E! Greenlights Dating Competition Series With NFL Star Travis Kelce

E! has ordered eight episodes of Catching Kelce, a dating competition series starring Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce, for premiere later this year.

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 will be joined by famous friends and family to help him along his journey, but in the series finale, only he can decide who is the right woman for him. The dating series has a twist, though. While Kelce will be deciding who stays in the house and who is sent home along the way, the women are able to strategically decide who is attending the all-important group dates. The debate becomes: do you pick your friends and keep those loyalties strong, or choose the “weakest” contenders to make yourself stand out? Lines will be drawn and friendships will be tested as the women pick and choose who gets the extra time with this football superstar.

“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,” said Jeff Olde, EVP, Programming and Development, E!.

In his first full year on the Kansas City Chiefs, Kelce had 67 catches, 862 yards, and five touchdowns to lead all the Chiefs, while his 503 yards after catch led all NFL tight ends. In 2014 and 2015, Kelce was a top vote getter for “Touchdown Dance of the Year.” Off the field, the NFLPA has named him one of their “Community Players of the Year.” Dedicated to his charity Eighty-Seven & Running, Travis spends much of his time working with less fortunate kids throughout the city.

Catching Kelce is produced by Grandma’s House Entertainment. Ben Newmark and Dan Newmark of Grandma’s House Entertainment, Scott Langerman of ACE Media, and Lauren Stevens are executive producers. Adam Bold and Mike Lopez of Grandma’s House Entertainment will serve as producers.

:facepalm:

Don't fumble your opportunity, Travis.

Yeah, taking the football seriously I see

"Grandma's house entertainment"

Kelce taking after Murray's brother and Bret Michaels.

Watch him pick a ****ing Bronco fan

And then after he gives her the 5 pump dump she chants "In-com-plete"

Not looking ideal for his chances to stay in KC once his contract is up. Not an ideal "TV Star" location.

Also don't like the fact he'll be diverting his attention to something other than football, reality shows haven't been kind to football players careers (Decker is the only one that comes to mind that continued to succeed).

Having said that, I'll be watching every episode. One of my favorite players and one of the best personalities in the league that people haven't fully caught onto yet. His snapchat is great.

Shit, I figured half of CP would be dressing up like a woman and auditioning.

Well this should work out just fine!

This is another reason why the Los Angeles Rams will have plenty of star power on their team. Guys will take any opportunity to promote their "brand" for life after football, although the KC market didn't hurt Tony Gonzalez TV quest.

Personally, I can't blame anyone that does...

Not overly concerned about it. At least my wife and I have something to watch together now.

Hopefully it isn't scheduled during your midget porn hour
