"More to Love"
Posted by jbug on 07-29-09 at 11:41 AM
Can we throw this one in here rather than on the "Other" thread?
After all, tho on a different network, I think it is produced by the same peeps.

So, am I the only one who watched?
Luke seems like a nice enough guy, but I also think he's in this for the fun - and whatever else (yea, whatever) he gets by being there! He was already into the sucky face stuff on the first night

I wish someone would help plus-size women in selecting their clothing.
Some of the women looked nice; others looked like they insisted on wearing what would have looked good on a small woman whether it looked good on them or not.

Looks like this show will have a lot of crying on it.

I watched. And yes, some of the clothing choices were unfortunate.

There sure were alot of crying women. Probably because so many of them seemed desperate. Alot of them thought this was their last chance to have a date.

I hated what little I saw of it. Could not believe that they published the girls' heights and weights. Disgusting.

Those girls and that guy are not "more to love" - they are extremely unhealthy and we should not be celebrating and encouraging what got them where they are. I feel that I can say this because I am and was one of those "desperate" girls. I've waited too many years to do something about it but I am doing something.

I will not watch this show.

I understand what you mean.
When Luke was talking about how he was happy with himself the way he is; how he loves to eat; blah blah blah, I was thinking
'yea, cause you don't want to make the effort to change.'

I can understand how the women can feel left out and shuffled aside in favor of more - or less - curvy women. But they can not be happy with the weight they are carrying. Every one of them have self esteem problems.

I can a lot of upset women as they get sent home - especially since most all of them think this is their one and only chance.

We watched; thought it was painful. If any of those ladies wears a size "12 to 14" (according to their hype about "the average woman's size,") then I guess I'm shopping in the wrong places! According to their heights/weights and definitions, "I" should be in a size "6 to 8"--yeah, right, only for a shoe size!

Bless their hearts. Their clothing choices were just terrible, with maybe one or two exceptions, and made them look worse than need be had they had better dress selections and some help with appearance.

Luke is not impressing us at all as being a "gentleman."

Only Fox would come up with something so inappropriate as this. Sad, painful, pitiful, and humiliating--can't believe they printed the ladies' heights and weights!

I can only imagine what will (or won't) go on if the girl who has never had a date ends up in the fantasy suite. The kiss she got when she got a promise ring was probably her first kiss.

I don't get why all of these women have so little dating experience. I know plenty of heavy women who date. Some even get married! I mean, really. To make it out like overweight people are so pathetic and never date and have no chance at love other than this show is ridiculous.

ITA about putting their height/weight up: really offensive. They certainly don't do that on the traditional Bachelorette/Bachelor shows!

I thought Luke was sort of creepy. Trying to kiss the women - look dude - they've known you five minutes and they already are inexperienced, only the stupid ones are going to jump in quite that quickly with you.

This show is doing a real disservice to those carrying a few extra pounds - portraying them as pathetic losers.

Why?

Because casting a bunch of well-adjusted, socially adept, confident women would not Bring.The.Drama!

Much better to cast a bunch of desperate women who think this is their last chance. I mean how are you going to get a fatty fight on tape if the women don't have massive issues?

What I don't get is why, if one person is overweight, they have to only date other overweight people. Do only skinny people date other skinny people? I would like this show more if there were more variety.

Really to get much range of body type you need a VH1 dating show.

In this case they want a heavy person to win so only having heavy people fits the bill, not letting the person chose between the hot and the not and like every other hot vs not show the size 2 hottie wins in the end and once again anyone who isn't Hollywood misses out.

So I can see why they have only heavy people. Now the guy didn't have to be heavy, but there is something to people often gravitated to those that are like them. I know a few "Mutt and Jeff" couples but more of the couples seem to be in the same range of body type rather than one very heavy and one very slim.
