Blind Date, Change of Heart, Rendez-View, Elimidate, Temptation Island, etc. You know you watch them. You know you like them. Which one’s your favorite? Mine is Dismissed on MTV. It is kind of like Elimidate/Chains of Love where one guy/girl goes on a date with two guys/girls (once they had a gay episode and a lesbian one too). The thing that seperates this show form the rest is that all of the “contestants” are HOT. The guys are all toned and smooth. The girls all have huge tits and dress skankily. Plus, ALL couples end up hooking up. Not just pecks but the good ol’ makeout sessions - it’s a given. ---

I prefer the angst of imaginary couples on TV to real obnoxious ones. The only dating show I ever liked was that one that was on MTV in the mid 90’s- Singled Out. Now that, that was funny. And Chris Hardwick was hot. ---

I have never watched one. Never will. Just not to my tastes. ---

Rendez-View is actually a pretty good show, but I don’t care for any of the others. ---

I saw one where they could agree to a second date. He said “no”, she promised to put out on second date, but he said that it was too late, she’d missed her chance. ---

The gone, but never forgotten, " \*\* Chains of Love \*\*". Only six episodes, but indelibly burned into my brain. Really choice, really tasty, I’m really bummed it didn’t last. “Elimidate” sounds similar, just from the title, I’ll have to check it out… stoid
