Polygyny Dating Game?

Recently came across a YouTuber that hosts a balloon pop dating game. It's somewhat of a twist on blind speed dating. Potentials of one sex are lined up and given a balloon. Then the opposite sex is brought in one at a time. Questions are asked by either side, led by the host, and a Balloon pop means not interested.

The balloon can be popped at any time, and the last one standing matches up, or if none are left there is no match up. Each match up pulls one person out of the line up, reducing the pool for the next person. The host also does follows up on the matches later on.

I am curious if this would work as an alternative for dating apps. Think something similiar but with a biblical marriage twist. A line up of single and married men, or single ladies, with the qualified opposite sex being brought in to ask questions to the line up.

What do you think the participation rate would be, and do you think posting on the web the recorded event would be beneficial or detrimental? In my mind it is more personal then a dating site or chat, and anyone who doesn't match is broadcasting also to the viewers, of which their may be a potential. Perhaps brining the unmatched back on for a new line up of viewer potentials?

Here's the channel. It is interesting to see the dynamic and interactions.

Sounds fun but I suspect that the participation rate would be low.
The only legitimate plig site has low apparent numbers of women

My own notion is more along the lines of becoming an in person host for events when I get on some property and can build out the infrastructure for get together an a fair number of guests.

Try to arrange a group of men as well as a group of women with real world experience to get with those aspiring seekers and see who has realistic expectations and no overt on fire red flags and then see about some informal matchmaking.

Have people give low key talks about experiences, expectations and what one is potentially apt to get out of plyg-life as well as challenges etc.

Maybe some matches made or maybe just a nice few days cooking out and hanging around the fire pit telling lies...who knows
 
The point of publicizing the encounters would be to raise awareness and normalize the concept to hopefully bring in more particpants. The focus itself doesn't necessarily have to revolve around polygyny itself, it would just be an included aspect. The participants themselves don't need to desire polygyny, just have a basic understanding and desire for biblical marriage. Throw in some Bible based plig men in the line up and see what happens.

Would think the most practical way to do it would be on youtube or rumble etc.
Not sure how one would go about sourcing the participants or what sort of venue would work best beyond a church
