10 Ways to improve The Ultimate Fighter (or at least make it more entertaining)

The 11th season of The Ultimate Fighter, featuring coaches Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz (and Rich Franklin?) kicks off tonight following the UFC Fight Night 21 with Kenny Florian and Takanori Gomi in the main event.

Considering tomorrow’s April Fool’s Day, it seems like a good time to suggest ways to make the UFC-meets-Big Brother reality series more fun to watch.

1. Fighters will share the house with people from other reality shows – an addict, a hoarder, a dwarf, people with 19 kids, Paris Hilton, Flavor Flav…
2. There will always be one less bed than fighter. The odd man out must sleep in the tool shed out back.
3. Only winners of fights get any toilet paper.
4. Coaches won’t pick fights. Like American Idol, match-ups are made by the viewers via phone or text.
5. Dr. Drew will be on hand to deal with the Junie Brownings and JT Taylors of the house.
6. Unlike previous seasons, contestants will be able to watch TV. However, they only get one show: The View.
7. Fights that go to the judges will be decided by a game of Red Rover, Red Rover.
8. Fighters are told the house will be co-ed. The female fighters will actually be actors paid to mess with their minds.
9. The house will double as the Liberace museum.
10. The Situation and Snooki will be assistant coaches.
