Travis Kelce "Catching Kelce"..... (1 Viewer)

Just when you thought you had seen it all, I saw this earlier.

From ESPN-

E! Entertainment Television confirmed the KC Chiefs tight end will have his own reality TV dating series.

The eight episodes of "Catching Kelce" will run on E! later this year.

“On top of being a well-respected athlete, Travis has a fun-loving, over the top personality that draws people to him, and we are excited to give our viewers an up-close look at his search for love,” E! executive vice president Jeff Olde told deadline.com.

Describing the format of the show, deadline.com wrote “Fifty eligible women, one from each state in the U.S., will be invited to Los Angeles as Kelce searches for that special someone to become his lifelong 'teammate.' "

Kelce is currently in Hawaii preparing for Sunday’s Pro Bowl game.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is being touted as a cross between "Survivor" and "The Bachelor".

They will apparently go on 1-on-1 dates, group dates etc., with women being eliminated.

I did a quick search, and didn't see this mentioned anywhere.

As sad as this may turn out, I will be watching this one as there's sure to be some scantily clad hotties running around.

Now if we could only get him to get The Chiefs to get him the ball more, then we would be on to something.

Really strange choice for a show like this, non-football fans would have no idea who he is...does that mean his camp reached out to try and make a show like this? You know a show like this would rather have a superstar like Gronk if possible, not a guy only FF owners know.

Wasn't one of the bachelors a no name giants qb?

Well, its on the E! network. They are much more apt to take a "lesser known player" (or actor) when it comes to things like this.

I suppose it will get some crossover ratings from date starved women, and a few football followers/fantasy players looking to see his type of lifestyle or whatever, but I can't see it doing but so well.

Now if it were on one of the big three networks, with a major player, then I'm sure it would be a different story.

'With filming done for dating reality show, Chiefs' Kelce is focused on football".

 Still no airdate has been promoted, but then again I didn't dig too deep.

 Seeing as the only thing interesting with the Rams being on "Hard Knocks" is going to be Gurley , I anticipate this Kelce show more in some ways. :P

 As I mentioned above, now if we can get the Chiefs to use the extra TV exposure to figure out a way to get him the ball more, then we may really be onto something.

 I wonder if the extra attention from the TV show will affect his draft values. I know sometimes the extra TV time tends to cause a guy to be drafted a slight bit higher.

 I don't have any solid numbers to back this up, but sure enough every year a "Hard Knocks" star or two tends to go a round earlier in a few of my drafts. I'm sure that happens in a bunch of leagues everywhere.
