Pax Tries Speed Dating

Pax TV thinks it has found a new angle for an unscripted reality show: speed dating.

Speed Dating, set to premiere in March, pits eight single men and eight single women in a ballroom and, through a series of lightning rounds in which each ranks each other, they’re pared down to two men and two women.

Finally, as befits the family-oriented channel, the most compatible couple "will go on a 'real' date beginning with an engaging activity of bowling, dancing or shopping and ending with a romantic sit-down dinner for two at a five-star restaurant."
