Last night, ‘N Sync’s “Digital Getdown” was one of many songs that could be heard bouncing off the HUB’s walls, preparing students for three untamed rounds of the Residence Hall Student Association’s (RHSA) dating game Singled Out.

A “Love Gun” catapult and red plastic “Love Cuffs” were among the prizes adorning the back table of HUB 108 yesterday, where more than 50 students gathered to watch single men and women vie for a guaranteed dinner date for Valentine’s Day.

“I’m going to win myself a hot date!” said freshman contestant Kim Chung in anticipation of the event.

Mike Snowden, RHSA director of programming, and Kelsey Mussman, ASUW’s Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender Commission (GLBTC) director were the acting emcees, instructing contestants to “strut their stuff” as they attempted to woo their mystery suitor.

Snowden worked with fellow RHSA members to adapt the old MTV show into the UW’s own version, aimed at promoting gender equality with three rounds of suitors: straight female, queer male and straight male.

The suitors lounged — unidentified — behind a large black curtain as contestants worked to stay in the game, enduring three rounds of elimination. The rounds included a “superficial” round, a challenge round and a round in which contestants had to guess how the suitor would respond to a question.

“Actually, my washer is broken, can I use your abs?” asked sophomore suitor Anna Demyanik as she narrowed down her potential dates in the “superficial round.”

Sophomore Scott Albin won his way into Demyanik’s heart in the lightening round by correctly guessing how old Demyanik was when she received her first training bra.

Albin and Demyanik were the first winners, receiving a $50 gift certificate to Cutter’s Bay restaurant for a romantic dinner date on Seattle’s waterfront on Valentine’s Day.

“My name is Wade, and I’d like to scuba dive in your ocean,” said freshman Wade Caves, offering his best pick up line to suitor Brandon Knox, a senior, during the challenge round.

Caves competed against two other men in his round, finally landing a date with an enthusiastic Knox.

“The past few days I was so nervous,” said Knox of being a suitor. “But it was a lot of fun during the game.”

Sophomore Kelvin Wong was the final suitor, walking away with a gift certificate and a Valentine’s date with freshman Courtney De La Mater.
