All three of the potential dates had their names revealed before the questioning started as well, something that wasn't done on any version of TDG prior.During a part of the first season, in addition to asking the questions, the bachelor/bachelorette got to see all three contestants at the outset of the game (who all had headphones on so they couldn't hear what their potential date was saying about them), and would pick who they thought was the best looking of the bunch.
After making her choice, the bachelorette met the two unchosen bachelors before meeting the chosen one.
It was the forerunner for many imitators such as "Love Connection", MTV's "Singled Out" and numerous others.
But they all have the same influence: Chuck Barris, the creator of the one that started it all!
When the show returned, Jim would have her announce her choice.
After meeting the 2 boys she didn't select, she's meet her date at which point Jim would tell them where they were going for their dream date.
