The 90′s can be considered a decade of good things. Good music, good movies, good TV shows. Even reality game shows at the time were at the top because of their undeniable ability to really entertain viewers. SingledOut, a game show that aired on MTV from 1995 to 1998, is one of those notable TV shows of that decade. It is a dating reality show where a group of potential matches, 50 men and 50 women, compete to date the main contestant of the opposite sex, called the “picker.” It was originally hosted by Chris Hardwick and Jenny McCarthy. McCarthy had to leave the show early 1997 and was replaced by Carmen Electra to fill the hosting position for the last season and a half.

The SingledOut game is divided into two parts: the first part, there is a girl picker who picks among the 50 single men, and the second part, a guy picker picking one of the 50 women. The game is divided into three elimination rounds. First is the categories round where the girl or boy picker would eliminate contestants according to the category that they fall under. The second round is next, when only five to eight contestants are left. This round is called “keep ‘em or dump ‘em.” Situations or dares that are usually embarrassing must be done by the contestants and if the picker liked how they did it or if they won over the other contestants, then they will be “kept.” The third and final round, dubbed “the final cut”, situates the three left contestants and the picker in two ends of a walkway. Questions will be asked, and those who give an answer similar or the same as what the picker answers will advance. The first contestant to reach the circle where the picker is sitting wins.
