SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA’S PECHANGA RESORT AND WINE COUNTRY PROVIDE ROMANTIC BACKDROP FOR FOX’S “TAKE ME OUT”

Posted by | Jun 13, 2012 | |

  June 15, 2012 –   Pechanga Resort, known for having one of the largest selections of games anywhere, hosts each one-on-one date from  the provocative and unpredictable new dating series TAKE ME OUT (Thursdays, 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT on FOX). Using Pechanga and nearby Southern California Wine Country as the TAKE ME OUT Resort seen on the show, each date incorporates an exciting activity and a romantic dinner or drinks in a picturesque setting. TAKE ME OUT, based on the hugely successful international format, is a fast-paced, dynamic new series featuring 30 single women (the “flirty 30”), searching for a match and several brave bachelors who must make the ultimate first impression. Hosted by George Lopez and filmed in front of a studio audience, TAKE ME OUT is comprised of four rounds, beginning with the “flirty 30” in search of a match made in heaven. Every week, the women are introduced to several bachelors one by one. Each woman stands at a lighted podium with a switch that controls her fate for a date: if she thinks it’s a match, she keeps her light on; if her attraction has been short-circuited, then it’s lights out and she waits for the next potential Mr. Right. “We never knew exactly what would film day-to-day,” explained Pechanga public relations manager Robert Bledsoe, who oversaw the production’s filming needs at the resort. “If all the girls turned their lights off, then the bachelor’s planned date would have to be cancelled. It certainly made for an exciting shoot.” In the episode that aired last night, June 14, the date featured a...
