Tonight, Jenny McCarthy fans can relive the glory days as the Residence Hall Student Association (RHSA) brings its version of MTV's old game show "Singled Out!" to the HUB.
Prizes include a Valentine's Day dinner date to three winning couples.
Fashioned after the popular, early '90s dating game, tonight's rendition of "Singled Out!" will feature singles competing against singles, showing off their smoothest moves for the chance to win a guaranteed dinner date with a predetermined suitor or suitorette.
The RHSA, however, wanted to put its own spin on the MTV original, promoting gender equality by awarding a grand prize to couples representing each of three sexual orientations: queer male, queer female and straight.
After receiving a lack of applications for queer female participants, the game will now feature romantic dinner prizes for one queer male couple and two straight couples.
"I have a good feeling about this," said Mike Snowden, RHSA director of programming. "There is chatter around the residence halls about it."
Snowden arranged for the game as part of the 2007 RHSA Winterfest, which provides fun activities for students each night for one week during winter quarter.
During tonight's game show there will be two rounds of mini-games in which contestants will be asked to prove themselves worthy of the suitor or suitorette.
These games might include giving their best pick-up line, singing and an interactive challenge involving the audience.
Following each round of games, the suitor or suitorette will have the opportunity to separate the potentially good daters from the potentially bad ones, ultimately selecting a finalist who will accompany them on a Valentine's Day dinner paid for by RHSA.
And for those eager daters who are ready to "woo" the awaiting suitor or suitorette but have not yet filled out an application, there is still a chance to prove that you have what it takes to date, as walk-ons will be welcome at the event.
