Meet Cowell's 'Cupid' Girl
Wed, May 7, 2003 07:09 PM PDT
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Lisa Shannon has already passed muster with Simon Cowell, so the hard part for her may be over.
Shannon, a 25-year-old advertising copywriter from suburban Detroit, will star in "Cupid," a dating show set to premiere this summer on CBS. Cowell, the acerbic "American Idol" judge, is one of its executive producers.
The show will combine elements of "American Idol" with those of other dating shows on the air. During the first two episodes, Shannon and two of her friends will travel to Chicago, New York, Miami and Los Angeles "auditioning" potential suitors in a form of speed-dating.
Each guy will have 30 seconds to impress Shannon and her friends, and those who do will be invited back for another shot. Shannon will eventually select 10 men to date.
Once the finalists are chosen, she'll go on a series of dates with them. Her friends will continue to critique the suitors by watching tapes of each date, but the audience will choose who stays around. As on "Idol," viewer voting will determine which of the 10 guys goes home each week.
After the audience picks the final guy, there's a $1 million dowry at stake. If Shannon and the chosen man can stay together, they receive the money. Former MTV VJ Brian McFayden will host the show.
I think they should include a segment where Simon gets to critique the guys.
