Dating Naked: Playing for Keeps (2014–2016)
Plot
These days we're supposed to be more "connected" than ever, but it's actually harder than ever to truly connect. Online dates, blind dates, and the latest in ridiculous dating apps all make it hard to see people for who they really are. Last Summer a new social experiment provided daters with a radical dating experience where before they bared their souls they bared everything else first.Dating Naked: Playing for Keeps explores the art of romance, free of preconceived notions, stereotypes – and clothes. Hosted by Amy Paffrath, Dating Naked: Playing for Keeps is set on a romantic tropical island, BUT this time features two primary daters, Kerri and Chris, as they search for love.Each week, 2 new men and 2 new women will strip down for a shot at igniting a spark with our primary daters. At the end of each episode, Kerri and Chris will each pick the one person they connected with the most to be their "keeper", and ask them to remain on the island. As sexy new singles arrive every week, vying for the coveted "keeper" spots, initial connections will be put to the test and deeper feelings may begin to develop.Can Kerri and Chris handle the competition? Or will temptation and jealousy run rampant on the island? When everyone has stripped away the artifices of the modern world and revealed their ultimate, honest selves, the results will be truly surprising.
