[edit] Synopsis
Studs follows a somewhat similar format to that of The Dating Game and Love Connection. Two men go on dates with three women; afterward, the men would have to match answers with the women regarding the date. Each correct answer would win the man a stuffed heart. At the end of each episode, each woman would decide which man they chose as a "stud" and wanted to go out with again. If the men could correctly guess which woman chose them, both received an all-expense paid date to a location of their choice. In the event that two couples chose correctly, the man with the most stuffed hearts won the date.
A few episodes featured variations on the usual theme, with individual shows having two women date three men, (this episode was alternatively titles "Studettes") women who went out with younger men, women who wanted to go out with millionaires, and men who went out with magazine centerfolds.
Although the show earned high ratings among young viewers and was fairly popular during its run, it was canceled to make room for the short-lived The Chevy Chase Show.[1]
[edit] Notable contestants
Ronald Goldman appeared as a contestant in 1991, two years before his infamous murder (along with Nicole Brown Simpson) in 1994 for which O.J. Simpson was found civilly liable, but not criminally guilty.[2]
Three daughters of Illinois Republican Congressman and Presidential Candidate Phil Crane appeared on the show in 1992.[3]
