Game of Clones – weirdest dating reality show ever

-

GAME of CLONES is a British dating reality show that has contestant­s describe the physical attributes of their perfect man/ woman in great detail and then choose between several candidates that all look and dress the same. Apparently, the idea this new show is trying to promote is that it’s what’s inside that counts.

When it comes to the physical appearance of their perfect date, everyone has a type. Channel 4’s new dating reality show Game of Clones, gives singletons access the latest avatar building technology to virtually create their perfect partner, down to the tiniest details.

Height, hairstyle, hair color, eye color, build, skin pigment, you name it they will enter it in a software and create your perfect partner based on your preference­s. Once you’re satisfied with their rendition of your fantasy, Game of Clones will scour the U.K in search of eight people that fit your descriptio­n and closely resemble each other, dress them all in the exact same clothes and put them all in a house with you for several weeks.

With all contestant­s essentiall­y being doppelgang­ers, it’s assumed that looks are no longer a criteria for selection, so participan­ts will have to gradually eliminate seven of the eight candidates based on their personalit­ies.

“It sounds like any singleton’s dream, to create your perfect partner in avatar form and then get to live with eight of them,” said David Flynn, co-founder of Youngest Media, the company that came up with the concept for the unique dating show.

“However with looks out of the equation our singleton will have to work hard to uncover the personalit­y they’re most attracted to. It’s a whole new twist on the dating show genre which combines everything we’re about at youngest Media, cutting edge entertainm­ent that we hope will surprise the audience.”
