OK, so I've been home watching a lot of TV lately. (Gosh, I wonder why)
There's a show that I just can't get enough of,
Hell DateHell Date is a TV dating/reality/prank show that comes on
BET. The premise is that a person goes on a date, under the auspices that they are on a reality dating show. The production crew will follow the young couple around with cameras to various date locales. The twist is that one of the people on the date is an actor working on the show. The actor's job is to make the date as miserable as possible for the other person. The other person has no idea that they're on the date from hell!
OK, so this is not my typical fare. Ordinarily, I
never watch reality TV, in particular dating shows, but this one is just too good.
Hellish dates include the unsuspecting brotha that goes on a date with a pre-op trannie. At first they're kickin' it. Vibin', you know. In the car ride to their first locale, they're getting to know each other. She lets him know that she's just getting back into the dating game after a while, after recuperating from some
health issues. One of the locales on their date was a ranch, taking horseback riding lessons. As both of them mount their horses, the dude was fine, but the sista was complaining that the saddle was hurting her <<stuff>>. The dude was starting to grow suspicious. Why would a woman be hurting there? The next locale was a wig shop. They were both fooling around trying on wigs. The girl starts mentioning that this is how she really
wants to look. While trying on a wig in the mirror, she begins to chant to herself, "I am beautiful...I am pretty." The brotha grows more suspicious. Finally they are having a drink at a club. The girl mentions how much she likes his goatee and how she never could grow one, as much as she wanted to. She invites him to dance and he declines, stating he's not ready to dance right now. Finally, the brotha senses there's something amiss with her and tries to let her down easy. "I think maybe I would rather have you as a friend." Oh, that's when she went off! She started cussing him out and showing him her suspiciously growing bulge under her dress. "How you just gonna disrespect me!?!
This ain't gonna be a problem! In another two months it won't even be there! You ain't gotta make no thing about it! Look at it!" When the brotha can't take no more, a midget in a devil suit comes out to tell him he's been on
Hell Date.
This sista wasn't really a trannie, but the dude didn't know that. Just watching his expressions change when she would say certain things was comedy enough. To add more levity, they had a confessional where he would reveal his concerns.
Another great hell date was another unsuspecting brotha who met up with this kinda quiet, shy, but cute girl. He picked her up at her apartment. She invited him in for a drink before they went out to a club. Again, they're vibin' getting to know each other. After a little while, she says that she's going to go change and they'll leave. A couple of minutes later, she comes out and quietly mentions that she has something for him. Kind of a surprise. He turns around an holy shit! She's got on a latex dominatrix outfit and a whip! She goes from Dr. Jekyll to Mrs. Hyde. She's barking commands at him and cracking the whip. This dude is freaking the fuck out! Whoo!
Now see me, I would have been into it. That probably would have thrown her off her game. I'd have been all smooth with the shit. Oh, hell yes! But that's just me.
More dates from hell include the dude that gets just a little overly possessive on a first date. "You my woman now." Another is a dude that has a family emergency and has to pick up his retarded little (26-year old) brother and watch him on their date.
The one that really got me watching was this one. An unsuspecting brotha meets this fly ass girl. She gets this family emergency phone call and has to pick up her daughter from day care. The dude's face is a little disappointed because not only does she have a kid, but their date is interrupted because her ex-husband can't watch her. So they got to pick up her child. The kid is this pretty little girl who unbeknown to this dude is a child actor.
The kid starts asking questions like, "Don't you think we look a lot alike? Is it alright if I call you Daddy?" Just watching this dude sweat was HILARIOUS!
So check out
Hell Date on BET. It comes on weekday @ 12:30 in the afternoon. I don't know when else it comes on, but catch it when you can. It's great!
