The next contestant on the dating game?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Yesterday we talked about dating someone famous — so let’s put a little spin on that. What if you became famous FOR your dating life?
No, I’m not talking about myself (hahaha). I’m talking about those standbys of our guilty pleasure lives — reality TV dating shows. It seems that there’s more out there than ever these days! Whatever your pleasure, there’s something, from the syndicated ones (Elimidate, Blind Date, etc — do they still make these?) to The Bachelor/The Bachelorette to I Love New York and Flavor of Love.
Would you ever consider participating in a dating competition on TV? Why or why not? Which one would you want to participate in, and why?
Do you think that the contestants who claim to find love on these shows are finding the real thing? Trista and Ryan from The Bachelorette are still married, and the new Bachelor has been claiming in the news media that the woman he chooses this time around is The One for him.
Do you watch these shows? Do you think you can learn anything about romantic relationships from them — either what to do, or what NOT to do?
And for those of you who might want to give it a try yourselves…The Bachelor is holding open calls for female contestants in Atlanta this weekend. Check out the details below — and if you go try out, you’re obligated to come tell us about it!
