For several weeks, the girls and boys selected to be part of the adventure live in a dream rental abroad. The candidates live separately in two luxury houses located side by side. Through activities, trips and parties, the singles rub shoulders and get to know each other. Each week, the girls must eliminate a boy, or the boys must eliminate a girl, until there is only one winning couple left.

Each Week, Éric Salvail invites a new "drinking buddy" to join him in making a recipe that must resemble the original as much as possible, while downing increasing numbers of shots and glasses of wine. This sizeable challenge naturally leads to fits of laughter, surprising confessions … and a few broken glasses!

Loft Story was a Quebec television series broadcast on the TQS television network, and was an adaptation of the show Loft Story in France, which itself was an adaptation of the Big Brother franchise. TQS became V and replaced Loft Story with a new Big Brother series for Quebec in 2010. During the first season, the show had TVA's Occupation Double as its main competitor, and was a success in terms of viewership, but was not as financially successful as the French version. Therefore, the program was discontinued the following season, but was resurrected three years later in January 2006. In response to criticism of year 1, year 2 toned down the sexual content and replaced it with daily games and truth/dare events. The loft was also changed to include a "stunt room" the size of a basketball court, which serves for games and entertainment. A third season started in September 2006, a fourth on September 26, 2007, a fifth in Fall 2008 and an All-Star season subtitled La Revanche in Spring 2009.
