Ochocinco’s The Ultimate Catch: The Ultimate Dating Reality Show

Ochocinco’s dating reality show aired last night on VH1, staying true to the network’s mold of the genre. From Flavor of Love to I Love New York, the shows are all almost identical except for the main characters, the houses they stay in, and maybe some of the competitions these “hopefuls” compete in to win the heart of a celebrity.

Ochocinco’s The Ultimate Catch started off with a 90-minute long episode that started with 85 girls running onto a football field and immediately getting to work on shaking their butts and smiling. Ochocinco’s buddy Bernard Berrian aka B Twice of the Minnesota Vikings was there to help him with the eliminations. Girls got kicked off right away, with Ochocinco going down the lines to whisper in their ear, “You’re cut Mama.” Which, he said made him classy, because to embarrass the girls by announcing it in front of everyone would be…not classy? I think any girl lowering herself to be picked out of a plethora of girls like a pair of sneakers in Foot Locker on national television deserves the embarrassment, however.

From there, the 60-some girls left had to go through an obstacle course that included running through tires, hugging a fake Ochocinco, catching a football, and performing an end-zone dance. Again, more butt shaking, and eliminating. It came down to 17 girls that got to go to the house that had only 16 beds. The obligatory getting drunk and mingling ensued, complete with an argument over who’s sleeping where. Later, Ochocinco joined the girls for dancing and more drinks along with Terrell Owens and B Twice. One girl was stupid enough to almost give Terrell Owens her number, except she thought the cameras were watching. That’s a huge reality dating show no-no, but not even that got her booted. A boring, girl-next-door girl named Cynthia got booted in typical Hollywood style. Stay tuned next week for some more of the same. Ochocinco is bound to find true love out of a cast of girls hand-picked by producers!
