Just perfect

Hollywood Junket reports from the set of Perfect Score, the latest in an endless string of Dating Game remakes. What hath Chuck Barris wrought? This CW project uses compatibility scores as the latest twist on the looking-for-love format.

A couple friends gradually winnow down a field of ten possible dates to two finalists. Whichever final pair is the most compatible gets the night out and some cash. Folks, you've seen this before.

The Junket reviewer thought some of the contestants were dull. That's an occupational hazard in the dating sub-genre. The reviewer likes host Arielle Kebbel, who is "witty, attractive, and spunky." I didn't think a female host could be described as "spunky" until she was fifty years old. But what do I know?

This doesn't sound like the worst of the endless dating game permutations. But how many singles searching for romance can viewers endure? Oh well, these particular singles arrive this summer.
