Chain Reaction
Chain Reaction was hosted by Bill Cullen in 1980, but went off the air that same year. In 1986, it was revived as "The New Chain Reaction" in 1986 with host Geoff Edwards. It ran until 1991. Two teams of two players (two celebrities and two contestants) competed. Each team was composed of a giver and a guesser. The giver could give the letter in the next word of the chain to either his/her partner or opponent. A correct guess won the appropriate number of points for the round and retained control, while an incorrect guess passes control to the opponents. If you give a letter to your opponent and he/she doesn't get the word, you get to go again. In the first round, the first four words were worth 10 points each, while the last word was worth 20 points. In the second round, words were worth 20-30 points, and the third round 30-50 points. Also in later rounds, a cash word was in the chain worth $500 to the team who guessed it. The first team to reach 300 points won the game and advanced to the bonus round.

Naked Attraction
A dating show where a person has five choices of a potential date. The catch: the five choices are not only presented totally nude, including of their privates, and unadorned, but that they are presented in three different body segments - first from the abdomen down, second from the neck down, and third of the entire body and face - with one of the potential dates eliminated by the chooser at the end of each stage until one person remains. Beyond the body and face being revealed in that latter visual stage, the potential dates are then allowed to speak. And what's good for the goose is also good for the gander as when there are only two potential dates left standing, the person choosing also strips down to their birthday suit to let the two potential dates see what they may be getting.
