Thumbs down Did anyone else watch it?

I liked:
The message she was trying to send.
The winner had a beautiful voice.

I disliked:

The name of the award - Ms. F.A.T. Creating an acronym out of fat doesn't curve the derrogatory meaning. That's like trying to create an acronym for the N word - I still would not want to be called that.

The reward - who wants JMS??? Ashley Stewart or Lane Bryant - now that's what I'm talking about.

The guy that plays Professor Oglvie. Puhlease. That is so played out. I didn't like how his character treated Mo'Nique's character anyway.

I thought the show would center more around full-figured women who were happy with themselves. Ms. Quinn was the only one that I truly saw that in and she lost. So many of those women were emotional wrecks that it was ridiculous. True confidence doesn't care what "skinny" america thinks. I wanted to see a real competition - not a pity party.

Also - the slamming of "skinny" women. But - it's shallow if a thin person does it to an overweight person....(and for the record - I am not thin).

I think it also would have been better if it focused more on changing the idea that women like Ms. Quinn are fat. She was a little heavy - but certainly not "fat".

Ok.
