So what makes this dating show different from all the others? For starters, it's going to be a lot like "The Voice," USA Today reports. It features groups of four male celebrities in spinning chairs sizing up potential dates -- without seeing them first. The chairs include "love handles" that, when pulled, signal interest in a "fantasy date." If more than one celeb pulls the lever, they must compete for the woman; in a second speed-dating round, the woman must convince the celeb to date her.
"They will go on the date, but the date is relatively insignificant" to the show, says Fox reality TV boss Mike Darnell. "It's really about the picking and elimination." Darnell says the celebs -- whose names have yet to be revealed -- are "famous, successful, very attractive and single."
The show kicks off June 7, Thursdays at 9 ET/PT. In the meantime, click through our slideshow and let us know: What's the best dating show ever?

THE DATING GAME
Flavor of Love and Rock of Love with Bret Michaels are the most crappy shows on this list.
The other shows are somewhat crappy but not as crappy as Flavor of Love and Rock of Love with Bret Michaels.
