Should I do it or not? It is very well known, as in if you asked 10 girls I'd say high chance 9 know what it is.
Positives
- I'd be on TV, so the most minor of celeb status. But as we know girls are fame whores so that may be a help for future gaming.
- Fun and different experience.
- Could potentially hook up with whoever the girl is (though I care a lot less about this).
Negatives
- My date could be horribly ugly/fat.
- Can't predict how I'll be portrayed on TV. What if they show me in a horrible light?
- My career is reputation based. Not sure if it is a positive or negative to be on TV for a dating show.
I'm leaning towards yes.

If you value your career and it's reputation based, I would lean no for your own sake. Plus you never know how they will portray you, since on TV perception is reality....But for the amusment for this forum, hell yeah you should do it.

I don't think there is anything such as negative fame. I know this tall dorky guy who was on Megan wants a Millionaire, He got booted off the show, his last appearance on TV was him wearing panties on his head. After the show he got IOIs from trashy 20 something white chicks, prolly the demographic of the show. So you should do it, unless your career depended on it which is a different story.

I don't think you should be concerned about her being ugly/fat. This IS television, so unless it's a FOX reality/dating show, then be careful. They had a dating show featuring a midget bachelor, another that featured a chick that spent time with men trying to figure out which was her biological father called "Who's Your Daddy," and another with a tranny bachelorette called "There's Something About Miriam." If it's just your standard dating show, I wouldn't worry about her being unsuitable physically (unless it's something like her being a brunette, but you prefer blondes).
You always have to worry about how these shows are edited. Someone HAS to play the part of the the jerk or asshole, and you never know if it could end up being you. Or they'll portray you as being weak, which could be even worse. What's your endgame? How much will the positive attention really help you, and what do you really have to lose if you come out of it looking less than good?

The selfish side of me says do it for my entertainment. The rational side of me says don't do it. TV sucks and 15 minutes of fame isn't worth your future income.

Even if it goes horribly wrong, no one will remember after a few months.

Update: I'm going to do it. Who knows if I'll even get through the first round, but fuck it why not. Also, this is a great fucking opener at bars. Every girl knows the show, and I have the texts to prove it from the casting director. Ironically all girls tell me not to do it.
This will be quite interesting to say the least. I guess let's see how much of what I've learned will apply in a situation like this.

Yesterday was the first day. I made it through to the second round, which is today. Loads of hot girls, entertainment industry is absolutely ridiculous. So many want to be models/actresses wearing heels and skintight dresses. Had a blast and I am 100% now going to be on TV for about 3 minutes so far. If I get through round two (very hard), then I'll have roughly 15-30 minutes or so of airtime.

Even better, she is both ugly AND fat and you play it off as being completely oblivious to the fact. Every woman in America loves you because of this. Success! lol
