I had set my dvr to record that new Osbournes Reloaded show, only to find it had recorded some show about the history of baseball.

Then I found out that my local Fox affiliate is only one of the many stations that refuses to air it. That's so silly to me.

Naja, I saw it. Maybe we should start a thread? Sorry you don't get to see it.

Outrageous is an understatement. I was laughing out loud at some of it and shocked at other stuff.

MORE TO LOVE

Fox is developing a dating-competition series that casts "average-looking" people.

The series, titled More to Love, is billed as the first "dating show for the rest of us," throwing open its doors to overweight contestants.

"For six years it's been skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors, and that's not what the dating world looks like," Fox president of alternative Mike Darnell said. "Why don't real women - the women who watch these shows, for the most part - have a chance to find love too?"

Fox is developing the project with Mike Fleiss, the producer of ABC's The Bachelor. Indeed, the project has a similar format to Bachelor, where a group of woman compete for one man (producers describe him as a "Kevin James-type").

It marks the first time Darnell and Fleiss have teamed for a series in about nine years. The duo's previous dating show was the controversial, groundbreaking 2000 special Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire? which set the format template for Bachelor and a legion of imitators.

More to Love was inspired by the recent ratings success of Bachelor and the popularity of NBC's The Biggest Loser, which Darnell credits with shattering an industry assumption that TV viewers only wanted to watch highly attractive people.

"This show is going to get a lot of people talking," Darnell said. "It may be a little controversial, but I think it will mostly be positive. This is so simple and so obvious, yet it has never been done."

Broadcast reality-dating shows such as the CW's Beauty and the Geek and NBC's Average Joe have featured less-than-handsome men but paired them with model-esque women.

"Most of the country isn't a Size 2," Fleiss said. "It's the dating show for the rest of us."

Contestants will do the sort of activities seen on Bachelor, but producers suspect Jacuzzi or massage dates will take on a different perspective. More to Love will have makeover aspects - when contestants wear ballroom gowns, for instance - but Fleiss said the focus will not be on physical improvement.

"We want to send the message that you can be the size you are and still be lovable," he said. "We aren't going to thin these girls down so they can find love - that's a backwards message."

But Fleiss has left open the possibility of twists. More to Love is casting, and no airdate has been set. For Fox, it marks a return to the relationship genre years after the network aired such shows as Multi-Millionaire, My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance and The Littlest Groom.

I've also read that they are in talks with Dog Chapman to go on the show. And I heard that Geraldo is one of the cast as well.

I confess, I accidentally watched a Marathon of For the Love of Ray J (I was home sick and the TV was on VH1 - I kept waking up to bits and pieces of the show). Anyway, I think the finale was on and I missed it and wondered what happened. I will surf around this weekend and it will probably be on sometime but thought maybe someone else got caught up in this train wreck. LOL, I feel the same shame as when I watched flavor flav, LMAO. I think he didn't pick any of the girls since his Mom didn't like any of them. Does anyone know? TIA.

Dipo, I watched this trainwreck, Im a sucker for a train wreck..LOL.... He picked the gal called cocktail.... she was the hispanic gal. He let the gal with the tat on her face..'danger' go early on in the final cause he said she was unstable.... she left with out any problems but said she will be with him 'someday' for sure...lol...
He went to the parents home....
forgot her name (the one with the big blond hair) family was very tough on Ray J...he said that it reminded him of his own Mom....
The other gal, cocktail.... Her Mom could not speak any english but her Dad could....a lot of translating going on....
It seemed like they made her look a mess in the final, and like she would not get picked, but he picked her....cause he said he likes a party gal that excepts him for who he is.....yadda yadda.....
VH1 is on 24/7 on one of the TV's at my gym, so when im on the treadmill I pretty much catch everything at one time or another cause they replay them so much..
Hope this helps....
Ill admit.... I liked the crazy girl 'Danger'...But I knew she wasnt going to make it.... My daughter says she heard the girl was pregnant... "who knows".... rummer???

OMG, thanks Chewpito, at least you have an excuse for watching and are doing something good for yourself. These trainwreck shows really are hard to miss.

I thought Danger was "nuts" from the behavior I saw. She seemed nice enough but needs some serious therapy, LOL. I sort of thought he might be turned off to her when he found out she slept with one of his friends.

I would have been happy with Cocktail or Unique, so it seems he selected well. Wonder how long it will last.

Hmmm, wouldn't that be something if Danger was pregnant.

Chewpito, I believe I heard that Danger was pregnant w/ Ray's baby also. If I remember correctly it was on the Wendy Williams show and he would neither confirm or deny.

So I spent the past month or so expecting Dangerous to win the show.

Who the heck knows?

Yes Dipo, my excuse is the treadmill....but that dosent mean I dont watch this junk at home eather.... My Daughter is 23 and Im 53...but we love to banter about this crazy stuff.....I am sure I could fill my head with healthier stuff...."but I dont wanna"..LOL....
They really kinda made Cocktail look trashy in the final I thought...not that they were all saints....but I guess that was just to trick everyone into thinking he'd pick Unigue...
If Danger is Pregnant....well...she got somthing outa this show...a cash cow....lol...RayJ shoulda covered up...His Mom will be furious...
Oh brother.... good to know Im not the only one that partakes in this stuff....

Well, the actually announced only 7 of the 10 I'm a Celeb people- the other three (and the host, will be announced next week). I sense a possible Torrie/Heidi feud myself...

Did anyone catch the new show on TLC,"Guess Who's Coming Over?" ? It was truly one of the best shows I have watched in a long time.It may have been more meaningful to me,because I DO live in the South,where racism is everywhere.But it was a fantastic show that I hope keeps coming on.I really think it will be a family favorite in our home..

Re I'm a Celeb... Blago wanted on the show cuz he needs $$ to pay his legal bills, but the judge wouldn't let him out of the country.

Lori, I dont think its a new show as Ive watched it befor, it always seems to deal with intresting cituations....I saw the first half last night and thought it was very good, but I fell asleep and missed the end... Did it end well with everyone learning to get along and be more tolerant.... It is a good show...

Is anybody watching that Farrah Fawcett cancer show on NCB? "Farrah's Story"? It's so hard to watch. I wasn't going to watch it but here I am.

I watched it. I found it to be very emotional but also very uplifting. She has such an amazing attitude. My heart goes out to her family, especially her father, Ryan and her son.
