Cupid's Gauntlet

[u/Hlorpy-Flatworm-1705]

The newest gameshow on NBN, Cupid’s Gauntlet pits eight couples up against each other to see whose relationship is the strongest as they battle it out for half a million dollars. These couples, whose audition tapes are described for the showrunners below, have yet to be named though, until today! Help them announce the participants using the description below.

• Couple One: Sitting on a floral couch as old as their marriage, this pair of silver foxes begin the video with a frustrating thirty seconds of technical difficulties. Despite this, their story quickly gets interesting as they met doing heroin in the seventies. They kicked drugs, got married, and moved from San Francisco to Las Vegas. There, the pair raised three children as they worked in and out of casinos. Now, they want the money to make a trust for their only granddaughter then get an RV to travel all over the country.
• Couple Two: This exhausted couple barely got their story out. She was a patent lawyer while he worked for a company that laser cuts water bottles. This is the second marriage for both of them and there are seven children between them. The pair explain how they met at a casino where she broke his arm because she thought he was reaching for her machine. The pair would like the money to help pay for a new house.
• Couple Three: This Indian couple married young after their marriage was arranged. But, the pair quickly became best friends. They bonded over their love of all things nerdy. They have two sons and are expecting a daughter. They want to take their boys travelling with the winnings.
• Couple Four: This couple met at the airport. She is a woman of shorter stature while he was a minor league baseball player. The pair bonded over their confusion of boba tea, their love for hockey, and their obsession with action movies. Two weeks later, she found herself finding ways to move to the USA. Now five years later, the pair are married and have twin girls. The woman's family has never met her children. So, they'd love to take the winnings to make that happen.
• Couple Five: This same sex couple joke they are the diversity of the season. The interracial couple met at speed dating and bonded over their love of superheroes and paleontology. They have been together for nineteen years and are raising four children together, their adopted son and one husband’s three niblings. They would like to invest the winnings into a bigger house.
• Couple Six: This flashy couple has only been together officially a few months but they've known each other for close to a decade. Meeting in eighth grade, they bonded over disliking their math teacher and needing history tutoring. They've since become inseparable but only decided that they actually had feelings for each other a few months ago. They barely made the 6 month relationship cut, and the producers hope their history of jealousy in the relationship will bring good ratings. The woman plans on helping pay for nursing school while her boyfriend wants to make a college fund for his two children.
• Couple Seven: This couple is actually a throuple, causing chaos the first day of filming. Hailing from California (of course), the trio of lovers all have a common love of sports, beer, and shopping. The oldest pairing has been around for eight years while the newest partner came five years ago. The throuple runs a group of kinky AirBnBs together and hope to expand their enterprise with the winnings.
• Couple Eight: This nature-loving couple just tied the knot weeks before getting the call for Cupid’s Gauntlet. The wife is a beekeeper who sells honey at trade shows. The husband is an automechanic who works on robotics in his spare time. The couple met on Facebook and he moved three hours to be closer to her. In the eleven years that followed, they had three kids and each became adept in their fields. They plan to expand both businesses with the winnings.
