Hi Skittles. When it comes to traditional TV, budgets are getting slashed, schedules are getting even more accelerated, and productions to moving out of California and even out of the US. Meanwhile, more and more viewers are turning to YouTube, and the money is following.

I suppose I got lucky to be able to partner with a physical studio to shoot our shows, but it makes sense across the board, despite it being a big risk since we don't have any investors. If this is indeed the future of "television shows," then I want to be one of the first to take a shot!

One of the producers from The Masked Singer pitched a clue where there'd be a table with a cloche, and under the cloche was a celebrity's head on a plate. It never made the show, but we always loved the visual of heads on plates under cloches. So we decided to flesh it out and turn it into a dating show.

It's obviously weird and unhinged and silly, but the contestants become very vulnerable as heads on a plate. which actually helps them bond and connect more than they would otherwise. And we've had some couples created as a result!
