So the wife and I are sitting there watching tv tonight.. it's the summer, so there's not much on, right? Wrong... there was this new show, Dating In The Dark, on ABC (monday at 10pm) and it's fantastic.
Now mind you, the last dating show I watched with any regularity was Blind Date, and that was mostly just to laugh at the running commentary that would pop up on the screen. This show, however, was different. Three guy, three girls. Living in the same house, but they don't get to see each other, at all, until the end. They each get to meet whomever they like (and the "experts" tell them who they're most compatible with via a questionnaire etc), but only in a pitch black room where they can't see each other. Over the course of 3-4 days they have a bunch of "dates" in this room, but still can't see each other
At the end, they go back to the room, where a light will illuminate them and the person they picked, one at a time, for a quick ten seconds. They then choose if they want to leave the show together or leave solo.
So basically they make a connection without seeing each other, and the final test is whether or not looks actually do matter. For the record, tonight, two of the three couples left together, the third, well...let's just say that she was really really shallow..
I may not have done the best job describing it, but it's definitely entertaining tv. I'd like to think I wouldn't judge someone on their looks in that situation, but you never know I guess...
