"Dating Naked" reviews are not very kind to to the new VH1 show which aims to attract, shock, and keep viewers hooked by changing their TV viewing experience with a different kind of matchmaking: The contestants pair up without their clothes on.

Although interesting, TIME cited in its "Dating Naked" review that the show was not the first TV reality program to stun audience with nudity. It came in second to Discovery's "Naked and Afraid" and preceded "Buying Naked" by TLC.

But as striking as the idea of meeting a nude date is, NY Daily News commented that the astonishment eventually wears off after a few minutes - and this could be advantageous and disadvantageous at the same time for the show.

On the upside, it indicates that "Dating Naked" offers something more than nakedness to keep its viewers amused. The downside, however, is that it presents nothing more than the same old dating show with a typical premise, made initially interesting only by the nudity of the contestants.

Based on the observations of TIME, nudity gives the show its unique appeal. In the age of online dating where couples tend to hide behind profile pics, "Dating Naked" aims to break away by first eliminating the physical inhibitions, so that participants can focus on getting more acquainted on a personal level.

The show boldly engages contestants in various dating activities clad in nothing but their birthday suits. The magazine commented that viewers could find this quite entertaining. However, the novelty quickly wanes and what remains is the usual premise used by most dating shows.

About the contestants' reason for partaking in the contest, TIME described their intentions as baffling. Because the show provides them no guarantee in terms of getting famous or finding true love, let alone accomplishing something noteworthy, the site pointed out in its "Dating Naked" review that the only conspicuous reason would have to be: getting the chance to be on TV.
