watching the bachelorette (Wes is so going to be on the hot seat tonight!), and they are advertising a new show to follow on ABC called "Dating in the Dark". Here's the premise:

In the series opener of a dating reality show in which contestants meet and get acquainted in a completely dark room, the participants are given an article of clothing belonging to one of their dates. Then they work with a sketch artist, describing what they think their dates look like.

What do you think of this idea?

Is it a good idea because it allows people to focus on personality rather than looks?

Is it a bad idea as hopeful people that aren't particularly attractive will feel extra pain by getting dumped on tv because of their looks?

Sounds like the "Dating Game Shows" in the old days where they let people talk to and pick their potential dates hidden behind a divider.

You got sucked in... hehehe

Seriously...

I'm sorry, I can't be serious about this... Americans have become so... American... but then as AsianFusion has already stated it's a retread for your enjoyment...

The more interesting question, is AsianFusion??? sorry... I almost hijacked your thread...

I saw an ad for this too, and had similar concerns about it.

My big issue is that, as I'm sure most if not all of us can attest, physical attraction is very important. And while you can very easily develop a cerebral attraction to someone, it doesn't mean that you'll be compatible with that person on other levels.

But I'm just sick of all the bogus reality TV dating shows so I doubt I'll be watching it, but who knows, maybe it'll prove to be interesting.

I’m sure the fat paycheck and fame are more than adequate compensation for their “hurt feelings.” Bet those “hurts” heal quickly, too, when they’re acquired in the pursuit of TV stardom.

It's a reality show. By definition, I hate it.

From what I saw from the previews they all looked young and beautiful. I have a hard time watching these shows, but I do know several who love them. Wipeout now that is a game show!
