Where sloppy, drunken hookups were once a mainstay of the dating-show canon, a fresh crop of series prizes chastity and emotional connection above all else — sort of
Soon enough, “the hottest, horniest, commitment-phobic swipesters,” as the show describes the cast, are back in the game. Sex is swapped for self-reflection and emotional development.

“There are more people in the world than ever, yet people seem to be struggling to find someone they want to spend time with, let alone spend the rest of their life with,” sayscreator Chris Coelen. “The idea we based the show on is that physical attraction is one of the least important things to the success of a long-term relationship. Study after study shows that. And yet, I think as people date, physical attraction is right up front.
Similarly, Kelly Chase breaks up with Kenny Barnes on their wedding day, after saying that she’s just not as “infatuated” with him as she wants to be. Carlton Morton, who was briefly engaged to Diamond Jack, is a different case, but one that still comes back to sex in its own way. After proposing, Morton admits that he’s bisexual, setting off an explosive fight that ends in the couple’s breakup.
