When looking for love, people may go to some extreme lengths. They might go on blind dates set up by family and friends. They might write personal ads to place in newspapers. Or they might use a computer to help them in their search for a soul mate by joining an online dating service. Some people have even tried to find their perfect match through game shows on television. Many of these TV dating shows, including The Bachelor and Who Wants to Marry a Multimillionaire"? have proved to be ratings blockbusters, with millions of viewers watching each week to find out which of the contestants will find true love.
Of all these game shows, perhaps the one with the most unexpected ending was Mr. Right, which was shown in England in 2002. On the show, a bachelor, thirty-five-year-old Lance Gerrard-Wright, dated fifteen women to find the one who was his ideal partner. The host of the show was Ul-rika Jonsson, an English celebrity originally from Sweden. For seven weeks on the show, Gerrard-Wright took turns going on dates with each of the women, taking them to expensive restaurants and exotic locations. He even met the women’s families and introduced them to his own. Then at the end of each episode, he would choose between one and three of the contestants with whom he had felt the least compatible, and say goodbye to them.
At one point during the series, one contestant volunteered to leave because she said she didn’t find him attractive. After two dates she said she had had enough, and she couldn’t see it working, " He wasn’t my cup of tea. " In another episode the woman he was on a date with burst into tears when he called her by another contestant’s name. " You called me by another girl’s name. I can’t believe you did that. I really liked you," she sobbed.
But in the final episode, the woman he eventually chose decided she didn’t want to marry him after all. " I think you’ve chosen me because you have to choose someone," she said. Maybe this was because she already knew he had fallen in love with the show’s host!
After leaving the show, Gerrard-Wright and Jonsson were seen dining together and attending parties around London more and more often. Finally, on May 1 , 2003, Gerrard-Wright proposed to Jonsson on the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral. And she accepted his proposal right away, although it was a conditional acceptance. Jonsson has two children from previous relationships—an eight-year-old son, Cameron, and a two-year-old daughter, Bo. She had to make sure that they agreed to the marriage. Luckily, they did. Gerrard-Wright said, "In the end the show did work for me. I grabbed an opportunity to get a girlfriend and I did. Ulrika’s gorgeous. "
Ulrika accepted Lance’s proposal______that her children agreed to their marriage as well.
选项
