Saw this for the first time tonight and rather enjoyed it but agree that the hour format went way too quickly and we needed to see more of the dates.

I knew I recognized Marcus!! It's been bugging me from the first episode and it just hit me. He was on Survivor.

Eta: So Marcus, Joe, and Andrew talk a lot on twitter and seem to be friends. I wonder if they're the winners. Just one guy for each goes to Hawaii, right?

I have the cap of them giving a toast when they are in Hawaii. I'm not sure if it's Marcus that's there or if it's John.

“3” is a grown-up version of any show that has ever relied on a hot tub or alcohol or dignity-losing physical challenges to help contestants find a mate. It’s as though a dating show had a wake-up call, or a stern talking-to from a friend: Bikini-clad games of Twister can be fun, but that’s not how you’re going to meet your soul mate.

So, “3” officially becomes the polite, mature reality dating show with reasonable expectations. Everything is scaled back — there’s no house filled with inebriated singletons fighting like caged zoo animals going after the same piece of meat. Instead, “3” enlists a trio of stunning women who are tired of the dating scene, moves them into a luxurious — but tastefully decorated — mansion in Chicago and helpfully sends in a steady stream of attractive men to woo them. "

LOL-perfect description. I am enjoying this show!

Bummer...

CBS Pulls Dating Show '3' Off Schedule

The network pulls the plug after two low-rated episodes.

CBS has taken struggling dating show 3 off the schedule.

After two low-rated episodes, the network has pulled the plug on the series, which had its time-slot debut just two nights ago, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

CBS will air drama repeats at 9 p.m. Sundays beginning next week. Returning drama The Good Wife will assume the time period Sept. 30.

The writing was on the wall early on for 3, which centers on three women brought together in their search for love. 3 launched on Thursday, July 26 with a special preview episode to 2.4 million viewers and a 0.8 adults 18-49 rating before moving to its Sunday slot where it continued to falter (1.8 million, 0.5).

so we won't get to see the rest of it at all? :(

WTH???? I am soooo disapointed......nothing like watching the first two episodes and then nothing. I hope they do show all the episodes somewhere.....this show has so much potential.

well that's a bummer -- they should release it on youtube or hulu as a webseries or something! esp after all the work that went into it...
