    Bravo Rebooting Blind Date TV Show in Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    Do you remember the reality show, “Blind Date”, that followed two strangers’ first date with hilariously sarcastic narratives and thought bubbles? If you do, “Blind Date” is being rebooted by Bravo and is set to start filming this summer exclusively in Atlanta. “Blind Date” intends to bring back traditional blind dating juxtaposed to today’s digital age of social media dating apps.

    ‘Blind Date’ TV show in Atlanta: Everything you need to know

    Along with incorporating social media trends within the show, Bravo promises to include more diversity on set with “diverse couples of all ethnicities, ages and sexual orientations…”

    The show plans on shooting between May and August and intends on keeping the original format of pairing two singles together for a night out on the town.

    If you ever wanted to be on TV and find your soulmate, here’s your chance. If you happen to be in search of Mr. or Mrs. Right and stay within two hours of Atlanta, “Blind Date” may be looking for you.

    ‘Blind Date’ casting call in Atlanta: How to apply

    One of the application requirements for the show is a one-day commitment to film. If selected to appear on the show, there will be a monetary stipend (paid gig) and production pays for the date.

    The application consists of online questions that range between asking why you’re single to how your ex would describe your worst traits.

    One of the most iconic reality shows from the early 2000s, “Blind Date” set the bar for dating shows by revealing the awkwardness many singles experience on a first-time blind date. The show originally syndicated from 1999 to 2006.

    For more information email datingshow@pitmanproductions.com or call 818-666-3606.

    Megan Thee Stallion Dishes On Going Green

    “In high school, I was in this environmental science class, so that’s when I started learning about the environment and what was going on,” she said.

    “When I graduated I never really thought about it again — I would try to conserve though — but when one of my Hotties came she was like, “Hey Megan, I know it’s a Hot Girl Summer, but can we talk about global warming … I was like, ‘you know what: Sis, tell us what we need to do.”

    Megan says she’s been considering giving up meat as well.

    “I’ve been eating a lot of vegan food lately, but i’m really on the vegetarian boat right now. Vegan is kind of hard, I love cheese.”
