Just My Two Cents
Ok. I will admit it; I am a reality show junkie, and I watch some of the worst ones. "Charm School" anyone? I expect these to be over the top and hoping to shock the viewers. So, when I heard about "More to Love" and the premise of the show, I was intrigued. A show about people who are not a size 2 who are looking for love ala "The Bachelor" (it is from the producers of "The Bachelor") . And according to the promo: "Because size doesn't matter".
So, when I turned it on, five minutes or so into the program, low and behold, as the women exit the limo, their age, height and WEIGHT are flashed on the screen. HOW HYPOCRITICAL! If size doesn't matter, don't tell me how much they weigh! We don't know how much the women on "The Bachelor" weigh or the size of the men's penises on "The Bacelorette"! This is not a show about the contestants losing weight. They are looking for love (ok, I know... what are the chances they actually find true love. I will save that for another time.) So, I do not need to know this information.
It really pissed me off. I immediately sent out a tweet proclaiming my disgust. I also sent an email to Fox, and gave them...my two cents.

OMG! That is sick! First of all they act like its a big thing or "MISSION IMPOSSIBLE" for bigger women, or women who are larger than a size 6, to find love! Now going on a television show to do so is totally stupid... but hey, to each its own. But Damn, that is just horrible! That is so rude to flash their stats on TV like that. Pretty soon they are going to flash their old Teenage photos, if they havent already done so. This isnt the biggest looser! I though this was a show about LOVE .... not, oh lets point and laugh at the fat girl on TV! You go girl for sending that email to those people!

Sad thing about reality shows, its not real. Its all scripted. But I do admit, I watch reality TV once in awhile. I've been known to watch 'Keeping up with the Kardashians', lol.

Well if it's a show on Foxxx, you can't expect too much. Since I have a very inquisitive mind, I would like to see the stats of a person, just because I'm that nosey. But "reality" shows are not my thing. I had a friend on one and everything is scripted and it annoys me when people try to act too hard because they know they're on camera.
So yea, I just added to your two cents. Haha good post tho!!
