DISQUS

I actually like the show. It's pretty interesting how people connect with each other when looks aren't in the equation. It kinda forces the daters in the show to be themselves ... sort of. But it does prove that looks do have an important role in society. Let's be honest, we're all attracted at first by looks ... it's a fact. I mean we wouldn't have eyes if asthetics didn't matter. But it doesn't mean that looks are the end all be all of everything! Truth is, "Dating in the Dark" really doesn't have any substance cuz even if 2 people connect, which i've seen cuz i do watch the show ... there's not enough time invested between them, the connection is still too new and superficial to really have any sort of meaning. So when they finally see what the other looks like, it's a pretty significant shock to the system.
I dunno, maybe if the show can prolong the connection (ok, i'm saying connection way too !@#$% much) between the 2 people, let's say .... oh, about a month, then maybe the shock of finally seeing each other won't be so bad cuz the relationship would be more meaningfull. Unless one of 'em is horribly disfigured.
But then again, doing that might make it worse when the lights finally come on.
Remember the movie "Shallow Hal" with Jack Black? It might not end all happy where love conquers looks ... real life is wwaaaayyy more !@#$ up than that.
