How far would you go to win a date with the girl of your dreams? Would you volunteer as a human catapult? Brave filthy cesspits and terrifying electric fences? Encounter mind-reading wizards and engage in deadly water battles on desolate lakes?

If the answer to all of the above is yes, then maybe you should be checking into a psychiatric unit – or alternatively you might be interested in applying for E4’s newly-commissioned “high concept fantasy action game show for dating”, My Little Princess (not to be confused with a Disney film…)

Each episode of the show will feature eight eager male suitors – or ‘princes’ – hitching a ride to a fairy tale kingdom to win the heart of a single fair maiden. But the path to true love does not run smoothly, as each girl’s doting father – the King – stands in their way…

In order to win a date with daddy’s Little Princess, the young hopefuls must brave a series of “hair-raising” challenges to weed out the weak – leaving just two princes to face a grand finale.

After the bravery demonstrated thus far, what could possibly come between the candidates and their beloved? Isn’t it obvious?! A power ballad sing-off. Taking a leaf out of The X Factor’s book, the two remaining suitors will engage in battle as they pitt their dulcet tones against one another. Can they use their sweet melodies to melt the heart of their princess?

My Little Princess”My Little Princess is a truly out of this world entertaining and innovative format,” said Channel 4 Features Commissioning Editor, Kate Teckman. “It is what the fairy tale kingdom of E4 is all about.”

“This is the craziest and most dangerous dating show that has ever been produced,” added executive producer Gary Monaghan. “Imagine if Jackass made Blind Date dressed in fairy tale costumes and you might get the picture.

“We’ve got witches, wizards, evil jesters, human catapults, talking horses and boys being thrown off bridges into a lake for being rubbish.”

《超级减肥王》(The Biggest Loser)S14E09《Face Your Fears》

It’s “Face Your Fears” week, and the fear of leaving the ranch is the first one addressed when a “save your neighbor” challenge determines which contestant has to leave the ranch and go out on their own for the week – along with another player of their choice. One by one, with the help of trainers Bob, Jillian and Dolvett, each contestant is forced to face their fear – ranging from a fear of sharks to claustrophobia to a fear of singing in public. And they all face fear in a harrowing challenge off the top of a seven-story building that will reward the winner with the most coveted prize of all. Back at home, the kid participants are also facing their fears head on. Sunny’s very real fear of losing her Mom due to her mother’s weight prompts her to have a very difficult and emotional conversation, while Dolvett arranges for pre-diabetic Lindsay to face her fear of developing the disease by meeting someone with diabetes and learning about their daily challenges. On the lighter side, Biingo faces his fear of eating vegetables! Later, the weigh-in will reveal how the two players out on their own did this week, and will also determine who is leaving the ranch for good, leaving the final five contestants of the season.
