spongealan 0 Posted July 29, 2009 Did anyone watch this show on TV last night? I am curious about peoples thoughts on the show. Its a show that has the same basic premise as the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows where there is a Man or Woman, in this case a man that gets to choose who will be his wife. The women are in competition for this man's affection, and each week a certain amount of women get voted off untill he finds the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. The twist on this More to Love show is that the people on the show are larger than those that are on the other shows. Now I find the premise of this type of "reality" show to be stupid in the first place. But lets face it, stupidity and entertaining sometimes go hand in hand. The thing that I thought was very interesting, that they don't do on the normal Bachelor/Bachelorette shows is that when they show each person on the screen, they put up their name, residence, job, age, HEIGHT and WEIGHT. I thought that was interesting that we need to know what each persons Height and Weight were..... Love to hear some thoughts on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snereb27 0 Posted July 29, 2009 i didn't watch the show, but i have heard about it on the radio... the thing i find very interesting is that on the radio they keep saying "the average woman in america is a size 12/14. The average size of a woman on a reality show is a size 2." then they make some comment about the overweight people.. if the AVERAGE size is 12/14... then why are the 'normal' people being called out... why can't they make a comment about the abnormally skinny people on the stupid regular shows??? overweight isn't healthy, but neither is 90lbs... let's find a happy medium is all i'm asking for!

silvers320 12 Posted July 29, 2009 For the most part I am anti- reality shows, but I had to watch this. And what a train wreck.... 1. Did we need to know the girls weights? I mean you could tell they were not size 2s. Did it add anything to the show to know that they claimed to be 220lbs? 2. As with all fat folks the second thing they said to each other was "What's ur favorite food". I know that has always been my go to pick up line. Well right after "Need more blue cheese" 3. Felt it was a little heavy (no pun) on the "No one loves me cause I am fat" and a little light on the "I like me for me" 4. Loved when they took back the rings. I give you my heart - WAIT stop - NOW I need it back! Classic. 5. After all these years of these types of shows do these people really believe they are going to find the love of thier life here? And after 20mins? Maybe I am just hard hearted. Part of me doesn't know if I can sit through another hour of this but part of me wants to see how many fat sterotypes play out.

spongealan 0 Posted July 29, 2009 I think the fat stereotypes will be rampant on this show. I hope these women are getting paid very well for this because they are going to be made to look very foolish...a lot. I can see myself not being able to look away.:biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl 35 Posted July 29, 2009 I watched it. I don't normally watch reality dating shows, but I was curious to see this one. I agree that they didn't need to show the girls heights and weights. We have eyes...we know they are not size 2's. I'm not sure if I will keep watching it or not. Part of me hates the whinning about not being able to date from being fat, and part of me just wants to see how it will play out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HolliJ 24 Posted July 29, 2009 Honestly, I don't know if I'll be able to stand the show. I watched the first episode. The guy doesn't seem like a real catch to me. He seemed rather blah, monotone, and boring. Couldn't they have found someone with a little more personality? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrie_C 9 Posted July 30, 2009 I watched some of it, but I couldn't take the whinning from the girls about how they are so fat no one loves them. Give me a break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spongealan 0 Posted July 31, 2009 I find most of the women on the show very attractive. I am not sure if they know what they got themselves into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

talkalot1981 5 Posted August 1, 2009 I didn't watch but maybe the last 10 min of it tonight. They had an oncore. I thought it was quit stupid. Did you notice the girls that was sent home a majority of them where the fatest ones. Most heavy set girls already have a complex about their weight, so why not tell them that they are still not good enough. Hit on their depression a little harder. I dunno it is kind of hard to explain for me. I am just weighting to see the up coming shows. Are they going to have food eating compitions or something. I think it will just get bad reviews. Not just because the women are overweight but it did seem a little boring. Was he giving them RINGS?? I mean as in after all this I will marry you??? I mean please. There are ALL types of dating shows. And how many have really found love doing this???? Flavor of love? Brett Michaels?? NEW York?? please give us all a break.....
