Anyone who knows Chad Ochocinco knows that he couldn’t stay on the sidelines too long.

Tonight, the star Cincinnati Bengals receiver joined the ranks of celebrities with their own reality shows.

The Ultimate Catch premiered on VH1, and the premise of this show is that the outspoken Ochocinco begins with 100 girls that he must trim down to find the one for him.  The concept is certainly not original, but it is a step above Flavor of Love.  But just like any other reality show, this one had its share of un-smooth moves…

The first episode commences with Chad Ochocinco – accompanied by his “boy” Bernard “B-Twice” Berrian (“B Twice”, by the way, has to be the most original nickname ever.  Bernard Berrian. ”B-Twice”.  Please guys, don’t pick my nickname.).  Together, their job is to cut the girls who aren’t fit for #85 – and that was exactly was Ocho did.  Incoincidentally, the first girl that Chad personally cuts is one of the ‘chunkier’ ones in the group. 

What could we expect?  Ochocinco was never known not to act on his true feelings.

After narrowing the field down to 17, it was on to Ocho’s pad for a night of drinking and dancing.  And as we were just getting comfortable with Ocho and B-Twice, we’re treated to a guest appearance from fellow NFL receiver – and star of his own VH1 television series - Terrell Owens.

Ocho and his two pals are to talk to the girls and get to know them individually.  Leave it to T.O. to really get down to business on this front.  Check out his conversation with one of the contenders:   

T.O.: “Have you ever dated a black guy before?”  

Girl:  “No, but I heard once you go black you never go back.”  

Ocho has his eye on 16 women.

T.O.:  “Are you ready for that?” 

Girl:  “Do I look ready?”  “Stop looking at me so seriously.”

T.O.:  “Do you think your parents would be open to that?” 

Girl:  “My parents are black.  I’m adopted.” 

T.O.:  “Seriously?” 

Girl:  “No.” 

T.O.:  “You’re funny.  I like you for myself.”

I’m guessing that T.O. went home with about 10 ‘possibles’ at the end of the night.  Hasn’t Ochocinco seen the T.O Show?  After all, it did come on right after his…

Also, leave it to Chad to implement a bracket style ranking for the 16 women remaining at the end of the first show.  I’m not sure how that bracket is going to come into play.  Are the #1 and #16 seeds going to square off against each other for the rights to Chad?

Ochocinco tells us to “use the bracket pool in your office.  Maybe you can make some money off it.”

C’mon Ocho.  Like that many people are watching…child please!
