    Default Ever Been on a Dating Show?

    I was thinking about going on a dating show, I don't know, just to be on TV, get paid a little bit, and I guess just for the experience. But it's funny... a girl I used to work with went on Blind Date and she didn't tell the guy she was a dancer, but halfway through the show they had a little cartoon of a pole and a stripper sliding down it. It was sooooo funny! I wouldn't want that to happen to me, but she said the experience was cool. Has anybody ever been on a dating show? What are your thoughts on the idea?

    If being in a 'dating show' live in a fairly large hotel bar counts--yes, I have.

    They came out into the crowd and got me, as I wouldn't have volunteered. After much persuasive flattery, I agreed. The free dinner and overnight stay at the hotel (the nicest in town, it's now the Hilton after they bought it) helped considerably in the process.

    I agreed to do it only if I could pick the winner (even though I wasn't supposed to see them--I was the single bachelor with three women contestants).

    She turned out to be a loser, and we wound up enjoying our respective dinners and one night stays separately. I took someone much more appealing and charming instead of the contestant, by mutual agreement.

    It wasn't a lot of fun being in the actual contest, but it wasn't all that bad, either.

    If I was single and i didn't have a son, I would go on a dating show. I think it would be fun.

    Some times, they make a person out to be crazy, or a total bitch, even when they aren't, but to keep ratings up, they only show parts where they were acting silly while they were telling a story, but make it seem like the person was just crazy, or the person was telling a story and said some mean things as part of the story and then they only show that part to make them look like a bitch.

    If any of that made any sense, I don't know really how to word it.

    Just know that if you do chose to go on one, they may make you out to be some one you're not, but on that TV show, that's how you're portrayed. TV producers love to make people out to be some one their not.

    But at the same time, who cares, you know who you are, and there are a lot of people who watch those shows, and a lot of people who don't. And a lot of the ones who do watch the shows, a lot of them know that the producers are out to make people look bad.

    Well, good luck! Go out and Have fun!!!

    I LOVED 5th Wheel! You would've made an excellent 5th, Audrey.

    One of you girls need to go on "NEXT!".. Be the picker though, I think it'd be more exciting than sitting on a bus waiting for your turn.

    Oh no, its so not worth it! I've never seen a dating show where someone didn't end up looking like a loser.

    My best friend has been trying to get me to be the fifth wheel, but I'd probably end up taking all the girls from the guys instead!

    Great episode--really classic. It's sometimes in reruns--if you can catch it, you should.
