If they had overweight people on them. I like FF, but they never have the overweight person who has to eat the cow testicle's or jump from semi to semi.

What about Survivor? An entire tribe of chunky people fishing or whatever. I think it would make for great TV.

What about MTV Tough Enough? They can have the Big Show training a bunch of overweight people....

Fear Factor never has overweight/unattractive people on it. Some of the chicks are flat out HOT!

And I wouldn't have it any other way!

I'm pretty certain people don't want to tune in to watch overweight people on TV.

Why wouldn't they? I'm not saying they should be stripping nude or anything, but overweight people can be as competitive as their thinner counterparts.

Midgets

Midgets would be more entertaining to watch. Even over-weight midgits. In fact, I can't think of any show or sport that wouldn't be improved by adding some little people.

If they were real? Yes they would. Since the are all scripted it is anything but real.

My girlfriend and I were thinking the same thing. We figured that he had more to do with the physical that these people go through. Most overweight people wouldn't pass a complete physical, especially if you told the Doctor you were going to try and scare the pants off of them.

Please, when discussing overweight people, don't talk about scaring their pants off!!!
