That, or the ones that play around the idea of finding true love like The Bachelor and For Love Or Money. So now, ntv7 will premier a reality show of a similar kind, Cornetto Love? Perhaps.

“We are not spoofing or copying TV3's Mencari Cinta,” said ntv7's brand management group general manager Janice Cheng, at the press conference of Cornetto Love? Perhaps recently.

beginning that people will compare Cornetto Love? Perhaps with other reality shows of its kind, like Joe Millionaire, Outback Jack and Mencari Cinta,” said Cheng.

And as far as the format goes, there isn't any. “At the very beginning, we wanted to eliminate one contestant each week, but as the show progressed, we found that we had to change the format here and there. “So, sometimes, we eliminate 2 guys at one go. However it goes, the show will have 10 episodes in total.

“We want the surprise element to always be there so viewers will be glued to ntv7 every Thursday at 8.30pm, because, as you know, in television, rating really does matter,” she said. Besides featuring three of Malaysia's most eligible bachelorettes, the show is also highlighting the bachelors, who are attractive in their own ways.

So for 10 weeks, the guys will have to overcome various love and dating-related challenges as well as to “pass” certain character and personality tests. As early as July this year, ntv7 embarked on a series of road shows calling out to local bachelors to participate in the audition.

Hundreds of men responded to the Call for Entry, held at Kolej Damansara Utama, Segi College, Sg. Wang Plaza, Berjaya Times Square, The Curve and One Utama while the auditions were held on July 29 and 30 at the Multipurpose Hall, Sri Pentas. Looking at the 15 who made the ntv7 cut, however, one would wonder why they join a reality show to find love, if it's love they're gunning after in the first place.

“I spoke for all the guys in the competition, and yes, we're really looking for love. I am already reaching 30, so I think it's about time I find the right woman. I'll do anything, even if it means joining a reality show to find her,” said Teoh. “I won't lie, (and I think the other guys will agree with me that) we are also in it for the fame. But to tell you the truth, if we didn't partake on reality shows like this, where else can we find three gorgeous girls like Hannah, Sheree and Joy to spend some time with?” added Jiggee. Opportunity for love, a little bit of fame. The guys also have other things that would drive them to impress the girls and end up the victor.

The male winner will also walk away with handsome prizes including a Mitsubishi L200 Auto, a Sony Erricsson K310i cell phone and a year's supply of Cornetto ice-cream. For the girls, one will also stand to win a Mitsubishi Lancer, a Sony Erricsson K310i cell phone and a year's supply of Cornetto ice-cream. Will it be a fairy-tale romance for each of them? Or are the guys just in it for the car, cell phone and the ice-cream? While they guys battles it out in their search of true love, we, the viewers can expect to see the best or the worst in men (and ladies too, for that matter).
