This summer, NBC"s "Love in the Wild" returns for the show"s second season with new host Jenny McCarthy, a new location in the tropical paradise of the Dominican Republic, and even wilder adventures chock-full of surprises and dramatic twists.  More hearts will be broken and catfights will abound when the new crop of singles embark on their journey to find true love.

Hosted by McCarthy ("Singled Out"), the series puts relationships to the ultimate test with exhilarating and wild adventures that challenge the participants, both physically and emotionally. Single men and single women, all looking for love, will experience a romantic adventure unlike anything they could have ever imagined. McCarthy will guide these contestants through rigorous adventures as well as the choppy waters of relationships in their quest to find love.  These singles have tried it all -- speed-dating, blind-dating, Internet dating -- and now, they will journey to a tropical paradise to see if they can find that special someone for whom they"ve been looking.

In each episode, the singles partner up in exhilarating quests that will push their bodies and emotions to the limit, including jumping off majestic 40-foot cliffs, traversing over waterfalls, and enduring tasks while overrun by hundreds of scorpions...all forcing them to show their true colors under pressure.  These exploits in the jungles, beaches, tropical forests, caves and mountains of the Dominican Republic will put their relationships to the test as they fall for each other in ways they never imagined. Sparks will fly and hearts will break.

After the adventure, as they return for their nighttime escapades, the winning couple will share a night together at the "Oasis," a lavish, five-star estate overflowing with everything they could possibly desire for an intimate night of romance.  The remaining couples will stay with their partners in the less luxurious accommodations tiered according to where they finished in the adventures. Based on their finishing rank, couples will reside in either cabins, tents or the more primitive "lean-to."

During an elimination unlike anything seen before, all of the couples will come together to reveal whether a connection has been formed with their current partner -- or if they would like to switch and get to know someone else.  At the end of every episode, heartbroken singles will be sent home.

The series will culminate with just one couple left standing, who will have completed the adventure of a lifetime and found the one thing they"ve been searching for -- "Love in the Wild."

"Love in the Wild" is produced by Endemol USA.  Tom Shelly serves as executive producer.
