Let's face it, dating shows can be entertaining. Sure, dating in real life is hard, and we can all share that sentiment, but, as with all reality shows, there's simply something undeniably enjoyable about watching people make complete fools of themselves on television. And when it comes to matters of the heart, you can be sure that people will always be at their craziest. 

In the race to be the most unique or different dating series though, some of these shows go above and beyond in their craziness, whether it's through the concept itself or in the people the producers have chosen to be apart of the cast.

In honor of the premiere of the new CBS dating competition 3, in which three women simultaneously date the same eligible bachelors to see who they've got the most chemistry with, we've compiled a list of The 15 Most Ridiculous Dating Shows. Trust us, there was no shortage of material from which to choose.
