The Host
Ruff Ruffman is a dog who dreams big dreams — and not just because he sleeps a lot. After all, not every dog winds up hosting its own reality game show: it took vision, ambition, and a resume that conveniently didn't mention he was a dog. And now Ruff is where he was always destined to be — in over his head. But when the going gets tough, Ruff is always cool, calm, and collected...for about five seconds. The rest of the time he's managing one disaster after another with the serenity of a Chihuahua.
When not hosting his show, Ruff can be found doing yoga (or to be more accurate, he can be found stuck in a yoga pose and ready to be rescued), or cooking new and exciting recipes (which, after one bite, usually leads to a Chinese take-out order), or maybe you'll find him in front of a mirror practicing his acceptance speech for a major award (not that he's won a major award yet, but he likes to be prepared).
And although he may come across as a world-renowned artist, a dog of mystery, a canine genius, (or at least he comes across that way in his autobiography), the truth is, underneath it all, Ruff is just an old softie who loves every one of the contestants on his show and wishes they all could win.
The Contestants
Each episode of FETCH! follows one or more of the six contestants as they embark on mystery assignments to test their determination, their daring, and their intellect. Every season the contestants change.
Meet the Season Two FETCHers:
BRIDGET:
Bridget is one of six, so she and her siblings can form their own regulation volleyball team! She describes herself as very athletic—she's an expert hula-hooper, skateboarder, rollerblader, and swimmer, but she's never tried a unicycle. Her mom calls her "Bee," which isn't short for Bridget, it's short for "Queen Bee!"
MADI:
Madi's favorite sport in camp is water polo, which is the one without the horses. One of her talents is dog-walking, and she also thinks she has "mad dance skills." Madi has sold cookies, cakes, and sports clothing door-to-door. She says she has a small head, but thinks big thoughts.
MIKE:
Mike loves playing football, and likes being on defense a little bit more than being on offense. He thinks he has two left feet, but his mom disagrees. He's learning how to speak Chinese and Spanish, and he hates celery. Mike also thinks it would be embarrassing if he went to school and forgot his pants.
NINA:
Nina describes herself as an athlete, kind of, and also says she can do a handstand, kind of. She wants to be a lawyer because she's good in an argument, and she loves to play the violin. Nina considers herself an "amazing" cook, and brownies are her specialty.
ROSARIO:
Rosario's nickname is Rizo, because people in his school used to think his name was Rizorio. He likes to make pepperoni and cheese sandwiches, and he'd like to meet Denzel Washington. But he won't necessarily serve Denzel a pepperoni and cheese sandwich if he meets him. Rosario loves to sing like Frank Sinatra.
WILLIE:
Willie likes the water, especially when he's tubing, waterskiing and jet-skiing. He loves cornflakes with honey, but hates mushrooms and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. He would really hate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with mushrooms. He's seen Tom Cruise from a balcony, but would like to actually meet him. He would also like to meet Roger Federer because he's an awesome tennis player.
