Happy almost-Fourth of July! Are you ready to shed those clothes, head to the beach, and drink domestic beers like they grow on trees? Us too. But before you mentally check out for the day, let us give you one last WTF-inducing story to take with you to the long weekend. Let’s talk about a new VH1 show, called DATING NAKED, which is an “unscripted” dating show that is exactly what it sounds like:

Via VH1.com:

Filmed on a remote exotic locale, each close-ended episode will feature a man and a woman as they each date two different, naked suitors. At the end of the episode, the two romance seekers analyze what they’ve learned from their dates and themselves before deciding on whether or not to move forward with their prospective love matches. Once everyone has stripped away the artifices of our modern world and revealed their ultimate, honest selves, the results will be surprising. The hosted series will consist of 10 one-hour episodes that will be edited according to network standards.

We guess it was only a matter of time before this idea popped up in some VH1 executive’s head, since basically EVERY OTHER IDEA FOR A STUPID REALITY SHOW has been exhausted, but this one is sure to have its fair share of hilarious viral-video level moments. On the other hand, what’s so great about a naked dating show if it has to be censored? That’s like going to a movie but the plot climax is muted or going to a buffet and they get rid of the mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese.

Dating Naked premieres Thursday, July 17th… and we are… um… INTERESTED?

Head to VH1 for a preview of the super awkwardness. And happy Fourth of July!
