- [Button] Scott, what do you think of Leanne,
do you find her attractive?
- Yeah, I do.
- Oh, thank you.
- Do you?
I guess the question back towards you.
- I'm not physically attracted to you.
- [Narrator] Welcome to "The Button," a speed dating show.
When the button lights up red,
either player may press it
(button buzzing) and swap out their date
for a new person.
- [Button] Get outta here.
- [Narrator] If two people can last
on a date for 10 minutes,
they win an all expenses paid second date.
- [Button] This is "The Button."
- Hi. - Hi.
- I'm Isaiah
- Leanne, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you, Leanne.
Let me ask you a question.
Do you like...
- Do I like what?
- Honestly, I don't know.
I'm trying to think of a question.
- Okay, okay, can we take a minute?
Okay.
- [Button] Why are you two nervous?
- I don't know. - I don't know.
- Okay, I...
- [Button] Is it an attraction nervous?
- Could be. - I feel like, yeah.
Do you have any siblings?
- I don't, I'm the only child raised by a single mother.
So my bond with my mom is very close.
She's my best friend, my world.
That's honestly the type of love I'm looking for
is that motherly type of love.
- So you want another motherly type of love?
- Not another motherly type, but my mom loves me right.
- What are you looking for?
- I feel like so much of my life is changing
that I'm not really trying to get into something
super serious right now.
(button humming) (button buzzing)
- [Button] She got it first.
- Why'd you reject me?
- I'm not looking for the same thing as you.
- I respect that.
It was good talking to you.
- It was nice meeting you.
I know she's out there.
- Have a good day. - Yeah, you too.
Oh, I feel bad.
- So.
- What's your go-to karaoke song?
- "Take On Me," probably.
You?
- I like it, I like it, "Before He Cheats"
by Carrie Underwood.
- If I heard it I'd know it, but I have no,
I mean you wanna sing it?
- [Button] Sing it.
- Oh.
- Sorry, you're gonna hate me.
- Okay, lemme see, okay.
♪ I dug my key into the side of his ♪
♪ Pretty little souped-up four wheel drive ♪
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
- [Leanna] That's all you need to know.
- [Button] Josh, what'd you think?
- Oh no, it was good.
- Oh, okay.
- The fact that you were able to belt out like that
and know how 'cause I'm here, it's a little ugh,
but it's, no, you're good.
- Okay, oh, well thank you.
- So, what do you do?
- I love to read.
I've started this book club.
- Wow. (button humming)
(button buzzing)
Sorry.
- All right, it was nice to meet you.
- [Josh] Nice meeting you.
- [Button] Why did you eliminate Josh?
- Maybe if you sing to me a little bit.
Leanne, nice to meet you.
- Scott, nice to meet you. - Scott.
Well, how's your day going?
- It's pretty good.
Had a late night last night.
How about you?
- I want to delve more into this Saturday night
that you had.
- Went clubbing with my friends.
- Leanna, do you like to party?
- Me?
Oh, I like to party.
- [Button] Scott, what do you think of the Leanna?
Do you find you attractive?
- Yeah, I do.
- Oh, thank you.
- Do you?
I guess the question back towards you.
- I'm not physically attracted to you.
- That's fine. - Yeah.
- But I feel like I need to like get to know someone-
(button humming) (button buzzing)
- [Button] I think Scott touched me first.
- Nice meeting you.
- It was nice meeting you.
Good game. - What's your type?
I don't really have a type,
but the recent tendencies
of my dating habits have been Asian.
- [Button] Is Asian your racial preference?
- I don't think I have a racial preference,
but I think that's their racial preference towards me.
- Hi. - Hi.
- I'm Scott. - Zena.
- Zena. - So what do you do?
- I work in video games.
I make video games.
How about you?
- I'm actually a master esthetician.
- Okay, so.
- Skincare, lashes. - Yeah., yeah, yeah.
- And all that.
- [Button] What are some of your dealbreakers?
- How do you feel about God?
- God, I'm a lapsed Catholic.
- So you're just never going to church?
- When I'm with my family, when I'm with them, I go.
- You go. - Yeah.
(button humming) (button buzzing)
I'm sorry. (Zena laughing)
So do I leave or he leaves?
- [Crew Member] Oh, you you come with me.
- Me? - Yeah.
- Okay.
- [Button] Scott, why'd you press me?
- I don't get the questions about God.
I don't typically want that to be of importance
in my relationships.
- [Button] Do you believe in God?
(Scott groaning)
You couldn't ask me that question
if I'm a little bit more drunk.
- Okay, hi.
- Hi, my name's Scott.
- Ariel, nice to meet you.
- So are you looking for something long term
or what are you looking for now?
- At this point I am looking for something long term.
I just want actually someone to travel with
would be also pretty cool.
- Do you like to travel?
- I like to travel a lot.
I think traveling every month for the rest of the year.
- Oh, nice.
Where are you going?
- Pittsburgh next month and then month after
I'm going to LA and New York.
- [Button] Fun fact about Scott,
he's been held at gunpoint.
- Oh my God.
- [Scott] I have been held at gunpoint.
- Why? What happened?
- I was in Tokyo, me and my friends were drunk
and we went to a bar but they have a cover charge
of like $300 to just sit down and we didn't realize this,
we were broke college students and when we try to leave,
it was like a shady gang related run bar.
- Oh my God.
- And then they helped me hostage
so my friends can get money
but then they realized we're kind of dumb college students
and took whatever money we had and told us to leave.
- Oh my God.
I went to Tokyo for nine days
and I felt like it was one of the safest places
I've been as a female solo traveler so that's wild.
- It was in Kabukicho, which is the red light district.
- Okay.
(button humming) (button buzzing)
All right. - Okay.
- [Button] Why'd you pass me?
- I just wasn't feeling the spark, I guess,
since we sat down, honestly.
Nice to meet you, Ariel.
- Ariel, nice to meet you.
I'm Amir.
I like your style, by the way.
Are those pants?
What are those?
- Yes, well, black and white.
I don't know, I don't know if they're like flowers
or what they are.
- Why have you, 'cause I think you,
I came in, you were here so you hit the button.
Why did you hit the button?
- So the guy before you it was just a no
from walking in.
I could just tell he was judgemental
from when I was walking in.
I don't know.
He was like, "I'm flying off here and I live here."
And I was like, "What the fuck is this?"
I don't need to talk to someone, I don't know,
he was not up my alley personally.
- Right, right, right.
Do you see yourself staying in the Seattle area long term?
- I do.
- I'm leaving for sure, for sure.
I just don't know how and when.
(button humming) (button buzzing)
- Makes a lot of sense.
- Oh my God, it was great talking to you.
- Yeah, it was cool talking to you too.
Good luck. - Enjoy, take care.
- [Button] What your ideal woman?
- I certainly like someone who's creative.
- Hi. - How are you?
- Good, how are you?
I'm Amir.
- Cleo, nice to meet you.
- [Button] What are the two of you looking for
in a relationship?
- I'm honestly looking for like a deeper connection
with somebody, that and just traveling the world.
- Mmm. - Yeah.
Have you traveled?
- I have.
I just came back from Athens, Greece.
I've been to Japan, I've been to Rwanda.
- So you could see yourself traveling throughout the year?
- Yeah. - Not staying in one place.
- 100%.
That's kind of the MO at the moment.
That's what I'm looking to do.
- My last relationship was like a year ago.
I've done a lot of shit on my own
and I'm like I think this would be more fun
to share this with somebody now, you know?
- Yeah, are you a good planner?
- I'm kind of more like spontaneous.
- Respect.
- I thought you were about to hit the button.
I was like, "What?"
- No, no, that's a dap.
That's a dap.
No, 'cause I'm not a good planner at all.
(button humming)
What's the next trip?
- I really wanna go to Australia.
- Me too.
- [Button] Can you do this next part of the date
holding hands?
- Sure. - Both?
I feel like we're like about to pray.
- Yeah.
- Now that feels like a handshake.
Arm wrestle?
- Yeah, maybe, no.
- [Button] How about you put your hands on the table.
One palm over the other palm.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Wait, I wanna be on top.
- Is that power?
Is that power?
Is that control?
- I was talking more sexually.
- Ah, okay.
- [Button] Hmm.
(both laughing)
- What were we talking about?
- [Button] Talk more about sex.
(both laughing)
- Okay.
- Yeah, what do you like sexually?
- Eye contact's pretty cool.
- These eyes are dangerous too so.
(Cleo laughing)
- I'm trying to like circle back
to wherever the hell you were.
- Before we started talking about me on top.
Yes. - Yeah, I don't remember.
How old are you? - I'm 35.
- 35, okay, I'm 28.
- I'm old.
- You're not old. - Thank you.
- I'm sensing a connection.
Am I right?
- He was rubbing my hand with his thumb so...
- Was I?
- Yeah, you were going.
- Was I doing that? - You were.
- [Button] I'm gonna go one more time
and if you're not feeling it, press me.
(button humming) (both laughing)
It's a match!
Yay! (crew applauding)
(Cleo cheering)
(Amir clapping)
- We did it!
Now what?
- I don't know actually.
- Should we just go on a date?
- Yeah, should we just hang out?
- Fuck yeah, we'll be like, "Ha ha, bitches."
(all laughing)
We matched and you didn't!
