"More To Love" on Fox Network

Did anyone watch this show on TV last night? I am curious about peoples thoughts on the show.

Its a show that has the same basic premise as the Bachelor/Bachelorette shows where there is a Man or Woman, in this case a man that gets to choose who will be his wife. The women are in competition for this man's affection, and each week a certain amount of women get voted off untill he finds the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

The twist on this More to Love show is that the people on the show are larger than those that are on the other shows. Now I find the premise of this type of "reality" show to be stupid in the first place. But lets face it, stupidity and entertaining sometimes go hand in hand.

The thing that I thought was very interesting, that they don't do on the normal Bachelor/Bachelorette shows is that when they show each person on the screen, they put up their name, residence, job, age, HEIGHT and WEIGHT. I thought that was interesting that we need to know what each persons Height and Weight were.....

Love to hear some thoughts on this.

those outfits were definitely a sight for sore eyes! i would never.

Oh Goody! A chance to vent about this show!

It made me so mad! At first I thought it would be a good show to watch, focusing on the average girl, more realistic. When the girls started to cry and whine about being fat and nobody has ever loved them I was dumbfounded! It ticked me off that the angle of the show is feeding the stereo type of the fat chic who can't get a guy unless the guy is also fat and a kind soul who won't judge. OH PLEASE!!! And WTF about the height and weight?? If it's not about weight, then why obsess about it? Then entire show is centred around being fat and hating yourself. It's not about self acceptance and being beautiful at any weight!

And another thing!.. what is so good about this guy that these girls are throwing themselves at him, quitting jobs to go and compete for a perfect stranger! If you ask me.. he's pretty average and acts like a martyr, being the nice guy who accepts fat chicks. PPPPLEASE.

Ahh feel much better now!

I only watched the first episode and then canceled the series. I have no interest in watching it after seeing the first one.

Ok I watched for the first time last week and the 2nd time this week. This guy is BOOORING!! Moonbeam you hit it! He does act like the nice guy who accepts fat chicks! But what about the girl-kristen, I think is her name-the one with the really curly curly hair. She is "in love" with him already and crying and so jealous of the other girls!? But, I noticed that the girls that are leaving the show are the ones that are the more confident of the group. The ones that whine more seem to be the ones staying! WTF is that about? Does this guy want a needy girl? Maybe he is that "superman" type of guy that needs to save someone??

Of course my DH doesn't watch reality TV but seems oh so interested in this one LOL!

this girl seems like an obsessed stalker type. i cant believe he kept her after she confessed how "in love" she was with him! he's just as nuts as the rest of them

maybe someone should tell them the real reason they're all single has nothing to do with being fat! the reason they're single is cuz they're whiny, attention seeking idiots with no class or self esteem. god what man wants a woman who cries on national tv? lol just the premise that heavy women can't find a man is insulting. i never lacked tor male attention even at my heaviest. these women aren't single cuz they're fat its cuz they're weirdos

I have seen it and even have it recorded but have not seen the second episode. While I agree with all you ladies that they are blaming not being able to get a man becasue of their weight in most cases are true. Alot of Ooese women are still in the "mode" of not being wanted by SOCIETY, let alone a MAN it was "our" life or at least a couple times it has happened to me. I have lost 75lbs and I can honeslty say that I don't see a difference at all and have actually slipped back into my bad habits!! I am married so it's not becasue of a MAN not wanting me. I don't know I agree they are whinning alot but maybe that is the emotion part of this show to get popularity..I don't know. But i do think several of these women do have low self esteem I know I did/do at times even now.

I watch it....that's my dirty little secret. What keeps me entranced is watching how UNcomfortable some of the women look when Luke is all in "pimp daddy" mode trying to make out with them.

I think he's a dude that needs to constantly feed his ego, and he thinks he can be a "stud" to this group of overweight women, even though he looks like a giant douchebag (how many times is he going to pull the cliched "You look cold...here, wear my jacket" stuff? I've seen him do that at least 3 times so far).

So yeah, I'll continue to watch. It's trash TV, for sure....but it keeps me entertained.

I've been watching it but hate it. I can't stand Luke. He is NOT a nice guy. He's acting the martyr. "Yes ladies, no one loves you but me and I'm the only one that will ever try to see you for you and I don't care that you're fat, see how good I am?" What a jerk.

They stopped the height/weight thing last week. They didn't show that at all so that's one step in the right direction.

I HATE the promise rings. Give them a ring, then right before the ceremony you take it back. Tacky, tacky, tacky!!!

I've been watching Dance Your A*& off. I kind of like that one. It gets better every week. It is good to see how they are improving. I'm not thrilled with some of the outfits, but really, they are just dressing like the dancers on other shows. Still it does look weird to see all that. But it is nice to see them improve and drop the weight.

The other "fat" show that's on right now is Drop Dead Diva. I like this one (not reality). The only negative I can say about it is the food stuff they throw in, but other than that it's pretty good.

I've never been a Biggest Loser fan though I'm going to try to get through it this next season. I just always felt that it was presenting such unreachable goals. That all those "normal" people started looking at us tubbies thinking, well, if Joe can drop 10 pounds in a week why can't you?"

Some of those girls are not even fat! And HELLO why do they fail to mention HE'S FAT TOO!! I don't like him either. He seems really boring to me.

and what the hell was that good wife bad wife thing? Seriously??? Like those girls don't have bad enough self esteem to begin with they have to tear them down just a little bit more? And wife? What about career woman? Why doenst' have have to take bad husband good husband. sheesh. yet i'm watching the show.... lol

I watched it last night and found it very entertaining. Some of the women are really pretty but I don't think he's any great catch. I don't get to watch much reality TV or TV period for that matter so don't know if I'll get to follow the show.
