Several years ago, aspiring producer Jack Piuggi had an idea for a reality TV show. What if there were a documentary-style “faux” dating competition – that also explored the role of internet fame in romantic pursuits?
“What I was going to do was bring in contestants that we had cast off of Instagram,” said Piuggi, 27. “Next, I was going to have my friends and family sit on a board panel, like American Idol, and we were going to decide whether these were date-worthy women or not.” The competition, however, would also reveal that his male friends would engage in base, selfish behavior and do pretty much anything for a date.
