Australia, Prepare For Pash-Based Dating Show ‘Kiss Bang Love’


If there’s one thing Australia loves, it’s reality shows where credulous individuals are shoehorned into sham relationships and forced to kiss and/or furtively fondle each-other’s pink bits for our collective amusement.  
It worked with The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, it sure as shit worked with Married At First Sight, and we have a good feeling it’s going to work with the pash-based TV experiment that is Kiss Bang Love.
Described as a “provocative new dating format from the makers of Married At First Sight” – goddammit, we’re already rigid with anticipation – the show has recently been picked up by the good people at Seven.
The publicity blurb reads:
“Research shows that kissing is a powerful tool in our search for the right partner so in a radical new TV experiment, we put this to the test. Ten Aussie singles will be matched with 15 potential partners. Most are strangers. Some are acquaintances. Others may be former lovers.” 

“They’ll skip the awkward dates and try to kiss their way to love before deciding who to take on a romantic holiday. Will a pash lead to passion? Is one smitten after a smooch? Can a kiss from a stranger end in love?”
So essentially, we’re talking Perfect Match but instead of a fancy robot, it will feature desperate singles swapping saliva with their maybe-exes. Mark us down as KEEN
Kiss Bang Love premieres next year on Seven, which frankly is not soon enough. May its many pashes be even more romantic than Clare and Lachie‘s tender ‘kiss’ on Married At First Sight:
