NEW YORK, NY (MAY 25, 2016) - VH1 turns up the heat as the network's provocative reality dating series "Dating Naked" returns for a third season on Wednesday June 29th at 9:00 PM ET/PT. Hosted by Rocsi Diaz, this season once again features two main daters, David and Natalie, as they search for love on a tropical island paradise. Shot on location in Bora Bora, the two explore the art of romance, free of preconceived notions, stereotypes - and clothes. Each week, two new men and women will strip down for a shot at igniting a spark with our primary daters - but in the end, only one can win their hearts. Over the course of 12 one-hour episodes the competition gets HOT as sexy new singles arrive on the island each week, vying for David and Natalie's affections. Produced by Lighthearted Entertainment and VH1, "Dating Naked" season 3 premieres Wednesday, June 29th at 9:00 PM ET/PT on VH1.

Meet The Cast:

David, 31 Primary Dater Atlanta, GA David was raised in a strict, yet dysfunctional family. His parents waited until he was in college to divorce, and he views this experience as an example of what not to do in a relationship. Recently single, his career as a consultant is taking off, and he's ready to find his life partner on the beach - and in the buff - in Bora Bora.

Natalie, 24 Primary Dater Milwaukee, WI Looks can be deceiving, and despite appearances, Natalie has suffered her fair share of hardships. Mauled by a dog at age two, she was teased for her scars as a child. Despite her parents' divorce and a difficult breakup, Natalie remains optimistic about love and hopes that when she strips away her clothes and emotional defenses, she'll meet the love of her life.
