Is there "More to Love"?

After the end of "The Bachelorette" last night, I need to fill the reality-show void that is Tuesday night. So, I decided to watch the new show "More to Love". In case you haven't seen the previews, the premise is a larger than life bachelor will have his pick of 20 big, beautiful women. This idea makes me indignant to the point that I must tune in! After watching the show, I decided to share my thoughts on the good and bad:

Good:

Only one hour long. It is excruciating to sit through two hours of The Bachelor and Bachelorette without the DVR due to the empty conversations and even emptier heads.

Gorgeous diamond rings are given out instead of cheesy roses.

The women do for the most point seem to have some substance, although all the ones our BBB (Big beautiful bachelor) asked for a kiss caved immediately. Hold something back ladies! Yes, this "relationship" is moving at warp speed, but you don't have to give all the goodies out tonight.

Requisite drunken Bachelor behavior, a la evening gown pool diving, name calling ( I guess "otter" is a name), and drinking just a wee bit too much. Oh, and cheesy attention getting stunts, like dancing lessons. Although, no singing, which is a big plus.

Now for the questionable:

Why, oh why, do they have to show everyone's height and weight next to their name at all times? We get that the ladies are large. We get it. These poor girls have put themselves WAY out there on reality t.v., can you cut them a break?

The BBB is kind of smarmy, like he can't believe his luck that these BBW's (Big beautiful women) are actually fawning all over him.

The girls have NO self-esteem. None. Not even a smidgen. Even the ones that proclaim they do say things like, "I've never had a relationship" "This is my last chance for love" etc. These girls are pretty! They have jobs. They have (some) brains. This is not the last chance for love. They need to bring 19 other BBB's on board and get these ladies some dates.

75% of the women cried in their intros. This made me feel so bad for them, that it was excruciating when some were sent home.

To sum up, if a show wants to really be realistic, they should have one average size bachelor with women of all shapes and sizes. That would really be something. I truly believe women are beautiful in all forms, and the skinny, big-boob ideal that prevails in Hollywood only exists to make the rest of us feel bad about ourselves on a daily basis. BUT, I think it is slightly misogynistic and mean to parade these women as sad sacks with their weights next to their name. Maybe it will get better...
