Chunky Chasers
Been watching VH1's Strip Search? If so, you're familiar with the mostly witless cast of muscleheads longing enough to have their moment in the spotlight that they'll choreograph their own version of Britney's Toxic and not have a second thought about the nelliness of it all.
There is, however, one contestant who stands out from the rest, and cityrag points us to blogger fourfour and his ode to the hunk of a chunk named Bryce, whose lack of muscle definition makes him all the more appealing:
"Slender and vaguely muscley is the status quo's approved body type, presumably because it's a sign of effort put into physical upkeep and therefore tangible evidence of good health. But the state of being that is chunky (not fat, not pleasantly plump, not round, but chunky) is a middle that's often just as hard to maintain..."
Bryce says he'd get lipo to get rid of the love handles, but unfortunately this show ain't The Swan, and, as fourfour laments, he's probably not gonna last much longer.

I would hardly call him chubby more like typical of middle america (or much of the rest of the world outside the gay ghetto)
A really dumb show.

One of the dumbest shows I've ever seen.

How does "no muscle definition" = chunky? To me, chunky implies lumps of fat. I guess this is where our ridiculous obsession with body image has gotten us.

Uh oh, is this the start of something like the weekly "Manhunt Updates?"

i'd rather see bryce go all the way in the competition than those other pretty-boy idiots (sean, ryan & brian).
ryan bitched & moaned about how johnny was not a team player, yet ryan separates himself with sean & brian and rag about how they will last the whole competition. and ryan did nothing last night than belittle bryce. it was really sad the way they treated bryce at the end, while he was asleep. it just goes to show how insecure ryan/sean/brian are.
bryce has a natural sexiness about him; rather than ryan/sean/brian who think they are all pretty boys (which, i'm sure, they took steroids!) who really turn me off.
bryce really should make the final cuts. look at 2/3 of america - fat. much worse off than bryce is.

I think the word "squishy" fits best.

I watched approximately 10 minutes of this show once. Clearly that's enough. For anyone.
