Animal Fight Club

We've gathered together five men and five women of child-birthing age who are fairly sure they would like to have a baby, but haven't yet chosen someone to provide the other half of the required genetic material. They've put their trust in you, the American viewing public, to make that decision for them.

Viewers will get the chance to vote by phone for which male they think should reproduce with each female. After the results are tabulated, each pairing will copulate repeatedly and hope for the best.

Then, follow our couples as their babies come to term. Watch as their relationships flourish and grow into love, or wither to disgust and indifference. The ABC Social Worker is on hand at all times to provide assistance and, if necessary, crisis intervention.

Will daddy stick around for the long haul, or hightail it at the first sight of a bulging tummy? When the baby is born will it be a cute bundle of joy or a hideous abomination of nature? And will the new parents decide to keep their offspring, or dump it at the nearest orphanage?

These questions and more will be answered when five women go on a quest to be impregnated with... the American Embryo!

Coming Soon: Celebrity American Embryo! Frozen embryos from various Hollywood marriages are profiled. Which one will be thawed and implanted in a surrogate, thereby giving it a chance for sweet, sweet life? That's up to you, America! Each week, the least popular frozen embryo will be discarded until only one has the chance for a life of privilege and awkward interaction with its genetic parents.
