Divided opinion.

As a person with prurient tastes, I am disappointed that the parts that would me most fun to look at are blurred out. In that respect, this show is just a silly tease; if I want blurred or hidden womens’ bodies, I can go to a church or a mall.

On the other hand, there’s a deeper message or meaning. Since the people are nude – not ‘dressed for success’ or wearing the latest faddish accoutrements, the participants are forced to look at the person as a person, listen to what is said, and evaluate the other person based on deeper factors and not on how well they wear a dress or a pair of slacks.

In addition, part of the normal mating ritual (dating ritual) is to slowly work ones’ way to a situation where the clothes come off as a precursor to coitus. That can be a silly dance or test of wills. In Dating Naked, that whole folie a deux goes away; people are judged on their personality and not on the games they play.

So .. blurred bodies aside, it’s not a bad lesson…

I hate reality shows as a matter of principal.

Approximately 51354658135168 shows I’ve come to like have been cancelled because the network realised they can get more viewers for less money by making reality TV shows instead of high-production dramas.

Apparently more people like to watch dumpster fires than actual entertainment.

I haven’t seen it. I’m not into reality shows but I might watch it at least once to form an opinion.

No reality television is real. Programs range from heavily manipulated/edited to outright scripted, complete with large writing staffs. The people on the shows are certainly real, but their situations aren’t.

Yes, I’ve watched “Dating Naked,” because I really enjoy looking at fit, sexy, naked men. But, the show is contrived in a way that’s often ham-fisted.

Does reality TV contribute to the idiocy of our society? Maybe. But, if a show is seen as entertaining fiction rather than reality, it might be fun.

Cant really say. I have not seen it and am not likely to. Not saying it is bad, just not my cup of tea.

I stumbled across a show last night called Naked Attraction, dunno if it’s our version of that show but sounds identical.
The only thing I couldn’t work out was how the fuck the blokes didn’t get a hard on stood there while a fit lass stared at their cocks, I mean, I get a boner if a pretty girl just smiles at me :D

Watched a couple episodes with a friend. Typical garbage with intended shock value/ voyeurism /perverted scheme in place of any real content. The contestants are predictable, and there is little value to any other than a sex crazed teenager with no better pornography.

I really like Naked and Afraid. But that was very different. In a good way.
