tom brady is the epitome of the american success story, and outside of a bunch of boston folks, most of america hates his ass. Cause they can't relate to him. knocks up TWO model hot chicks, dimples, smug and full of himself 24/7.
People can relate to DLB. Short, poor genetics, definitely has her flaws, but is spunky and believes in herself and connects with many people that struggle with weight, getting attention, etc. She gives them hope. Same way Peyton manning, with his goofy face, big head, messed teeth and bad hair is 100x more likeable than tom brady. People can relate.
She gets MORE love by failing on the show, than she ever could by being the shiny star that easily whisks her way to victory. Her base relates to her failing in round 2 way more than if she was a skinny cheerleader with perfect hair and smile, taking 1st place witohut breaking a sweat.
People relate to her, and she'll continue to be a success.
Compared to the 50th Olympia being canceled, she did appear on NBC, if only for a few sec.
