Can Fat Teens Hunt?

In the latest and perhaps most desperate attempt yet to keep reality TV in existence, 10 seriously obese teenagers will be sent to a South East Asian jungle to curb their greedy ways.

US athletes admit to slacking in preparation for next year’s Olympic Games.

Can Fat Teens Hunt? Is a six-part series devised to improve the health of the contestants (and of course make an obscene amount of money via telephone voting). Contestants will have to spend one month with the Iban tribe, former headhunters, and trap, kill and cook their daily meals. The five boys and girls will have to dramatically change their potentially fatal eating habits when trading pizzas and hamburgers for river snails and jungle debris.

Daniel Chubb is a contestant taking part in the series. Affectionately known as Chubby or Great Big Fat Bastard, Daniel said “The hardest thing will be not having my favourite food. It’s gonna be tough and emotional. I rely on food for everything I do. I eat to remember and eat to forget, if that makes sense.” We then asked Daniel how he would cope being away from his parents for an extended period of time. “It’s probably for the best that I’m away from them. I could very easily eat them too. I’d be the laughing stock of the town. People would say “look, there’s that chubby little self-made orphan.”

A team of qualified nationalists and food experts will be on hand to monitor the progress of all the contestants and attempt to prevent them from eating each other.

The series will be hosted by Lisa Riley and Rik Waller.  JG
