Take Me Out was an Australian dating game show broadcast on the Seven Network from 3 September to 27 November 2018, hosted by Joel Creasey. The series, produced by Fremantle Australia, was filmed at Fox Studios Australia and comprised a single season containing eight episodes.
This program was based on the format of Taken Out, a dating game show created by FremantleMedia in 2008 and originally presented by James Kerley. The format achieved international acclaim, debuting in Denmark as Dagens Mand in 2008 and subsequently airing in the Netherlands in 2009 under the name "Take Me Out". Prominent versions have also been televised in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
In June 2019, the Seven Network confirmed the show's cancellation, announcing that Take Me Out would not be renewed for a second season.
Format
The premise centers on a single man attempting to win a date with one of thirty single women, each positioned beneath a white light equipped with a button. The man introduces himself through several stages, including pre-recorded videos detailing his background, showcasing talents such as dancing or playing music, or featuring endorsements from friends and family.
At any point, women may press their button to switch off their light if they are not interested, causing their section of the stage to illuminate red. After three rounds, if more than two women remain with their lights on, the man selects two finalists by turning off others' lights. He then poses one question before making his final choice by turning off another light. If only two women remain after the third round, he asks his question and chooses; if just one remains, he proceeds with that woman without questioning. Should all lights turn off before completing three rounds—a scenario known as a blackout—the man departs without securing a date.
