In my opinion, this was a good move by the producer and contestant coordinators to pick the contestants that best fit the show’s theme and title, Studs. Something else I have noticed about Studs is the fact that it had incredibly handsome and physically fit men and gorgeous women who you would most likely see on the cover of Cosmopolitan as contestants on the show, for the most part. DeCarlo interacted with the contestants very well and made the show interesting to watch. Mark DeCarlo had similar hosting styles as Chuck Woolery while DeCarlo was doing this show. You can definitely tell that this was a 90’s game show just by judging from the modern set design and on-screen graphics. Judging from the three episodes I have seen, this show is filled with surprises and is very entertaining to watch, especially listening to the answers given by the ladies and the rambuncous audience’s response to some of the racy answers, such as “45 minutes of flicking and he finally found the soft, red center” actually referring to a couple playing darts horribly until 45 minutes later the guy hit the bullseye three times in a row. I had only heard about it on GSN when they listed the show as number 47 on their special countdown of The 50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time. Until this past week, I had never seen an episode of Studs. In the case that both guys chose the right woman, the guy with the most stuffed hearts won the game and the all-expense paid date. If the “stud” chose correctly, the couple won an all-expense paid date to the location of their choice. At the end of each episode, each woman decided which “stud” they wanted to go out with again on a second date. Each correct match won the “stud” a stuffed heart. On the second part of the show, DeCarlo would give a description of the men and the men would have to guess what the ladies said who best fit the description. Two questions would be asked to each guy before advancing to the next part of the show. The male contestants would have to match an answer with the woman who said it. On the episode after the dates, DeCarlo would ask the ladies question pertaining to their date before they when on the air. Two men, appropriately called the “studs”, would go on three separate dates with three women. Studs ran in syndication from Mauntil September 3, 1993. This show, hosted by Mark DeCarlo, combined elements from The Dating Game and Love Connection. #4: StudsĬoming in at number four on this countdown is a game show called Studs. GSN definitely redeemed themselves with the production and overall success of this show, since they have aired shows that were doomed from the start like Instant Recall, Hidden Agenda, and Without Prejudice?. I also forgot how good of a host Jerry Springer is, considering that he is still hosting The Jerry Springer Show. This is the best dating game show I have seen in the past two decades since Love Connection during the 90’s with host Chuck Woolery. However, if the other contestant rejects the main contestant’s baggage, the date is off and the main contestant is sent off the stage. All the expenses for the date are paid for by the show. If the other contestant accepts the main contestant’s piece of baggage, the two contestants will go on a date.
In the fourth and final round, the main contestant revealed their secret to the chosen contestant by opening their large baggage which contains the main contestant’s secret.
The game is played in four rounds, with each round revealing a different piece of baggage for each contestant and the main contestant eliminating one the three other contestants in rounds two and three.
Each of the three other contestants had a small, medium, and large piece of baggage, representing a secret of their own, such as “having a collection of 5,000 knives” or “being banned in three states”. Like The Dating Game, this show featured one bachelor choosing from three bachelorettes (or vice versa). On a quick side note before I begin discussing this show, since I have already mentioned this show in one of my previous articles, I’m just going to say the same thing I had written in my previous article.īaggage is a GSN original game show which takes The Dating Game to the next level. This week’s countdown will begin with one of GSN’s newest dating game shows, Baggage. My definition of a “dating game show” is a game show that involves single male and contestants looking for love or couples answering questions about how well they know each other. Well folks! It (was) that time of the year again: Valentine’s Day! In honor of this holiday, I am going to dedicate this week’s article by counting down the top five greatest dating game shows of all time.
