Battle of the Bods

Fox sure knows how to make brainless, uncomfortable programming.

If The Moment of Truth flirts with disaster, Battle of the Bods goes right for the jugular: it consists of five girls who compare each other’s assets on a scale from 1 to 5, in hopes of placing each other in the same rated order as three judge(mental) dudes watching them from behind a two-way mirror.
