elimiDATE

Every Monday to Friday night at 10:30pm, I watch this show. It's really good. 4 people go on a date together to have fun. Sometimes it's at the pool, nightclub or even hanging out and relaxing. I live in Canada but I can honestly say elimiDATE is the show that you need to watch.

You can't help but crack up when you see four people backstabbing and cutting each other down for a single date. But hey, it makes for a fast half hour. I find Spider Lou accurate in decribing the female contestants on that show, but I do recall seeing one stunning southern belle that looked like a supermodel from Victoria Secret (Britton from Charlotte, NC). Oh well, you can never get too much of "reality" tv, can you

A-

Starring: Horny guys, B*tchy girls, and every other type of guys and girls you could think of.

A guy or girl goes on a blind date with 4 guys or girls and gets to eliminate one through every round of the date. It's fun to see testosteroned guys try to make fun of the other guys. It's also fun to see b*tchy girls cat fight other girls. This is a great show, sometimes its sour, and when its sour, it's REALLY sour.

Rank: I don't rank reality shows.

While this isn't the worst dating show out there - I think EX-treme dating holds that dubious title - this one isn't much better. Four men or women compete to get a date with a member of the opposite sex. I'd only go on this show to get a free meal and then leave. The whole premise is silly and farfetched; the people on it are either incredibly desperate singles or people who shouldn't be dating in the first place. Sometimes it does get unintentionally funny.

Real dates ABSOLUTELY bear NO resemblance to this.

I feel sorry for twentysomethings dating today, judging by the people that I see on this program. Once in awhile, the person who has their pick of four people at least has one person in the bunch who is halfway decent, but not often. The four who are scrambling to be "the one" say and do some of the silliest/outrageous/dumb stuff to win. It's even worse when there are four women competing for one man; there have been near catfights, and almost X-rated play. The stuff that takes place on this show is laughable, as well as a good primer about how NOT to act on a date.
