AFTER RUMOURS of his participation at the Dancing with the Stars 2010, wide reciever Chad Ochocinco gets a chance to be on TV. The wide reciever from the Cincinnati Bengals will be seen on a dating show on VH1.

Chad Ochocinco will be part of a dating show with a sports tournament style bracket system. The VH1 show called "The Tournament" will see the footballer travelling across the country to meet prospective dates. He will narrow them down to four women each from the Northern, Western, Southern and Central parts of the country, participants for the show.

VH1 VP programming, Jeff Olde said, "Chad Ochocinco's bigger-than-life personality on and off the field and his notorious skills as a social networker, connecting daily with his fans, makes him a perfect fit for VH11. This show will not only give viewers a look inside his professional life, but also reveal his softer more romantic side when playing a very different kind of game."

VH1 has taken up Juma Entertainment and 51 minds to create the 10 episode show, The Tournament.
