"Room Raiders" is a dating/reality series on MTV.

Premise

On the show, three single men or women have their rooms inspected, or "raided" by another single man or woman (usually a member of the opposite sex, but some episodes are gay-themed). The raider does not meet or see any of the three singles (any personal photographs of the contestant are removed from the room or covered with a smiley face sticker) and chooses to go on a date with one of them based on the contents of their rooms. The three contestants watch and comment, while sitting in a van, as their rooms are inspected. After the raider has finished with each of the rooms, the three contestants then raid the raider's room. Finally, the raider confronts the three contestants and makes his or her choice.

Locations

The first episode was filmed at Tulane University, and featured Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey as aids to the contestants for promotion. The first seven seasons were "Room Raiders" (in the New York metropolitan area), "Room Raiders II", "Room Raiders: Miami", "Room Raiders: Hotlanta" (in the Atlanta area), "Room Raiders: California", "Room Raiders: Texas", and "Room Raiders: Florida". The current season is entitled "Room Raiders: Arizona". Starting with the Miami season, episodes were given themes such as Best Friends, Twins, Beauty and the Freaks, Double Trouble, Hidden Beauty, Boy Toy, Opposites Attract, Threes a Kind and celebrity guests.

tand-out episodes

In the second episode a female Michigan graduate picked from a panel of three men, but refused to select any of the three for a date. Her "Vanilla Ice" like outburst resulted in severe damage to the MTV set and the firing of fifteen high-level MTV executives.
