About the Show

Excused is an American reality dating competition series created by David Garfinkle and Jay Renfroe for Renegade 83 Productions in which a group of men compete for the affections of two women (or the other way round) as they are systematically eliminated until one remains, who can then choose the partner he or she wishes to date.

The series premiered in the USA in syndication on 12 September, 2011.

Excused premiered in South Africa on DStv's Vuzu channel on Friday 30 November 2012, at 17h00. See "Seasons" below for seasonal broadcast dates and times.

Season 2 premiered on Vuzu on Tuesday 27 August 2013, at 20h30. New episodes broadcast in a double bill, weekly. There are 130 episodes in the second season.

Synopsis

Single men and women looking for love are either in-or-out when Excused, the reality dating show from CBS Television Distribution and the producers of the long-running hit series Blind Date.

Hosted by Iliza Shlesinger, the first female and youngest winner of Last Comic Standing, Excused, produced by Renegade 83, offers a fresh take on the dating scene, mining the comedy that traditionally comes with relationships.

In a television first, viewers have an opportunity to date contestants who appear on Excused by becoming a member of a social dating site where individuals share, meet and connect with interesting and like-minded people.

In each episode, contestants reveal information about themselves to their potential dates through their online profiles.

Each episode follows a new group of men competing for the affections of two women (or vice versa). Based on first impressions, online profiles and intimate dates, Shlesinger guides the pair of women as they systematically eliminate the group of men down to one.

The final man standing then has the opportunity to select the woman he wants to date. Ultimately, one final couple has the chance for love.

Filled with jaw-dropping pick-up lines, outrageous "expectations" and laugh-out-loud remarks, Excused is everything one wants in a dating show, with a side serving of rejection. Shlesinger adds colourful commentary, saying some honest things people only wish they could say out loud.
