英国相亲真人秀《克隆人的游戏》

Game of Clones is a British dating reality show that has contestants¹ describe the physical attributes of their perfect man/woman in great detail and then choose between several candidates that all look and dress the same. Apparently², the idea this new show is trying to promote is that it's what's inside that counts.

 

《克隆人的游戏》是一档英国相亲真人秀，这档节目让嘉宾详细描述出他们心目中的完美男人/女人的外貌特征，然后选出几个长得很像、穿着也完全一样的候选人。显然，这档新节目要推广的理念就是内在更重要。
 

 

When it comes to the physical appearance of their perfect date, everyone has a type. Channel 4's new dating reality show Game of Clones, gives singletons access the latest avatar building technology to virtually create their perfect partner, down to the tiniest details. Height, hairstyle, hair color, eye color, build, skin pigment³, you name it they will enter it in a software and create your perfect partner based on your preferences.

 

Once you're satisfied with their rendition of your fantasy, Game of Clones will scour⁴ the UK in search of eight people that fit your description and closely resemble each other, dress them all in the exact same clothes and put them all in a house with you for several weeks. With all contestants essentially⁵ being doppelgangers, it's assumed that looks are no longer a criteria⁶ for selection, so participants will have to gradually eliminate seven of the eight candidates based on their personalities⁷.

 

"It sounds like any singleton's dream, to create your perfect partner in avatar form and then get to live with eight of them," said David Flynn, co-founder of Youngest Media, the company that came up with the concept for the unique dating show. "However with looks out of the equation our singleton will have to work hard to uncover the personality they're most attracted to. It's a whole new twist on the dating show genre⁸."

 

The whole doppelganger is really the only thing that sets this show apart from your usual dating TV shows. Participants go through the same type of speed-dating rounds, spending a limited time with each of the candidates to discover their personalities. And, at the end of each week, they will have to send one of the "clones" home, until only three finalists remain. So it's more of the same but the candidates all look the same.
