The Choice

Fox’s upcoming celebrity dating show The Choice has lined up a list of famous bachelors and bachelorettes to audition sexy singles in prime time.

EW.com has the complete list of celebrity contestants, the first
photo from the set and some behind-the-scenes insight from Fox’s
alternative series guru Mike Darnell.

The Choice has cast singer Joe Jonas, actor Dean Cain, fashion model Tyson Beckford, former American Idol
star Taylor Hicks, Jersey Shore stars Pauly D and Mike “The Situation”
Sorrentino, chef Rocco Dispirito, TV personality Rob Kardashian, former
NFL star Warren Sapp and more (full list below). The female celebrities
include actress Carmen Electra and model Hope Dworaczyk.

In each episode, four celebrities sit in spinning chairs and listen
to non-famous prospective dates pitch themselves. Over the course of
three rounds, the contestant pool is paired down until each celebrity
has chosen their date for the evening
“What started out as a goof ended up being a ridiculously good format,” says Fox’s Darnell, who was on hand during The Choice‘s
recent taping. “It really feels like a hit. It was charming and funny…
[The show] works beautifully. It’s going to sell all over the world.”

Five of the episodes will feature male celebrities; one episode puts
women in the power seats. The contestants were unaware who the
celebrities were until moments before they went on stage, but that
didn’t stop the sparks. “The [female contestants] took it ridiculously
seriously, like they were getting married,” Darnell says. “A couple of
the setups really had chemistry.”

Though none of the celebrities bombed with the contestants, Jonas, Cain and Beckford were particularly sought after, as was Suburgatory actor Parker Young and, somewhat surprisingly, Dispirito.

The Choice is hosted by Cat Deeley, who Darnell says turned
out to be a “perfect fit” for the show. The series will be paired with
Fox’s other new dating show, Take Me Out, on Thursday nights starting June 7.

This will be good!

I thought I saw Taylor as one of the guys last night when they showed the commercial. Really looking forward to seeing who he ends up with.

EH! Another stupid contest show. Sorry, but I'm getting tired of them. Just like all the dumb reality shows networks insist on airing. I do hope Taylor has fun though.

Aww come on, Taylor and his humor plus hes shy in so many ways.. this will be fun to see him squirm a bit and blush and well just be Taylor lol. As for the show itself ehh on that I agree but I have to see Tay lol

Can't argue with that. It will be fun to see Tay squirm a little. heeheehee
