Two new tv dating game shows premiered on Fox on primetime Thursday night.\u00a0\u00a0Both play on the idea of first impressions, the first airing at 8pm called “Take Me Out” with “everyday” people, the second airing at 9pm called “The Choice” with 4 celebrity\u00a0bachelors choosing their final dates with\u00a0not so famous\u00a0ladies.\u00a0 The choosing of the dates are a lot quicker than ABC’s “The Bachelor\/Bachelorette” on both tv shows.\u00a0 Another version of “reality tv” in the dating world.<\/p>\n
On “Take Me Out”, hosted by George Lopez, a long line of ladies choose whether they are interested in the\u00a0bachelor in front of them on the stage, first based on their first impressions, and then based on more and more info they are given as the guy’s\u00a0video plays.\u00a0 Then the\u00a0bachelor chooses from the ladies who still have\u00a0their light switch\u00a0on, designating they still have the hots for him.\u00a0 Apparently, a tall dark handsome Italian guy is a turn on – one who wears\u00a0a \u00a0gladiator costume is not so much…on the show at least.<\/p>\n
On “The Choice”, Cat Deeley\u00a0from “So You Think You Can Dance” plays double host, much like Tom Bergeron from “America’s Funniest Videos” and “Dancing With The Stars”.\u00a0 Apparently Cat is already engaged, as she reveals on the show.\u00a0 The celebrity bachelors on this week’s dating game consist of Jason Cook, Jeremy Bloom, Romeo, and DJ Pauly D (“Jersey Shore”).\u00a0 The show starts with the men sitting in chairs facing away from the bachelorettes.\u00a0 They have 20 seconds to intrigue the men to pull the lever to turn around their chair with their light on, designating that they are interested.\u00a0 If more than one guy is interested in the bachelorette, the girl gets to pick the guy’s “team” they are on.\u00a0 Each bachelor ends the dating choosing game with 3 girls.\u00a0 Like contestants from Miss USA and other pagents, the ladies are then paraded back onto the stage with sashes on, marking which team they are on, i.e. the name of the guy that might choose them.\u00a0 There is a speed dating kind of question\/answer between each bachelor\/bachelorette.\u00a0 Then\u00a0each bachelor eliminates one girl.\u00a0 Finally there is the question\/answer between the 2 remaining ladies for each guy, with the girl like on Miss USA not listening to the first girl’s answer.\u00a0 And the celebrity bachelor chooses who he will go out on a date with.\u00a0 Interesting?\u00a0 Based on the commercials for this dating show, Superman’s Dean Cain will be on one of the dating game shows coming up.<\/p>\n
