Summary
The show matched up several contestants who were routinely switched with other contestants. While contestants were nude most of the time, their genitals and female breasts were blurred. The first season featured a new pair of contestants in each episode. For the remaining seasons, the format changed: there were two main contestants, a male and a female, and new contestants would join each episode to date them, in a format similar to shows such as The Bachelor. In the German and British versions of the show, nudity is completely uncensored.
Lawsuit
In August 2014, Jessie Nizewitz, a contestant on the third episode of Season 1 (which aired July 31, 2014), filed a $10 million lawsuit against series producers Viacom, Firelight Entertainment, and Lighthearted Entertainment after they broadcast an uncensored shot of her crotch. Two months later, Viacom, Firelight Entertainment, and Lighthearted Entertainment sought to have the lawsuit dismissed, claiming Nizewitz was in violation of her contract. In March 2015, the lawsuit was dismissed by a New York Supreme Court judge.
