The music-themed cable network has picked up to series Naked Dating, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The 10-episode dating series hails from Lighthearted Entertainment, the independently owned production company behind unscripted series including Extreme Makeover, The Moment of Truth, Next, 72 Hours and Are You the One?
Each episode will feature a man and a woman as they each date two different -- and naked -- suitors. The series will explore the art of romance -- free of preconceived notions, stereotypes and, yes, clothing. At the end of every hourlong episode, the two romance-seekers analyze what they've learned from their dates -- and themselves -- before deciding whether to move forward with their potential love matches. A yet-to-be-named host will oversee the series, which will be filmed in a remote exotic locale. The focus will be on examining the honest self and the surprising results that come with that. VH1 says the series will be edited "according to network standards.""We created this show based on marrying a provocative idea with a back to basics philosophy. With all the dating options in the world, what happens if you take one man and woman and strip them of all their pretenses?" Schultz said. "VH1 immediately understood our vision and is a fantastic partner on a show that uses a social experiment to provide a fun and entertaining look into how men and women interact when they bare all."
A premiere date for Naked Dating has not yet been announced. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/vh1-orders-naked-dating-series-680908

The funny thing to me was that I wondered what she looked like with clothes on since I had only seen her naked. So we went out for burgers dressed of course. That was 30 years ago and we are still together.

Hell why don't they just be honest about it? People like looking at naked people. Therefore ratings and advertising.
All these crap "reality" programs and networks come up with these idiotic justifications rather than honetly say they are looking for any excuse to pander to the voyeuristic tendencies in people to get ratings.
