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]

Reception

Për'puthen is one of the most watched Balkan shows of the recent years.[9] In November 2020, for a total of 60 episodes of the second season only, Për'puthen gained over 100 million views on YouTube.[10] The show continued to grow in popularity and it eventually reached a total of 500 million views for the whole second season, days prior to its finale in May 2021.[11]

Host Bora Zemani was criticized by Perputhen participants many times, for cold and rude behaviour towards them. Zemani was also criticized by fans for creating unnecessary debates between the Perputhen participants and also for telling Ledjana Prenga to leave the studio.
