FOX Is Actually Calling Their Fat-People Dating Show The Fatchelor

thumbnail icon: FOX Is Actually Calling Their Fat-People Dating Show The Fatchelor

Back in March when Fox announced that they were producing a new reality show in which overweight women would compete for the love of "a Kevin James type," I made an obvious, silly, joke that the show would be called "The Fatchelor." It was then called "More To Love," but I guess we were all giving Fox too much credit, because according to Variety, the show is now called The Fatchelor. Unbelievable! (Totally believable.):

Another possibility for a fall splash is "The Fatchelor," the new supersized dating series from "Bachelor" king Mike Fleiss. ("Fatchelor" is currently set for summer.)

One guess what the people who competed on that show were told it was called. (Answer: "More To Love.") It was probably really called The Fatchelor all along. Fox is so evil! (But whatever, I'll watch the first episode, at least.)
