Hello, visitor!
Article about dating in the dark:
Dating in the Dark. Wave goodbye to prehistoric dating shows like 'Blind Date' and 'Matchmaker' and give a hearty welcome to the new phenomenon 'Dating in the Dark'. It’s a dating show shot in pitch darkness, where looks don’t matter, well not until the very end anyway.

Oh what a terribly superficial, yet thoroughly amusing show it is. Possibly one of the most genius reality TV shows to be aired in the last couple of years, 'Dating in the Dark' dares to go where no other dating show has gone before, to address the age old question - do we really choose looks over personality in a relationship? It’s a simple idea really (why didn’t I think of it), three men and three women are chosen to enter a house that is shrouded in complete darkness. After a brief group meeting, the daters pair off to embark on a series of dates. The uniqueness of this dating show is that the daters meet one on one in a pitch dark room, for a seriously different type of date. At the very end, they then get the opportunity to see their chosen partner in the light, and choose whether to pursue a relationship, or turn out the lights for good. Who knew the search for a soul mate could be so shallow? If they are still interested in their partner after the light reveal, they will go to the drawing room for a long and nervous wait. However the dater won’t know if their partner is already there waiting for them or if they will turn up to meet them at all. If their partner has seen enough and didn’t fancy what they saw in the light room, they will walk out of the front door, potentially leaving their partner to look on miserably from behind. Last night those sneaky ‘Dating in the Dark’ execs threw a ‘famous’ face into the bunch of daters. Andrew Stone from ‘Pineapple Dance Studios’ (I’ve never heard of him either), graced the screen with his pompous manner and chauvinistic vanity. He proceeded to spend every minute of air time plugging the fact that he is a celebrity (by repeating his name over and over) and how great it is not to be recognised for once. He might get a shock when he watches the episode back and realises that in fact nobody recognised him. The boys included: Paul - a sales executive who veers away from WAG look-alikes, Justin - a man who loves the Wag look and big behinds and Andrew - ‘the famous one’. Slightly more serious about finding love than that lot are the girls: Vicki - a glamour model who goes for the bad boys, Natalie - who thinks men are intimidated by her looks and Maria - who’s been on thirty dates in the last six months (oh dear). After a good dose of flirting and some awkward and probably creepy silences in the dark, it’s clear that Vicki likes Justin but he’s not so keen on her, Maria’s taken a shine to tall, dark and handsome Paul, but Paul prefers Natalie and Andrew continues to stir things up by making advances on every girl in the house, irrespective of looks or personality. The best and worst part of this show is the light reveal, after feeling their way around a few dates and even throwing in a few kisses here and there, the looks on the daters’ faces when that spotlight is turned on are priceless. Shockingly and quite cruelly, last nights love birds Paul and Natalie ended up going there separate ways after Paul admitted that she was not his cup of tea in the looks department. He added that he just didn’t fancy her, which would be fine I suppose if he hadn’t been declaring his love for her mere moments before the light reveal. Thankfully though, the dignity of all mankind wasn’t lost after Justin decided to meet Vicki in the drawing room. Poor Maria seemed the third wheel all along, like the person picked last on a football team she never stood a chance. So with so many people dating the ones they are attracted to, but turn out to be incompatible with, the show is definitely onto something here. Interestingly and probably what most of us already knew is that the answer to this experimental show is yes, we really are that looks-orientated and shallow after all. Chemistry seems to be related to physical and not personality traits. Does that mean there’s some chemistry between David Beckham and myself after all?
