Remember Love Triangle, the GSN dating game with body-aging software and lie detectors and who knows what other technocrud? Well, the show starts taping January 22. Alex Davis at BuzzerBlog says Wendy Williams will host. Looks like a March or April debut is planned, though I doubt this project will make nearly as big a splash as the Drew Carey non-game show. GSN seems to have plenty of money lately, maybe from the burgeoning online business. Their slate of originals is getting long.

Now that we've seen Pacman as a possible Wipeout knockoff, NBC has selected the hosts for their own copycat pilot, Catch. Legendary wide receiver and NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, who knows something about catching things, and comic Michael Kosta will turn up on the project along with newcomer Rob Gleeson. Deadspin calls the show a complex version of the game "catch." How complex can playing catch get? As long as Wipeout keeps pleasing Nielsen Media Research, we'll keep getting these stunt epics.

GSN's Carrie Ann Inaba has sold ABC a pilot called Grace, which "focuses on a dysfunctional family set in the world of professional dance." At least it's not a professional family set in the world of dysfunctional dance. I don't like dysfunctional dancing.

UPDATE: Love Triangle debuts Monday, April 18 with an initial 32-episode run. Wendy Williams says she would give everybody a lie detector test.
