Wait, FOX actually has a show called The Fatchelor this summer?

FOXLeave it to FOX to do something like this. Mike Fleiss, the guy behind ABC's The Bachelor, will make another single guy dating show (this time starring a fat guy) called The Fatchelor. It's slated to air this summer but might be pushed to the fall.

Something tells me that a show titled The Fatchelorette would cause controversies and get various groups in an uproar, but having a fat guy in it is funny! Will he be the only fat one? Will the women all be hot and make this into sort of a reality show version of According To Jim or Still Standing? Wasn't there a prank reality show several years back that did something like this?

What other network show would you like to see get, um, bigger?


So You Think A Fat Guy Can Dance?
Big Fat Bang Theory
Desperate Fat Housewives
Real Fat Housewives of New Jersey
The Price Is Right (And Fat)
Are You Smarter Than A Fat Fifth Grader?
The Fat Mentalist
Lie To Me, Fat Guy
Fat Lost

Fattlestar Galactica? I have no idea what that would BE, but it's a funny name to type, anyway.

Fat America's Got Talent

and as a blast from the recent past, Fat Kid Nation.

For me, it's a tie between "So You Think a Fat Guy Can Dance?" and "Lie to Me, Fat Guy."

I don't think it's actually called The Fatchelor, unless things have changed. Isn't that show "More to Love"? I believe that author just stated at one point that he would hereby refer to it as "The Fatchelor". Variety being uncharacteristically humorous.

Humorous is relative...a local radio station did a bit called the Fatchelor back in the Fall of 2008 (for proof, look up wbcn fatchelor)
