Hell Date

A short-lived two season black dating show with a twist.

Broadcast
BET 2007-2008

Season 1
The show starts with one unsuspecting dater telling the viewer who his/her ideal date mate is. This individual thinks that he/she is on a standard dating show (such as Blind Date) where both daters have gone on a TV show to look for love. However, in this case the second dater is actually an actor portraying a genuine dater. The actor (known as a "Hell Dater") portrays a character who has an incredibly annoying personality trait which is typical of the single worst date that most people have ever been on.

As the date progresses, the Hell Dater becomes increasingly more extreme in their off-putting behavior, making life more and more miserable for the unsuspecting dater. Finally, the victimized dater is put out of their misery when a little person dressed as a devil jumps out, pokes them with a pitch fork and exclaims "You on Hell Date!".

Season 2
in the season there are now three "Hell Daters" who are coached by the "devil" prior to the date and one "innocent victim!" All three Hell Daters go on the first date together and as the date segment progresses one Hell Dater is eliminated. The Final 30 minutes of the show includes only one Hell Dater and the "victim" and is in a smilar format to season 1. (NOTE: This new format is similar to ElimiDATE except that the firrst two Hell Daters are eliminated during the first date)
