Chains of Love is an American dating game show that aired for six episodes in April–May 2001 on United Paramount Network (UPN). Adapted from a Dutch television series, it involves a man or woman being chained to four members of the opposite sex over four days and nights. This person, identified as the "Picker", is given $10,000 and can remove three contestants one at a time. The Picker can give a portion of the money to each eliminated participant. When left with a single partner, the Picker can choose to either split the money or keep it. American television personality Madison Michele hosted each episode. Originally ordered by NBC, UPN produced it as part of its campaign to include more unscripted programming in its schedule to boost the network's ratings. Media outlets have identified Chains of Love as part of a renaissance in reality television. Critical feedback was mixed, with the show's premise dividing television critics. Its structure and tone were compared to other programs where contestants seek love partners, such as Blind Date and The Dating Game. Chains of Love has never been released on DVD or Blu-ray, or through online-streaming services.
