In theory, the idea of being paired up with a perfect specimen of the opposite sex while running around in a secluded area sounds nice, but remember, this is reality television. What we end up seeing is a slickly produced 48 minutes of buff bods with varying degrees of personality. Do you want your potential mate to be stupid or crazy? But there are days of shooting and hundreds of hours of work put in by dozens of people. This is far more show than documentary. Here are 15 Shocking Truths Behind VH1's Dating Naked. Every day, you show up for work, and all you do is put a blur mark over some probably great-looking privates. A 28-year-old model, Jessie Nizewitz, appeared on a July 2014 episode. She was given all of the assurances her vagina would be blurred out... The editors just dropped the ball on a scene she was wrestling with her date, and there was a quick flash. She filed a lawsuit against the producers, claiming her real boyfriend left her and that it caused emotional damage. He also admitted that he got the audition through his modeling agent and that most of the people who were trying out already had agents. You embrace the fact that the concept isn't stellar, but you do it to make great TV and most importantly, have fun! The most popular and successful version of the show was the Dutch one, called Adam Zkt. Eva Adam seeks Eve. The show aired in seven other versions throughout the world, including in Germany, France, and Italy. The Dutch version was given subtitles and sold to Australia and Portugal, meaning that the show aired in 10 countries at its peak if you count every version. Most only lasted one or two seasons. I will say the guys made a lot of what they were working with. They all made a big deal about how they wouldn't talk about it, but they talked about it. There were girls there with fake boobs, and no one commented. But every single guy made some sort of comment about one another's genitalia. They all talked about it the whole time. Most of the people appearing are struggling actors and models hoping that appearing on a national television show will lead to more gigs. Diane Poulos, one female contestant, said that during the week she was on the show, she only groomed her downstairs area once, and it was by design. Why was she keeping track? One of the ways that producers make sure contestants are kept happy during their days of filming is to always have plenty of good food and drinks on the set. For some of the hard bodies appearing on the show, that means fruit, vegetable, smoothies and Muscle Milk. She just took it in stride and wiped it off proudly. Later, she said in interviews she was embarrassed people saw her eating junk food on national television since she rarely does that. Amy Paffrath, the host of the first two seasons, said that it surprised her that once you got used to the nudity, the dating environment was actually less sexual than it typically is when dating is done fully clothed. We understand what she means. One of our guesses is that Viacom, the parent company of VH1 and MTV, Comedy Central, Logo, and CMT to name just a few has been refiguring its strategy to remain competitive in a world where more people are watching TV on their mobile devices or are skipping television content altogether. We would like the opportunity, at some point, to reinvent it, but for right now, we felt the shows and assets that we have made more sense as we head into the year. At the beginning of the third season, however, producers were faced with several companies asking VH1 for their advertising to specifically not air during Dating Naked. It worked as Mondelez International snacks like Oreos, Triscuit, Nabisco, Cadbury , hhgregg appliances and electronics and Henkel hygiene products like Right Guard and Dial soap all caved to the pressure and pulled their advertising. Only one episode in the 2014 season drew over 1 million viewers. Other media outlets were also under the impression a fourth season was coming as articles were written about the likelihood. She was in the very first episode of the show, and unlike so many other stories, she actually ended up dating the guy she met on the show, Joe, who was 12 years younger than her. Porcelli was an aspiring 36-year-old singer from Nashville when her episode first aired. In looking at her Twitter page, she actually participates in a celebrity voicemail service where you give her money and she records your message. Our favorite contestant of all time knew what she had to do to get on the show: audition naked. She recalled in an interview that the auditions were packed with good-looking men and women all wearing their tightest clothes to enhance their assets. Her plan clearly worked because the loony lady not only made it onto the show but is also easily the most memorable contestant in the three-season history of the show. If they could've all been like her, we know the show would still be on. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for this Web site.
