I have a few scenes in this story about reality TV shows. I'm not a fan, but some of the characters get involved with a couple of different shows. The first show has someone from one religion live with a family of another religion. The Mormon lives with a Jewish family, the Muslim lives with a Catholic family. The more I type, the stupider it sounds. And it's supposed to. It's reality TV.
The second reality TV show is more conventional. Single people go on three dates. If the person they choose after the three dates also chooses them, they are back for the next round. Any dates that don't choose each other or don't choose anyone are eliminated.
In a lot of ways, that is even worse than the religion show. Going out on a first date is hard enough. No matter how you met the person, the odds of success are remote. Most first dates might not end in hilarious disaster, but they don't lead to a second date. Imagine having a first date in front of a TV crew. The more it's staged, the easier it would be. But if it were actual reality, that would have to be a terrible first date.

No hate, please. There's enough of that in the world already.
