    Everybody is Right and Everybody is Wrong

    What is Happening Here?

    What this "show" is about is FEMDOM, pure and simple. It takes all the nice elements about women & loving relationships and throws them in the sewer,over and over again, by a female -none the less! By the way, She is not that attractive, especially when she contorts her face. Uggghhh!!

    It is not about laughs, or male/female harmony, it is all about social re-engineering. The host demonstrates how most women think in their minds, but do not verbalize to others. In other words, What goes on in a crazy bitches mind. This show facilitates the idea that this is normal female behavior and keeps delivering the same message.

    Reverse the gender roles for a minute, if the host were a male, this show would be insanely funny, because it would be considered "normal" male behavior, but it would not fit the "Political Correctness" politics of the Hollywood social re-engineers. So, that's why they use a female - Get It!

    Well, I hope you get the idea, because this is the future of Mass Media in America, in movies, music, ads,in the work place - everywhere.

    Total Social Gender Destruction & Chaos, that's what the Hollywood product is now, I agree with one of other reviewers, Hollywood has lost all forms of highly creative thinking.

    Just think, Technology has created a world of endless creative possibilities and this is all they can imagine, along with Forrest Gump, Shreck, Cops & Narcotic Traffickers and now another Batman movie.

    This whole industry exists purely for profit.

    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.

    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,

    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!

    Iliza may make the show, but....

    She can't prevent it from being a flat-out insult to watch.

    Why would women feel a need to lower themselves to behave like painted trollops jumping through hoops, to vie for the attention of narcissistic troglodytes? WTF? This show is an insulting embarrassment to women all over the globe.

    Man, these are some of the phoniest, most contrived-looking females clucking like chickens, shaking their butts and tonguing guys they've never met. Classy! And is the competition for male companionship SO strong that they have to don their clown makeup and costumes, and turn themselves into something their Mamas would be ashamed of?

    And the men?... whoa. The men make 'single' an attractive option.
