WHY is this on TV?! It's an interesting concept for a dating show, but the people they put on there are SO MIND-BOGGLINGLY STUPID it's insane! They're so generic and they all seem to think and look the same. They definitely don't pick these folks on intelligence or personality...just on how tall/muscular/attractive they are. Not to mention, the conversations these people have are about as pointless, boring and meandering as conversation can be.Watching this show makes me never want to go out on a date again! I HATE THIS SHOW.

/rant
lol. thanks for pointing out the acutely obvious
sex sells, plain and simple. we like looking at good looking men and women, and if they started putting on average or even ugly ppl. on TV, i highly doubt it would be good for their ratings, even if those people had the most profound conversations ever. there's even a news channel here in my city that uses exceptionally good looking male and female newscasters (no they are fully covered, tho) just to attract viewers.
TV these days has gone to dogs, i hardly even watch anymore...and i suggest you do the same

You're welcome!
I know it's obvious, I know sex sells and not intelligence. "Why is this on TV" was a rhetorical question I just needed to have a nice rant. I decided to pick on Extreme Dating cause I left the TV on while doing my homework and eventually found my eye twitching from hating it so much.
And as for the programming on TV...yes, it's gone to shit, that's why I don't have cable. I don't need to pay good money so I can get 50+ channels of trash. I have maybe 8 channels from a free antenna so that I can watch some favourite sitcoms (Simpsons, King of the Hill, Star Trek, That '70s Show, King of Queens, Air Farce etc), as well as the occasional TV movie.
Simply a porn version of Blind Dates or all the other 2653 reality shows like this one..
I would bet my right hand that animality is just around the corner

Need sex, blood, or violence to sell. Peeps get enough of the last two during the evening news, so we try sex. If I don't see some skin, it ain't extreme.

Extreme Dating doesn't SHOW any skin. Occasionally the women do get topless, but like all shows produced by pussies, they blur the titties. ******s!
