When I was visiting in August, we stayed at the Wyndham Sugar Bay. Soon we realized there were NBC camera crews and people mic'd up everywhere. We found out they were filming a dating show on the island. Everywhere we went, there they were. The Beach Bar, big house in Peter Bay, Diving at Coki Beach, etc. They were all over the islands. Anyhow, I believe the show is supposed to run sometime in November with a name like "1st Date" or something. If anyone has more info please post. Might make for some good tv watching, for the beautiful backdrop of course.

I went to the attached website and how.........interesting, for lack of a better word.

the ONLY reason i'd watch this would be to see the backdrop of STJ.

any idea when it's supposed to be on air?

I'm not sure. Our scuba instructor was filmed giving a lesson with one of the couples on STT. The camera crew said sometime in November. They were filming at the Beach Bar on a day where they were having a funny contest between Woody's, Maho Bay employees etc. They walked through alot of the Wharfside Village stores, cameras rolling.
It was interesting though. Everyone was so hush-hush, we couldnt figure out for a while. They had a huge production crew staying at the Wyndham.
