In a political climate that causes more divisions than a fifth-grade math class, it’s comforting to know that one reality dating show wants to bring us together. A competitive Donald Trump-inspired dating show is in the works, with the goal of helping women and men find love under the 45th president of the United States.
“We are excited with the new development of making a show to showcase the polarity of the dating world with today’s divisiveness and see if people with opposing views can have a loving and meaningful relationship,” David Goss, CEO of the dating website TrumpSingles.com, told The Hollywood Reporter.
“I started TrumpSingles.com because of the divide in our country, and as this divide grows even further every day, we want to see if we can help bring people back together.”
Gross is working with the indie production company Boxx Communications to develop the show, which doesn’t yet have a title or network attached to it.
TrumpSingles.com launched last May by Goss, a Republican from Australia who says he’s not “terribly political in either direction,” but he’s “not in the Trump camp.” TrumpSingles.com now has 37,500 active users.
The Bachelor
Over on The Bachelor, where political views are less an issue than running out of wine, the ABC/Omni dating series airs its always-dramatic The Women Tell All episode. The women Nick Viall eliminated return to confront him — and each other.

“While the season’s been airing, I’ve been launching a business with me and two other business partners — very excited about that,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “Hopefully you’ll be seeing more of that in the very near future.”

Bellevue
CBC’s dark drama about small-town crime airs its third episode, in which a new riddle leads Annie (Anna Paquin), to question a revered town resident about Jesse’s disappearance. Also, Annie and Peter (Shawn Doyle), agree that she should keep her relationship going.
“Small towns do make for interesting drama,” Paquin told Postmedia News last month, comparing her role in Bellevue with her previous role in the vampire drama True Blood. “I’d like to think that Annie is considerably more savvy than Sookie ever was. I mean, that was a show based around somebody being the damsel in distress every episode.”
