Reception
Allison Davis wrote that the show "push[es] the boundaries of courtship and creatively expand[s] the list of activities you can do in the nude," but also criticized the show's pool scenes for being too revealing.[2] Emily Hewett described it as "the most awkward show on television."[3] A more negative review from Time described the show as a typical reality dating show "once you (and the contestants) get used to the nudity gimmick".[4]
