Based off the dating game tv show which were usually for amusement value where a singel person (''male or female'') is placed behind a screen to ask questions to three guys or gals that are attempting to win a date with the person behind the screen. The contestants do not know who is behind the screen and vice versa giving a hightend sense of suspense to the game. The person behind the screen can only hear their answers and voices, but not see them. The audience could, of course, see them all. The various suitors were able to describe their rivals in uncomplimentary ways, which made the show work well as a general devolution of dignity and entertain spectators. Questions were oftten rigged to get ridiculous responses or to be obvious ways to sense the personality of the suitors.
