BET Announces Three New Reality TV Shows

BET has announced plans yesterday for three new reality television shows

This spring, BET viewers will vicariously experience the journey of five diverse and multi-
talented individuals determined to make their mark with the premiere of the network´s
newest series, BLOWIN’ UP! FATTY KOO. For 13 episodes in this half-hour unscripted
drama, BET´s cameras follow the lives of five kids from Columbus, Ohio who form the
musical collective Fatty Koo and capture their struggle to break into the record biz.
BLOWIN´ UP! FATTY KOO premieres on BET on Thursday, April 21 at 9:30pm ET/PT

Two other shows that are currently under development include:

REMIXED - This is the makeover show that believes that the day after BET makes you
Cinderella, you shouldn´t turn back into a pumpkin. The BET team goes around the
country making over those lucky enough to have a chance at reinventing themselves, BET
style! But the physical makeover is one thing. REMIXED will pair its participants with a life
coach, a person that will help the "remixee" change the direction in life he/she most wants
changed. How successful will they be? Find out each week in this half-hour program that
uses stylists, makeup artists, beauticians and a special life coach to form the maximum
makeover crew.

KICKBACK - This daily half-hour relationship/dating show features four single girlfriends
with four single guys in a fully tech´d-out fantasy house. The drama will unfold as players
are eliminated until only two remain, looking to see if they´ve made a love connection.
