Tue, Nov 19, 2002 05:42 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - ABC wants to know if you're hot, and not in the turn-up-the-air-conditioning sort of way. The network is bringing the weirdly addictive qualities of web sites like hotornot.com to television in a new series from Mike Fleiss, mastermind of ratings smash "The Bachelor." The new show's let's-get-right-to-business title is "Are You Hot?," and it's dedicated to the noble pursuit of "scour[ing] the country in search of America's sexiest people." ABC has ordered six episodes, with a premiere set for sometime next year. "Great-looking participants and high-stakes eliminations are the hallmarks of memorable reality television," Fleiss says. "This should be fun." The search for contestants will begin in the next few weeks with the placement of ads that read "Do you think you're good looking?" Those who respond will be evaluated by the show's casting directors. Those who make the cut will be evaluated by a panel of snarky judges, a la "American Idol," and the 16 finalists will be flown to Los Angeles for a makeover and pageant-style competitions. Audience members will have a chance to vote online for their favorites. One male and one female winner will be chosen as Mr. and Ms. Hot. |

How tiresome that so much of what passes for our entertainment culture these days promotes sexual attraction/ money making ability period. Scares me as to what young girls think is important to aspire to ie Victoria Secret model. |
