The show features celebrity couples living under one roof and facing extreme challenges that will test how well they really know each other. Each week, a couple will be eliminated until the last couple wins the grand prize.
The first two seasons were hosted by Roberto Justus. From seasons three to four, Gugu Liberato replaced Justus as the host and production moved from São Paulo to Itapecerica da Serra. From season five onwards, Adriane Galisteu replaced Gugu (dead since late–2019), thus becoming the show's first female host. In season seven, Felipe Andreoli and Rafa Brites replaced Galisteu, thus becoming the show's first couple host.
The fifth season was originally expected to air in 2020, but production was postponed to 2021 due to safety concerns resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.{{cite web|url=https://www.uol.com.br/splash/colunas/fefito/2020/03/28/record-cancela-power-couple-e-deixa-participantes-sem-cache.htm|title=Record cancela 'Power Couple' e deixa participantes sem cachê}}
