Behind the Screen: My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

I totally wrote this show off, but I am still sitting here watching the marathon. Please don't think less of me...

Ok I'll admit it. I watched the whole series the first time it was on...

My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance

I am watching a "My Big Fat Obnoxious Fiance" marathon on Fox Reality and I am actually finding it somewhat entertaining. That dude is really obnoxious (as the title would suggest) and the chick that is getting reverse "scammed" has no clue what is up. Did anyone actually watch this during its run on Fox? The only time I even heard of it was on VH1's 40 best Pranks show. User image

I just looked up the ratings and there were 21 million viewers for the finale, so I guess you were not the only one! ;) I thought it was quite entertaining, even if I sat and cringed through much of it. They pushed the limits of what can be done in good taste. Imploding an unaware, otherwise happy family for television seemed a bit extreme, but hey its Fox! I felt bad for the Coy family, but hopefully a million dollars between them helped to take away some of the sting.

Yes, I watched it when it first aired. I had a hard time getting into the show because I just didn't like Steve. The Coys were great, though. If I remember correctly, Randi had a tough time back in Scottsdale. She was another in a long line of teachers who were fired or forced from their jobs as a result of their participation in a reality show. User image

I agree that it was tough to be a fan of Steve (I don't particularly care for him as Joe the bartender on Grey's Anatomy either.) There are many ways to go about being obnoxious and I think his take on it was much more lowbrow then it cold have been. However, I had a secret crush on Randi. Whoops! Not secret anymore! I read about Randi getting fired from her job. Ridiculous. She did not do anything that was the least bit salacious, but then again it was a Catholic School.
