20 Cringy Contestants From MTV's Classic Dating Show 'Next'

The early 2000's were a breeding ground for cheesy and outrageous dating shows. MTV made some of their most iconic reality shows during this time such as 'Next,' 'Parental Control,' and 'Room Raiders.' One of the most popular shows was 'Next,' a dating show where contestants waited on a coach bus before seeing who they were about to go on a date with. Five eccentric contestants gathered on a bus and shared their wildest and sometimes problematic attributes and summed them up into three bullet points. This accounted for their whole personality. The second they got off the 'Next Bus' they were judged by the dater. They were either given a chance to go on a date or immediately rejected and heard, 'NEXT!' before being forced back onto the bus. We can't believe this was allowed. We especially can't believe the things contestants said about themselves in order to stand out. Keep reading for blast from the past laughs.
