Naturally there was a little bit too much to uncover two weeks ago with comedians Katy Frame, Tricia Bates and Blaze Mancillas. Tricia shares a story about her latest British Television obsession: Naked Attraction. A show that can't be found on your American flatscreen where a single man or woman gets to pick among 5 potentials to be her next date. The catch, is the dates are completely naked and will slowly be revealed from toe to head (grow up, not that one) and the contestant must one by one eliminate them based slowly on what part of their naked body they see. It's a silly and riveting discussion about sexy TV that might provoke you to question what is attractive.
