A surgeon and a self-proclaimed red flag: Meet the cast of Stranded On Honeymoon Island.

Get ready to swap your winter woollies for bikinis and board shorts, because Channel Seven is about to drop the most chaotic dating experiment since someone thought it was a good idea to put strangers in a house together and call it reality TV (great idea by the way).

Stranded On Honeymoon Island is the network's latest show to prove that love can bloom anywhere — even when you're stuck on a tropical island with someone you've never met, armed with nothing but your wits, a few mysterious crates, and the desperate hope that your match doesn't turn out to be a complete dud.

The premise is deliciously simple: couples are matched by experts, then shipped off to a remote island where they'll spend 21 days getting to know each other without the distractions of modern life. No phones, no dating apps, no escape routes — just pure, unfiltered human connection. It's like Love Island meets Survivor.

Amy, 30.

Meet Amy, the 30-year-old Queenslander who's turned her dating disasters into comedy gold on TikTok. This self-proclaimed "hopeless romantic" has a knack for attracting the kind of men who probably think emotional availability is a type of insurance policy.

Amy's joined the island experiment because she's tired of her apparent superpower: choosing the wrong men with precision. She's looking for someone hot, generous, entrepreneurial, and capable of going on "crazy adventures" without requiring a detailed risk assessment. Just don't be stingy, smelly, or condescending — because nothing kills the mood quite like a man who thinks he's God's gift to womankind but can't figure out how deodorant works.

Mike, 38.

Enter Mike, the 38-year-old TV host who's as charismatic as he is polarising. This cheeky charmer admits he's got "high standards" and a tendency to go all distant when things get serious, because apparently nothing says "relationship material" like emotional unavailability wrapped in a pretty package.

Mike's hoping the island will help him "start fresh" without the distractions of modern dating. He's looking for a "traditional" woman who's down-to-earth, compassionate, and comfortable with him "taking the lead." Pro tip for Amy: if he mentions his "ick" about people saying "ick," just run. Or swim. You're on an island.

Brie, 29.

Brie is the 29-year-old Victorian performer who's convinced that time is running out to find "the one" — because according to her, apparently 29 is the new 40 in dating years. After being stuck in a "perpetual loop of dead ends" with dating apps, she's decided that being stranded on an island with a stranger is somehow less risky than swiping right.

She's got "high standards" and wants someone who's hot, beachy, smart, kind, bad boy, introverted, silly, funny, committed, and adventurous — basically, she wants a unicorn with good hygiene. Her major red flags include any guy whose name starts with "J" and bad communication skills.

Byron, 34.

Byron is the 34-year-old Queensland electrician who's been living by the motto "live each day as if it were your last" ever since losing his mum at a young age. This extroverted, witty adventurer was drawn to the island's "tropical adventure with no technology" aspect — because nothing says "getting to know someone" like being forced to make conversation without checking your phone every five minutes. He's looking for an "authentic wing-woman" who's a natural beauty and can handle being stranded on an island for two weeks without having a complete meltdown.

Emily, 29.

Emily is the 29-year-old Victorian executive who's been single for seven years and is "tired of doing all the heavy lifting" in dating. After her last relationship ended due to "continual lies," she's made trustworthiness a deal-breaker. She admits to having "very high standards" and a talent for picking emotionally unavailable men.

She's looking for someone who's 6 feet or taller with "masculine shoulders and sculpted arms". Her major icks include men who put themselves first and don't clean up after themselves — so basically, she wants an adult, which shouldn't be revolutionary but when it comes to reality TV… who knows.

Tom, 30.

Tom is the 30-year-old Canberra business analyst who's been dubbed a "lovable walking red flag" by his friends and a "dork and liability at Christmas" by his family. After three years of singledom following a "deep heartbreak," he's struggled to find genuine connections on dating apps.

He's looking for someone who's "cute rather than sexy" and loves outdoor adventures and themed parties. His red flags include people who make fun of his colour blindness, hate dogs, or have a "passion for astrology" — makes sense.

Dani, 35.

Dani is the 35-year-old Queensland career coach who's made a dramatic "sea change" to Magnetic Island and is fully embracing her "YOLO era." This funny, fierce woman has recognised her pattern of "dating men who choose her" and is ready to be "in the driver's seat" for once. She's looking for a "tall, dark, dadbod-wielding man" who's self-deprecating, career-focused, and emotionally intelligent. Her icks include bad clothes, cocky guys, gym buffs, and men who talk over others — so she's basically eliminated 90% of the male population, but good for her for knowing what she wants.

Emanuel, 33.

Emanuel is the 33-year-old Gold Coast music producer who describes himself as an "extroverted introvert" — basically code for "I can work a room but I need three business days to recover afterwards." Me.

After a difficult relationship breakdown two years ago, Emanuel's ready to "put his heart on the line again." He doesn't have a "type" but is attracted to "spirit and energy," seeking someone who's ambitious, caring, smart, and beautiful inside and out. His turn-ons are "someone's mind and their drive," while a lack of self-awareness gives him the ick.

Georgia, 35.

Georgia is the 35-year-old Victorian flight attendant who loves the "finer things in life." Don't we all? Despite having her engagement called off three days before her wedding (ouch), she still believes in love and has kept her wedding dress.

This globe-trotting beauty feels she keeps dating "emotionally unavailable" men and believes Australians "do not try hard enough" in dating. She's looking for an "emotionally mature" partner with "darker features and tanned with an accent" who's ready for serious commitment. Her biggest ick? Men who make her pay on the first date.

Chad, 47.

Chad is the 47-year-old Victorian surgeon who's spent most of his life single because he has a habit of "running from emotions" — ironic for someone whose job involves literally fixing people's broken parts. At 47, Chad's "getting older and going around in circles," so he's joined the show because its "tough and challenging" concept "weeds out the weak and superficial."

He doesn't have a "type" but is attracted to "energy," looking for someone with a "beautiful personality." However, "dark, feminine features" are his "Achilles heel" — because even surgeons have their weaknesses.

Jess, 38.

Jess is the 38-year-old NSW relationship coach who, despite her profession, admits she often "attracts the wrong type of man" — which is like being a personal trainer who can't do a push-up. This introverted adventurer has been single for five years and applied to the show because it's "scary, but that's where growth lives."

She's looking for an intelligent man with whom she can share a "deep, emotional connection." Her icks include long/dirty fingernails, budgie smugglers, arrogance, and unexpected acoustic guitar playing — because nothing kills romance quite like an impromptu rendition of "Wonderwall."

Sam, 31.

Sam is the 31-year-old NSW personal trainer who's a self-proclaimed "sucker for love." The loss of his father to cancer profoundly changed his outlook on life, and now he's seeking a partner who would "make his dad proud."

After eight months of singledom, Sam admits to getting "swept up in the early intensities" of new relationships but is now focused on "long-term compatibility." He's looking for an active, naturally beautiful, emotionally available woman. His red flags include liars and women who claim to have "more guy friends than girlfriends". And honestly, we're totally on board with all of those.

Stranded On Honeymoon Island promises to be the kind of beautiful disaster that makes for compelling television. With Jackie O guiding us through the chaos and a cast of hopeful romantics ready to risk it all for love, this show might just prove that sometimes the best way to find your person is to get as far away from civilisation as possible. Or it might just prove that some people really shouldn't be left alone together on a tropical island. Either way, we'll be watching.

Stranded On Honeymoon Island premieres on Channel 7 and 7Plus on June 23.
