Reminds me of the ElemiDate[1] app (not launched yet):
"ElimiDate is a fun and new approach to dating. We all know how girls like getting guys` attention, and how guys are ready to show off to be the only ones in the horizon. This is what ElimiDate is all about. A girl sets up the game and creates the first task, perhaps "Take a picture of your shoes". Then five guys join the game and compete against each other to make the best impression. After each round the girl elimidates the worst-performing guy. At the end of the game the girl has to make a final decision: whether elimidate or date the lucky winner and connect through a chat." [2]

Yeah, they came out of SW London halfway through 2012 if I'm thinking of the right group. There's a few different sites that seem to be converging around the same idea.
