What dating show would you want to go on?

[imported_Tomato]

A casting person asked me to show up next Wed. from 2-3pm to tape the "Blind Date" intro. I've seen a couple of shows and they're pretty funny, with the text bubbles and cartoons and such... pay is $250, plus free drinks/dinner/activities.

The people who go on that show aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, though... but it'd make a fun story to tell my grandkids.

See poll.

EDIT: Linkified

Blind Date: Go on a one-on-one date with another person... activity, dinner, funny text bubbles and cartoons accompany date, hosted by the guy who used to do Talk Soup

Dismissed (MTV): Go on a date with two other people (one girl, two guys or two guys, one girl)... do separate activities with each person, dump one (or both) at the end of the day

Elimidate: Go on a date with four other people (one girl, four guys guys or one guys, four girls)... do an activity, eliminate someone at the end of the activity... go out to dinner, eliminate someone at the end of the dinner... go out to a club, eliminate one person and you're left with him/her

Extreme Dating: This one might be LA only, hosted by Jillian Barberie... go on a one-on-one date with someone while 2 ex's of the person talk into your earpiece and tries to convince you not to be with that person... activity, dinner, hot tub (there's always a hot tub scene at the end)... ex's win a prize at a day spa or gym if you don't go on a second date with that person, if you choose to go out with that person again, you'll get another all-expenses paid date

Shipmates: Go on a three-day cruise with someone, hosted by Chris Hardwick, the guy who used to host Singled Out with Jenny McCarthy

You better be sure to tell everyone up here the air date!

But, you'd never see me on one of them thar things.

 

[imported_Mike]

that shipmates host is so fvcking boring.

"dating show" and "want" don't belong in the same sentence without a negative.

And I'd use something sharper than a butter knife if it came down to it.

i wish i got paid $250 for going out on dates

If I had to pick one, it'd be Dismissed and only if I were the guy with two girls. They are usually slutty and the competition makes them aggressive sluts.

 

[pyonir]

I would rather st@b myself with a spoon than be on one of those shows.

I think the butter knife reference makes it worse than something sharp not better.

 

[murphy55d]

Pass the butter knife. (or spoon)

 

[monk3y]

Definately not my thing...

 

[SoylentGreen]

I would rather impale myself with a butter knife than go on a dating show

 

[Looney]

I wouldn't mind going on Blind Date.

Never seen Dismissed, Shipmates, or Extreme Dating... what exactly is Extreme Dating about? Do they do stuff like pair a midgit with a 500 lb woman?

 

[UNCjigga]

Dismissed girls tend to have bigger b00bs and smaller brains, so I picked that one!

I suppose that depends on the specifics.

LOL... let's say you went on Extreme Dating. You would go on a date with some girl, and two of your ex-girlfriends would be given a little microphone that connects to your date's earpiece... your dates basically tell her all the bad/embarrassing things about you and tell her what questions to ask you (i.e. Is it true you dress up in women's clothing?). You do your best to win over your date, and do an activity like getting a massage at a spa, taking dance lessons, making some sort of art/craft, etc. You then go to dinner, and end the evening in a hot tub... at the end of the date, a limo pulls up. If your date is inside, you get to go out on another date with her, all expenses paid... if your ex's are inside, you lose and they win a trip to a spa or passes to a gym or something like that.

 

[imported_Tomato]

Blind Date actually doesn't look so bad... I'd only go on Dismissed if I had 2 people to choose from.

 

[obiwaynekenobi]

I'm not sure that I would want to be aired on TV especially knowing me I'd either make a complete fool of myself or a complete arse.

either way.

it's national Humiliation, if you screw up. Is it really worth $250?


edit:
spelling

Bah, that doesn't sound extreme! My definition of extreme would be pairing a blind guy with a mute girl. Although that show sounds like fun... who usually wins? The ex-s, or the guy?

No 5th Wheel?

It's a fun time... not everybody is so insecure that they're always worried about what others think.

I watched that show once... where the "5th wheel" came in completely butt naked. *shudders* She has the worst breast implants ever...

Okay, 5th Wheel: Two guys, Two girls, one "5th Wheel" guy/girl comes in to seduce and make out with everyone. On the trashy scale of dating reality shows, I think this one is one of the trashiest...

On Extreme Dating, it's about 50/50... last night, this guy introduced himself as someone who really values intelligence... "looks get you in the door, intelligence keeps you there." He went out with a girl who couldn't even spell her own state (Massachusetts), whose proudest achievement were her implants "like, I only wanted a C, but the doctor gave me a D!". He asked her "what do you want out of life?" and she answered "there are these TOTALLY CUTE baby blue Prada shoes that I want, and a Gucci bag I would totally love..." She said she wouldn't kiss on a first date, but she found a girl in the club they went to and started making out with her (guess that rule didn't apply to girls), and... yeah. The ex's told the guy she'd cheated on her previous boyfriends, etc... but in the end, he was still in the limo. Which goes to show, the power of breastage never fails... ugh.

 

[atom]

Extreme dating........is that the one that is on MTV? Theres a show exactly like that on MTV I think, but it's a different name.

I am too shy to go on any show, but I think Elimidate is probably the least awkward.

LOL i would have too! Not because of the breasts, but the fact she's dumb and likes other girls!

Easily the trashiest, and oh so funny. I often stay up late to catch the double-whammy of Blind Date followed by 5th Wheel.

Extreme Dating is hosted by Jillian Barberie, not Gillian Anderson...
