Like, 200 lbs more.

This week on the Series Premiere of Fox’s More to Love, Luke, a 26 year old dude is looking for a chunky lady to be his everything. And man, there is a LOT of lady to go around. These women are like, super fat and super desperate and ready to get it ON. Luke lowers down the ranks of the chunky bunch from 25 to 15 in this fat-filled season premiere!

Once we wade through the large, blubbery montage of fat women hating themselves….we meet Luke. Yes, I can tell right off the bat that this show is going to be crazy drama, with lots of self-loathing, double stuff oreos and control top panty hose.

At the same time, I was really unaware that the guy would also be a pudge, which is sort of fun but also sort of disappointing, further reinforcing the taboo of fat women on tv- they can’t be sex objects, but if they are they should only be yearned for by big ‘ol men. Oh, Fox, what will you think of next.

So, we meet Luke.

Picture 1-379

Between snacks, I like to work.



Luke is a 27 year old successful real estate investor, who looks more like he’s 35. I guess fat will do that to you. He’s a thrill seeker with a six figure salary, and a six pack. No, not of abs. Of Roundy’s cans of peanut butter. Yeah, he keeps them in his car, you know, for emergencies.

Then, a couple clips of Luke huffing and puffing on the beach with his dog.

Picture 2-239

Then, staring poetically out into the ocean. What a dreamboat!

Oh, but Luke hasn’t always been fat. Oh wait, he has. And, awkward.

Picture 1-380

No, I don’t have downs syndrome, I’m just fat.



Luke enjoys being a man of “large stature.”

Picture 1-381

He also likes to eat.



He doesn’t like chicks who count calories.

Picture 1-382

But he keeps his dog on a strict diet.



Seems like a good catch, eh? Well, 25 fat women agree. Actually, I’m glad this guy is getting a chance to find love, he seems like, only borderline douchey.

Then, in LA, let the games begin! Bring out the bacon!

Emme, plus size model and host, looks perpetually worried and is probably the thinnest person on the show, besides the dog and the person who runs the boom mike who got crushed in the stampede out of the limo.

Picture 1-383

Hey, it’s a fat Glenn Close.



I’m also pretty sure I’ve seen this mansion on some season of the Bachelor. Ah well, sloppy seconds ain’t a crime. Emme and Luke have some awkward conversation about how Luke doesn’t have a type (aside from “chunky style”) and then the girls get to meet their man-meat. Literally.

First, there’s Malissa, who never liked to think of herself as fat.

Picture 1-384

But obviously, does now.



She’s actually kinda cute in the face, and has big juggs. But all these fatties have big ‘ol titties, so that’s kind of a given. I love how their little bottom-screen profile also has their weight, which is totally fake on some of them. Geez.

Then there’s Christina, who seems like a pill.

Picture 1-385

Guess what? I fart roses.

She’s got more hairspray in than the Hollywood supply at Rite-Aid. I’m going to call her Tracy Turnblad. I love how these big women have big hair, to match. As if to say, “even though my body is unconventional, my hair is!”

Then there’s the girl who is already crying and feeling sorry for herself. Christ, I already want to slap her in the face. We’ll call her waterworks.

Picture 1-386

Also, she’s super fat.



She’s ready to fall in love and gets a kiss on the cheek (her first?) from Lucky Luke.

Next I’ll call Winona Judd, only she’s got black hair. Same weight, though.

Picture 1-387

I’m here to sell you some Alli.



She talks a ton about baking cookies and pies, and less about feeling shitty. Uh, still. How very fifties of her.

Next is Amanda, who asks Luke if he’s “ready to date multiple girls.” Wow, how’s that for an icebreaker?

Picture 1-388

I will kill your pets and then eat them.



How very single white female of her, though she looks a little latina from this angle. We’ll hold off on a nickname for now, until she starts drinking her own urine.

She seems to have a thing against skinny girls, for some reason. Hmm….

Then there’s Michelle, whom I will call “Mom I wouldn’t like to fuck. Christ, look at those knockers!

Picture 2-240

I do crazy things with fudgesickles.



After a couple awkward moments of talking where Luke treats her like a borderline retard (or is he just a natural slow-talker? Is that flirting? Weird) she cries in the confessional when recounting the encounter. Christ, get this woman a pork chop, stat.

She talks a little more about how she’s ok being fat, but she’s still crying. I don’t get it. Then MIWLF rubs her butt as she meets the other girls.

Picture 1-389

Yes, I’m a weirdo.



Anna the Amazon is up next. Jesus, this woman is like 7 feet tall. She should be playing basketball in the fat Olympics!

Picture 1-390

I do not joke: I will eat you.



I like, too, how Amazon is a plus size model but she’s sorta the thinnest we’ve seen so far. Go figure.

Next is Rocket Scientist girl. Really? Is that the proper title or is she just trying to impress Lucky Luke. She’s sorta pretty in the face but she seems nervous.

Picture 1-391

Also, she’s fat.



Smarty McRocket scientist doesn’t understand why society thinks appearance is the most important thing. Hmm, ever hear about genes and a family history of obesity and how that affects one’s health? Guess not.

Then there is overly-perky Lauren. YAY! She’s a 26 year old student and thinks of herself as a “gorgeous chunky girl.”

Picture 1-392

Chunky Monkey

Then there’s Vanessa, the snaggle-tooth redhead. She’s confident, and makes a big fuss about “who you are inside.” It’s funny how all these fat girls are making a big stink about inner beauty, when their outer beauty is…ahem, well, let’s just say…fat as shit.

Picture 1-393

I want to make you into a giant taquito and eat you up



Then there is another Melissa. She’s never been on a date. Wow.

Picture 1-394

Also, she’s fat.



Danielle is next, who appears to be a very light skinned black lady. She’s pretty, though. Man, I hope she doesn’t cry in her little intro confessional….Oh, I spoke too soon. Wait, and maybe she’s not black? I don’t know.

Picture 1-395

racially ambiguous



Let’s call her mystery meat. Am I going to remember all of these names? Probably not.

Mandy, the next chunk out of the cab tries to teach Luke a little bit about Salsa. NO, the dance, you terrible people! Not the delicious mexican tomato-based dip! Geez, you people are SO insensitive!

Picture 2-241

Dare we try a guacamole?



Tali is the dark, large Israeli who is ready to find someone to eat hummus and schnitzel with.

Picture 1-396

Easy on the bronzer, Tal.



Are larger people more racially ambiguous? Christian seems….sorta black but still, I can’t tell. She also seems like she’s 12.

Picture 1-397

I get lots of lollipops at the Doctor’s office!



The next girl I think got into the wrong limo because she seems…kinda THIN? Well, at least not obese. Also, her name is Aryan, which is weird.

Picture 1-398

Statuesque and Naziesque



She sorta looks like Missi Pyle. You know, that devil-lookin’ actress. No, I won’t show you a picture. Use your imaginations, you lazys! She’s a cabaret entertainer who likes to cry. Really? Man, something is up with these fat girls and fuckin’ crying all the time. It really gives water-retention a bad name, really.

Sandy is a waitress in a cute dress.

Picture 1-399

Boobs boobs boobs!



She wants to teach Luke how to…milk a cow. Because, you know, she’s from Iowa and that’s what Iowans do. C’mon, Sandy, let’s study up on some not so lame pickup lines, ok? Or is Iowa going through a pickup-line draught?

Shari is next, complete with greasy hair and weird outfit.

Picture 2-242

I smell like movie theatre popcorn!



Then there’s Tracy Turnblad 2, who is so freaking annoying from the get go. Ugh, stop calling the man you wanna fuck a “teddy bear,” again, with these pickup lines, LADIES!

Picture 1-400

Ohhh, you’re like a big baby! A BABY! Oooo!



Her name is Mugwali or some shit like that. Weird.

Natalia likes to cook.

Picture 1-401

And eat, apparently.



She also looks like Barney, the big purple dinosaur, only more busted-up. Finally, the girls are all inside the mansion, threatening to break the couches and talking about food. Right? Or like, being loved? Or how they’re such good people? Or about inner beauty?

Luke says something about how they’re all beautiful, and then gives them all diamond rings with the promise of mutual getting to know each other. Man, I bet fat chicks PUT OUT. Don’t you think? They’re already swooning over some 3rd rate diamond ring, all you need is a taco salad and they’ll be friggin’ halfway undressed. Am I right? Ladies?

Picture 1-402

Make it a double double and we’re in business.



Lucky Luke starts impressing the girls with some inner beauty banter, and then the conversation goes to the moneymaker- Food. Luke likes steak and potatoes, and apple pie for dessert. No cherry on top, though. Geez!

Picture 1-403

Don’t upset the herd.



Picture 1-404

Ham Sandwich



Anna gives Lucky Luke a kiss while Sandy Iowa gets a little bit tipsy. Tracy Turnblad plays the mom (or the bitch) and veers her away from the booze. Come on, Tracy, don’t be such a killjoy! Melissa Mcneverbeenonadate is so nervous, admits it, sweats, and repeats that she’s never been on a date in her life. And then that people play cruel jokes on her.

Then, mystery meat jumps in the pool to…make an impression?

Picture 2-243

Classy.



Luke teases about jumping in, then walks away. The Punk Winona Judd gets a little sour on it, and bitches to the camera. Meanwhile, Melissa, who looks like a fat, blonde version of that girl from twilight (look it up, folks!) gets the second kiss of the night with Luke. She seems pretty cool, not gonna like, despite her name being spelled retardedly.

Picture 2-244

Beso means kiss. Bring on the romance!



Emme comes out and tells the chunky bunch that they need to give back their rings. Naturally, the ladies are PISSED.

Picture 1-405

I’ll bite your hand off, bitch.



10 will go, fifteen of the chunky bunch will stay. More crying ensues. Lucky Luke comes out and has another “I just wanna say…” followed by something banal about being thankful and how the girls look beautiful, blah blah blah….

Picture 1-406

I just wanna say….from the bottom of my heart…please ladies, stop crying.



Christian the 12 year old is starting to make lovelorn crazy eyes…..man, it’s only a matter of time till these ladies start foaming at the mouth.

Picture 1-407

I WANNA BE HERE!



Anna the Amazon gets called first, then Malissa A, the beso kiss girl. Of course! The ones that put out. Mugwallialaggaai is next, then the waterworks. Mandy the salsa dancer is next, then Amanda. Man, the chunky bunch is getting restless.

Picture 1-408

Cry it out, as usual.



Snaggletooth vanessa gets called, and then Tali the Israeli. Lauren crazy-eyes gets a ring, too and then Winona Judd. Tracy Turnblad 1 and 2 get called, and Dani McI like to jump in pools. Aryan gets a ring, and then Crazy Christian. Ugh. Geez. She is already calling him the man of her dreams! Last but not least, Mel B., the girl who has never had a date. All the ugly faced girls are going home, folks! Also, Rocket Science gal. See ya!

Bye bye Barney. I’m sorry.

Picture 1-409

What’s next? I mean, besides a combo platter?



Iowa with the cute dress goes home, too, along with greasy-hair. Ah well, they seem young enough. Also, MIWLF leaves, so no more mom jokes! Boo!

Anyhoo, thoughts?

Also for next week…..what?

Picture 2-245

More crying, of course!

    Being a big girl myself…

    Yeah, that’s all I got.

    Seriously, if these girls wouldn’t just sit in the house and eat their feelings, they would know there are plenty of chubby lovers out there.

    Love the recap!

    In fact, I think I’ll skip the show altogether, and just stick with your recaps…

    I agree some of these chicks are sooo whiny. If anything, they’re actually hurting the ‘fat acceptance’ cause by acting like being fat is some incurable disease that destroyed their self-esteem.

    Yeah honey, you’re fat, so what? There ARE guys out there who date fat chicks, and if that doesn’t work out there’s a gym in every strip mall in America. If you really believe you’re a wonderful person with great inner beauty, you might want to try projecting that rather than a weepy, insecure fat chick who hates herself.

    The Fatchelor- hahahaha, Cattyfan! This show can’t go wrong, it’s a motor-boater’s paradise!

    And he’s 27?!? 27? If he’s 27 then I’m 18. And a virgin. And sober. AND convinced that Tom Cruise isn’t gay.

    Thanks for the recap, Monamonzano. I hope that you have an extra big widescreen TV. You’re going to need it.

    I enjoyed the recap, but I kind of wish that there weren’t so many fat jokes in it. I understand that the show is about fat people who want to fall in love, but the constant barrage of them made it kind of tiring to read. I’m not saying don’t make fat jokes, because they were funny, but maybe you should also find other things to make fun of them about. Besides being fat.

    Thanks for watching this train wreck of show, Monamonzano. I’m afraid I couldn’t get through the first episode — and I watched all of this season’s Bachelor! (I thought I was made of sterner Reality TV stuff, but apparently not!)

    I cannot believe how these women were acting. How are they any more “real” than the Bachelorettes? The fact that there is “more to love”? Most of these girls spent way too much time whinging about their weight/low self-esteem *AND* how stupid/evil/lame/attention-whoring their opponents are. More to love? Hardly.

    Rocket Scientist Girl, do *not* apologize for being smart and beautiful, you crazy woman. Never apologize for being a step above, honey.

    As for the so-called Fatchelor, yeah, he’s a real prize. He comes off as a jerk. And lame. And a real estate agent of the sort who would sell you a house with a cracked foundation for twice the going rate. Apparently, having a bigger Bachelor means he has to be twice the douche Jason Mesnick was. And it’s only the first episode. Joy. If he were my only chance for love, I’d choose the Rabbit and an endless supply of batteries. Sorry to be blunt, but really, he is not a catch. I hope he ends up with the Gothy-pie-baking Tracey Turnbladt. I bet she boils the bunnies that go in her pie.

    Mona, you’ve got a tough job here: to snark but not seem mean. You crossed the line a few times, but generally did a good, and pretty funny, job.

    Quite a few of these young women are very pretty. They are more of a ‘catch’ than our boy Luke. The six figure income is nice, but he isn’t that appealing. (I didn’t watch the show, I am just going by the pics here.)

    It’s too bad that Luke is the best they could do for a Bachelor. I have a friend who is a very handsome, athletic, and intelligent African-American man who prefers larger women. He is in his 40s though and divorced, which doesn’t fit in with the Bachelor mold. (They always act like it is such a scandal to be DIVORCED.)

    And the ring thing is tacky!

    I also hate it when fat women say that they are “real.” I’m thin (I take no credit for it; I have good genes) and I’m real. Women attack each other too much. We all have our own problems and insecurities, and we’re all real. (Except for Daisy de la Hoya, but that’s another story. And what a mess that girl is!)

    Hmmm, lesseee….watch a houseful of fatties vie for the attentions of a fat schlub. Um, no thanks. What idiot at Fox thought this was a great idea?

    I’ll be reading the recaps though, lots of fun.

    Genetically based obesity is pretty rare. Eating way too much garbage food and exercising way too little is much less rare.

    Okay, you do have a tough job with this one. Kind of like the Celebrity Rehab recaps – tough, and while I am laughing at page one, I just friggin had to stop to comment on the “conventional” thing…as in “While my body is not conventional, my hairstyle is,” – well, conventional as in conventionally beautiful, yes, I agree…but conventional as in “ordinary, day to day, the norm” – I don’t – as well, these ladies are very, very normal. I mean, just go to the mall and take a look around. These women represent the reality. Anyway, this is reality, reality TV, I suppose. :)

    And furthermore, (still only on page one)I can’t stand all the crying. I have been skinny, and then a bit fat, and then skinny, and never thought I would ever be fat again, and then fat again, and while I was skinny I do admit that I thought that it was so simple to be skinny and I looked down on those who were fat, until I was fat again…and it might be good genes for some (but I think that all genes are good genes as in we are all human and get to breath the air for a short while)but it is a struggle for a lot of others. That said, stop your crying ladies…

    Okay, Next Page…(and man, TVGasm is surely a good thing for a lonely fat gal in the country on a Friday night…a whwhhwhhahwahwa) :)

And, not a single flattering hair style on anyone. They could have spent a few bucks for a new do and dress. Afterall, they were on live TV !!!

    Great recap! “Mystery Meat?” Hilarious. I don’t think the fat jokes are too much….that’s the whole premise of the show, is that you’re fat and you’re going in front of America based on that.

    What I object to is the notion that these girls are supposed to represent “normal” because we have an army of fatties in this country.

    It’s not normal….these are people who are not active and eat way too much crap. I think they are just being delusional in thinking that because it’s a very large club they belong to (no pun intended), that it’s ok to be obese.

    Keep up the good work, Monamonzano.

    I’m a fat lady, so I naturally I was intrigued with this show & I couldn’t be more disappointed by it. it shouldn’t be called “more” to love, it should be called “desperate” to love. I mean, did they go out of their way to not only find fat girls, but fat girls that had NEVER dated before?? I can’t even remember how many of them said they had never gone on a date before! and all the damn crying! oh, boo-hoo, I’m fat & nobody will fuck me!

    I’ve had lots of sex & many wonderful relationships. there are so many chubby-chasers out there it’s crazy. these women are either extremely sheltered or extremely stupid .. but they’re probably both. hell, my last boyfriend wanted me to get FATTER!

    and all of them were talking about how wonderful he is? what?? he’s all right, kinda cute, but not especially funny or intelligent, at least from what I saw. yet their panties were soaked immediately and ALL of the ones that got sent home cried about it!

    way to go for reinforcing old stereotypes instead of doing the opposite of what you claim to do, “fat-positive” show.

    what a load of crap. now excuse me while I go eat some dessert off of my man-toy. :P

    Dayum radicalred! You sliced it up, and served it out!! Hahaha. I, too, am fat. Not morbidly obese like the ladies on this show. I was thin for many years too.

    I don’t think that you should stop with the fat jokes. Fat jokes are funny. People need to understand that being fat or obese is not an illness or disease. You can control it if you really want to. Can’t say the same for morbidly ugly people, who this site makes fun of ALL the time. Plastic surgery just makes ugly people uglier.

    Besides, anyone who goes on a reality tv show is fair game. Too fat, too skinny, wonk eyes, too short, too tall…doesn’t matter. If you get on my tv, I’m talking trash. It makes me feel better about myself (take it up with my therapist).

    This show sounds super annoying anyway. I’ve never watched one season of the Bachelor and I would never waste my time to watch now that the contestants are patheric losers.

    BTW, being fat doesn’t mean you have to stay home and not have fun. Sure there are chubby chasers but I used to be able to find non-chubby chasers and convert them.

    ”

    How did you the converting? Mention you were willing to do a certain sexual act right off the bat when you met the guy? Said sexual act is something guys do want to occur but don’t mention to a woman since it comes off as weird.

    It’s pretty funny the comments here about chubby chasers compared to say on the bravo forums when the Millionare Matchmaker mentioned she wanted a chubby chasing millionaries to join her club so she can select women for them to get married.

    “but I used to be able to find non-chubby chasers and convert them.”

    So, does that work the same as with religious converts who become the biggest, most self-righteous reactionary fundamentalists?

    What are fundamentalist chubby chasers like? Do they, for example, insist that the gal has a specific number of rolls and folds in various places? And that those folds spell out a message in an ancient alphabet? You know, sort of like laying tefillin?

    Maybe they insist on a literal interpretation of the Deep-Fried Twinkie ingredients list?

    I can appreciate the time it takes to write a recap and will not argue there is a lot of material with this show. However, the recap was pretty low on substance. Just a bunch of fat jokes strung together .. not entertaining. There’s a difference between snark and mean, this recap was not the former.

    I was anxious for the recap because they are fun to read, however, this time I am disappointed. I felt there was plenty to tease the “contestants” about besides their weight and expected this column to follow that. It’s obvious these beautiful women are in pain and I will not laugh at that. If you notice even the lighting on the show was not geared to actually be flattering, no softness to their skin. Unfair. Give them a chance, make fun of the woman for jumping into the pool, not her weight. They want love, who doesn’t . . .

    haha, why thank you, uglycutie! I have some strong opinions about being fat, in case you hadn’t noticed. ;)

    by the way, Monamonzano, wonderful recap hehe! the “racially ambiguous” and “Am I going to remember these names? Probably not.” both made me laugh at length. and I so agree with you about that one girl who looks like she’s 12! she was wayyyy too needy & I couldn’t stand her puppy-dog eyes up at him, like he was the epitome of any man she had ever seen! blech! from the preview, she is the one that tells him she’s falling in love with him (I can tell from her roundness & frizzy ponytail!), so we can expect to see a lot from her in the future! actually I may lose weight from all the vomiting this will induce, so hey, the show is good for something!

    oh, and I would also like to comment on the bizarre weights for some of the women. not only did some of the seem like a HUGE stretch – excuse me, MIWLF, honey – you are NOT 5’4″ & 220 lbs. more like 5’0 and 275 lbs. yikes! and what the hell was with the mile-wide spanse between her breasts?? I would call it cleavage, but there was no cleaving, or a ledge. even her butt was weird & lumpy. I did not like her at all.

    it just dawned on me who she reminds me of: Fiona when she gets turned into an orgre in Shrek, sans green skin! haha! that is an image that will haunt me for a very long time. :/

    ahem .. anyway. I am 5’4″ & 215-220 on a slow week and I do not look a-n-y-thing like that tub of lard. she should go back to the middle school trailer trash hoedown she was chaperoning & put some more money into dentistry. I’m not stroking my ego here, but I put her to shame. she HAS to be a lot shorter than I am, or my belly dancing, yoga & stretching pays off more than I realized. I have a neck, and long legs, and a great rack. I do plus-sized pinup modeling. I’m plump, but in a Jessica Rabbit way, not a Rosie O’Donnell way. it’s comparing hourglasses to oranges.

    also, if I don’t stay in motion, I am in pain because of my back (I was in a minor car accident 2 years ago) – plus I have a daughter so running around after her is a great workout. I hardly put on any weight during my pregnancy, so I truly believe that this is the weight I’m supposed to be at, but there’s always room for improvement. but I treasure my curves.

    for most of these women, it is obvious they do not. I’m wondering if some of the ones that make it far will have something positive to say about being fat, but I’m not betting the farm on it either.

    oh, haha, one more thing (I talk a lot I know): keep the fat jokes coming! I did cringe in a couple of places, but I feel like I know this forum’s style better than to take it personally. the jokes are witty, and some of them are thoughtful, and I did get much amusement out of them. and I am SO glad there’s a place where someone else feels the same way I did about that scripted shooting-fish-in-a-barrel piece of garbage.

    it’s kind of like how I felt when I found out that someone had started a deep-fried candy bar restaurant via Unwraped. violated & hungry at the same time, just like I do at the end of any good date. :D

    uglycutie, a couple of other things: I totally agree about this site putting up anyone for getting picked apart. I just got finished reading Twunty’s account of Daisy of Love, and I can’t remember the number of times she called her skinny, bony, ugly – basically every euphemism you can come up with to say “crack whore” – to describe Daisy! haha! this site is NOT some “we hate fat people” site. it’s a “we hate stupid, corrupt, shallow, ignorant people that will do anything for a buck”.

    and you’re also right about “converting” guys! actually, I honestly have not had any of my friends or exes ever said it was an issue. if you are sexy & feminine, it exudes from you whether you’re a size 2 or a size 20. some have told me specific things like they love my huge boobs or my bubble butt, but what it’s come down to is whether there’s chemistry or not. I think guys honestly do not care, as long as you’re proportionate & a little extra boob, butt or belly is just more fun softness to grope.

    and I have nothing against Rosie O’Donnell’s figure. we’re just two completely different shapes, she’s an apple shape & I’m an hourglass shape.

    you know what new show has an amazingly quirky and surprisingly compelling angle on this whole fat thing? Drop Dead Diva on Lifetime. I’ve actually been .. impressed by it. the lead actress has totally won me over, and it has some moments of writing & acting that are truly inspired. yeah, I have some complaints too, but for the most part it’s been consistently good. also, it’s premise is truly unique. have you ever seen a show that is a comedy/drama/sci-fi/feminist fat issues/lawyer drama that has direct yet subtle influences from Freaky Friday, Dead Like Me, Six Feet Under, Vice Versa, Legally Blonde, Pushing Daises & Jemima Jones?? AND it’s exploring a well-thought-out message about being fat, while not being preachy – despite the fact that one of the characters is her guardian angel, haha!

    Most of these ladies are NOWHERE NEAR ready for a relationship. They view Luke as some kind of saviour from pain. It’s not about Luke himself at all.

    Now that he’s basically eliminated their main sympathy topic by telling them he thinks they’re all gorgeous and he accepts them just as they are, there really should be no further reason to use up their screen time (warning: bad BAD pun) blubbering.

    If I had to pick one for him, I’d say Malissa of the ‘besa’ is probably the least pathetic .. and she’s got something special about her. She’s.. what’s the word .. HAPPY.

    I agree that the weights on some of these women were completely unrealistic.
    Some of the girls were really pretty, some were really pathetic, which really pissed me off.
    I hate to be righteous, but the reason so many Americans are large is because of all the hormone-, antibiotics-laden crap you were fed without your knowledge. Thank your government, kids.

    OK, did not watch the show so I can’t say for sure, but in the screen cap, “plus sized model” Emme sure looked to me like she had slimmed down a bit from what she used to be. That seems kind of ironic to me. Can anyone confirm whether this was true?

    By “converting” non-chubby chasers…I meant I had a whole ceremony and everything. NO! I mean that I know the difference between a guy who liked fat chicks just for the fact that they are fat and guys who like girls for just being thin. I have dated both and actually it was the chubby chasers who creeped me out because I was more of a fetish and my weight was more of an issue.

    The guys who normally weren’t attracted to big girls were the more normal of the two. I would just be my talkative, funny self…and the fact that I know what clothes flatter my body and I can do hair and make up the right way (not Dolly Parton) helped.

    I never offered to do anything sexual since I was never hard up (vibrators, anyone?). But, believe me when they did get me to the sack…smiles al around.

    I went about it the same way when I was at 113 lbs and when I was 175 lbs (I’m short).

    Now, I am at about 149…and the hubby hasn’t complained yet.

    Thanks for the recap…wasn’t sure what to think about the show. I would imagine many of it’s watchers (and readers of these blogs) are heavy…and might not appreciate all the fat jokes. I too was a bit taken back when you commented that Danielle looked black, but was still cute…I do hope that “kdognatl” and I simply read too much into this. I enjoy your writing too much to have it ruined by underlying racism!

    After reading this blog and some of the comments it seems many of you are nothing but intolerant rabid hatemongers. Those who made the sickening comments and the one who wrote the blog must be liberal. You are known for that kind of behavior. A bunch of self loathing individuals.

    You obviously cannot accept people for who they are.

    The person who wrote the blog made a comment under Luke’s picture when he was young said “I don’t have Down’s Syndrome, I am just fat.”

    What a total loser you are for saying that. I don’t find your comment the least bit funny.
    It was not enough for you to go after heavy people, but you had to make fun of those with Down’s Syndrome.
    You must hate yourself so much to even attempt such a callous remark.

    I watched the show and Luke seemed to be one of the kindest most caring people around, which is much more than I can say for the blog writer here and many who commented. You are what is so wrong with today’s society.

    Oh please! Yes we make fun of this show because we’re not Republicans. You sound fat. Go throw a tea party and maybe someone will bring sandwiches, chunk!

    JohnnyRockets: I didn’t say you were not Republicans. I said because you all sound like intolerant liberals (redundant).

    Learn to read.

    Besides there are more parties than GOP. I’m not even a Republican myself and sure not a sick liberal like you.

    It’s indicitive of of people like you to not accept everyone as they are.

    Besides you take the name of a hamburger place. Sounds like you shove burgers down your throat all the time and then make fun of your own kind. Why do you make fun of fat people if you are fat yourself?
