Let me get this straight, there is going to be a new TV show that lets guys pick between a date with a hot chick or a hot gadget? You’d have to be a hardcore geek to pick a high-def TV over a chick but then again, when is the last time your 60” HDTV nagged you about dishes?

The threesome will go on a date, and at the end, the guy will choose one girl to be his solo companion for the evening. After a few hours together, he must decide if he is going to enjoy an awkward exciting weekend getaway with the stranger, or give her up and leave with some potentially cool gear.

I could see myself picking a sweet gadget over a chick. I can get a chick for free just about anywhere. Not so easy to walk off with that 60" plasma for free though.
 
A date with a hot chick or owning a hot gadget? Not a tough call if you ask me. Dates have no resale value!

The down side is you do not know what the gadget is until you pick it, so...I would go with the girl.
 
This is awesome. I'd totally do it and probably end up with the gadget, mostly because most hot girls are dumb as bricks.
 
Psht, goodie!
What % of people get married after a date? what percent of people even have a relationship after a date? Gimmie the tech goodie!
Especially since I am married and would face the death penalty when I got home if I chose the date.
 
I am really shocked at how many are saying gadget, I can understand if you are married or already in a relationship.
 
I think this is proof positive that the TV people have officially run out of decent ideas for shows. Yawn Factor 10 Mr. Sulu.
 
pfff, you'd have to be a total nerd NOT to pick the gadget. There are hot chicks everywhere, all you have to do is talk to them. On the flip side, I never see people giving away truly free stuff.
 
Plus a TV won't leave you with a "gift" that will last a lifetime ROFL.

still cheaper to get a hooker.

id take the TV in a heartbeat. A date usually ends up costing me money and most dont turn into long term relationships anyways.

Why? I'm sorry but picking some unknown girl for a date doesn't sound very fun at all. Chances are we're going to have nothing of interest to talk about. Not to mention the chances of getting anything good out of it (*cough* sex *cough*) are basically none. On the other hand a neat gadget means 1.) It's a gadget! 2.) It can be sold if I don't care for it. 3.) I don't have to talk to it. Not to mention getting a girl for the night is incredibly easy, I agree with someone's statement; you'd have to be the nerd NOT to pick the gadget.
 
Gadget for the win, under any conditions.

It's a whole lot easier to get a hottie worked up and bothered sitting in front of that 60" Plasma watching Desperate Housewives or whatever.

Then it's potentially MULTIPLE dates with a Hottie! Of course, that's hypothetical, as I've GOT a hottie.

Of course, as a married man, I'd be using it to watch Football... or Sponge Bob (got an 8 year old).
 
Hard choice. If you pick the gadget, you're seen as a nerd with no life, but if you pick the girl, you're seen as a desperate nerd.

How about I don't play at all?

Becuase a date doesn't mean you'll score.

Lets see, dinnier with a pretty woman or some cool gadget? That's a no brainer unless the guy's some basement living, mom still does his laundry Trek dork with a "I Roll Twenties" t-shirt collection. In which case he'd be advised to take the date since it's the only time in his life it'll ever happen.

Then you'll be known as the moron who declined a free 60' plasma.
 
I could definitely pick the gadget over a "date". I mean a "Date" only gives once (and that's a maybe), a gadget keeps on giving!
 
After a little critical thinking, it's not a tough choice. The gadget has more value. There is no practical way that anything would come to fruition from the date. Someone you don't know who you are basically forced into a date with isn't exactly the start of a great relationship. At least with the gadget I know that I'll have something I can use or sell. That's a guaranteed win.

 
Definitely the gadget, unless I knew for sure that me and my date would really hit it off an be a good match, which is impossible to know. So, gadget.
 
Adding to this "common sence" nerd fest and picking the mysterious gadget.
Hell even if I were to get a blender, I would be happy.
Or maybe a universal remote?
 
I need to see what kind of gadgets they have on the show before I'd be able to make the choice. If we are talking about a 72" LCD TV or a hot chick I'm going to pick the TV.
 
If the gadget is a 60" plasma, you could sell it and fly to Amsterdam and hit up a hottie in the Red Light district, then kick back at the internet "cafe" with a blunt.

I vote gadget.
 
Most women on reality shows on go on to get famous.

The "bachelor" type shows prove this, it always ends up in break up within the first couple hours after the show is done.

I would go gadget, cause it won't break my heart.
 
Playing devil's advocate...

...let's assume, for a moment, that the producers of this show aren't idiots and putting a $4000+ 'gadget' up against a moderately hot chick + maybe ~$1000 weekend outing.

Let's presume the values of the two items are equal. And remember, you get the 'date' either way. Guy gets 3 ladies to chose from, and goes out with 2 on a date. After date, gets to decide if he wants some undefined and unvalued 'gadget' or a weekend with one of the women of his choice.

To match that (in value), the 'weekend getaway' would likely be one of those 'adventure' things. Weekend hiking or kayaking, several nice meals, decent hotel accommodations...with someone attractive of the opposite sex that you did pick out of 3 choices...and you don't have to pay for any of it? Maybe a few nights on the town in a popular metro area? etc?

Assuming no physical interaction (and for a whole weekend, that IS an assumption unless you are a toolbox), the producers would likely value the 'weekend package' against whatever the gadget was, chick excepted. You just get her company as an extra. (And maybe more - again, presuming some halfway competent social skills)

I dunno. It's a compelling question. A 60" plasma TV vs a DATE with a chick? Hell no, unless (!maybe!) it's Rachel Weisz or something. But a whole weekend paid-for? That's a tougher argument.
 
This isn't even a tough decision.

Hot women are a dime a dozen.

Hot gadgets at the very minimum I can sell it at the end of the night and not get thrown in jail. :)
