[Laughter]
- I just want to make people find romance.
- You want to trap them in a car…
- I want to trap them in a car for a while with me.
- This is weird.
- Are you Nneka?
- Yeah.
- You think you just got into a cab, right?
- Yeah… is this not a cab?
- You just climbed into Backseat Blind Date .
- Interesting…
- I have set you up with a guy
and we'll get him and then we'll go on a date!
Are you down?
- Yeah, I mean, why not?
- All right, let's go!
- Such a mystery!
- How do you feel?
- Nervous!
- What could go wrong?
- Hi. - Hi.
- Nneka, meet Hugh.
- Hey.
[Laughter]
- Nice to meet you.
- You're both officially on Backseat Blind Date .
- Oh, cool!
- This is a first for me.
My first blind date and my first date in a car, so...
- I think that you're going to
get along well and hopefully hit it off.
- So much pressure!
- You'll have three chances to
win money by completing dating challenges.
At the end of our journey,
you can decide to take the money, continue the ride,
and put it towards a real date,
or you can split the pot and go your separate ways.
- What's your deal?
You have a lot of spare cash that's just lying around?
- I just want to make people find romance.
- That's admirable.
- OK, here we go!
- Oh, this is weird.
-Your first challenge, This or That,
is going to test your compatibility.
I'll give you two suggestions,
and you'll write your preference on your board.
Every winning pair will get you $5 for your date.
Are you ready?
- Yeah, sounds good! Don't cheat.
- Your first option is: chocolate or vanilla?
- There's only one right answer.
- Wow, OK. Maybe I like a spectrum of flavors.
- How long is it taking you to decide? I only gave you two options.
- I'm trying to be neat. I'm sorry.
- All right, show me your answers.
Chocolate! OK, you won $5!
- Perfect!
- You are a little bit compatible.
- Well, I feel like it took him a little too long to decide.
[Laughter]
- All right, your next set is: morning or night?
Reveal your answer.
- Morning and night.
You are not compatible on that one; you do not win $5.
- Well, sometimes opposites attract.
Like, I need to wake you up in the morning,
and you should, like, probably keep me up at night.
- Your next set is: roadtrip or redeye?
Let's see 'em.
Roadtrip, redeye. Ooh, you're not compatible again.
- Oh, my gosh, you want to drive?
What?
- Apparently, I'm, I'm the worst…
- I hate driving.
- The next set is: home-cooked or order in?
Reveal your answers.
- Order in, home-cocked.
- What? Who are you?!
- Apparently, someone who likes trips and cooking and...
- Who likes to drive at night...
- OK, at least we'll still have chocolate.
- Which, I mean, honestly, what more do you need?
- In that challenge, you have won $5 out of a possible $20.
I don't think that you're very compatible at this point…
- I mean, you set this up, girl.
What, what were you thinking?
- Hugh, how are you feeling?
- I'm having fun.
- Your next challenge is going
to test your physical compatibility.
It's called Backseat Ball,
and in between, you'll find two baskets
that you're going decide who's going to give and who's going to receive.
You'll have 30 seconds to shoot as many as possible,
and you get $2 for every single one that you make into the basket.
Are you ready?
- Ready.
- And... go. Oh!
She shoots, she scores!
Doing pretty good.
- Crushing it.
- She's got a good throw.
- Rim.
- Hugh, what do you think?
- I think this woman is good at throwing
small basketballs into a trashcan.
- Are you impressed?
- I am incredibly impressed
by this very specific activity.
Good.
She's bouncing them off of the,
like, side of the can to, like, show off.
- Shut up!
- Doing this one-handed. Ow!
[Laughter]
- You had enough time to showboat,
hit me in the face,
and still get more or less all of the basketballs.
- Nneka, you made 34 baskets,
for a total of $68...
- Woo-woo!
- … combined with your $5 from the earlier challenge,
for a total of $73 towards a date!
And, we're going to move into our final challenge.
This one's called Pile Up,
and it's going to test how well you work together.
I'm going to give you a trivia question,
and you have to work together to come up with the answer.
What are the three primary colors?
- ...
- It's ROY-G-BIV.
- No, that's—those are the colors of the rainbow.
- Exactly, right.
- The three primary colors are
- [Together] Red.
- Blue.
- They're these ones, right?
- No, green is a combination of blue and yellow.
- So, then it's yellow.
- It's yellow.
- Yeah! I'm confident in this answer.
- Let me see them. Red, yellow, blue. That is correct!
- Yes!
- You won $100 to put towards your pot,
bringing your total winnings to $173.
- That's good, that's good.
- And now, you can decide if you want to take that money,
continue the ride, and go on a real date,
or split the pot and go your separate ways.
You each have a paddle that says,
"Let's go" or "We're done,"
and you're going to make the decision.
- Cool!
- Cool, all right.
- Think about the time you've shared in the backseat.
One, two, three.
Woo!
- Yes! All right, I'm so glad you made a connection!
- Me, too!
- I'm so glad I set you up. I knew you would get along well!
- Cool.
[Laughter]
- So, I'm going to take you to a dessert shop. Let's go.
