the show wont last long. Sure the show's host Iliza Shlesinger is attractive but she tries too hard on being funny. The jokes tend to be flat and distract the attention of the 2 ladies trying to find a date. The ladies are the ones who perform physical slapstick comedy. On the 1st show one lady actually fell in the lake which ruined her eye makeup. The 2nd show had a lady named Samantha who tried to give the potential date a lap dance turn into a disaster when the guy mentioned he paid the last lady that gave him a lap dance. Poor Samantha became insulted after all the lady thought she was all that so she must not be insulted. The truth is she was not all that.

I hope it sticks around. I really miss the good old days of sating shows. They don't exist any longer. The only thing close are these huge series like like Bachelor or something that are very edited and more about drama then watching actual attraction.

Blind Date, 5th Wheel,Elimidate, etc were all fun for me to watch. I have always been fascinated in seeing what attracts people to other people and it's fun to try and predict which people will bomb or be a major success. I miss these kinds of shows so it's refreshing for me to find this one.

^^I know, I miss those shows too. elimiDATE, 5th Wheel & Blind Date were great shows. I agree, that's what this show reminds me of.

The 2000's had great dating shows! I also loved watching shows like Next and Exposed on MTV. It's good that we at least have a new one on.
