You’ll no doubt recall how Channel 4 series Naked Attraction created quite a stir when it debuted last year.
The show sees two individuals each pick a person from a line-up of six to go on a date with. The catch is that everyone in the line-up is naked and the ‘picker’ can only see them from the neck down. Before making their final decision, the ‘pickers’ reject the bodies they dislike and explain their decisions for doing so.
Chrissy Teigen got her first dose of the strangeness of British television when she watched the series on a recent visit to London – her reactions to it were brilliant:
Uh there is something called Naked Attraction on here in london and WHAT TF IS THIS it's dating based on genitals. Like I'm seeing pp's

Oh my god they are just looking at genitalia. It's zooming in on penis and balls

Perhaps ever funnier were other Tweeters’ reactions as she continued commentating:
on behalf of the uk.....i'm sorry

So...is it solely based on geni's ? As in you decide to date solely based on the geni's?

they start by revealing the waist down, then neck down then full then they speak and at each round they eliminate one person

I would die if I were the first person eliminated based strictly on genitals

And as proof that Naked Attraction isn’t the only British TV show that has a compelling format, Chrissy also checked out Celebs Go Dating and loved it:
