China Matchmaking Program On Channel U

[jw5]

Watching this program on channel U. Think it's a repeat from 8pm, which I didn't catch.

The show has 24 women available who are free to select each of the male guests on the program. The guy will introduce himself in person and there will also be some video footage of him and his friends/family introducing him.
The guy will initially select the gal he likes, then the women will generally switch off their lights if they decide they don't like him. Once all 24 women switch off their lights, the male contestant says bye bye. :o
If at the end of the guy's presentation, there are still gals who have their lights on, he will switch all off except 2, and then decide between the 2 after asking more questions.

The show is hosted by a bald guy and there are 2 commentators (not judges), one man and one woman. Both the host and the male commentator are bald, the current contestant also bald.

A few things I noted about the show in general:

1. Some of the gals are chiobus, some not.
2. Some of them seem to be princesses, or like da xiao jie.
3. Don't particular like gal number 21, seems very pushy.
4. The gals are practical, a few weeks ago, there was an american chinese guy, short not very good looking, didn't speak mandarin very well. But there were 6 gals with lights still on at the end of his presentation.
5. There are also gals who go with their instincts, like today's show, one gal who studied in america went with a guy who likes hip-hop and a tall gal who chose a short guy a few weeks ago.
6. Now bald contestant choosing between 2 princesses.

With marriages in Sinkland going South, daft sheeps can have more of such shows to make the 'holy union' go off the charts! LOL

6. Now bald contestant choosing between 2 princesses.

The bald contestant rejected both gals who left their lights on, even after they did a catwalk for him!
One of them was even the one he chose initially, before all the presentations and introductions.
Guess he could tell that she would be a princess, while he wanted to be the king. Agreed by the host and the 2 commentators that it was the right decision.......................

Now contestant is a super tall guy, above 2 metres..................

The concept of matrimony is a Western construct that is incompatible with the Sinkie "Asian value" of self-reliance/selfishness. The SPG asks, "why should I give up my career and abundant supply of white cocks to stay home and take care of the family?"

Do u mean newer ones are more controversial?

Just happened to be watching this on channel U after the wimbledon ladies' singles semis both ended early.
Found it quite interesting, not so much for the chiobus, but how they decide to select or not select the guy and same for the guy when selecting the gal.

I mean the 1st 10 episode, got 1 guy say he's romantic would love to cycle his gf watch sunset, one 拜金女 said :"I prefer my boyfriend to fetch me with a sports car" and they quarrelled on the set, the 2 botaks also had the debate with the gal, and she becomes an instance celebrity.

Another case is a wealthy guy, damn snobbish, the gal he wanted dun want him in the 1st stage, he decide to reject the rest, audiences stunned

I didn't watch those episodes, didn't realise u were a fan of this program hehe.........................
It's interesting to watch for the mindsets of the women and the male contestants.
Not necessarily just relating to prcs, could just as easily apply to sinkies.

I don't see it as an embarrassment at all. It's just a tv program for entertainment.
On other days of the week, there are programs from Taiwan, Korea, HK, etc on the same channel.
Making the prcs feel at home is an entirely different issue, it could arise if there is injustice committed by a prc against a sinkie and no or little action is taken against the prc. That's when we need to speak up, not when they show tv programs from that country for entertainment.

If you are thinking of marrying a PRC, just one rule to remember, avoid Shanghai and big city girls like a plague. They think and behave like princesses. My friend quarreling with his Shanghai wife everyday over money despite buying a flat in Shanghai. All her friends are divorced. If you cannot stand sinkie bitches or tracies that talk to other men in leongsam, get yourself a village girl as their expectations not sky high and just glad they got out from a hell-hole.

If you happen to know Shanghai PRC men at the workplace who've married Shanghai woman, they are the most pussy whipped wimps in the world.

Perhaps the imbalanced gender ratio (Men outnumber women by a LOT) in China has something to do with it. Women call the shots and are extremely picky when selecting a mate. And if she picks you, the constant comparing of you to other men will continue even after marriage.

You must be talking about 非诚勿扰。 This is show is so popular in china that the CCP has it under its watch list! It actually shows the current situation of modern china. Its not just a match making program but shows the thinking and behavior of a lot of PRCs. Some controversy that comes to mind is the famous. "I'll rather cry in a BMW then happily ride in a bicycle." The format has changed slightly with the introduction of the lady "teacher". In respond of not being as "realistic" as it can be before. I watch it on a regular basis using PPS. Don't have to wait for it on channel U.

Fei Cheng Wu Rao (simplified Chinese: 非诚勿扰; traditional Chinese: 非誠勿擾; literally "If not sincere then do not disturb", also known in English as If you are the One) is a Chinese dating game show hosted by Meng Fei. Based on the Australian game show Taken Out, the show is produced by Jiangsu Satellite Television (JSTV) and taped in Nanjing. It was first broadcast on January 15, 2010, and currently airs on weekend nights at 9:05 pm JSTV.

The show has been a rating success in China and is now the highest-rated show for Jiangsu TV. Episodes are also widely distributed online. The show has attracted attention from academics and foreign media. Due to the perceptions that the show promoted problematic values, its format was changed in 2011 to de-emphasize factors such as financial wealth.

History
Conception and Popularity

The idea of the show was brought to Jiangsu Television by veteran television producer Wang Peijie, who worked in collaboration with Columbia University-educated Xing Wenning.[2] The pair drew inspiration from a dating show in Britain called Taken Out. Wang said that that the show is a window into Chinese society at large, and that through it, "you can tell what China is thinking about and chasing after."[2] The show's focus was intended to be young professionals. While most of the contestants are in their twenties, there have been instances of male contestants as old as 48 appearing on the show.

Fei Cheng Wu Rao experienced great popularity in its first broadcast because of its unique approach to dating and light-hearted tone, as well as its sharp conversations. The show sought to 'stretch the limits' of what could be discussed on Chinese television.[2] Host Meng Fei became famous for comedic chemistry with others and having previously worked in various jobs in show business.
Controversy and revisions

In the first half of 2010, the show broke ratings records, with some 50 million watching every episode, an audience second only to the CCTV evening news broadcast Xinwen Lianbo.[2] In the initial format of the show, the contestants reported things such as their annual earnings, their material possessions, etc. During this phase several contestants earned notoriety and became internet sensations. Female contestant Ma Nuo became a media interest after her controversial remarks to a male contestant that she would "prefer to cry in a BMW" than laugh riding on the back of a bicycle.[3] One male contestant, a son of a businessman, was rejected by all 24 women on one episode for egregiously showing off his sports cars and bank statements instead of his life and interests. Both controversial contestants were some of the most-talked-about people in Chinese entertainment. In addition, concerns were raised that some of the contestants on the show were not who they said they were, and that the TV station was 'planting' contestants to make controversial remarks to increase ratings.

Chinese authorities looked upon the show unfavourably, asserting that it was spreading the 'wrong values'. State media editorialized against the show on television, in print, and online.[4] Six months after the show first aired, officials from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television stepped in to regulate the show. From that point forward, Fei Cheng Wu Rao was to curb mentions of financial wealth and sex, and a third host was added: a party school psychology teacher named Huang Han, who was seen to 'balance' the show to make it more grounded and less controversial.[4] A wholesale replacement of the contestant pool with more tame individuals followed.[2] The revised program scrubbed contestant information such as bank account information and salaries etc. Also omitted is the 'final opinions' on a departing male contestant from the women; previously this part of the show was especially prone to pointed insults and ridicule. Moreover the original reel of the show must undergo heavy editing before airing.[2]

Despite the changed format, the show remains extremely popular.

ash, that's indeed the program's title.
definitely more interesting for the thinking and behaviour of prcs than the matchmaking part, what is also interesting is how many girls switch off their lights while the guy's friends and family are talking about him in the videos.........................................

 

[Ash007]

That is the last part for them to switch their lights off. If they don't it means they wanna go with the guy.

ash, that's indeed the program's title.
