It's Like Watching A Car Crash

My wife told me about a show she saw on Fuse the other night called Pants Off, Dance Off.

The concept is simple: find NYC freaks who want to dance, get naked and have the chance to win some money. Once again proving that people will do anything to be on TV, it's an absolute trainwreck...and by that I mean, it's awesome television. Why didn't I think of this? People from all walks of life (young, old, fat, thin, pretty, ugly - alright they're mostly ugly here), pick their favorite videos and dance in front of the green screen. Meanwhile, they intersperse the dancing with comments from the "contestants" as well as the "host". Of course, they stop it before anyone really gets nude, but in a brilliant move to direct people to the Fuse website, say that you can view "everything" online.

And, in another brilliant move, they just signed former child star and Crystal-meth addict Jodie Sweetin to host this thing. In a word, awesome.
