    Wait...isn't one of the hosts from some home decorating show? But now she's a dating expert? I have to admit this show is a guilty pleasure of mine. Perhaps that's why I don't have any dates - I'm cooped up in the house watching others date - instead of experiencing the real thing! Ah, "reality" tv.

    It's thoroughly artificial and proud of it. The four women are a little too attractive, their comments and voiceovers feel a little too semi-scripted, and everyone is a little too willing to ignore the camera crew on the dates.

    Guy is almost that bad date that makes for a good story, but instead it's just a bad date that won't say good night. [16 Jun 2006, p.70]

    It's an artificial conceit for a superficial show.
