So MTV and Axe are going to revive the show “Gamekillers”, an hour long special they broadcast in early 2006. It’s a show that features an unsuspecting guy who is on a date with a beautiful woman but is constantly being tharwted by ‘gamekillers’ - others who are either or indirectly trying to sabotage the date. Everyone, from the people interfering to the beautiful date are actors. The only one that isn’t is the unsuspecting guy.
So you may have a guy that fails to pass muster because he can’t overcome the obstacles or…you have a guy who does make his way around the obstacles and gets his name inscribed on something called the “Ancient Axe Gamekillers Chalice”.
I think not.
If I ask a woman out, the last thing I need is a team of saboteurs looking to screw me over. And to have the woman in the the whole thing to boot. They’d never do this and reverse genders.
But hey, that’s entertainment. Jerry Springer meets the dating game.

They should have called it “Cockblockers.”
