“Yup.”
“Great hotel room on a beautiful beach. Wonderful weather.”
“Yeah.”
“So . . .”
“You want me to put the wolverine suit on, don’t you?”

The weird thing that I haven’t seen mentioned many places is that this show was originally made for BBC Three/A&E in 2014? Interesting choice for a reboot.

The birth of the idea:
Netflix: We need a new show idea.
Brad: People like The Masked Singer - and the Bachalor/Bachalorette… what if we -does finger motion- combine the two.
Netflix. … … … Brad… you god damn bastard, that’s brilliant!
Cue the Anikin/Padme meme:
“Wait… why aren’t you wearing the woodchuck head?”
“Oh, that was just for the show right?”
“…”
“It was just for the show… right?”
Turns out - one previews better in twitter.

More power to them if it makes them happy. As for me, it just makes it easier for me to not want to watch television.

I didn’t see any “average” looking people in that promo (assuming it’s American).
Much like the Bachelor / Bachelorette they don’t really seem to represent the average person I see walking around in my area of the US.
Besides I expected full suits - hot people in form fitting clothes, what fun is that? You need the 6"2’ slender guy wearing a bear suit, just throw everyone off their game. Or everyone dresses like Baymax:

" […] the single will see the real face of their chosen match only after they’ve made their final decision […] "
Isn’t that true for every dating show?

I, a furry, am deeply concerned.

Oh, they don’t want reality. They want a “reality show” fantasy, based on whatever the folks in casting believe the audience wants to see.
Each episode will feature a new single who’s looking for love based purely on personality.
Sure, they are! That’s why the show is called Beautiful on the Inside Beasts, right?

Do you see those walls, though? They’re curved, run on some kind of fancy turntables or guide tracks for the big reveal, and they’ve got the 3D funkadelic lettering on them. Not cheap!

It’s described as a ‘reality show’…
In which twisted universe is this the reality? I have enough problems dealing with the realities of the universe I actually live in!

They have brought that back as well, although now it’s the Celebrity Dating Game. Three “normal” people vying to date a “celebrity”. I put celebrity in quotes because the last episode had Carson Kressley and Iggy Azalea. I did not watch it.
