Senseless (game show)
dating game show on MTV UK
Senseless is a British television dating game show hosted by Tom Price which first aired on MTV UK on 12 June 2006.
On each episode a male or female contestant chooses a date from six potential candidates, ranging from the handsome to the foul. However she/he can only do this by touching and smelling them inside a dark room; the contestant does not see any of the dates until she/he eliminates the last one at the end of the show. At the end the contestant wins a date with somebody that could either be his/her dream partner or his/her worst nightmare.
Format
The contestant goes into a dark room where the six potential dates are waiting. By touching, smelling and tasting the six potential dates, the contestant eliminates each date one by one until one date remains. The viewers get to see the action via infra-red cameras in the dark room.
Challenges in selecting the least favourite date ranges from licking food off each of the date's bodies, sniffing various parts of the date's bodies e.g. belly button, toes, bum crack, being spanked or kissed by each date and deciding which date has the best nipples or penis.
The contestant must, in each round, eliminate one potential date until only one is left at the end.

Why this record matters
The phrase “dating game show on MTV UK” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7451014. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2006.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
