Twelve islanders. One mirror.

Every episode is a stack of tiny stories. The model reads how each edit is told, then asks a simpler question: which telling does your empathy answer loudest?

The villa · as of the July 5 episode

Six couples are still standing.

The finale lands July 12 and the roster can still shift. Corbin, Parmida and Caleb are already gone. These twelve are the mirror's whole world, and one of them is about to be yours.

How the mirror works

A mirror, not a personality quiz.

It never scores the islanders as people. It scores how their stories are told, and measures which telling your empathy answers. Change the viewer, change the match.

01
You answer

Seventeen quiet questions about how you feel for other people. No trick items, no games, about two minutes.

02
We listen

Behind the scenes, your answers meet how each islander's story got told this season. Everything is done for you.

03
You meet your match

One islander rises to the top, in plain words. Then you get a dial: turn your heart up or down and watch the whole villa re-order itself, live.

For the curious · only if you want it

There is real research under this.

You never need to read a single number to use the mirror. But if you like knowing how the sausage is made, it runs on a published study of how the way a story is told moves how much we feel. Tap below and the actual figures are all there, none of them bent to flatter you.
