A GSN Game Show hosted by Jerry Springer, which is best described as The Dating Game meets Deal or No Deal.The show involves three potential suitors showing a contestant their "baggage" — personal traits that may be considered undesirable. After the contestant has eliminated all but one of the potential dates, they must then reveal their own baggage, and the potential date must decide whether they want to go through with it or basically say "no deal".Episodes can be seen on GSN's official YouTube channel.A British version hosted by Gok Wan was briefly aired by Channel 4, only lasting six episodes before being punted off onto sister channel E4 for the last two. | |

| Baggage / int_115b9907 | comment |
Starfish Language: Played for Laughs. During the "Hot Spot" question and answer segment that is part of the second round, where the two remaining contestants get a chance to explain their baggage, a contestant was asked to imitate a bird call to attract the dater. He did so, and she responded with one of her own. | |

Title Drop: Several times an episode, mostly in phrases where the word is used. "It's time to claim your baggage". "I'm sorry, but you have too much baggage." etc. | |

| Baggage / int_340575a7 | comment |
Girl on Girl Is Hot: One episode had a woman choosing among both male and female contestants. It came down to the female contestant and a male contestant, and the male contestant was eliminated. The female contestant accepted her baggage, and Jerry said, "Best episode ever." | |

| Baggage / int_35a858b3 | comment |
Cluster F-Bomb: One of the three women in one episode finds swearing endearing and had no trouble letting her mouth run like a sailor on TV. Then again, given what Jerry Springer is subjected to from the guests on his own show, he's probably heard worse. | |

Not What It Looks Like / I Can Explain: If a baggage has something very weird or gross, expect the person behind the baggage to use one or both of these tropes. Sometimes the baggage in question is not so bad once it's explained. | |

Minnesota Nice: Discussed, as, on one episode, the dater was a guy from Minnesota. Jerry asked if the guy was excited, and he said he was, although he didn't act like it. Jerry asked, "Is this how people from Minnesota show excitement?" | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: After picking out a guy, the contestant's baggage was "I beat up five of my boyfriends", and all the women in the audience immediately started cheering (somehow, we don't think anyone would've done that if the situation had been reversed). And the guy accepted her baggage, despite his misgivings. | |

There Are No Coincidences | |
| Baggage / int_d02a0c91 | comment |
There Are No Coincidences: A completely random subversion happened once during the start of the "Hot Spot" segment. A guy had in his bag that he has sex with his shirt onnote He had lost a lot of weight and felt self-conscious. The other contestant was questioning why he would do that, and the first guy randomly called him "Brutus Beefcake." One of the three possibilities, which ultimately was not her secret, in the dater's bag was, "I was arrested for stalking Hulk Hogan."note Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea and Ed "Brutus Beefcake" Leslie started their careers together in the late 1970s and have been best friends for decades. | |
