Title: New dating show for slobs
Post by: pumpster on March 31, 2009, 01:27:18 PM
Starting later this year, you will no longer have to leave the comfort of your home to enjoy the sight of overweight couples dating at the multiplex.

Fox returns to the dating-competition scene with "More to Love," in which a group of "curvy women" are afforded the same opportunity to humiliate themselves over one guy, "Bachelor"-style. And the bachelor, whom all the contestants will aspire to land, will also have "a big waist and an even bigger heart."

"For six years, it's been skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors, and that's not what the dating world looks like," Darnell told the trades.

Which -- hello -- is kinda the point. Same reason we like our movie stars pretty. Except Jack Black. There's no explaining him. Or Seth Rogen.


Darnell begs to differ, insisting that the larger competitors make it "instantly relatable to the vast majority of people in the dating pool."

"This is a dating show that sends the right message about embracing and loving yourself no matter your shape or size," proclaimed Fleiss, the exec-producer of ABC's who-can-forget "Are You Hot? The Search for America's Sexiest People," in which skinny-minis and good-looking bachelors underwent the scrutiny of three celebrity judges, including Lorenzo Lamas, who used a laser pointer to zero in on contestants' physical imperfections.

Warming up to his cliche, Fleiss added that "when you are comfortable with your own body, you can really allow yourself to be open to the possibility of finding the right person to love."

On national TV.

My mate went to the USA recently, he said the reason people like movie stars there is that they must be the only thin and good looking people in the whole country. The whole place was fat.
