Chad Ochocinco is not the "average" NFL player by any means. Aside from being one of the NFL's dominant receivers, he legally changed his last name TO Ochocinco so that he could wear it on his jersey, and was recently on the hit TV show “Dancing with the Stars.” Since we all need more Chad in our lives, we won't have to wait until Sunday to watch him. Chad is set to start his own reality dating show, which is entitled the "The Ultimate Catch." (Note: If you thought “The Ultimate Catch” was the name of a spinoff of “The Deadliest Catch”, you’re not alone)
After reading about the show,I noticed there is something special about this. Is it the fact that 85 women will be placed in a bracket for a single elimination tournament, NCAA style for the star wide receiver's heart?
Or will it be the fact that Chad is already trying way to hard to show his sensitive side?
One thing I want to know is how this show came to life. I can only wonder about it, but were some VH1 executives sitting around and decided to replicate the success of "Flavor of Love", adding in the craziness of "The TO Show", and one man stood up and proudly declared "I KNOW CHAD OCHOCINCO!"? I mean what other NFL player would you rather have on a reality dating show?
And before you say Big Ben please remember that this is on cable, not pay per view. Travis Henry, Kurt Warner (for an extreme wife makeover), Matt Lienart, and just to say it, Karl Malone all would be capable candidates from a comedy standpoint, none are as big right now as Ochocinco, thanks to his recent showing on Dancing With The Stars, and the fact he already was an NFL star before then.
I really want to write more about this, but I can no longer handle reading about this and knowing it's real. I think the show will be just as bad and have forced drama like all the other shows in the Flavor of Love, but once the NFL comes back into the spot light, I will get back on Ochocinco's bandwagon.
