I love this job because just about every week I get a news release about a new reality show that sounds dumber than everything we have already seen.
Coming to ABC on Jan. 4 is "Conveyor Belt of Love" which sounds like it was dreamed up by writers on "The Simpsons."
Yes, "Conveyor Belt of Love" is the title - so far. It could be changed because columnists like me are making fun of it.
Imported from Europe, "Conveyor Belt of Love" is a reality competition based on speed dating.
A panel of five single women will sit in judgment as 30 hunky single guys roll by on a conveyor belt.
Each dude has 60 seconds to make an impression. Some do it with words. Some do it with eye contact. Some just strip off their shirts.
If a woman is interested, her pick will step off the belt. He will wait as the rest of the guys go by. If another man seems like a better catch, the woman can swap her previous pick.
Just imagine the rejection.
ABC says it's hilarious.
If two or more of the women are interested in the same fellow, the man gets to choose which woman he prefers.
Ooh, more rejection.
At the end of the show, the women and men pair off on dates.
If the one-night stand is a hit, then ABC will order more episodes.
