The Dutch/Flemish version, shown on Veronica and VT4, is successful. The 6th series has been broadcast in 2007. An Italian version was produced in 2005, named "Vero amore", but was unsuccessful. In Brazil, the SBT Channel made two series in 2002 and 2003, but was also unsuccessful. It was called "Ilha da Sedução". A Mexican version, "Confianza Ciega", was shown on SKY in 2004.
