What's the Story?

SINGLED OUT is a competition series where people go on high-speed dates in hopes of finding love. Hosted by Keke Palmer and Joel Kim Booster, each episode features a dater who goes on 30 blind speed dates with people they connected with on social media. After the first round, all but three individuals are eliminated. Those three must then participate in two more rounds, one of which includes a challenge of some sort. Throughout it all, the dater cannot see them. In the end, the person that the dater wants to go out with is "singled out."

Is It Any Good?

This risqué series features folks from all walks of life attempting to choose people to date that they believe will be compatible with them. But while Singled Out is a game show, the show is less about winning and more about the humorous, adult-oriented, innuendo-filled banter between contestants, which ranges from light and flirtatious to bawdy. But the overall spirit of the show is positive, and even those who are rejected are encouraged to be kind and loving. It's not meant for kids, but grown-ups who like this sort of entertainment will enjoy tuning in.
