VH1′s Fat People Reality Show
07.27.10
Pretend VH1 wanted to make its own version of “The Biggest Loser” produced by the same people responsible for “Rock of Love.” Now stop pretending, because the dream is real. The video below is the trailer for “Money Hungry,” in which ten teams of fat people each pony up $10,000 of their own money for a shot at the entire $100K pot. All they have to do is lose the most blubber off their grotesque, neglected, diabetes-ridden ham receptacles. Hosted by Rock-N-Jock legend Dan Cortese!
In all honesty, this looks 800% more entertaining than “Biggest Loser.” NBC runs that show for two hours every week, and a solid 40 minutes of it is the numbers going up and down on the scale. GODDAMMIT, IT’S AN ELECTRONIC SCALE! IT SHOULD DISPLAY THE NUMBER IMMEDIATELY!
VH1, by contrast, seems more interested in giving its bumbling whales a houseful of booze and IKEA furniture. Now THAT’S entertainment!

How is Terrence Cody going to do this show and attend training camp?
Their sponsor is ZOOPED. Is that like a Rascal for elephants?
Fuckin’ scales? How do they work?
Most electronic scales don’t show the number immediately. Plus, contestants don’t even step onto a real scale in these shows since their weight is determined off screen. Look at this guy, not knowing about scales and shit.
Hahahaha Cor-Tay-ZEE!!!
I did a little research and found this video of an obnoxious yet hot news anchor calling him out on it.

Cor-Tay-ZEE?? It’s been Cor-Tez since 93, can’t be changing it now Dan.
“Hey Fatty, I’ve got a movie for ya, ‘A Fridge Too Far’”.
*When in doubt of having something clever to write, always go with a Simpson’s quote.
And no Fat Cat photoshop?
I recall pro poker player Jean-Robert Bellande discussing this show ahwile ago at a poker table and how he was about to film it and he was half the size of some of these beef boulders.
Would definitely watch just to see them making stew in the hot tub, breaking furniture and mistakenly eating the ham-mock
I still like WWTDD author Brendon’s idea of “Hungry for Love” – a dating show for fat people where they have to choose between true love – or delicious meals.
I keep wanting to pitch a show where fat people get a spot on the US Olympic Team. i call it “The Biggest Luger.”
Ten teams of fat people? The UFL will do anything for exposure.
Black dudes swimming? Now I’ve seen everything!
UU I’d watch that show, also wouldnt mind watching a big brother type deal but with a buncha people from Intervention but them as they were before they got forced to stop having fun.
$100K can buy a lot of twinkies and pork rinds. I’m waiting for a show with a bunch of anorexics trying to gain the most weight.
I dunno, seems like kind of a mimbo.
