VH1, JUMA and 51 Minds are teaming up for a new breed of dating show, Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch, which will feature women from all over the United States competing for the heart of notorious Cincinnati Bengals star player Chad Ocho Cinco. Details on the series, which is set to bow in July, and its format are in the press release below:
Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Chad Ocho Cinco (formerly Chad Johnson) is using his off-season to pursue happiness off the field in his new VH1 reality show Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch. The series is a mix of Ocho Cinco’s on-field charisma blended with the drama of the dating pool played out in a bracket-style dating tournament. The 10 episode, one-hour series is set to premiere in July 2010.
One of the NFL’s brightest stars, 32-year-old Ocho Cinco has been selected to the Pro Bowl six times and named an All-Pro three times. He legally changed his surname from Johnson to Ocho Cinco prior to the 2008 regular season to reflect the number 85 on his Bengals uniform. In the 2009 season, Ocho Cinco caught 72 passes for 1,047 yards and nine touchdowns. An avid user of social networks, Ocho Cinco has close to one million followers on Twitter and hundreds of thousands of fans on Facebook.
Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch will start with Ocho Cinco finding his “first 85″ by traveling all over the country meeting women that may be interested in dating him. Then, during the first episode, he will narrow the playing field down to the sweet sixteen – four women from each of the four regions of the country – Northern, Western, Southern and Central Divisions. The sixteen chosen women will be invited to join Ocho Cinco for the rest of the tournament-style dating competition.
Once the competition begins, Ocho Cinco will follow a tournament bracket where each of the ladies will have an opportunity to spend quality time with him while also facing off against one another in double-dates. The winner of each dating face-off will receive a game ball from Ocho Cinco and move on to the next round of the tournament, while the loser goes home. Ultimately the sweet sixteen will be narrowed down to eight and then the final four. In the end, the championship date between the two remaining women will result in Ocho Cinco awarding his chosen love the coveted Championship Ring. Hopefully, she turns out to be his greatest catch this season!
“Chad Ocho Cinco is one of the most electrifying individuals in sports today. His bigger than life personality on and off the field and his notorious skills as a social networker, connecting daily with his fans, makes him a perfect fit for VH1,” said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming and Production, VH1. “This show will not only give viewers a look inside his professional life, but also reveal his softer more romantic side when playing a very different kind of game.”
VH1’s Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch is executive produced by Bob Horowitz and Lewis Fenton (for JUMA Entertainment) and Mark Cronin and Cris Abrego (for 51 Minds Entertainment, LLC. an Endemol Company). Ben Samek and Matt Odgers also executive produce for the series and the company. Jeff Olde, Jill Holmes, and Kristen Kelly oversee the series for VH1.

Oh yeah, you brothers that hate black women cause when were in school they told you about your ashey hands or you look crusty. I was an athlete in school 5’6′ 4th grade had an Eddie monster, licked my lips all the time so they were always chapped and scabbed. cryed when I made the varsity basketball team as a freshmen. Brothers weren’t feeling me either. Mainly because I could beat them in any sporting event. Tomboy. But I still luv them. Strong sister cause I was a challenge to them. To you and T.O. Hard for me to fathom how u 2 don’t want a sister for a soul mate when the women that raised you 2 are STRONG BLACK WOMEN! Not hating, I still luv you both!
Hey Chad, I watched your show and you choose the the right person. Rubi has class and carries herself very well. she is beautiful with makeup and without, all the other females (Black & White)wears a ton of makeup and cannot go without it. I wonder what they look like without that fake hair and without makeup.Too much fake everything with the others.
From day one to last night Rubi has been true to herself.
ocho cinco should be seen frequently taking his 4 kids out to dinner, to the park, etc..instead of hearing about him spending $10,000 on strangers for a dinner…
again, all about him…being a father goes beyond the financial..a child will remember the QUALITY
hello does any one know if chad & rubi are even still togeather???
I REALLY LIKE THE SHOW BUT YOU SHOULD NOT PICK RUBEE YOU SHOULD OF CHOOSE SOME ONE ELSE

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
Wow! That was a really great article. Please keep writing because I love your style.
