Leave it to FOX to do something like this. Mike Fleiss, the guy behind ABC's The Bachelor, will make another single guy dating show (this time starring a fat guy) called The Fatchelor. It's slated to air this summer but might be pushed to the fall. Something tells me that a show titled The Fatchelorette would cause controversies and get various groups in an uproar, but having a fat guy in it is funny! Will he be the only fat one? Will the women all be hot and make this into sort of a reality show version of According To Jim or Still Standing? Wasn't there a prank reality show several years back that did something like this?
What other network show would you like to see get, um, bigger?
So You Think A Fat Guy Can Dance?
Big Fat Bang Theory
Desperate Fat Housewives
Real Fat Housewives of New Jersey
The Price Is Right (And Fat)
Are You Smarter Than A Fat Fifth Grader?
The Fat Mentalist
Lie To Me, Fat Guy
Fat Lost
Mike Henry and Daryl Hall on a Cleveland Show Thanksgiving
The TV Squad Podcast: The Prisoner, '80s TV, soap news and more
Let's talk about spoilers ...

I don't think it's actually called The Fatchelor, unless things have changed. Isn't that show "More to Love"? I believe that author just stated at one point that he would hereby refer to it as "The Fatchelor". Variety being uncharacteristically humorous.

Humorous is relative...a local radio station did a bit called the Fatchelor back in the Fall of 2008 (for proof, look up wbcn fatchelor)

For me, it's a tie between "So You Think a Fat Guy Can Dance?" and "Lie to Me, Fat Guy."

Fattlestar Galactica? I have no idea what that would BE, but it's a funny name to type, anyway.
Fat America's Got Talent
and as a blast from the recent past, Fat Kid Nation.
