This show should change its name to "More to Hate." Most of the women on the show are just setting themselves up for ridicule and pain. It was painful to watch the looks of despair and desperation on their faces while they were waiting to see if they got their ring back.
I don't know why I tortured myself by watching it again. This show is NOT about "real" women; it's more about women who have no self esteem who want to pin their hopes on some cheesy sleazy guy just because he doesn't have a problem with the size of their a$$. UGGHH!
I guess it's only fair to tell you that I hate all these type of shows. I don't know how anyone can think they're in love after just meeting someone in this kind of set up and then fighting dozens of others for their affection. I'm sure it's great for the ego of the one person who gets to do the choosing but I'm afraid of what it's going to do to these already fragile women. If this were a show about real people they would have woman of ALL sizes and wouldn't focus all the attention on weight and food.
I don't think I can force myself to watch another episode of this show or my head may just explode. No more "More to Love" for me.

This show is going to murder their already low self-esteem. It really is horrible....unethical, really. Sometimes I hate TV.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I wonder, as with any "reality" show, just how much of the emotion displayed here is real.
ReplyDeleteThese women are rather embarassing(at least the ones who are constantly crying--Kristian comes to mind). I've never seen a sadder bunch and what low self-esteem!
Pretty sad that there even has to be a show that divides people by category but, the public has no taste.
Not sure if I will continue to watch either (but I might because there is nothing on Tuesdays :) I call this and the Bachelor my brain candy.
I agree - I couldn't get through the first 5 minutes last night. AWFUL show.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I must admit that I do get sucked into some reality shows (mostly on BRAVO) but none of the dating shows really appeal to me at all, it's actually painful to watch at times.
ReplyDeleteOkay...I'll admit it...I'm HOOKED!! I really thought after the first episode that there would be no way in the world I could watch this show, but I can't help it, I keep watching this train wreck. The incessant crying is a little too much, but I get annoyed by that on The Biggest Loser also. I wish we knew the time frame between episodes, because whole 'I'm falling in love after 3 weeks' is a little much for me to take also. Some of my favorites have been bumped off, but I'm thinking some of that is producer influence also, because they were the ones who seemed to have it together. There's no drama in that so I think they had to go!
ReplyDeleteI havn't seen this show.. but it sounds like one I wouldn't like either.
ReplyDeleteTHat is so sad... why don't people get that a person is a person and I don't know about those girls, but I certainly just feel like ME regardless of how much fat I happen to be padded in at any given time. Sheesh people just are so mean and stupid sometimes, watch something possitive instead. :-)
ReplyDeleteSkinny: I hate TV too but can't help watching.
ReplyDeleteManuela: I think it would have been ground breaking if they actually cast REAL women of all sizes with a hot guy but we all know how that would turn out.
Jenn: I couldn't look away. ;)
LAF: This one is especially painful to watch but I hate all the dating shows too.
B1993: I hate when they cry 'cause then I start tearing up too.
Chris: Don't get sucked in - it's horrible. I'm sure you'd rather be sewing.
Lady Vea: We're still the same people inside no matter how much padding we're carrying. I've lost and gained over and over and definitely notice a difference in the way people treat me depending on how much padding is there.
I wish I could change the channel. I'll have to go out the night it's on.
I don't watch any of these "dating" shows, as I can't imagine displaying those emotions to a viewing audience. Clearly, there's something I just don't "get" about the attraction of it.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, you DID write about it too! How funny that we are all on the same exact wavelength!
ReplyDeleteI decided to stop watching it after last week - I couldnt take anymore. hopefully they wont be making another season of this!
