This year, with a full docket of movie premiers slated for Spring of 2014, I can only imagine the dates we'll be treated to. It could be some sort of Interpol-themed spy-ring exposing date complete with disguises and intrigue in keeping with the Muppets Most Wanted release. It might be some sort of swashbuckling in short skirts adventure date to mirror the launch of what has to be the 87th straight-to-DVD venture in the Tinker Bell series (which has to be a record for a character who couldn't initially talk - eat your heart out Wile E. Coyote). It could even be a pioneering gender-bending date in which the girls must scale a wall of thorns and kiss Juan Pablo back into the world of the living to celebrate the upcoming launch of Maleficent. 
Because Disney owns ABC, in the past few years, we've been treated to a number of less than natural-seeming dates that were little more than thinly veiled commercials. With Emily, we got the Brave competition as the group traveled through the marshy lowlands and picturesque lochs of....Croatia. With Desiree it was the completely gratuitous cowboy competition that, for some reason paired with the Lone Ranger (well, perhaps not totally gratuitous - like many girls, when my husband proposed my immediate and admittedly rather cliched response was "Maybe...let me see you lasso").But I really, really hope that they go the Disneynature route instead, in celebration of the movie Bears. Because who doesn't want to spend 30 minutes watching the ladies try to teach lesson to the wild beasts? The show really has been historically short on maulings.
