There have been several very popular dating shows on U.S. television. One show that everyone knows is an older "game show," or TV show where people compete to win, called "The Dating Game." On this show, there is one "bachelor," an unmarried man, or "bachelorette," an unmarried woman. This person can ask questions of three "contestants," or people who are competing. The difficulty is that the bachelor or bachelorette cannot see the contestants who are seated behind a wall. The bachelor or bachelorette must chose one of the contestants based only on their answers to the questions. When the bachelor or bachelorette selects one of the contestants, they go on a date, usually on a trip, which the TV show gives them as a prize.

Another TV show that has been popular in the past few years is a show called "The Bachelor." The show selects a very handsome and successful man to be the star. He lives in a house for several weeks with a group of beautiful women who want to date him. The woman compete to show the bachelor that she is the right woman for him. Each week, the bachelor "kicks off," or dismisses, one of the contestants. On the last show, he picks one woman to date, and maybe to ask her to marry him. There have been several "seasons," or years, of this show and some of them have "turned the tables," or changed things completely, to have a woman as the star of the show. In this case, she lives with a group of men who want to date her and she decides who stays and who goes. These shows were called "The Bachelorette."
