Take Me Out

This is an ITV dating show that is presented by Paddy McGuinness. A male contestant introduces himself to 30 young women, who each have a light in front of them. If they don't want him, they turn their lights off. A video that the contestant has made, in which he talks about his life, is shown. After that, a video about him, made by his friends/family, is shown. Next, he demonstrates a skill that he has. If more that one girl still has her light on after all that, he chooses which one he wants to go on a date with. If only one girl has her light left on, he goes on a date with her. If none have their lights on, he goes home alone.

The presenter of this is annoying and overbearing. He wastes time by pointlessly and arrogantly interjecting his brand of hyperactive banter and unfunny jokes several times during each episode.

Not all contestants go through all the same rounds. Some inexplicably don't have a video of their friends/family talking about them shown. That is biased in their favour, as it's common for many girls to turn their lights off during that round.

This is probably best reality TV show in a decade. Totally miserable performances, from which your brain can freeze. Sometimes you don't even believe what is happening in front of you. The moderator sometimes do unbelievable things, that no mentally OK person would do. Some of the girls are also very hot, but picky (especially the Russian girl in Season 9). The girls have zero dignity. The show have zero dignity. Love it. 10/10 joints.

This has the best writing for any show ever. The one liners and gags are brilliant and completely make sense. This is comedy at it's smartest. Paddy mcguiness delivers his all time best performance and adds so much weight to the show. He is hilarious however I think he gets jealous whenever anyone else has a funny moment because he always tries to steal their joke.

This is quality entertainment especially because paddy mcguiness is really fit, ummmm, I mean the girls are really fit. The directing is fantastic and the flashy cinematography adds to the theme of vanity and provides a nice juxtaposition to the realistic, improvisational dialogue. It's also fun working out who you like and don't like on the show.

This is the funniest show on TV, thanks to brilliant writing and one Oscar-worthy performance

If you are going to take this programme seriously then let me save you the heartache because it is not the show for you. TAKE ME OUT is at the very heart of it is a fun light-hearted show that is meant to entertain and taken by face value. No more no less.

The premise is a simple one, 1 guy comes out the "love lift" and chooses from 30 girls but not until the girls have their chance first to show their interest or disinterest by deciding whether or not to keep their lights on.

The host, Paddy, is one of UK's best TV personnel and he takes this show to another level that no else in my opinion is capable of doing. His witty, quick remarks, perfect comebacks, funny gags by making fun at everyone including himself is the quintessence needed to make this show thrive.

10/10, watch it for what it is and you are guaranteed to have a laugh, or two.

...because Blind Date was another cheap, rigged, rip-off!

I'm amazed they've concocted another show like it.

Like Blind D..Date, the contestants are still desperate, shallow and fake, in appearance and personality.

Totally agree with the first reviewer, go out and meet REAL people!

Not like these, who are obviously just playing up to the cameras, the hype and the audience, with poorly rehearsed routines and chat up lines...

I'm not sure if I should be surprised or not that the British public still crave reality rubbish like this...
