Who thinks up these?
The Guardian has a click-bait feature called "Blind Date," in which two people go on a blind date then independently report back on how they liked the date and whether they plan to see the other person again.

Then you have, on Channel 4, a tv show called "Naked Attraction," in which a guest chooses which from among a half-dozen or so contestants he or she would like to date. The guest knows virtually nothing about these people--virtually nothing about their personalities, for example. The contestants' body parts are gradually revealed, starting at the feet, and the guest eliminates contestants as the reveal progresses until only one is left. They then go on a date (with their clothes on) and report back on how they liked it.

(For this one, I was going to try to answer my own question, so I looked at the credits on IMDb to see who was credited as the show's creator. I didn't find a creator, but I did notice a large number of psychologists! How many tv shows have psychologists?)
So the next evolutionary stage must be to have two people who've never met have a roll in the hay then independently report back on how it went and whether they plan to see the person again.

So it was only a matter of time before reigning queen of Twitter, Chrissy Teigen, discovered the Channel 4 programme and got in on the act. While flicking through the TV channels at a London hotel last night, she stumbled on the show and – luckily, for us – shared her priceless reaction with the world.

The show received a flood of complaints from viewers to broadcasting watchdog Ofcom due to the full frontal nudity that this show contains. However, Ofcom chose not to investigate as there was nothing that breached their rules and that the show was purely a dating show and does not contain sexual activity and was also shown after the watershed.
