Episode 2: Up T**'s Creek

Episode 2 of Midget Mac's pursuit of New York's heart begins with a display of the finest beefcake the show has to offer. The contestants are working out on camera to show off their bodies to both New York and America. Our hero proves that pound for pound, he's the strongest man in thouse.

While the show has some of the finest beefcake's America has to offer (namely Buddha and Punk) the camera loves Midget Mac and can't keep its eyes off him, and with muscles like these, who can blame them?

Midget Mac is self aware of his manly physique and comments on his body, "That's without the baby oil." One can only wonder what that body would look like covered in oil on the cover of Muscles & fitness.

As the episode progressed and New York's first challenge emerged, we would learn the age old question: does muscle float?

New York's challenge this week was for the contestants to swim or float across a lake to reach New York who was on a wooden platform. Upon reaching New York each contestant was to present her with the gift they bought for her. A novel idea, but this is where Midget Mac faced his biggest fear, water. At a family reunion a younger Midget Mac saw his uncle drown and this scarred him for life. But being the brave man he is, he suited up to float to the apple of his eye, New York. Disaster ensued --->

Midget Mac fell off his flotation device and began to down. New York compassionately remarked later "I thought I was gonna have a dead midget on my hands". Thankfully fellow contestant Buddha came out of nowhere to save Midget Mac and help send him to New York.
As a result of his courage, Midget Mac won a date with New York (as did Buddha and Tailor Made). Now that the Mac was given his window, he was sure to take advantage. Like every logical man Midget Mac knew the fastest way to a girls heart is Ranch dressing. New York was so impressed by the Mac's love for dressing that she excalimed "I wanna dress your salad!" to which Midget Mac replied in a later interview, "I say go ahead, I ain't stoppin ya!". Easily my favorite quote of all time.



<--- New York blew him a kiss and Midget Mac did about the most adorable thing imaginable. He caught the kiss and put it in his back pocket. That's half of the beauty of Midget Mac, not only is he extremely tough and humorous, but also very endearing. After the success of that date there wasn't much more Midget Mac in the episode, up 'til the end, where he obviously got a chain this week.
