And, in true TiVo style, daters will use "Thumbs Up" and "Thumbs Down" stickers on their cards to rate their potential mates. Unfortunately, they cannot fast forward the boring candidates. To get an invite to the event, you have to take the matchmaker quiz (and be in San Francisco by Monday).

Let's say you're on a blind date where your date tells you what shows he/she watches. What shows would make you never call him/her again? I'd run from anyone who watches Dr. Phil.
