Basis of Parental Control
Parents who are unhappy with their child's current boyfriend or girlfriend interview and select prospective partners who vie for the affections of their child.
Afterwards, their child goes on a date with the two selections that each parent chose. The child then has to decide whether to keep their current relationship, stay single, or chose one of the new prospects.
During each date, the parents and the current partner watch and comment as the date unfolds on television. When the dates are finished, the child selects their new partner from amongst the competitors and current partner. First, one of the three is picked to leave before the other two. Then the child chooses between the two remaining potential partners.
Usually, the current boyfriend/girlfriend is selected. In some occasions, the child chooses to stay single, and eliminates the current significant other and the dates that his or her parents orchestrated.
