Chad Ochocinco is a fascinating guy who did a very strange (and publicity-grabbing) thing by legally changing his last name from Johnson to what he thought was the Spanish translation of his NFL jersey number. How crazy! Who does that?! So now he's on every show, including his very own VH1 dating show Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch. The series premiered last night with a supersized episode, and while I genuinely do find Ochocinco to be pretty entertaining, this show is not even near the quality of VH1 trash to which I have become accustomed. I mean, not even the presence of the great T.O. could save this thing.
The main problem with show is its casting. The ladies vying for a brief, pretend relationship with Ochocinco and a spot on Charm School are a mere shadow of what Flavor of Love and Rock of Love brought to the world. The girls are actually pretty, most of them have a decent command of the English language, none of them are fall-down drunks (so far) and nobody even did a Herpes rap -- is this the new VH1 attitude? I don't watch For the Love of Ray J because the two episodes of it I caught were the most boring things I've ever seen in my life, but is this just what VH1 is like now? Filled with people only kind of embarrassing themselves and no cooter shots? I understand that the whole we-accidentally-cast-an-alleged-murderer thing was very embarrassing for the network last year, but this is not the answer!
Of course, it's not all a wash. That Jasmine girl had some pretty great sound bites ("You'da woke up with a face full of lipstick on your eyebrows" is a quality sentiment), but she's no Ashley or Farrah. And nobody even made any Bengal sex tiger jokes! Come on! This is not rocket science, here. These girls are amateurs, and though Jasmine is promising and that one girl whose hair got burnt off by a bottle rocket prior to filming will probably have some more funny moments until she's eliminated, I can't see myself watching any future episodes. The recent (and likely final) season of Rock of Love has probably ruined me for all other VH1 dating shows, but The Ultimate Catch is barely even trying to win me back.

This clown is te ultimate publicity whore - he would be worse than the Gosselins - except he's not exploiting kids (yet). He takes the prize though in the Fame Whore - Singles Division - between the stupid name change - Dancing with the (D List) Stars and now this idiocy. Can we just give him his tiara for winning this category and send him on his way? Please??? Pretty please???
And what is T.O. supposed to be? A Mentor? We're still 5 years away from his "T.O. Comes Out" - so aside from being a Black NFL playing Wide Receiver Fame Whore - what does he bring to the show?
Have you seen the 2010 nfl season schedule yet? It should be an interesting season this year. Do you have your pick to win the superbowl yet?
One way to achieve a sexy look is exotic Wholesale Handmade Handbags . of clothing, the exotic harem pants, a dress for the fashion-style embroidered Mandarin Asia, news articles, and much more into account. An exotic look creates a unique feeling sexy.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
