Gameplay
This game show was a Candid Camera-type show that involved guest celebrities and unsuspecting laymen. These people were involved in a comedy situation, taped on location in Southern California using a hidden camera. The laymen of the particular situation were faced with two choices, one of which they needed to choose, that were somehow related to sex, marriage, or love. A celebrity panel voted upon which choice would have been the smartest, and the layman who picked that particular decision won merchandise prizes.
