The Celebrity Dating Game

Michael Bolton, what were you thinking??? This has to be the worst hour of prime time tv...EVER! That's saying a lot.

Obviously with the whole premise of the show being what it is, I wasn't' expecting an Emmy worthy show, but this is just embarrassing. I love Zoey, and I don;t know what they did to convince her to do this. I hope it goes away soon so it doesn't drag her down with it. Obviously not real dates of course, but not even any fun. And finally, Michael Bolton?

I like Zooey, I thought she was fantastic in New Girl. That is why I decided to check this out, I hope they're paying her seven figures, because for the life of me I cannot figure out why on earth she would ever choose the show. It's cringe worthy, it's embarrassing, it's awkward, and I realize it's supposed to be all those things to a certain extent. But wow was this awful, and by the way what the hell was Michael Bolton even doing on the show, he basically sits there and does almost nothing. It's one of the strangest episodes of television I've ever watched.

This is just really cheap produced. First of all the term "celebrity" on these shows is too loose. Granted, yes Tom Hanks wouldn't appear on this, but get some fun B liters. Michael Bolton adds nothing to this show. He looks annoyed almost as if he really does not want to be here. Interesting idea, but poorly executed.

I really wanted to like it, and Zooey Deschanel is a great host, but "Mr. Personality" Michael Bolton does not belong. And the celebs, daters and questions are all lame, and unrealistic. Bring back Alec Baldwin and Match Game! It's a very generous 3/10, because I feel sorry for Zooey stuck in this mess.
