![]() By masking people’s faces, the show claims to simulate what dating would be like if you had to base choices on personality alone contestants navigate stilted questions from one another like “Do you believe in love?” and “Would you still be attracted to me if I weighed 300 pounds?” At best, the series is a container of puffed cheese balls-you know it’s not good for you, or even particularly satisfying, but at some point you’ve had so much you might as well finish it. Contestants are not always dressed as animals there are trolls and rocks and witches, too, but the intent is the same. Each episode focuses on one contestant who goes on dates with three others and, by the end of the run time, selects a person whose face they’ve never seen to be their “sexy beast”-at which point the prosthetics come off. I was five episodes into Sexy Beasts, a dating show in which slim young people are outfitted with animal heads and sent to various locations-a bowling alley, an ax throwing range, a Land Rover test course-to attempt to flirt from beneath producer-issued get-ups. It was around the time that the praying mantis was contemplating doing a stomach slide down a bowling alley lane that I began to question my choices.
