  1. In Memory of LAJ_FETT: Please share your remembrances and condolences HERE

So who else is addicted to sleazy "dating" shows like Blind Date, Elimidate, and The 5th Wheel?

    Elimidate>all others.
    Especially when the person gets the last two contestants (who are, obviously, of the same sex) to kiss for her/him. [face_mischief]

    They do have a certain appeal, but I avoid them because I think it's degrading.

    Shipmates is the only one I watch.

    The host is very amusing. He just seems so bored with his job that he doesn't even really try anymore.

    Also, it's always fun to watch two people go from thinking the other is an all right person to hating each other over a course of three days. I think there was even one where a girl threatened her date with a fork or something...

    Tonight on Elimidate All-Stars, one of the girls got so piss-drunk that they were putting subtitles on whenever she would talk to the camera, so the audience could understand. That = [face_laugh]

    I love them too. I learn so much about human nature and get great ideas for my plays which tend to have "battle of the sexes" themes.

    Does anyone think anyone actually hooks up on these shows? Or are they just playing for the camera. A friend of a friend went on BLIND DATE with the intent of really finding a boyfriend but found it a circus because of the camera.

    I used to work on the Australian version called "Perfect Match".

    You've never seen tragedy until you see some of those freak-ass people who we had to turn down at auditions. ;)

    If we've got the time, I really enjoy watching them with my roomate. It's always fun to pick at the people on the TV.

    I have to admit that I have quite a lot of fun watching these shows. The 5th Wheel and Elimidate are my favorites.

    The funniest thing is when the daters star reappearing on other shows. I saw some weirdo guy, on The 5th Wheel, that dressed up like a chicken for the date, then was dooped into climbing a tree so she had the chance to get away from him. He was really scary. Then the same freak showed up on Blind Date a couple months later. This time he was wearing silver paint or something all over his face and a tuxedo t-shirt. Let's just say he didn't get a second date.

    I can't honestly say I am. I get bored by them and reality TV these days. :p

    I watch Elimidate on a regular basis. For some silly reason, I always feel better about my life after watching it.
