Room Raiders is a dating/reality series on MTV.
Premise
On the show, three single men or women have their rooms inspected, or "raided" by another single man or woman (usually a member of the opposite sex, but some episodes are gay-themed). The raider does not meet or see any of the three singles (any personal photographs of the contestant are removed from the room or covered with a smiley face sticker) and chooses to go on a date with one of them based on the contents of their rooms. The three contestants watch and comment, while sitting in a van, as their rooms are inspected. After the raider has finished with each of the rooms, the three contestants then raid the raider's room. Finally, the raider confronts the three contestants and makes his or her choice.
