06.05.09 MY GOD, I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL

battleofthebods1

I’ve seen a lot of trashy reality TV, but “Battle of the Bods” on Fox Reality Channel might take the cake for being the most shallow, cattiest thing I’ve ever watched.  I mean, it won’t destroy people’s lives like “Temptation Island,” but… wow.  This is really the gold standard for garbage.

Essentially, a group of five girls have to rank themselves in order of attractiveness (various rounds have them rank themselves by face, an individual body part such as breasts or ass, and their entire look), and they win money if their rankings match up with the rankings given to them by a panel of three men.  At the end of the show, the men strip down and they reverse roles.  Along the way, the viewer is treated by the ugliest girl saying “No way am I five!” and the lone girl with natural breasts saying, “Those don’t even look real!”

Season 2 begins later this month.  You can watch full episodes from Season 1 at Hulu and Fancast.  After the jump, I’ve got the episode that I just watched in complete disbelief, a YouTube clip for people outside the U.S., and more pictures.  Hooray, lingerie makes for great TV!

Hmmm, for someone who should thank his lucky stars someone actually posts on this POS site, you sure are rude to the commentors.

Well, thank you for posting on this POS site, you most gracious gentleman.

I think I’m pretty nice to just about everyone here; I’ve certainly mellowed over the last two and a half years. However, I happen to find the typical “yes/no” comment to be judgmental without being clever. My comment was meant to be a humorous way of expressing that opinion without being uppity about the kind of comments I receive.

It’s the scotch.

And that middle dumper is about as nice as it gets.
I actually tried to watch this for about 30 seconds before Mrs. Palhose threatened immediate divorce without custody.
In other words, Hullo, Hulu!

I’m with Uff. We either write one or comment on blogs. I doubt that you are wallowing in mounds of muff. We’re lucky if women even talk to us. Now if you don’t mind, I need to get back to Carradining myself.

I know I am, for one.
Wait, did you mean of the human female variety?

Ok seriously, I have seen that very same concept on German TV, albeit as segment of a daily lifestyle show. How the fuck does it become its whole separate show in the US?

Oh well, at least rest easy that the Germans came up with it first.

I imagine Islamic fundamentalists will be less contemptuous of American pop culture now. Thank you, Fox Reality Channel, for winning the war on terror!

The presenter, Olivia Lee, has done some sharp stuff in the past. Unless this is a vehicle for her sarcasm then she might want to consider a new agent.
