    Come on, Is this the best we can do anymore?

    It's more than obvious that her quick 'one liners' are written and this show is completely fake complete with young L.A. quasi-actors.

    It was mildly entertaining at first, but after watching a few episodes its just hard to watch and it seems the producers got lazy. In every episode during the second set of dates, the guy/girl who gets to choose which one to be with after the two dates straight up asks the two suitors to do something to prove their interest in them. This happens every episode. At first it was cute/innocent things like a peck on the cheek, but this 'challenge' has gotten more unnatural, odd, and even embarrassing every episode, now its kissing the persons feet or chugging an alcoholic drink. This 'challenge' is an integral part of the show. And if the suitor doesn't want to do the 'challenge', then the person who gets to choose holds it against them, and their failure to complete the challenge usually hurts their chances. This is probably the most obvious example that this show is 100 percent fake. These outings the contestants go on are the most manufactured, unauthentic, insincere, and fraudulent encounters that exist on television.

    Now onto the host. This Iliza Shlesinger is just the perfect combo: Smart, witty, hot, funny...right? Not quite. I was sadly not surprised when I read the reviews on here that say Iliza is the only thing that makes the show worth watching, those people just sound like the biggest suckers. Its hilarious when an attractive host masks the true quality of a TV show, and guys fall for it.

    We are supposed to believe that in the beginning of the show people actually walk up to the door, and get rejected in the most hilarious and insulting ways by the great comedian Iliza Shlesinger? Rigghtttt. Sorry Iliza, you're not that funny and you're not that quick-witted. If you were, you might have a comedy special, DVD, anything. Shoot it was hard finding stand up of you on YouTube. And even on those few videos of you doing stand up at some community college, you really were not that funny. I was absolutely shocked when I found out she won a season of Last Comic Standing. You are not a natural comedian. You do not seem comfortable on stage. There are so many successful, natural, original female comedians, you're just not one of them. If you weren't so attractive, you wouldn't be on TV.

    Nasty show

    Iliza is rude to her guests. Especially men. I see the enjoyment as she makes horrible degrading comments to her guests.

    I agree with a lot of other reviews that state this is the worst show out there. You might ask: Why do you watch it then? I happen to be flipping channels and hit the show once in a while... Within a few minutes I turn to something else because it is the same degrading show as it is every time I watch a few minutes of it...

    Iliza is not ugly by any means but she has no room to talk about others bad areas... She surely has her own faults to contend with. Naming one is her nasty attitude toward men...

    I thought telling others my opinion was important enough to take the time to do so.

    best reality dating show

    this is the best reality dating show on TV, as good as the first Blind Date. I believe it has the same producers.

    the hostess is hilarious and to the truth, the script is plain. The two in charge have to power to pick based on quick peek, profile, and then two face to face dates. They pick one person, when then PICKS between the two of them. This spices up the show, the last one picked can decide to not-pick the last person standing. This means that you can get thrown, like Flava Flav in the end, but it isn't scripted at all. People are competitive and will win, even if they don't like a guy, so u never know.

    Sometimes, connections are made, and the hostess is wise enough to see through the one date won't work and the relationships that might actually happen. This is better than Cheaters because you can watch it without much grief.

    Horrible degrading show

    I have never seen a show that degrades and demeans individuals by the host as well as the participants. It's a sad shame that people think this show is entertaining when in fact it is shallow and lacking in any real talent for its emcee. I don't know why this girl thinks she can be so rude and callous to individuals who are looking for possible dates. The things that she says are very hurtful and rude. Does she have trouble finding someone to ask her out? Is this why she treats everyone with so much disrespect and callousness? I'd like to see her show up at the door and have someone rake her through the coals and see how she like it! Horrible show!

    Refreshing

    Funny show. The host pretty much carries the program.

    She is sharp and witty. I think she is a cross between Letterman and Craig Ferguson only she is better looking and she bites a bit harder. Most of those dating reality shows suck, but I actually enjoyed this one. I came back after every commercial and that is a first for me.

    The host has a way of hitting the contestants over the head with her "zingers", without really making you feel like you were punched in the stomach. Tough to balance humor and flat-out insults. I think that is what made it enjoyable.

    I was never a fan of Simon on American Idol because he was just too mean. I think this Iliza lady has got the right combination for success,
