Blind Date (TV Show)

 

Cilla Black enters the stage and the usual audience cheer follows. The show that has gained a cult following is on the usual Saturday night prime time slot.

 

The format of the show has one lucky hopeful on one side of the screen. On the other, are three members of the opposite sex, all of whom will answer three questions with the aim of being picked and becoming the contestant’s blind date.

 

As always, we start with an intro to the three singles, and tonight it is three guys. Male 1 is a handsome looking chap in his mid twenties. He looks a little like a catalogue model with a chiselled jaw and slick hairstyle. He obviously works out some. He tells Cilla that his name is Rick and that he is a sales rep looking for love.

Male 2 is Phil. Of a similar age, dark skinned and a holiday rep looking for some fun.

Male 3 is Tom. Again, mid twenties on the thin side. He says he loves his women to be feminine and be able to respect their man. The audience give him a cold reception at his slightly chauvinistic views.

 

The screen draws across as Cilla asks the female chooser to come out. The audience cheer, and many wolf whistles are heard as she makes her way down the steps. She had blonde curly hair and is really attractive. She sits in the raised stool and Cilla immediately asks her about the huge calves that have suddenly become visible.

 

“Hi Cilla, my name is Mandy, I am 22 and I work as a personal trainer. I work out 5 days a week and am looking forward to meeting the love of my life on Blind Date here tonight”

 

Cilla explores the workouts a little more and manages to get Mandy to flex a bicep.

 

A hush goes over the crowd as out pops a huge and defined muscle that you could not have guessed existed from her tidy nature. The three guys of course can’t see any of this, but they can hear.

 

Mandy begins.

 

“Question 1. I love to spend my summer days down on the beach. What is your ideal holiday and why? That goes first to number 1”

 

Male 1 begins his answer.

 

“Well, I am a high earner and would love to take you to my parents villa in The Maldives. I tool love the beach, but I prefer the bedroom that looks onto the Indian Ocean.”

 

Male 2 replies.

 

“Well, I think the beach is just fine too. SHELL I tell you about our date on the beach? We would COAST hand in hand. I am SHORE that you would fall in love with me SAND you would fine me hard to resist. I know you would not WAVE goodbye to me at the end of our date.”

 

Male 3 gives his answer.

 

“Well, to be honest, I don’t really like the beach. Sand seems to get in my eyes, well it does when the muscle men kick it in there. I much prefer a weekend in Clacton on Sea. I know it sounds old fashioned, but it is safe and cosy”

 

The audience laugh at this feeble answer.

 

Mandy makes a few notes on the responses and goes into question 2.

 

“An ex once took me on a Gondola in Venice. Where would you take me to top that?”

 

Male 1 again starts first.

 

“Well, after the Maldives trip, I would whisk you up the Eiffel Tower, then to Rome, and onto Barcelona. And after the tour of the most romantic places in the world, I would hold you tight as we flew off to New York where I would propose on the top of the Empire State”

 

“Great answer” comments Cilla who thinks this guy is in pole position.

 

Number 2…

 

“I can think of nothing better than skiing in the Alps. Hand in hand on the slopes, then retiring to the log cabin, snuggled on the sofa with the log fire burning. Maybe then I would melt your heart”

 

…and number 3.

 

“It would have to be a day in the Natural History Museum in London”

 

“That’s it?” mocks Mandy, “what about the London Eye, I hear that’s romantic”

 

Number 3 adds more

 

“Well, I am actually scared of highs and often get nosebleeds, so I don’t think I would go that way sorry”

 

Again, the audience laugh at this obvious geek.

 

“My final question” starts Mandy, “I workout quite a lot and have a pretty athletic physique. How do you keep in shape”?

 

Number 1 can’t wait to answer this one

 

“Well, I workout too. I actually entered a couple of bodybuilding shows and set a University bench press record”

 

With that, he unbuttons his shirt and the crowd go wild at his Chippendale like chest.

 

Number 2

 

“I competed at National level in the 400m, and still represent my county in the pool. I am pretty toned and am aiming to complete the London marathon next month in a personal best time”

 

And number 3.

 

“Well, I have to say that I don’t agree with women who lift weights, it is really a male sport. I am traditional in that sense. I play a bit of snooker and go fishing most weekends. I am fit enough”

 

Cilla laughs at another weedy answer.

 

“Ok Mandy, you have heard from all three. Before you make up your mind, here is Graham with a quick reminder.

 

The voice over comes on with a brief summary of each man.

 

“Mandy, do you go for number 1, who has Chippendale like features and a big bulge in his pants, his wallet. Or is it to be number 2? He likes romance and travel and seems to be willing to whisk your heart away. Or do you choose number 3? He wants women to stay out of the gym, but don’t get your hopes too high, he may get a nosebleed. Mandy, the decision is yours.

 

Mandy puts down her notepad and smiles.

 

“There is only one real choice here Cilla. I choose, number 3”

 

A huge ironic cheer goes up from the audience. Contestant 1 and 2 shake their heads. Each of the losers makes his way around the divide and shakes their head at the opportunity they just missed out on.

 

Number 3 walks to the side of the divide. The screen moves back and Mandy meets Tom. They embrace and Mandy lifts Tom off the floor. He may not be huge, but must weight at least 155lbs, so this is a pretty impressive feat of strength.

 

Cilla asks Tom for his opinion.

 

“Very pretty girl, not sure about the bulges in the arms, but I am sure if we hit it off I can convince her to give up the gym”

 

Mandy laughs.

 

Mandy then selects a card at random to reveal that they will be heading to Las Vegas for the weekend blind date. They leave up the stairs hand in hand.

.

The next week, we rejoin the show. The couples return to tell all about their date.

 

Cilla invites Mandy and Tom to the stage. A huge roar goes up as Mandy steps forward with her date scooped up in her arms. She cradle carries him down the stairs to the sofa where the couple sit hand in hand.

 

The video footage of their date begins to play on the big screen…

 

 

 

NOW, I WANT SOMEONE TO PICK THIS STORY UP HERE AND FINISH IT OFF. COME ON GUYS, I AM SURE ONE OF YOU CAN DO IT……
