I've only come across those dating shows on mtv a number of times but i'm CONVINCED its staged. And not by actors just by normal people who are told to say certain things and do certain things at certain times.
The format is EXACTLY the same every episode.
The one where the parents look for someone else to date their son or daughter is ridiculously obvious.
