The Secret to Great Reality TV
Did you know it is possible to shed 20 lbs in 24 hours? I didn’t either, until I saw my new favorite show in the world: The Ultimate Fighter. Let me explain –- it has what every good reality TV show really needs:
1. Confessionals: Because guys that want to be in the UFC must have brilliant things to say in their TV journals.
2. Competition among already easily agitated people: Because cage matches attract inner, reflective people.
3. A small living environment: A caged octagon [an eight cornered ring – even though a ring is circular and has no corners].
4.Physical challenges that includes Mixed Martial Arts, Kickboxing, Brazilian jujitsu, Submission Wrestling, and Boxing.
5. An elegant dismissal ritual, which includes two 5-minute rounds in which the winner is declared through knockout or submission.
6. And did I mention blood and vicious beatings.
But back to the point, a man can shed 20 lbs in 24 hours -- it’s called cutting weight and it pertains to water weight. This competitor was weighed in and was declared “too heavy” so he went into a sauna with a plastic suit [that made him sweat even more] as he rode a bicycle. He shed 20 lbs and then had to compete in a fight, in which he knocked the shit out of some crazed hillbilly.
But the epiphany -- if there were no blood and the men weren’t being revived with smelling salts and carried off in stretchers, this would all look pretty gay.
