CBS has been trying to have a fucking-centric reality show for years and years without success. I think they scrapped Love Island, which aired several nights a week, for this based on a theme they could run with and a more manageable runtime for the sweeps season.

Like Inviso so perfectly (and sarcastically) put, it will get more viewers than their last attempt due to it airing during the fall as opposed to the summer, but it's still going to fail since it will have actual competition. Perhaps CBS is hoping this will be successful enough for a second season, after which it moves to Paramount Plus. That's something they didn't want to do with Love Island due to its number of episodes, but NBC took it from them anyway. They might have regretted that.

What gets me is that the early advertisements for Love Boat were so vague that I didn't even realize it was a reality show until the later ads aired, at which point I'd already deemed myself uninterested. They didn't need to film the show before they could tell people what it was. Much like with Love Island, I don't expect anybody here cares about this one. It's a good hour to spend playing a game or streaming a better show.
