"NFL superstar Chad Ochocinco is known for his eccentric personality and wacky on-field antics. Now, he's looking for love. But of course, he's not going to do it like any ordinary person. He's going to do it bigger than it's ever been done before. Starting with eighty-five women to choose from, Chad is going to see if he can find his ultimate catch." - VH1[3]

  • Top Player: Rubi
  • Eliminated: Cynthia

"Sixteen ladies remain in the house as the battle for Ochocinco's heart truly begins. Divided into two teams of eight, the women must compete against their teammates to be the last one standing. The winners suddenly realize getting a date with Ocho can be a blessing and a curse. Tensions rise and hearts break as the ladies realize two of them must go home tonight!" - VH1[5]

"It's down to 11 ladies and Chad is digging quite a few, it's anyone's game right now. Chad wants the girls to show him their personalities because getting a girl is the easy part, but getting one that's going to keep his interest, that's another story. One girl is totally blindsided in elimination and an emergency forces another girl to question if she should stay or go." - VH1[8]

"We're down to Chad's Elite Eight. As this second half of the Tournament kicks off, Chad takes his girls on a mountain retreat to step back from the celebrity flash and show them the realer side of Chad Johnson. He opens his heart and reveals his past to find out which girls are ready to warm up and which are giving him the cold shoulder.

So to help him out, he's asked his longtime friend and sports psychologist to meet with each girl and get a good sense of who would best fit his lifestyle. After some in-depth analysis of each girl, one of the girls triggers a reaction from Chad that leads to an elimination unlike any other this season!" - VH1[15]
