Take Me Out
Take Me Out
Rules: The objective of the show is for a single man to obtain a date with one of
thirty single women. The women stand on stage underneath thirty white lights, each
with a button in front of them. A single man is then brought down on stage via the
'Love Lift' and tries to persuade the women to agree to this date in a series of
rounds, playing a pre-recorded video discussing his background, displaying a skill
(such as dancing or playing a musical instrument), or playing another video in which
the man's friends or family reveal more about his virtues and philosophy.
At any point during the rounds, the women can press the button in front of them to
turn off their light if they do not believe a date with this man would be constructive
to their well-being and if this occurs, their area of the stage will turn red. If, at the
end of three rounds, there are still lights left on, the bachelor will turn off all but two
of the remaining lights himself. He will then have a chance to ask one question to
the last two women, before choosing which woman he wants to go on the date with
by turning off one more light. If the man is left with two lights at the end of round
3, he will just ask his question to the two remaining women and if there is only one
light left at the end of round 3, he will go on the date with that girl without asking
her his question. There are usually four men brought on in the course of a single
episode, though on some occasions segments have been cut and only three men
have been shown.
