Reality TV show about virgins?

I stole this from the Ettiquette board.  I just don't even know what to say, other than... they look like they're trying to eat each other. O.o

    Holy crap that kiss was awkward......

    My cousin married his wife without ever kissing before. It was the most awkward thing EVER. Neither of them knew how. So they like awkwardly leaned in, totally missed, then a TINY peck. Oh gosh was it awkward.

    Right?  I just... I think having your first kiss in front of 100+ people is maybe the most awkward thing I can imagine.  Except... like... having sex for the first time in front of 100+ people.  That might beat the kiss.  I mean, it's fine if that's what floats your boat, but I was nervous enough when it was just me and the person I was kissing.

    That was the most awkward kiss ever. I don't really get why anyone would want to watch that show. I don't think being a virgin makes someone especially different from the rest of society.

    I agree that it was an incredibly awkward first kiss and definitely should have practiced at least once or twice. I can't imagine what their wedding night was like.

    Yeah, I don't think it does.  I'm waiting until marriage for sex, and I sure won't be eating my groom's face like that or doing any other things different from a bride who didn't wait.

    I do think that waiting until marriage for kissing is a little extreme, but as I said, whatever floats your boat.

    ETA: Truth!  I don't even want to think about their wedding night.

    BF and I are waiting too. But that doesn't make our lives interesting enough to be on T.V.

    Ha ha ha...if they didn't even know how to kiss (you can generally figure that out without trying it), I don't even want to know how ridiculously awkward their first time having sex was....

    OMG. I LoL'ed majorly! xD

    So.. BF and I just bought a teensy tiny baby parakeet.. and I gotta say, watching the little baby birds feed each other looked a LOT like that. A LOT.

    Found a video, and even these birds have it down better. =( Aww..

    My birds do that sometimes and it's SO gross. They'll connect their beaks and make a really weird noise. And junk will be flying out of their mouths. It's DISGUSTING. I really didn't know what they were doing.

    That looked thoroughly unpleasant. I hope they applied a liberal amount of chapstick afterward.

    That was awesome. And by awesome, I mean awesomely awkward. There's a reason most people have their first kiss at age 12-15... because it takes a couple times to master it.

    Plus, they skipped right past 'kissed' and went straight to making out. It's like a 5 month old saying 'screw crawling, I'm going for a jog.'
