""My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance""
Posted by superstepmom1 on 12-29-03 at 09:55 AM
OMG Did you guys see the previews for this show MBFOF? A girl actually has to dupe her parents into believing that she's marrying this totally obnoxious (Maybe an understatment) man and if they pull it off, she gets a million bucks.

Who could do that to their parents?
Would you?

Who plans to watch? I think I do....

Sheesh--they could have just come to my house, and done my DD and her bfo boyfriend!

As a parent, I would be very happy to find out my daughter was dating the guy for a good reason--like win a million bucks. See, that makes sense to me. But dating him just because she likes him? *shudder*

I may watch this. I like train wrecks.

Like I wrote in the news story, this sounds like "What if Joe Schmo Got Married?" to me:

I'll probably watch the premiere... which of course means you'll be able to watch three hours of reality that Monday -- American Idol 3 at 8PM, Big Fat Fiance at 9PM, and Average Joe 2 at 10PM

Comparing this big, fat, obnoxious guy to Joe Schmo is an insult to good ol' Joe, dontcha think? =) The two characters are nothing alike. Where Joe Schmo was the protagonist, this guy is in on the joke and, for "good" TV, is trying to make it as hard as possible for the girl to win the money.

I like the idea of the show, though. If it lives up to its previews, then it has the potential to be hilarious.

I saw a commercial for the show. Seems ripe for bashing.

I hereby volunteer. When the heck it is on, anyway?

I'm with Swami: the train has crashed and we're all on-site to see if the bodies landed in interesting positions. For some reason, this one feels like the 'How low can you go?' quest just broke through the crust and started making a moleline for the mantle.

But, as one of nature's wreck surveyors, I'll probably watch at least the first five minutes. Besides, as far as nightmarish familes and obnoxious relatives go, they can do absolutely nothing that stands any chance of surprising me.

Y'see, I've been in malls around Christmas.

Fat guys being married to beautiful girls is a staple of situation comedies.

Some examples:

The Life of Riley William Bendix and Majorie Reynolds

The Honeymooners Jackie Gleason and Audrey meadows (who was much nicer looking when made up).

The King of Queens.

That awful comedy show on CBS on Monday with Jamie Gertz.

A number of others which I can't think of at the moment.

I'll probably treat this like all the other retarded FOX shows(married by America, Joe Millionaire,...) and watch the beginning and the end. The stuff in the middle probably won't be worth the watching, but to get the gist of the show, and then the joke at the ending may be worthwhile.

Can reality TV sink lower?

Gawd, I hope so!



These reality show contestants need a reality check!

if it can't sink any lower i don't know WHAT i will do. i guess i will have to tape my soaps and watch them at night.

when i saw the 1st commercial it really made me think that HER family seems shallow. yeah he isn't handsome, he is overweight and appears to like to dance in his underwear but still they could be nicer to what they assume will be their "son in law". i also wonder how FOX explained the cameras, the family obviously knows there are cameramen around.

Good point Babydoll! I think I would be able to hide my dislike for a family member if TV cameras were around. Should be interesting.

Okay, I just noticed that it looked like I want to do a summary but it was a mistake...I can't because I'm not a good writer...sorry for the misunderstanding but I will probably watch the show and read everyone else's summaries which I am sure are really good!
