Ochocinco Looks for Love with VH1 Reality Dating Show
It looks like 32-year-old Chad Ochocinco, the NFL Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, will be searching for love in a new reality series. This news comes shortly after the football star was revealed to be joining other celebrities on the Dancing with the Stars reality competition show. Maybe he’s becoming addicted?
It’s been recently reported that Ochocinco, who is the father of 4, signed an agreement with VH1 to do 10 episodes of a new dating show, which will run for 1 hour each episode and be called The Tournament. In this reality love show, the football player will be getting to know 16 women. Each of the women will take part in a dating competition styled like a tournament. The women that win double dates on the show will get a game ball, but the champion will be given a ring. It’s basically like every other dating show on VH1. The network is planning to premiere The Tournament in July this year.
Talking about why he wants to do this show, Ochocinco said that he’s single and has struggled with dating. He also noted only a couple rules that he will go by, although he is open to the reality dating concept. He says that it has to be classy and very tasteful, which is possible with this kind of show. Ochocinco added that he will do it unless they can get Sofia Vergara to date him, the Modern Family actress whom he’s had a crush on. He joked with a shout out to Vergara to call him any time.
