This is a shameless, all kinds of wrong send-up of the trashy dating "game show" Baggage, which airs on GSN in the USA and stars Jerry Springer.

For those unfamiliar with the formula:

One bachelor must select from three hopeful bachelorettes who each have baggage no sane person would admit to anyone, let alone air on national television. The bachelor must wade through the increasingly horrific personal baggage, and at the end of the show, must choose the one of the three whose baggage is the least run-and-scream-worthy. However, the bachelor himself ALSO has a big piece of baggage, which is revealed at the very end, allowing the girl he's chosen to opt out of the date if his baggage is just too much.

Rarity decides to use the Spring Fling to promote her business by running against Sunset Shimmer. She couldn't have anticipated the horrible things that would follow...
