Unpopular opinion: that first season they did with Brad Sherwood wasn't a bad idea. Same for the Gary Kroeger version of The Newlywed Game. They just needed different titles, IMO.

I’m with you on the second half of the pair. Honestly I think they could’ve done a hybrid (do two question rounds with one of the games added for the new show, and maybe finish with the this/that round if there was time).

I stand by my snap judgment in the previous thread about this, unless Zooey Deschanel is available for dating. (I see she's currently dating one of the Property Brothers, but I think I can take him, unless he tag-teams with the other Property Brother.)
Kniwt:
The disappointment when clicking through and finding they weren't talking about John Bolton. 😀😈😜

Also agreed. The Dating Game was not a strong format to begin with--if the contestants didn't say anything naughty or funny (and how much of that material was written by Barris staffers?), it wouldn't have had a following at all. A change is needed.
