Synopsis: FAKE-A-DATE is GSN's
first relationship game, hosted by Evan Marriott (a.k.a. 'Joe Millionaire')
that features one lucky contestant paired up with two singles of the opposite
sex. At the end of the dual date, the contestant must choose between the
dates. The catch? One of the singles is truly looking for love, while
the other is a pretender out to win a luxury trip with their real significant
other.
The honest single will have pre-chosen the contestant as someone who could
be their soul mate, while the other "single" has no interest in romance
with the contestant. However, the sparks fly as the pretender tries to
generate some heat with the contestant in order to be chosen at the date's
end. If the contestant chooses wisely, he/she will join the honest single
on a luxury vacation, but if the contestant makes the wrong choice, then
the pretender wins the luxury vacation to use with their significant other.
As host of FAKE-A-DATE, Marriott will offer advice and act as a confidante
to the participants and interview the contestant regarding the big decision
- pick the sincere single or go home empty-handed. The FAKE-A-DATE contestant
will spend an entire day on simultaneous dates with the singles. The dates
will be adventurous, provocative and romantic including belly dancing,
strip bowling and romantic dinners... for three.
The dates will take a twist midstream as, unknown to the daters, the significant
other of the attached single will randomly appear during the day. Perhaps
as a valet, model, waitress, hostess - the contestant and the dates will
be surprised. The significant other also will make a second appearance
at the end of the episode to plant a kiss on the cheek of the dishonest
date to reveal their identity after the contestant has made a decision.
