Many years ago, I had an idea for a show called “The Meal World.” It would be exactly like MTV’s “The Real World,” arguably the first reality show ever featuring 7 strangers picked to live in a house to have their lives taped to find out what happens when people stop being politeand start getting real. Only it would be 7 morbidly obese people. Hooking up. Getting into fights. Eating. “The Meal World.” Would have made me rich.
“The Meal World” would never get the greenlight it truly deserved. But thankfully, VH1, the network that pays my rent, has done the next best thing. Money Hungry, a reality show where 10 obese teams of 2 put up $10,000 of their own money for a shot at the entire $100,000 pot. The teams must lose weight lest they get voted off. It’s kind of like NBC’s giant hit The Biggest Loser, only less the bloated extra 65 minutes of people crying.
I know it seems like I’m getting paid to tell you to watch this. But believe me: I would legitimately watch this show whether I worked here or not. It looks. UNBELIEVABLE. Oh, and have we mentioned?
