More on-camera dating in 'Cupid'
Smarting from a judge's ruling that said ABC can go ahead with its celebrity knockoff of "Survivor," CBS is moving forward with its own dating show, which will resemble ABC's "Bachelor" shows.
In "Cupid," a single woman will travel across the country for a series of auditions in which men make a case to become her mate — similar to the process on "American Idol."
Ten finalists will be flown to Hollywood, where they will date the woman. Her friends will comment on the process, in front of a studio audience.
Nasty "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell is executive producer.
Women scorned find more ahead

"It worried me, after I found out about the premise of the show, whether I'd ever get a date again," said Amanda, a 28-year-old flight attendant from Arizona. "I hope nobody takes the show that seriously."
Amanda was one of 20 women who flew to France last fall believing they were going to meet a multimillionaire bachelor. Weeks after the show was taped, the women found out Evan Marriott was a construction worker.
People might not be taking it seriously, but millions are watching.
