Take Me Out

30 desperate girls (some slightly deranged), 1 desperate man. What a formula!! Blind Date it is not. Paddy McGuiness, what are you doing?? Paddy's gags barely hold together a show that should never have made prime time TV. Maybe I'm just too old to get it, but please give it a wide berth and do something more interesting. Go to the pub and meet real people!! Bring back Cilla!!!! AT least Blind Date tried to have a serious element by interviewing last week's 'winners'. Take me out does none of this and just moves on to yet another desperate guy trying to impress 30 desperate girls. It is 1 out of 10 because it is just so cheaply made and a terrible formula. Just bad.

...because Blind Date was another cheap, rigged, rip-off!

I'm amazed they've concocted another show like it.

Like Blind D..Date, the contestants are still desperate, shallow and fake, in appearance and personality.

Totally agree with the first reviewer, go out and meet REAL people!

Not like these, who are obviously just playing up to the cameras, the hype and the audience, with poorly rehearsed routines and chat up lines...

I'm not sure if I should be surprised or not that the British public still crave reality rubbish like this...

This is an ITV dating show that is presented by Paddy McGuinness. A male contestant introduces himself to 30 young women, who each have a light in front of them. If they don't want him, they turn their lights off. A video that the contestant has made, in which he talks about his life, is shown. After that, a video about him, made by his friends/family, is shown. Next, he demonstrates a skill that he has. If more that one girl still has her light on after all that, he chooses which one he wants to go on a date with. If only one girl has her light left on, he goes on a date with her. If none have their lights on, he goes home alone.

The presenter of this is annoying and overbearing. He wastes time by pointlessly and arrogantly interjecting his brand of hyperactive banter and unfunny jokes several times during each episode.

Not all contestants go through all the same rounds. Some inexplicably don't have a video of their friends/family talking about them shown. That is biased in their favour, as it's common for many girls to turn their lights off during that round.

If you are going to take this programme seriously then let me save you the heartache because it is not the show for you. TAKE ME OUT is at the very heart of it is a fun light-hearted show that is meant to entertain and taken by face value. No more no less.

The premise is a simple one, 1 guy comes out the "love lift" and chooses from 30 girls but not until the girls have their chance first to show their interest or disinterest by deciding whether or not to keep their lights on.

The host, Paddy, is one of UK's best TV personnel and he takes this show to another level that no else in my opinion is capable of doing. His witty, quick remarks, perfect comebacks, funny gags by making fun at everyone including himself is the quintessence needed to make this show thrive.

10/10, watch it for what it is and you are guaranteed to have a laugh, or two.

Right ok this is probably one of the worst programs ever made. However that's why I like it. It's stupid, badly rehearsed and probably rigged. Can you really expect anything more?

I like it for those reasons. I use this as wind down background program after work. It's fun guessing which women the guy will pick and believe or not its also a habit of mine to look at women.

Its not the best program out there as I've said but there are worse, so give it a watch if theres nothing else on you might enjoy it.
