Dating Naked (2014– ) User Reviews

Bikini dating would be far more sexy

[Pro Jury · 3/10 · 30 July 2016]

"Naked Dating" is on a TV channel that does not show frontal nudity and this dooms this reality dating TV series.

For example, the leading male needs to pick from three females, and by his comments, we know he wants to pick the one female with the biggest chest. However, for viewers, from beginning, middle to ending credits, we never see any visual evidence for who might have the biggest chest. All we see are blurs in the front, and all of the blurs look the same for the females.

However, from the back, we do see which one of the three has the perfect point-seven ratio, round, childbearing hips and a warm shapely bubble butt. For we viewers, there is one contestant who stands far above the others. There is one we want to see more of. There is only one of the three we want to see picked. Yet, the leading male's comments remain unconnected to what we see. His comments are all about what viewers cannot see. We see him pick a dud for no good reason. Failure.

A nudity show can be pure fun to watch on a channel that allows nudity, such as the nude travel show on the old HDNET Channel. But "Naked Dating" on VH1 does not work as a reality show. What rational purpose does a "NAKED" show serve when is has no nudity? As it is, about the only thing to do is have "Naked Dating" on in the background with the TV sound off and play the beach party music radio station as you putter around your house. Beeches. Sunsets. Beach party music.

If "Naked Dating" changed to be "Micro Bikini Dating" without any blurring, it would become visually sexy and perhaps even interesting to watch.

It's stupid!

[Australian1 · 2/10 · 19 August 2015]

If you are going to blur all the nudity, may as well call it Dating Blurred Naked! We can have blood, shooting, murder, stabbing, drugs... But show part of the human anatomy? No Way! Not sure why Americans, meaning USA, are so ashamed of the body, apart from another Religion who have their women covered up, they would have to be the most prudish on Earth!

Not there are no other US productions of movies which show a lot more or actual sexual positions, and those movies are distributed, but in this show it's mostly shown as "innocent" nudity. The kind of nudity young kids were used to before they were told the body is taboo, must be covered, sex is a sin...

I didn't really watched the whole 2 shows I bothered with, just zipped thru, but the producers may get a bigger audience, more voyeurs if they didn't blur it all. I personally not that keen on a lot of "reality" shows, they are really staged reality and usually pretty boring.

Lack of truth in Advertising!

[aceellaway2010 · 1/10 · 1 August 2014]

Let's see we've had "Naked and Afraid", "naked and Afraid -UNCENSORED!", "Buying Naked" (supposedly buying a home for nudists). Now we have "Naked Dating". The problem is NONE of them are Naked or Nude. These poor saps are conned into appearing on a show naked , but what actually happens is that these shows generate a new career for someone. The blur artist. These is no more nudity involved than many shows that do not feature the word "nude" or "naked" in the title. Just bare butts and a lot of blurring of boobs, cocks, vagina's -even long distance shots of gays balls-from behind are blurred. So the obvious hook is to appeal to the voyeur in all of us. But if I am going to be tempted to watch a show which features the word "nude" or "naked' then I expect to see things that are not normally on display, otherwise what's the point? The TV show crew obviously get o see all the "naughty bits". And I guess the show's casts are too some degree exhibitionists. But the cast of "Naked and Afraid" could be in Speedos and bikinis-why make them go nude? They'll be just as cold and wet in minimum gear. Likewise the stupid reals estate show-"Buying naked" -this one is really pathetic, the cast are shown with table lamps clutching folders, behind candles etc. it disrespects the nudists it's supposed to represent. Can you imagine the direction? "OK, we want you naked, but we DO NOT want to see your cock or your pussy, you MUST always have something in front of them, Er hows that angle Bob, can you see cock?" and then the dating show? Surely if you are going to hook up with a potential mate, then an erection or two is going to happen? Obviously this will not be shown, but again, it's all so deceitful. I posted comments on one site about the "Naked and Afraid" show and got attacked for being a voyeur and somehow being a pervert, but honestly if you're not in some shape form or sense a voyeur why on earth would you tune in to a show promising nudity?

There is nothing wrong with this show...

[mjwwilson · 24 July 2014]

I would rate this show a 9 out of 10. The reason being is not because of the shows contents. Without the nudity, this show would naturally be a 3/10. But because the show is daring and that it exposes how ridiculous censoring nudity is, it deserves a significantly higher rating.

This being said, censoring nudity is a concept in American society that is somewhat of a mystery to us. It actually makes us realize that we actually glorify violence over natural nudity. We are born naked, right? So what can't we show this? Why can we show a person's ass, but not their front? It simply doesn't make sense to me. Am I alone on this? Just today, I was watching a TV show that actually had a censor warning saying that "Indigenous people may be nude" and it was rated TV-PG. Really? Why is this? Ask questions people.... think about this. WHY is it appropriate to show "indigenous" people but not nudity in American culture? Why must we glorify violence? We can show blood people being shot. But we can't show nudity? Why is this?

Should have made the other woman/men interact with each other that way there would be more drama

[kevinmorrison-59645 · 6/10 · 9 August 2021]

Hate that guy keagan he's so dumb he doesn't deserve any of the girls.

Anything but real.

[xxxloroxxxx · 1/10 · 18 July 2014]

This has to be one of the most stupid programs I have ever watched. To call this series a "Reality-TV" show is simply ridiculous. Reality? Where? In Mars? Certainly not on our planet. I have never ever heard of anyone going on a first date completely naked. This is absolutely implausible and extremely impractical too!!! There's no way any of us can relate to this experience. As if having a naked couple trying to connect in front of a camera, which in itself is pretty outlandish, wasn't enough they continue to introduce more naked suitors. I guess the objective is to have people decide who is more sexually desirable based on physical attributes because the conversations are simply atrocious. It's completely nonsensical. But if you decide to go ahead and produce a show like that then...WHY ON EARTH COVER ALL THE NUDITY WITH THOSE TYPICAL DIFFUSED BLOBS??? Find a channel where nudity is admissible and the time slot adequate and show it all. As it is this show is a joke. It would still probably be awful with no censorship but, at least, it would make some sense.

Loved Season 2

[amirascher · 8/10 · 5 October 2015]

The change in format really upgraded the show from being a just a gimmick to one that can give the viewers a few lessons about intimacy, what makes a real connection, the fact that age is but a number and how true personalities are discovered with time. Kerri is a great, open minded, very expressive girl who is in full touch with her emotions and a rare capability of controlling them. I found Chris simply charming. A true gentleman who treats woman tremendous respect but he's a bit young to know exactly what he wants or simply a guy - dazzled by sexy manipulative women. As for Kerri's choice at the end - I think Chris wasn't really into her as a girlfriend but just as a friend to start with. There were no real fireworks there (Oh.. if they'd used the word "connection" one more time...) and I think he chose Kerri just because of his loyalty to the rules of the game. (Which reminds me - Kerri's decision to go home alone that day just should how contagious she really is and how she stays 100% true to herself - more than to the rules of the game or to anything else. I really enjoyed watching.

Should I be ashamed to admit that I enjoyed it?

[johnzeger · 7/10 · 4 September 2016]

Initially, I was embarrassed to admit that I enjoyed watching the few episodes that I saw, but why should I be? Although it's not award winning TV, this show has some positive things going for it. Number one, it's entertaining. The situations are funny. In one episode, a young lady gets cold feet about dating in the buff, puts on her clothes, and declares that she's leaving the island. The contestants are wacky. One scatter-brained woman couldn't stop giggling and was wondering why she couldn't hold on to any guys for very long. And then there are the joys of seeing a shapely butt, as that is the most you're going to see as there is no full frontal nudity. I'm sure some people think this show is stupid but there are dumber reality shows on TV viz., Big Brother and The Kardashians, which I refuse to watch. Even The Bachelor has less entertainment value, in my opinion. See? I can be a snob too!

Horrible

[leavemealone-61138 · 1/10 · 6 September 2015]

If I could give it a zero I would. Horribly offensive, stupid, and fake. Turned it right off it was so bad. If the tone was more like Naked and Afraid I might have watched. Lap dances? Gross. It's like a bachelor party gone bad. Isn't there enough junk on TV? It will be canceled, mark my words. The producers and/or production teams should be embarrassed to say the least. I would never want my reputation ruined in this way. They better have a better show coming down the pike or their reputation WILL be in jeopardy. Some production teams and or exec producers have redeemed themselves in the past but not sure this company can produce good quality TV. Time will tell. Don't give up yet though, do something in better taste and you might be successful yet. Good luck to one and all.

A Stripped Down Version of The Bachelor

[atlasmb · 8/10 · 25 July 2014]

"Dating Naked" is a show where, like "The Bachelor", the producers line up dates with potential love interests. In this case, a man and a woman are each "dating" others in hopes of making a suitable match while at a tropical island location.

In the first episode, we meet Joe and WeeWee (that's her nickname). After very little ceremony, they strip and then have a "date" together on a nearby beach. They play in the surf where she voices such sweet nothings as "Shut up, jackass. I'm gonna kill you." She is kidding, of course.

He is from Long Island and she was originally from NYC. During asides to the camera, they explain what they are looking for. She feels her clock ticking and fears appearing desperate. He was disappointed by a short marriage and hopes to regain trust. I can't see how this date does much to further their goals, but nudity does break down some barriers. Later, they have a clothed dinner where they share their feelings and hopes.

In phase two of the show, Joe meets and spends time with Jasmine (in the nude). She is very attractive and she knows it. She wants someone who is "adventurous" and "sexy" and "honest", but it seems like she views the show more as a competition than as a chance to connect. They go boogie boarding. Their time together is very flirty. They also discuss WeeWee.

Meanwhile, WeeWee meets Jack, a guy who says he is very flexible when it comes to the type of woman he seeks. Their date consists of body painting. Though there is some awkwardness at first, eventually they are very comfortable with each other, even applying some paint with their hands. But the connection is somewhat platonic. WeeWee brings up the subject of Joe.

Then all four of them spend time together poolside at the villa. Clothes come off. Jasmine and Joe make out while WeeWee wonders exactly what Joe is thinking.

In phase three, Joe meets Chrissie, a performance violinist who wants a man who is "funny" and "driven". A motorboat pulls them on an inner tube until they are exhausted--not exactly the best setting for soul sharing. WeeWee meets Justice, an events (party) planner or producer from Miami Beach. They take a hike through jungle mud while WeeWee wonders if Justice is a player.

Then it's back to the jungle villa where the six of them cavort in the pool. Jasmine and Justice seem rather touchy-feely. She is hoping that Joe will assert himself and pursue her. Joe and WeeWee retire upstairs where they share their first kiss and she reinforces the connection by calling him a "jerk". WeeWee now exhibits signs of possessiveness. When they go back to the pool, Jasmine reconnects with Joe and they go upstairs to make out until WeeWee comes looking.

In "The Bachelor", participants know that the bachelor or bachelorette will spend time with others, and feelings of jealousy are scorned. Is the same true of "Dating Naked"?

In the final phase, the six are reunited with the hostess where Joe and WeeWee get to make their choices among the three candidates for their affection. Joe chooses WeeWee. WeeWee chooses Joe, though she still wonders about his intentions. And they walk off hand in hand.

Apparently there is no prize other than the trip to the island and the experience. And there is no explanation of what happens if they choose someone else. Or if there are conflicting choices. I assume they all walk off the show and resolve things any way they want to. Or not.

It does feel like most of the participants are there to find love, marriage or a significant other. But is this format the best way to accomplish that? Probably not. Does the nudity contribute to the chances of finding someone? Probably not.

Update 8/17/14: After watching a few episodes of this show, I think the producers do a good job of finding interesting daters. I don't know how effective the show is as a venue for long-term connections, but it is entertaining to see how these people cope with the situation. The nudity is a factor, but the condensed time frame and the multiple partners make for some interesting situations.

Update 8/22/14: The question about long-term connections may have been answered. They announced that one couple will be marrying.

Update 9/17/05: Season 2 is so much better than season 1. The format is much improved. I am raising my grade to "8".

Degeneracy

[standash-2 · 1/10 · 20 May 2015]

It didn't take too long in the 1960's for the Christian's in the United States to degenerate and this degeneracy has lasted for 50 years now. How shameful has the United States gotten that they allow this pure filth to go out over the airwaves? Drugs were the lubricant for the destruction of thousands of years of morality , but I thin there was something large that was the promotion of the noble savage third world by the United nations to assist in this degeneration. Homosexuality, perverted sex, child sex, porn, drug taking, dumbing down of the population all are harbingers of the destruction of the idea of freedom as perfectly illustrated in the United States.

The one thing western society isn't learning from naked shows

[billy-91647 · 16 April 2023]

If we all could set aside our body shaming learned behavior (from young ages), and think objectively about human biology/anatomy would such an objective mind so remove the scales from our eyes that we could see the absurdity of a 'naked themed show' having to blur out its thematic element? While I agree with keeping tv adult topics & sexual behaviors away from youngsters, who convinced us that plain ole bare biology (minus sexuality) should be automatically sexual? DOES THIS SHOW GET INTO ADULT THEMES? YES. However, with the objective mind, I could see that even if this was just tarsan in the jungle nudity, or naturists on a beach, the bare bodies would still be blurred, as if seeing such, or human participation (even in a safe/loving environment) could corrupt, or endanger in and of/OR BY their own biological skin.

Puritan roots run deep among all English/nations (who came out of Puritan England). Violence was always a family event (such as burning accused witches), but a bare breast was an unspeakable evil. I PRAY many (through shows like this) may begin to see the same. We truly need a change of mindset, imo.

If the nudity wasn't blurred, I could give this show a 10. Any show that expands the narrow scope of tolerability concerning something so natural as bare biology deserves my support. Final insight (eye opener) I derived (through watching and 'after show' contemplation) was how hypocritical we are by body shaming;. I realized the face is the first/foremost sexual attractor, yet no laws force kiddos to wear Halloween masks on all their socials.

SMH.

[colonel-13070 · 1/10 · 24 March 2024]

Another brain melting reality TV series. How this ever caught on is beyond me years ago. I don't even know how to explain it. The scenarios are obviously staged because they have to be. There Hass to be some kind of direction. But worse the plot, and the people in it are scripted to various degrees with a general outcome already known. It's reality, but made for TV which is not reality at all. And people follow this garbage like it's the real thing. Often times reality TV is surrounded by epic failures and tragic scenarios that make screwed up. Lives look normal by exploiting these people on national television. This here, of course, is just another bizarre angle to the whole thing. No pun intended. And no I didn't watch it. But when I saw the advertisement here, I just couldn't help but comment on another mindless waste of time.

I absolutely LOVE "Dating Naked"

[corporatehousingofatlanta · 10/10 · 10 August 2016]

Well, I don't know about all the other Naked Reality shows, but I love Dating Naked, and have thoroughly enjoyed it since its opening. It was a new concept which I appreciate since I believe in natural living when possible, and this takes us back to how God created us...free and naked in natural surroundings. I believe that Dating is necessary in order to move forward with your life with the right person. This season shows lower ratings than previous years, however, I don't understand why since I am thoroughly enjoying this season, Season 3, above all other seasons. David and Natalie are both very easy to watch, and were the perfect fit for the show. I like their energy and applaud the producers, editors, directors and all others who brought this season's show to the success that I see it as. And No, I do not know any of the characters or actors at all, but I just want to send in my comments due to the ratings I saw for this season. I am a very conservative person, not a smoker, drinker or drug user, so this show is my escape from the stressful living from day-to-day work. The show is such a refreshing change of pace from other programming, and it is very respectful, delightful and gives me something wonderful to look forward to each week. I can't wait to see the next episode...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

My Favorite Show of All Time

[jessicafstone · 10/10 · 8 March 2018]

I was SO disappointed when they cancelled this show. This show gave me some of the best nights of my life. I laughed so hard until I cried, I cried so hard that I laughed because, why the hell was I crying over a television show? I'LL TELL YOU WHY. Chris and Kerri were the best couple on the show, period. They met other lovers, went on countless jiggle dates, and tried to hard to just "stay friends" that it pulled at your heartstrings. Speaking of jiggle dates...who the hell doesn't love a good, old-fashioned jiggle date!? Anyone who hates this show is a buzz kill and no fun at all. They definitely would never be my friend. Literally, all you need to do right now is go find Season 3, Episode 7, "Pub Crawls & Great Balls". After you watch the majestic and awe-inspiring dance moves of D'Andre, your life will be complete. You would be doing yourself a great favor if you watched this television phenomenon RIGHT NOW.

WARNING: Do not watch without alcohol consumption.

Hilarious

[axdn · 9/10 · 1 October 2019]

You have to binge it whilst doing something else. The brilliance that is Fallons manipulation skills are worth a watch alone
