In a time before Tinder, Texting, Social Media , Youtube, Grubhub , and Uber , there was a syndicated , American Reality TV show called
Blind Date , which I used to watch as in the late 90s and early 00s.
Sometimes the dates turned out well , but alot of times, they were at best awkward trainwrecks

.
This is a collection of some of the worse dates , complete with unbleeped curse words ,and fowl language ,unsuitable for American Network Television.
This was during the height of shows like
Jerry Springer,
Survivor,
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire ? ,etc, when Producers realized it was much cheaper to produce reality content, than hire actors, build sets ,and have script writers.
Clearly there are times when things get heated due to heavy alcohol consumption, but other times it's obvious these people just don't like each other .

.
Back in the day, if your date went side ways , and you both arrive in the same car, there wasn't an Uber or lift apt to get you out of it ASAP , you had to literally use a payphone and call friend, family, or a Taxi.
It's hysterical a peak back into the late 20th century dating world , and it's wild to think that alot of these people featured are probably Parents of teens and 20 somethings at this point.
