Anyone watch More to Love?

Anyone watch this show.  I watched the first 2 episodes bc my guilty pleasure is reality dating shows. 

My opinion:

I liked the premise of the show that "normal looking people" would be on the show since everyone on reality tv seems to fit a certain Hollywood image (except for Ed, of course).  

I was disturbed that:

A. They displayed the girls' weights on the screen during their confessionals

B. The girls were portrayed as all being super needy/insecure

C.  The guy seems to be a creeper, IMO. Kissing multiple girls the first night--not cool.

Re: Anyone watch More to Love?

  • haha! I'm with you, I'd love to say that I didn't watch it, but there really isn't much on right now, and I was caught up with all my other shows I have on my DVR(that's the excuse I'll use~lol!) Anyway~ I was totally appalled(sp?) that they posted the girls weight. What was the reasoning in that~to prove that they really did get heavier girls?! not sure of what that was for. At least they posted his weight too! But its not like they do that on the bachelor/bachelorette. Strange. And the dude definitely looks creepy~like he's a pervert or something. Just the look in his eyes as he was talking to the girls was strange. YUCK!

  • I haven't watched it and I don't plan on watching it.  I have to say, the whole idea behind the show and what I've heard so far bothers me.  I'm a fat girl and I have my fair share of insecurities, but I have to say that I have never had a problem finding someone to date.  Yes, I dated my fair share of losers.  Yes, sometimes it was rough.  (But let's be honest, doesn't everyone have dating issues at some point in their life?)  Yes, it took me a long time to find my "true love", that one person who loves me for me, for who I am, through all of my flaws, no matter what.  But would I ever go on a dating show marketed towards big girls where they were going to make me feel degraded, portray me as pathetic and desperate and put my weight out there on national television?  Hell no.
  • i watched it last week but missed this week!  

    a.  yes, totally crazy that they showed the weights!! they would never do this with the skinny bachelor!

     

    b.  i think the girls are super needy and insecure.  it would have been nice if they had cast a few confident plus sized women!

     

    c.  not sure wat to think of the guy yet...but i give them all props for getting in swimsuits on national television.  i would never have the guts to do this!

  • I like the idea in theory and while I hate the weights being posted, I think it was interesting for some of the women who I never would have thought were overweight.

    I was upset, too, that some of the seemingly confident women broke down quickly too. I hope this guy doesn't turn out to be a total jerk, but even my H was creeped out by some of his 'c'mere and kiss me' lines.

  • After the second show, I am just so annoyed with how the show is portraying overweight with being insecure and not being able to find a man.   Why do the two have to go hand in hand (as the show is making it seem)?

      I was hoping that the show would be about real people trying to find love...unlike the bachelor which shows bunch of model-types looking for love.  I thought it would be about self confident women who may not fit a Hollywood stereotype. 

    Instead, it is basically telling society that if you are not a size 2, you will have hard time finding love...total crap IMO. 

  • I haven't watched it. I got an email from Avenue or Lane Bryant when they were doing casting calls and it irritated me. I admit I'm curious about it but something about the premise doesn't sit well with me. My guess is that at some point during the show, there will be an "Average Joe" type twist and a bunch of skinny girls who like bigger guys will show up and that would just make me stabby.
    I'm pretty sure it's pronounced your mom's a moron and if you didn't have your name legally changed by the age of 22, so are you. Unless you're from another continent. -Groomz
