Would You Fall Through a Trap Door For Love?

There isn’t a doubt in my thoughts that probably the most revolutionary considering of our time is going on within the realm of deranged actuality dating shows. The latest gem from this fount of creativity is The Love Lure, a courting present wherein ladies are eradicated by a literal entice door. Is it secure, you ask? Has anybody gotten injured?

What you must actually be asking is, does the host guarantee the opposite contestants that the lady who falls by the entice door is just not useless? That one, I can reply: completely, sure he does.

The premise of Love Lure, which premiered on the finish of October, is {that a} group of ladies compete for a person’s affections, besides that a few of them don’t care in any respect about this man (go off, queen!) and are as a substitute vying for a money prize that they’ll win in the event that they’re chosen by the bachelor. On the finish of each episode, rather than a rose ceremony, there’s what I’ll name a trap-door ceremony, throughout which — as soon as extra — a girl falls by a entice door upon being eradicated.

One clip from the present, a shorter version of which has been circulating on Twitter, is particularly surreal. Within the video, our trio of contestants descends to the “entice room,” which is defined by the host solely as a “very particular room within the depths of the home” the place they’re residing. The contestants, really, DON’T KNOW why this aggressively gilded basement is named the entice room. No, not till they’re standing over their little traps is it revealed to them that they may very well be dropped into oblivion at any second. Inexplicably, all of them keep standing on their spots.

Then, a person we’ll name “primary bachelor man” selects which lady he believes is competing for a money prize as a substitute of his monumental coronary heart. The girl, in case you continue to don’t imagine me, instantly falls by a entice door. Somebody gasps. We pan to a collection of reactions from the 2 different contestants who’ve been spared. Behold:

Emmys for all of them, each single one.

As soon as the truth that this eradicated lady has, certainly, vanished by a entice door settles in, the host takes a second to guarantee our two different contestants, “She’s not useless.”

Fortunately, neither are we, which implies we’re lucky sufficient to have the out-of-body expertise that’s watching a girl fall by a entice door on actuality TV. Within the immortal phrases of the surviving contestants, “Cheers to not falling by the ground tonight!”
