Fox Television ordered a pilot for an unscripted dating game show called "Spellbound," which uses hypnosis in its attempts to bring couples together. "This is a dating show where the participants are willingly convinced to believe something other than the truth about the person they are meeting," said [Elizabeth] Murdoch, who is chief executive of Shine and the daughter of News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch.
In the pilot episode, three gorgeous women will vie for the attention of a man who is their perfect match personalitywise, but who is not all that attractive. The women don't realize this, though, because they've been hypnotized into thinking he's a sex idol. At the end of the show, the man has to break the spell and let the women see his true self. Ms. Murdoch said it is "cringe-worthy television, but fantastic, so you can't help but watch it."
Oh, and by the way, why is Frenchie Davis' bio back on the official American Idol site? If this is "the twist", color me thrilled. That said, it looks like she's moving on with her life, and anyway, Fox swears she's not coming back. And we can believe Fox, right?
