With Goodwin and Nicole as the two survivors, elimiDATE’s coverage consisted of more dance footage and focused on the rivalry between the two women.

The final scenes showed a face-off between the two—again centered around Goodwin’s Harvard status—and the contestant’s final reflections on the evening, which ended with Craig choosing Nicole over Goodwin.

The filming lasted over nine hours, Goodwin said, and she admitted to being a little nervous before the show aired.

ElimiDATE’s opening credits show a slew of scantily-clad twenty-somethings in a mix of bars, night clubs and hot tubs.

The show’s date formula includes a dinner where each suitor tries to outdo the others, drinks at a local hot-spot bar and dancing at a crowded night club.

As in many other reality-based television programs, as the date progresses the audience gets a peek into the contestants’ thoughts and reactions with the show’s “video diary,” usually consisting of name-calling and gossiping among the contestants.

Before ever watching the show, Goodwin decided to audition at the encouragement of her friends.

“I did it just for the chance of being on TV,” Goodwin said.
