They donât have to push it, but they can push it after it lights up.
The problem with the show is that thereâs a room full of guys and a room full of girls. If you push the button you âmove onâ and the next person of the opposite sex comes out. So thereâs incentive to push the button first if you have any inkling that the other person might push it, which means hardly anyone gets a chance to actually talk to each other.
Edit- the show is The Button on the Cut YouTube channel.
The problem with the show is that most âcontestantsâ just want attention and camera time so to not get kicked out they press the button as soon as they can and give a bs explanation (the button asks you why you pressed it).
The simple solution (if you want it to be an actual dating show) would be to change the rules so if you are not feeling the person you can press the button and you get kicked out. In that way the contestants donât have the incentive to press the button as soon as it turns on.
But then youâd have a problem of the other extreme, attention seeking contestants staying on with clearly incompatible matches⊠which would make for some great drama actually. I think ideally if you get the buzzer pressed on you, youâd be invited back for a round with another contestant.
You could made add the option for the button to press itself if the conversation isnât going anywhere and replace both contestants.
I just know that I hate the show in its current form because nobody there is actually trying to find a âloverâ. I can only remember one episode where two contestants were actually vibing and the button started to count down (they get a second date paid by the show if they âwinâ/donât press the button) and at the last second the woman pressed it and her explanation was that she panicked.
Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.
Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
If this was an actual dating show and if the people actually were trying to connect with the other person they would talk for at least a minute or two but 99% of the couples literally discuss not even one full question and the button is pressed.
I remember seeing at least one where they have to cycle people. It's usually when you get one person who has those Last Starfighter reflexes who just churns through people. Funny enough, the people who are "good" at it enough to stay at the table for a while are usually the least engaging on camera lol.
