Imagine a TV game show based on online dating. Two people have met online and made a connection. They may think they have fallen in love. But they live far from one another, and long-distance dating is financially out of the question.

The first stages of the relationship were managed through the show’s website, so the producers have copies of everything these two have said to one another by email, text and voice.

One of the two has to identify the other from a set of four contestants, each of whom has had access to all the communications. They cannot see one another, and they have not exchanged photos. The one interviews the four, separately and together. The voices of the four are mechanically altered.

If the one guesses correctly, he/she gets an all-expense-paid month-long vacation to the destination of their choice.

If the one guesses wrong, the person chosen gets that vacation, and gets to choose a partner for it.
