    Default Idea for a TV show hosted by Rip

    I appreciate "Biggest Loser" for what it's worth, but would love to see a show like Biggest Gainer or Strong Enough hosted by Rip. Probably would be a Spike TV type thing, would be fascinating to see results for something like this. As great as it is to see people lose hundreds of pounds and improve their lives, would be great to see the guy from IT packing on bulk and getting strong.I'm sure this has been pitched before to no avail.

    Lol, I'm guessing that would be whatever pays more than your current gig on StrengthMill. I'll start the bidding at $1 and a bucket of fried chicken.

    Such a great idea. I'm picturing a separate fridge in the house full of milk. Bi-weekly house trips to all you can eat restaurants. And people would get a sense of what kind of strength gains are possible without steroids.

    Love the idea. It seems natural that reality TV fitness shows focus on weight loss rather than weight/muscle gain as obesity is more prevalent and thus it reaches a wider audience. However, I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands if not millions who are on the other side of the fence and would love to see such a program hit the air. Also, it would be a fresh change from the sea of weight loss shows out there. In business there is often great success to be found when one has the courage to zig when everyone else is zagging. Could be a reality TV show, or a one shot documentary style over a couple months.
    If anybody has any TV ties out there, start pulling some strings.
