it clear that things with Georgia are now tense, while she was unhappy her friend wanted to match with Dom after she dumped him for Damien Powers. Francesca has even alleged that Georgia left Dom for Harry after she met Harry once Perfect Match filming concluded.
Overall, the prize for Perfect Match season 1 might not seem that impressive. Many competition shows offer six and even seven-digit cash prizes to be split among a large cast. However, Netflix's Perfect Match made it clear from the start that the aim was not to win money. While the show focused on romantic connections, the cast members all saw a healthy boost in their social media followings, with Perfect Match's Dom being named one of the standout stars. Meanwhile, the Perfect Match season 1 cast members also got to enjoy a four-week vacation in beautiful Panama City alongside friends with some romance.
