    This show is cheesy but interesting. My friends and I really enjoy seeing who will be the shallowest person, after they see the other person. Sometimes we are really surprised! I hope they keep it on in the fall.

    I really loved the show. Taken people completely out of their elements, and letting them actually meet someone else purely on personality... I love the show.

    I liked it. Didn't expect to but the way it is presented and handled was well done. When you figure we size people up in less than 5 seconds when we can see them this is a good alternative.

    Being one of the "daters" on the show, I expected it to be super corny, (which it still kinda is) I am pleasantly entertained!

    This show was actually very interesting. It really sheds some light on the whole personality vs. looks debate. You found yourself rooting for the most physically mix-matched couple to choose each other. Can't wait for the next episode.

    For me, this show is a one-night stand, not a relationship.

    The gimmick is hokey, but beneath it lies a surprisingly untrashy reality show that actually sheds some light on the dating game.

    Dark is an interesting idea with a refreshing lack of bombast and fakery that propels so many reality shows.
